QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Dec 28 2011, 12:34 PM) Did you stop or continue driving when reach red-line ? Almost reaching red-line. No steam/smoke either, but the air cond suddenly blows hot air. Thats why i decided to stop.My case, it reach red line. But I continue drive for >30 minutes. Then it drops back to middle there. No smoke/steam comes out. Happens few times a week. Radiator cap is fine. No radiator water loss/leak. Fans all working. Finally mechanic says is the VDO meter cluster temperature faulty. I did not change it though. Yes. It needs pressure to work, but if the seal is leaking, the steam/hot air leaks out, and you will run low on radiator water/coolant. The mechanic haven't called back since yesterday, going to their shop later to ask. |

QUOTE(KIntos @ Dec 29 2011, 10:39 AM) hey bro. i encounter this b4 but mine not reach red line. when i drive 10~15 mins my temp raised up to 1 bar above middle then continue drive will drop back to middle level. Lastly i changed the thermostat. The thermostat not functioning properly at the rated temp. It open too slow. After change thermostat, my temp below middle level now. Becoz of this bloody thermostat, its caused many of my rad hose hardened. I change all my hose include the tiny hose before the thermostat. Oh, i took back my wira yesterday, the mech says its the radiator pipe leakage, they spent one whole day checking with no avail, finally took to another shop where they measure got pressure drop, hence deduced its the radiator pipe, so total spent 200 for everything . Radiator pipe, flushing the radiator , add new coolant and workmanship.Bloody culprit was the thermostat. Sigh. Just spent 200+ recently for servicing, now.. |

QUOTE(Lineage @ Jan 4 2012, 11:59 PM) Car more powerful..Gear drag further AT wira? Yeah i was hoping the VS + GC will solve the throttle body shuddering issue when i start my car under the hot sun (just changed TB before this).Fuel save not noticeable maybe due to my heavy foot.. Air cond compressor kick in not noticeable and not so frequent.. All lights seems brighter So FC still remains like last time? Bummer. |

QUOTE(carcraze66 @ Jan 5 2012, 10:02 AM) hey bro...rupanya shuddering issue is due to the TB problem? haha..mine oso have this prblem...whenever i park at my college..in the afternoon my car will like vibrate and dun want to move..haha...lepas a while then ok...is this problem of the TB or shud i install VS+GC? cause i think i havent change my TB yet since quite a time...haha Yeah, did ur orange engine light light up when the car shudders? Its TB, common problem in our wiras. Changed once jor, last time is the car will shudder, stutter and finally died off in the middle of the road btw i also interested to install eric.tioh VS+GC... i quote his price aready...total RM250 for both... I am just hoping the VS and GC can regulate my car system. Yeap, 250 for both. Probably next week will fix with my friend together. Nvm lah as long the VS and GC gives the car the extra oomph, wira quite powerful on the highway. Mine still can hit 140 easily although the steering is shaking like mad, though they say its the balancing problem. |

QUOTE(ulatsoket @ Mar 6 2012, 10:51 AM) hi. First time i post in here. What colour of the smoke? My wira overheated and somehow melt the top gasket causing water to leak into the engine and mixed with the engine oil. White smoke spurt out of the exhaust when its started. Im a wira owner. 1.5gl carburator manual 1996. I want to join the club. Please register me. Thanks First question, what is the model of the engine of my wira. Im thinking of full rebuilding the engine myself coz theres a lot of smoke coming out like kereta api (no kidding). The smoke even got into and filled up the passenger cabin if we open the window. Suiciders would love this car, dont even have to tarik paip dari ekzos ke dlm kabin utk bunuh diri. Haha. Ok. Anybody know which engine part specifically responsible for the keretapi smoke?. Thanking you in advance. I did a top overhaul for my engine costing 455rm few days ago and its okay now (touch wood) |

QUOTE(ulatsoket @ Mar 7 2012, 12:41 PM) Its a white smoke, and consumed engine oil too. I had to refill oil every 2 week. What do you think is the exact problem? If possible i dont want to do full overhaul. If its similar problem with mine, u will see the engine oil turn a milky white colour. Anyway not too knowledgeable on these things, just sharing my story cheers! Im thinking of alternative solution to the overhauling the engine, that is to upgrade the current stock 4g15 to waja or persona stroker kit, changing from 1.5 to 1.6L. Because of the same process of widen the hole and installing new piston and new ring, i think the smoke problem will be gone too. Anybody opinion on these? Thanks. Sorry for the long story. |
