I'm going to buy a car in SL for 2 mil while being in Germany. Then I'm going to put up a public raffle draw and pick one lucky winner to gift that car when I have 600 participants registered in the raffle draw. Registration fee for each participant is Rs. 5000/-· 1 reply
Why didnt I think of this before

So for a spirited convo like this old times; ?BYD· 4 replies
My father has gone ninja about getting one, despite being the new hype/fad here these are common across the world and I've seen a few cross 100,000km in Nepal and Australia.
Seal - Looks nice, very premium interior but too low for my applications
Sealion - Very Premium, feels very well built, BUT that 1.5L on that reasonable chunk of car with a measly 18KW battery seems like a recipe for trouble, incase they sink in value at least the fuel economy must justify that (They say it's a BYD engine - though the lore is it is a hyundai engine)
Atto 3 - Most sold from their lot apparently, common af, Seems to be the best bang for buck IMHO, Its electric since BYD is famed for that, Interior is kinda good, the thing is larger than a vezel but not too large like the Sealion, cheap mobility I guess with less things to go wrong
Dolphin, almost a smaller atto and again too car like and not suited for my application.
JK nailed it on the price and distribution but the only guaranteed thing here is the lot are gonna muck up the aftersales. The Kandy center staff behave like the crew from a Govt. post office.
What are your thoughts and opinions? Could this be the next Wagon R or is this a passing fad like the Micros of 2000s-2010s?

Question
Iroshw
Hi,
I have a doubt whether the problem is with the entire fuel pump or with the fuel filter or the fuel pressure regulator.
It is 2005 Picanto (Kia) with 160k millage.
Not changed the fuel filter for nearly 4 years (80,000km). The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank which is under the rear seat.
Recently occurred this problem, after driving 20-30km the car starts losing power, knocking and misfiring, hard to pick up. Due to the fuel quality, I cleaned the fuel pump by myself. Noticed a lot of dirt in the filter and the regulator looks new (but I have not changed it during the last 4 years). After cleaning the car drove smoothly and fast but only for 20-30km, and started losing power, knocking and misfiring. I had to clean the entire fuel pump many times. And I notice the dirt (black color) coming out from the filter all the time. Used Liqui Moly Fuel System cleaner too but didn't work.
Note: Though the car gets slow acceleration after 20-30km with hard pickup, knocking and misfiring, idle is stable and no issues when starting the car. But when I put A/C on, the idle drop and leads to off the engine. Even with the stable idle not picking up in the 1st gear (this is manual) and hard.
Spare parts are expensive like hell, so one of my friends said the issue should be the Fuel regulator, but it is not available in Sri Lanka (checked almost everywhere in SL). Another friend said the issue is with the fuel filter as it has not been replaced for years, it's clogged and blocking the fuel system. A fuel filter is available for 6500LKR. Another said to replace the entire fuel pump (cost is 35k).
If anyone has a similar experience, please let me know what you did to fix this matter.
