whats the reason????????????????????

okey plz don't ask me a in depth details, because i put the words staright out of my uncles mouth....

(if u ask i can talk to my uncle and then reply later not immediately)

two reasons,

1) the fact that sensors are located inside or outside the engine compartment has an effect on the health of sensors(i guess "due" factor plays a role here), the reason why most N16's and cars like that have this so called sensor issue is because of this placement, from what i heard cefiro is also somewhat suceptible to prob.

[the point remains that if any sensor is exposed to water they burn, but some engines are more suceptible than others]

2) If cefiro engine is subjected to overheating, a simple gasket replacement wont' do the trick, according to my uncle SL lack the infrastructure to do the such repair to the cefiro 2L V6 engine block.[now this fact was not clear to me but i gather him concluding that overheating a cefiro engine means biig biiig trouble than overheating some other engine]

OK, If I have to face that risk, How much would it cost?

it wudnt b a problem if the owners had sum sense not to wash an engine...

the cefiro engines run very hot invariably...the most probable cause for over heating is a f**kd water pump or thermostat...or both...

[west coast customs]

well i think the manual Mitsubishi lancer is better no sensor problems although there are many problems into it

quite a few that i know, hardly know wotz going on inside the service station, most just leave the service station personnel decide what to wit da service the so the service station guys invariably try to do as much cleaning/washing as possible. certain SL aren't all that concerned about the technical details of their cars or pay much attention to mantaining, which is why so called HARDY vehicles that can be hacked and still be used somewhat reliably are hot cakes in SL.

I wonder how many of our drivers keep a track of the temperature gauge in the car in normal daily driving, while climbing uphill to kandy or nuware eliya how many over-heated vehicles would u ideally see, overheating can happen out of the blue on any car, due to any random reason as a electric failure in the fan etc. etc.

I assume by the phrase "How much would it cost?" u mean how much the extra risk might cost you, well even a replaced engine might not cost you any more than a couple of lakhs. so if u are in such love for the car, u should go ahead and buy the vehicle, just keep in mind that outside colombo 95 octane petrol is very very very rare, so if u r running a GDI and u go out of colombo often, best thing is to know how to create high octane petrol all by your self... now there's plenty of AL members who can advice you on how to do that ur self...

a fan knockin off is an openly visible fault...can happen to any car n cefiro's are not prone to these faults out of the factory...i dnt knw abt the 2000 model n beyond...totaly diffrnt engines
