Hi gen2 user's , i'm planning to buy second gen2 year 2004/2005 but i heard most gen2 owners having a lot of problems with this car . Is it true gen2 caused a lot of problems and maintenance quite high?

QUOTE(Dovienya @ Mar 10 2010, 11:05 AM) rattling sound? sounds during driving only and seems consistently but dunno can record it or notpinging sound? bombing sound? consistently appear? random occurrence? sound appear at all speed? sound appear only a certain speed? sound from engine bay? sound from inside the cabin? sound only during driving? same sound when idling? got phone to record the sound (turn off radio) and attach it here?  how bout fc for gen2 auto rite now with current petrol price? is that ok we fuel with ron95?

QUOTE(shazmn @ Apr 18 2010, 07:32 PM) what are the symptoms? symptoms , i'm not sure how to explain the symptoms coz it suddenly happenscheck fuel pump wiring connecting socket first...location is at the passenger door behind driver at the lower area there's a black cover right? open the cover and check the socket...some gen2 suffers a melting socket...  if the socket melts, find an extra wire (can cut some wire from ur old computer PSU or fan wire etc) make sure it is the same size and just bypass the socket... new ECU cost less than 2000...anyway where's ur location? need more details la...car what year manufactured and please PLEASE PLEASEEEE give us the symptoms la... my location in kelana jaya car is year 2004 year model 1.6 Gen2 Automatic |
