can i know the estimated cost for complete top overhaul for wira..

thank u..

Around Rm400+.... I done mine but with the mechanic that i know personally...

Depending on what needs to be replace.

If top overhaul kit, the part price is RM90-100.
If valve need replacement, 1 nos RM15-20.
Usually engine oil & filter will be change together, add that as well.
Labour charge about RM280-300 (inclusive of valve grinding).

why ur car need top overhaul??... producing lotsa white smoke??...

Where you guys quote it RM 300-400? It's really cheap, cause my friend did top-overhaul on his Nissan, cost him RM 900 (workshop in Bdr Sunway)

I am just thinking of doing top overhaul for my Nissan Sunny too
No blue smoke, but valve tappet is making loud "tat tat tat" noises around 2000-2500RPM.Only can be heard outside.

Otherwise the car's engine still can do wonders in power.

Wira top overhual is around RM400-500

thanks for the review...

my car overheat..and got a bit of oil leaking..

mechanic suggest me to do top overhaul..

I did a full overhaul for my Sunny at RM1400.

Added on October 26, 2008, 9:01 pmdid u check whether the water level reduce drastically?
if yes, check radiator & hoses for leakage.
if no, radiator might need servicing + cleaning.
next check if the water's flowing (water pump).

if head gasket 'kong' d or somehow the water get into the combustion chamber, then only u do a top overhaul.

Overheat and straight away want to do top overhaul?
Hold on that decision for a second.
Seems like you are a headless-chicken, not knowing what to exactly do.

Have your mechanic checked whether your cooling system is not blocked,leaking until no water, faulty radiator fan or even faulty water thermostat?
It maybe dirty, clogged and needs "flushing". Either goto a Radiator specialist, or buy a Radiator flush chemical and DIY yourself at home.

Try that and see if your engine still overheats.

Oil Leak? Find a bottle of leak preventers, example: GOLD EAGLE NO LEAK ENGINE OIL TREATMENT.
Otherwise ask your mechanic where is it exactly leaking.

Few months ago I bought a bottle of HOLTS RADWeld to stop my radiator leak, poured almost 1/2 the bottle and it stopped leaking. Saved me RM 100 repairs.

Dont look down at "off-the-shelf" chemicals in ACE Hardware or JUSCO; reputable/well-known brands can help you first in saving RM 100 over bucks of repair by following the instructions on the bottle.

hmmm~
mayb his car overheated n cannot move edi then how? ?

If really la car overheated, engine stopped and someone tries to start again, then no need to think for top overhauls, cause the user already damaged the seized pistons.

My sis's ex-Kancil experienced full overheating once so badly,due to burst plastic T-pipe near the carb, the engine just stopped by itself at our porch gate. After cool down for 1 hr, start the engine again and it was running fine, except the valve sounded abit louder.

I too experienced engine overheating on my Nissan Sunny due to jammed water thermostat at "closed" position.When the engine overheats, engine feels much more laggy but still able to crawl safely to a nearby petrol station.But couldn't drive home safely.
After thermostat repaired, the water pump gave way
But my engine runs fine after that until today....

So at least I have experiences in overheating situation.

mine also~
i damage my piston n did d overhaoul for my satria~

Do keep a spare bottle of water in the car just in case also

Mine was when I was going to Jusco with my friend's car
He didn't even realised his water temp meter is at max and he still drives gila. Ended up overheated and stopped at the paring tol there when we were about to park. Ended up pushing the car, and fill up the radiator, total no water at all. In the end, can start, radiator memang leak adi and still don't wanna fix

u dont need to do top overhaul....

thanks for the advice, man.

valve seal if engine oil is leaking...
oil seal is if smoke ler?

the other way round...

valve seal if smoke
oil seal if leak
