Cuore Automatic Maintenance Schedule

he opened the airbox with care.

thank you @nnabeel -- gotta work on this bit.

[Xulfiqar]

you can clean the drain line by blowing some air into it.

The only way to clean the evaporator in place is with some expanding foam products, In USA we use

https://www.lubegard.com/products/koolit-evap-cleaner/

This product expands 20 times and gets into the evaporator fins, it then pushes out all junk and then finally liquifies as it settles down - we then run the AC and the sweating of the evaporator washes everything away.

Similar products are used in food and beverage coolers in Pakistan, ask larger cos. who service supermarket meat chillers and display freezers, they will have similar products.

We use this too

if we can get a good aim at the evap - or just reuse the head of the koolit spray can. Viper is more powerful but takes longer to work.

[geek.maan]

Aaaa... Nice nice ... Thats sounds goood 🤟 will be trying that.

[Xulfiqar]

Company fill gas is special?

[geek.maan]

so i ran into a few similar online options here in Pakistan not sure about the quality though!

but they are more like general sprays for removing odor and bacteria stuff etc .. not really some foamy type

[nnabeel]

HAHHAHAHA, Not really but it is a satisfaction of mind.

Waisey hamarey han china ki gas, japan ki gas aur pata nahee kon kon si gas fill ker detey hain:)
us se bachne k lye. Aur phir if the cooling is chilled and everything is good, then why hassle.

[Xulfiqar]

any R134a sold is ok as long it has the right material number. The only factor to ensure is that you vacuum the system with a vacuum pump.

[Xulfiqar]

These are not the same, they are for killing odour, I use hospital spray for that, stinks for 4 hours then dissipates.

The foam spray is what cleans evaporator coils to brand new shiny finish.

[geek.maan]

indeed, i will try finding one locally in Islamabad .. thank you!

The car stopped as soon as there was knee deep water. For my old cultus, this was amateur level water; the car kept running until the engine bay and interior were fully flooded.
Anyhow, it started as soon as mechanic fiddled around and rest you can see above how much water it was squirting. Cost me my clothes and torn chappal.

[omersiddiqui5482]

@muhammad.irtiza dear you should thank god your car has survived very well. i have seen many with jammed clutches and gearboxes and flooded engines.
But one thing shocked me. while i was returning home on Monday evening during the heavy rain even in the newer Honda City i was in had to struggle a bit but this 74 Corolla was like a rocket ship. i should mention that Korangi Expressway going towards Shaheed e Milat was representing a river:

[geek.maan]

woah! that's more like a water jet .. lol

[sleeper]

You are lucky man
.
Here's what i did and do nornally in case of flooded roads.....always stop on side of road and watch few cars moving through the deep water ahead...check how close water level is from their exhaust pipes....if it's above, forget it...it its below or same level, continue fwd and stop few secs untill u hv some distance from the car ahead of you, then go through it with a constant speed at least 20kph on 1st gear.....do not stop at all whatevr happens....if the car in front stalls, u have some space, go past it increasing ur speed further....when u cross the flood, drive slow and heat up ur brakes with left foot to get back its effectiveness, when its good, continue ur drive
.
This applies if you have cars other than Suzuki or the Corolla (aka ship) that omer mentioned.....cause they never stall so easy like ur cultus and my cultus yesterday too ....our mehran also went through pool high enough that water entered inside car till pedal height but it never stalled

[geek.maan]

..and so this Friday i got these for 5500 (delivered from Lahore) 🤪 ... 6 months replacement warranty from Agri Autos. ... they didn't have any manufacturing date on them, however the dealer said warranty starts from youe invoice date

Front Shocks without springs & top housing.

Gonna get them installed soon. 🤟 InshaAllah

[geek.maan]

Installed those yesterday and the drive just got so amazing and smooth that I can't stop driving it around Alhamdulillah. After Eid days, I will be looking at the replacements of old/cracked rubbers/bushes of whole front and everything will get hopefully get even smoother.

Also, I shall be looking at some poshish too, will be contacting the guys mentioned by Sir @dayrider and still no luck finding foam cleaner as guided by Sir @Xulfiqar.

@dani_kk bro, you do seats/poshish work at your place too? since for me D-12 will be easier.
How is your cuore @muhammad.irtiza?

Also, anyone knows about how to restore/clean the inner chrome/reflectors in the headlights?

[muhammad.irtiza]

How is your cuore @muhammad.irtiza?

At the dealer's lot since a week on consignment. Seems like a long time though since I drove the car. Miss it every single day.

[Xulfiqar]

Are these the whole thing or the cartridge that is installed in the strut housing?

[dani_kk]

Yes exactly, we have all services available. And we've our poshish guy and seats are transported and you can wait at our place or pick the car at evening from us with reinstalled seats.

[geek.maan]

It is the cartridge (a.k.a 'botal') with its housing. .. without spring and (top) foundation.

[geek.maan]

Sweet ..i will get in touch soon
