Chevrolet Optra Engine maintenance

[Pisces69]

Always pump my tyres to 230kpa (biweekly)

did a carburetor cleaning and changed fuel filter the previous servicing

Also tried using before STP complete fuel system cleaner, gas treatment, octane booster, fuel injector cleaner..

None of them help

 

 

 

Stop doing all those stuff or adding those additives or cleaners. Ty cn make more problems.

 

Find out what is e problem n settle it. Dont experiment. Only make it worse.

 

Many ws like u as customer. Ty end up charge u fr so many things n still never solve problem. Maybe time fr u to chg a better more honest ws.

True. I get full set of parts incl waterpump ac belt n coolant n get my ws to change. Full peace of mind.

 

Last time i chg at 70k km. Now coming 140k km i inspect all still in very good condition so i wil chg at 150k km. So although handbook say chg 60k km i now drag to 80k km. Hee.

I just bought my 2nd hand 2008 optra, and did 60k service include whole package timing belt change, AM charged me $688

reasonable or

More important what do u think.

 

Fr me i never go AD cos their chargs always very ex.

Tip,

 

Pump 92 ron on optra, it seems more smooth

Engine rough or jerky or die off is either fuel or electrical prob.

 

U cn try do ecu reset then see when it die again if u hv spark at plug. If spark is strong chk if fuel flowing freely.

1st service of used car, I more believe AD, subsequencely will be outside

btw, I feel Chervolet Aircon not so effective compare to my previous Japanese and Hyundai cars, even if AM chacked no problem

is it true?

I find ac is adequate but not super cold. Try chk yr ac filter under glovebox. If dirty then chg. It helps.
