@testdriver:
i think above discusion is in respect of the origional AC compressor.
What if a sanden compressor is installed in daewoo, means what would be the sequence/pattern of wiring to get the same pattern of signal origination when AC is on. Thanks

Here it goes!

Well 90% chances are that IAC valve placed in ur car is the one removed from my car because i gave it to him for his purpose. Again I suggest to buy new one and not teh kabli one. I have installed new one boghtf rpom korea autos and till now its working fine. No use of adjusting.

@guybwp: (are u from bahawalpur).

its not only the Murtaza who is saying not to install advancer, here goes the list:

Lahore:
Murtaza.
Zafar Iqbal
Butt Sb

RWP/IBD:

Moon
Faqeer Hussain
Mian Khan
Even CNG mechanics

Actaually they speak such according to their knowledge , so we should also use our level of knowledge while receiving their advices, otherwise we will be ..........

1. I think that you might be facing the same situation which i faced last year.

I went to Mr Attahr mechanic at islamabad for tunning which he did and car started emitting a little white smoke. He gave me his fatwa that engine is week. i told him that this engine was overhauled just a few months back so how this engine can be week now. Then his son gave me another idea to check the oil quality. i was using caltex at that time.
At the same spot i met a pakwheeler Saqib who gave me detailed info about oil grading number and its qualities.

After coming back to lahore i made a research on the availabel oils and started using kixx engine oil 10w40 and smoke vanished. Means these shell/hell and caltex companies and are selling v. bad oil at the price of nice oil grades. Particularly shell is a hell for me (for mineral oils).

now again i have shifted to petmin 10w40 and its really marvellous (5000km is nothing for it) . frequent shifting of engine oils is also not good for engine, but sometimes we have to do it to get the best one in economical range.

2. Same like you, i got suspicion that car is reducing oil as oil gauge was showing very varying oil levels at diff times. So i asked my mechanic to get out all engine oil in a clean dish and check its quantity.
Quantiity was all ok and actaully the gauge was culprit.
So you can check your problem this way also, if you like.

Sir you are right about the culprit oil... I am going to change the same... same problem was discussed by me friend using Daewoo since 11 years... So it means bye bye Caltex and Shell forever

Secondly I have checked oil in Morning today and what happened was awsome... Oil is upto the mark... I dont know why it showed me less yesterday... keeping in view the level of CAR and Engine was rested since Night... I am speechless... but your Oil gauge idea hit me very hard... am going to rectify these things for sure... Thank you Shah G

daewoo is indeed a very nice car! I m very much a fan of it! All my uncles had it as they purchased 3 of these together when they landed in PK. We also owned one but only for a brief period of 6 hours as it was destroyed while unloading it from the carrier:-(

Thanks goodness the speed cameras up at the motorway are not made by Suzuki or, they would even fine a 2CV for overspeeding

what should be the problem? should i add gear oil on transmission?

Q: Do you fully depress the clutch while changing gears?
A: Press the clutch to the metal(firewall) and try changing gears.

Q: Does the sound come when the transmission is cold?
A: Check for the quality and quantity of oil. change/refill if necessary.

Q: The above two does not help?
A: It may be some internal problem with the second gear likely to be the synchronizer , dog teeth or broken gear tooth. Take your car to qualified personnel for physical inspection.

Salam to all, i m new to daewoo racer and really amazed by its performance in this cost...
i really appreciate the efforts of experts and especially the testdriver who is really doing a wonderful job by helping ppl... thanks a lot testdriver...
i have few questions from the experts that might have been answered in the previous posts and i am unable to search them...
1. what is the normal postion of engine temp guage? in other cars it normaly goes to center when the engine gets to normal temp, and there on the cooling system gets activated and keeps the needle there. But in daewoo, what mechanics say is that it should stay in white and nothing above... middle portion of the guage is the last thing which u should see and immidiately take some corrective measures... is this thing logical?
2. why i m asking this question is tht my daewoo's engine got damaged by overheating and the needle never crossed the middle portion of the guage... i have recently got it overhauled...:(:(.. now the car is heating up on AC in local... the behaviour is erratic.. sometimes it never crosses white portion in 40 deg temp in sun.. and sometimes it gets heated up in relatively cooler temp in night...fan in working fine at a good speed i guess.. radiator has no leak and doesnt require frequent coolant refills...
mechanic khalid from frnds autos says that the radiator has some problem as he has checked it by removing the water tank and says that 10 out of 32 lines are blocked... better change the radiator... is it really due to radiator? imean the erratic behaviour?
moreover he says that this car(all daewoos) wil heat up in summer days and local drives... is it normal? coz the normal cars dont do...
is there any possibility of faulty guage? howcan i check that? the fan is direct... which i think is not a good thing for a normal car... but u experts know it better...
thnx in advance:)

Thanks for the nice words!
First of all I want to tell you that Khalid is basically an electrician so change your MECHANIC first.
As far as the gauge is concerned, it should stay in the middle and the fan should start just a little above center. The white area depicts a cold engine not attained optimum temperature. Ask Khalid (being an electrician) to install a 47ohm resistance in series and remove any existing resistance in the temp signal wire to resolve the gauge reading issue.
For radiator get a second opinion from other mechanic. I recommend to contact TAHIR at G-8 @03335613924

[umerpk]

thnx for the quick reply... if everything is in place and working fine, does it get heated up in summers with AC in frequent stops?? like driving in rush? i m asking it becoz if it is like this than i should demand the same thing from mechanic... and thnx, i will contact this mechanic soon...

Assalam-o-alaikum to all daewoo lovers

i am going to buy first car in my life. I prefer daewoo but most of the people forbid me to do this. Due to dead market of the daewoo brand. Kindly guide me about the merits & de-merits of daewoo cars.

Off-course every car does heat up (within normal range but quicker than without AC) in the situation stated above. The actual dangerous heat up range is where the red portion of the gauge starts. If the radiator system is weak, the temperature will very quickly rise as the amount of heat produced is more than the amount of heat released/exchanged in the air and there can be a dangerous situation of actual heat-up.
