Since about a month or so(may be slightly more) I noticed a thud#jerk when shifting in to D from P ans sometimes vise versa. I ignored this think it was 'just' an issue that would be sorted next time the car was serviced.
The problem has changed since yesterday however and has escalated.
Driving home last evening I noticed that when moving off from a standstill the car was a bit sluggish. Giving it gas resulted in the RPM climbing to about 2K at which point the card would jerk forward. (some what similar to what it would be like when suddenly releasing the clutch of a manual car) This has increased in frequency now that it happen on mots occasions this morning and evening as well. Traffic on Parliament road was heavy and I drove in low gear thinking it would decrease the prob.
I searched the forum and saw a couple of similar cases. Mines just a tad bit different.
In neutral RPM is about 800 or so. If idling in D its about 750. Is this normal??
An uncle knows a Manager at A*W and he's set up an inspection tomo. I would like to know your ideas before I have hear what they say.
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.
