Hi, I have a problem. My Nissan Sunny fb 14 automatic, takes a long time to engage the D gear after a stop of 4-5 hours or an overnight. There is no sign of ATF leak, gear missing or any kind of sound from the Gear Box.
For moving forward, either I have to keep engine in ideal RPM for 4-5 minutes before engaging D or after starting the engine, engage D and wait for 4-5 minutes. If I engage D earlier than that, the car will remain as if in N Gear. For the R gear no issues at all at any time.
After the car has traveled around 1 to 2KMS, the problem completely goes away and if I shift back to N and back to D again, it will take only a 1 sec delay.
To get the car moving quickly, I have to engage initially 2nd or 1st then 3rd gear finally D and drive it approximately 1KM before the D works.
This problem did not come suddenly. It has been getting worse over the last 2 years, and initially it happened only after an overnight stop in cold season. Now it happens every morning or after a stop of 4-5 hours. The colder the engine is, the longer it takes to get D engaging.
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/-
Why didnt I think of this before
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.
