Noticed water drop in from radiator first, then change the radiator cap, but the situation same, then again check water pressure and noticed Water Jacket leakage. Replaced water jacket but the situation still remaining. then changed radiator fan (in this type Only one fan for both radiator and AC), done full radiator service (found some leakages and fixed them). Now in the idle running condition the temperature controls normally (Fan start at when getting heated the engine and off automatically with AC and without AC modes), But in the long run WITH AC and if we stuck in the traffic temperature goes high instantly. (Goes down if we switch off the AC).
What will be the issue ?
didn't check Thermostat / Water pump yet. And mechanics suspects gas cut issue.
So for a spirited convo like this old times; ?BYD
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?
I have an empty parking slot at home previously occupied for 6 years by the starlet and 3 months by an AD wagon -what would be a bang-for-the-buck fun shitbox? Preferably auto as I live in a crowded suburb that has sapped the joy of stick shift out of my system.
