I have a Daewoo racer since nov 1995,alloted to my father then
In the begining there was problem of maintanance as this was the first EFI car In Pakistan now this problem is solved
Two Good Mechanics:-
Federal Autos I-10 ISB ph.no:4440508
Daewoo Plus fire Brigade Market ISB
Always Install Geniune parts as with experience we learned that the non-genuine parts give the car problems
I am Using it on petrol(rs.150- Hi Octane and Rest Premier---this keeps the injectors clean and the car missing ratio to almost nil)it gives me 11.5-13km/L in City and aroung 13-14.5km/L on highway may be improved if 5th gear installed as rpm reaches 3.5 to 4 thousand on motorway
Key is regular maintanance and smooth driving style
the drive of car is excellent(comfortable) i usually travel at 100-120km/Hr on gt road and no bumping feeling felt in car
i once at night crossed a road piece cut out from inbetween to be filled afterwards on gt road at speed of 130 km/Hr
i thought that i have broken all the suspension and shocks but when i came out the car was excellent condition and so i drove it further on highway for 2 hours .
this explains the cars durability
When You Buy the vehicle see how much its driven.mostly try to buy car which has been used as second car and mostly in isb or on motorway. see the normal vehicle condition to see if it has been properly maintained .ask about maintanance and workshop were maintained.You can go there to ask about the vehicle status.
Dont be disheartened on dents or scratches.this is old car basically repainted thus can be done again.Observe the engine condition.Open hood to see the general wiring of vehicle which suggests that if it has been tempered(v.Essential Part of Vehicle) When You Buy The car always keep in mind a little bugdet for minor repairs
Maintanance:-
40000km timing belt
70000km-100000km front suspension
Every 10000km sensor checkup+tuning(A small computer attached to vehicle available in work shop does that)
15000km spark plug
10000km oil filter
5000km oil(Caltex Havoline formula 1--buy from I-9 whole sellers market)
10000km feul filter periodic checkup
10000km airfilter(clean airfilter weekly for better feul performance)
Sensors
IAC ----to control RPM of vehicle located near feul injector
VSS ----To control rpm/feul injection when vehicle speeds up or slows down loacated in between speed meter cable(Cover this with silicone so that no water should enter it)
p.Unit ----gives power to coil,plugs,ecm,injector when vehicle starts located in the car distributor(Cover this with plastic during service)
ECM ----Main Computer unit of car Located behind plastic covering near accelerator pedal(Keep the antenna hole closed as water entering through this opening inside the car can enter ecm and short circuit can occur{New Ecm Rs.25000/- second hand 7000-8000/-})
Feul Injector--- To provide feul to engine located under the air filter
Feul Pump ---Supplies feul from tank to injector located under rear passenger seat
