We bought a 2007 Vitz (SCP90) with 182K+ on ODO recently and did necessary replacements and a full service soon after. Now, when driving, I hear a kind of a noise from the engine bay area which feels/hears like a belt slipping or insufficient tension. It's not continuous, it's on and off. Comes regardless of whether AC is on/off. It's not that bothering but I want this gone/fixed. I suspected drive belt and tried to inspect the appearance but I couldn't say exactly if it's good or bad as I'm not experienced. Hoping to show it to a mechanic soon.
According to the WWW, those belts are to be replaced like after 60,000-100,000 miles? I didn't see a record of such replacement done on this car. What are your thoughts?
A guy advertises a mileage blocker on the quick site saying that his device blocks the vehicle mileage from changing on the odometer. Is it legal to advertise stuff like this?
Bought a 2007 (Reg 2011) Vitz SCP90 (Mileage 180K+) for the family (will be used by my father). Seems to be in good condition but had some new owner repairs/replaces done to have a free mind.
Sinopec 95 oct performs much better than ceypetco. Also burns tad faster ( maybe because the car is driven harder because of said performance jump)
Auto Diesel no difference.
What's with the Sri Lankan car community and the need to have a Facebook group for every model out there? A guy who was very active in the 'scene' for a particular model (he was like the godfather for that model) migrated to Europe and started another Facebook group for a different model in that country - unsurprisingly all the members in that group are Sri Lankans

I will update what my mechanic would have to say?
