'91 LC80 ABS & Check Engine Light on

[sardarg]

last couple of refills (on hi-octane exclusively) i have been getting 3.8 KMPL!

try the shell owned station use SHELL Super (GREEN) petrol for next tank top up. - private owned Total & PSO stations are selling iranian mixed petrol from gawader to gilgit without any check.

[wali.sheikh]

sir I was under the impression that hi-octane would help clean the engine as I had heard some infrequent knocking. but noted!

[wali.sheikh]

unfortunately i am bound to only PSO due to corporate card. the 80-liter tank is beyond my means if paid through own pocket!

mostly those pumps selling mixed fuels which are close to the border where transportation is accessible.

here in Lahore, if someone will bring the iranian fuel, i believe it would cost him alot.

Generally here in Lahore the good fuels are considered as from PSO or Shell. But i heard that Shell is leaving PK very soon or have already left.

Actually majority of people including me too was believer of the same. However since zulfiqar has explained it well in other thread, since then my thoughts about hi-octane changed too.
i will try to search if i can find that thread.

Yea, IIRC they sold their stakes. The new group will probably operate under the same brand, meh !

[pwuser166331039855]

But lets see if they still deliver & maintain the same (good) quality fuels too (under new management).

[sohikun]

Yea bro ; only time will tell.

It’s a wrap; Shell Pakistan has a buyer  - Profit by Pakistan Today

who exactly is Wafi Energy? A wholly-owned subsidiary of Asyad Holding Group, Wafi Energy is a fuel retailer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The company already enjoys a collaborative relationship with Shell, having signed a license agreement to operate mobility sites under the Shell brand within the kingdom.

PSO, Khayaban e Ittehad is company operated. Have been filling up for past 12 yrs. Go with eye closed

1 FZ FE is not that rare. Yes it's a fuel guzzller but when you sit behind a well cared for 1 FZFE, you will forget diesels TInTin Baba. The bloody low end torque, pick up and silence is another level, savvy?

[consigliori]

No doubt. He is in a class of his own. But don't underestimate Irshad, he has impressed me like wow, and I have visited a lot of the top tier in KHI. He might be a little unassuming but that has absolutely no bearing on his abilities as a professional.....
Rest Osama @syncview is definitely "exceptional".

[sohikun]

You know what's more exceptional? Those mechanics in montgomery road, charas in one hand and cigar in other.

Customer : sar ji gadi nhi chal di pye.

Mechanic : Opens bonnet, ohhh hoo sar ji aaa wekhoo, ainjin bhaap mar rha haay. Oyall filter bhi kharab haay, kompani ka jinyin dalegah.

Customer : OK, kerdo ustaad ji. Both smoke charas and cigarette together.

Mechanic in montgomery ki bhi puri aik life cycle hoti hai !! Pahle yeh log shagird hote hain, uske bad ustad bante hain, Uske bad ustadyan dikhate hain. Meh !

[pwuser166331039855]

Sir, its true that 1FZ is powerful & strong. But generally Toyota keeps changing their engines every after few years. So my meaning was newer models of such/similar engines were introduced.

Examples
M series engines were replaced by JZ series. And later JZ series replaced by GR series engines.
HZ replaced by HD. And HD replaced by VD.
UZ was replaced with UR
Etc.

Well generally I guess if Toyota also had introduced 1UZ engine (V8, 4000cc) in 80s LC, then majority would have preferred to buy it instead of 1FZ. Because of clear reason of fuel consumption.

You should visit some local experienced mechanic and source the parts from such vendor who give some kind of guarantee.
Your work will be done in quarter of the quoted amount and in less time

Those soo called "experienced" mechanics are dumbas*** !! Sir sorry, but ye logh operation karke pori ghari ko frankenstein bana ke chor dete hain. Pora ghusal de kar gaari ko ICU bhej dete hain & then they say " saar ji aa gadi khillar gayi hai".

[wali.sheikh]

My car is now in the trusted hands of Osama aka Syncview sahib. Looking forward to the result!

Having experienced both a diesel 80 and a petrol, I would never go with a HDT again, it just gives too much trouble. The fuel pump and the Turbo both give trouble fairly regularly.

but I must say the 1FZ, though mostly trouble free, lacks the power we've come to being used to in modern cars. most americans have swapped out the 1FZ for LS3s that deliver much better torque! I believe some day, though the day is not near, I would also consider a V8 into my 80.

[sameerulhaq064]

Most HDs in Pakistan suffer from poorly serviced diesel pumps. Once done correctly the car becomes a treat to drive

[dayrider]

HZ replaced by HD

1 hz is still produced today. 1 hd got changed into 1hdfte in 94

The bloody low end torque, pick up an

Doesn't even come close to the low end torque and pick of a proper 1hd. Silence, yes, its silent
