I have ek wagon 2012 model using since 2 years. I want to share my experience
Fuel avg
13/litter with ac in karachi
15.5/litter with out ac in karachi city
On highway from karachi to lahore 17/litter on ac
I travelled from karachi to lahore and was unable to get maximum speed more then 90km/hr
Can any body tell me how much speed you achieved during driving?
Well, I was feeling that car engine was feeling two much pressure, but low speed and very low pic
So I went to faw motors Queens road for tuning of my car as it was my first tuning since i have purchased car, but i regularly change my engine oil
In faw show room they check my car and told me that "silencer main mitti phasi hay isy nikalna hay" and your car is need to be tuned.
They replaced air filter, plugs and did tapped settings. They also removed that " miti" by using screw drive like drill machine before the silencer joint below the engine near ac pipline and gas filling junction and you know what was that? It was catalytic convertor
They stole it's core material like ceramic but according to my research it contains platinum and rohidum matel that is very expensive and they will sell it
Result,
Car is running fine and smooth, pic is very good and i travelled to islamabad on motorway and it gives me 16/litter with ac and i got maximum speed 110 with ac
I travelled to murree also and i got max 20 to 30km/hr on sharp ramps when gear is on 2 and 3 but still managed to reach murree and ayubia with 2 persons, while on normal ramp 40km to 50km . Can any body tell me is it fine?
After 1 day of tuning i asked from faw motors ustad that why he removed my catalytic convertor he told me that it was choked and you have to get new or used one from bilal gung lahore and shair shah karachi
