FAW V2 Owner's Review

[shaidbokhari]

Thanks for the detail reply @basitali87. Can any body confirm qty of oil required as yesterday a shell pump guy was saying it requires 3ltr.
2ndky can any one share user manual, and repair guide or any other such thing.

[talhabinomar]

I think the quantity required is around 3.2 Litres.
As I have Toyota Vitz 2009 model 1.3L engine swapped in it and I pour 3.2 Litres in it

[shaidbokhari]

One of my tyre got a cut. Don't know when nd how.. Now thinking to change 1 tyre. But unable to find matched one. Any idea or suggestions

[shaidbokhari]

Any suggestions?

[shaidbokhari]

Is there any shop in rawalpindi which sales spare part of faw like brakes wiper blades clutch plates etc

[adilfarid]

Always change both the tyres not just one, thats the simple rule while changing tyres.

Dear all, need ur suggestion for routine checkup, tune up, oil change
Today I visited Islamabad Motors, authorised dealer faw in I9.
They asked for
3000 oil 4 ltr Mobil 10w
1110 oil filter
950 air filter
5000 front disk pad
3000 back brakes
And most interesting 7500 for just oil change and tune-up which includes computer scan, throttle body clearance and spark plug clearance.
Need reviews from all users, what are they practicing.

[ipkiji]

Rates not seem correct
Oil is OK but price is not OK, it is written on the can , I think near 2500
Oil filter is maximum for 400
Air filter maximum for 600
Brake pads if not worn out then why changing?
General check up price is also not ok, it should be max 1000

Change your workshop

Which Mobil oil are you ppl using. The person I bought it from told me he was using 5w30 ZIC x9. It's price is around 6k.i dibt know why he was using it. Although company recommended viscosity is 15w40..
2ndly I m having 1sy gear sticking problem when car is cold on till 20 min after start. Gradually it disappears.
3rd I am hearing a steering noise,in bumps, like steering rod needs some new bushes.
I bought oil filter for 390,nd air filter for 700 from imran auto. Brand is leepon I think.
Not finalized about oil yet. Need ur help and suggestions

I think, 10w-30 / 10w-40 are very balanced engine oil grades for this ride.

15w-40 might be quite thick.

If I would own FAW V2 now, I would pour 5w-30 in it.

[fastian04]

Its a vitz engine
.bo other than 5w-30.
Faw dealership Service are pathetic so far

[fastian04]

Company has hired road side idiots with toolboxes to experiment on customer rides. 15w-40 is just wrong for a vitz engine

[arezwan]

In my case Lahore dealership suggested me that I can buy 5 30 from outside they will pour it. Sgd dealership pouring Zic A+ from the start.

[anon35615524]

Then it would be great!

In 5w-30, Total Quartz 9000 Future series 5w-30 all the way!

[arezwan]

true, I am pouring total 9000 future series in my both xli, faw v2.

[anon35615524]

That's wonderful and Great!

Just always change oil + oil filter after regular intervals, and do not drag engine oil more than 5,000 Kms.
