Vibrating + knocking sound? erm..from where? tyre there? hard to know, better send to workshop..they know more..

coz i always rev high, around 4-5k only change gear 1.. hehe.. n i brake a lot.. but recently i try not to rev often, i drive n always maintain 3k or below...seems like it gonna acheive better fc.. wait for next fill ba
i 90% are rev till 4-5k.. most of the time.. sad... i was thinking to do top overhaul also.. now i was wondering d..

if always revving high, always check engine oil is adequate. and don't extend the time to change oil also use good quality oil.

hi guys,

Q8 semi-syn 10w40 or Eneos (Semi Synthetic) SM/CF 10W40 where to buy qenuine in KL? How much is the pricing? i heard alot of fake oil merchant. I need do to servicing soon.

Im a wira 1.5L Auto sedan driver. Year of manufacture 2000 iinm but recently i encounter gearbox problem when during early morning or cold mode whereby slow response between 2 to 3 gears. Its like gear not shifting but the rpm rev until 2~3k. Its delay shifting about 3 sec. after that, its shifting as usual.

Back in years May 2010 i encounter GB problem also whereby its wont shift gear from 2~3. Getting worst day by day. All foremen said gearbox problem but when i decided to change gearbox the day it run fine. Therefore the foremen said try change back to original ATF and new filter which last me about 1.5 years until last week i decided to change ATF oil again but it wont solve the problem i encounter when GB in cold mode but slightly better in response. The delay is shorten by 1 sec. This time i use Toyota T-IV atf oil as requested by me.

Genuine ones you will never go wrong with petrol station ones

you mean petrol station got sell Q8 semi-syn 10w40 or Eneos (Semi Synthetic) SM/CF 10W40? Which petrol station selling them around Subang and PJ?

Nope they don't sell, they don't sell their brand but confirm genuine

My engine eat engine oil 1, haha, tats y I was thinking to do top overhaul, I m using semi oil all the time n service at 5k, normally ppl service at 8k.. But since my car eat engine oil d, n I think to maintain my car performance, so I change at every 5k.. I do check my oil lvl once per week, or before travel for one hour n above drive..

guys i just noticed that my 1994 Wira 1.6XLi is having some problem with the aircond and temperature.

my air cond is usually very cold and comfortable but jz now somehow it started blowing air only when my car is stationary and my temperature will be only one bar below the red line.

the air cond will only be cold again when i start moving followed by the temperature reading reduced.

anyone experience this before?

problem with your radiator fan.

how about my 1.6, when i am driving below 3k.. my aircon is cold..
but when my rpm is abour 3-4k or abve, the aircon start to change warm
it happens 2 month ago.. be4 that, everything was fine..

Sometime engine oil lessen because it evaporated, coz too hot. Like mine eventho overhaul ard but still oil lessen..

Fan not spinning fast enough or your compressor about to kong.

need to check your radiator fan first. Because when driving at high rpm, engine will be hotter than usual. When ECU detected higher temperature than normal, it will cut off aircon compressor. Sometimes it cause by waterpump also.

For old car, my mechanic advise not to use semi/full synthetic oil. Stick to mineral. As it is less chance for it to get into combustion chamber and 'eat oil'

After top overhaul, then he says ok to switch back to semi/full.

Not sure on the truthfulness though

oo ya, 2 years ago, i changed timing belt, n bearing but forget to change water pump.. ><" so somehow it is ok when i din not drive till 4k rpm.. when i was in 140km/L, my rpm is around 4k d.. i think should be water pump issue.. coz if ECU problem, how come lastime dint not happen rite??

ya dad advise me to use mineral too.. but i tried once, pick up lousy, n fc become worst, so.. i still using semi eventhough i nit to top up engine oil quite often..

ya, mineral will make the engine feels heavy, harder to rev.

btw OT: at 1st glance i thought your avatar pic is BDSM equipment.

Wow...selling Q8 engine oil pulak..

guys....the light on my gear lever (auto) is not working......anyone tried changing it before.........easy to diy? what type of bulb....appreciate ur feedback
