Third Generation Toyota Vitz Guide

Is it vitz engine noise a bit high?

[rajaatta]

Yes new gen vitz engines has rattling and roaring noise to entertain the user.

Xulfiqar sahib has the explanation of shaking a tin box with 6 metal balls in it. It produces same noise when 0w20 oil is used in it.

[rajaatta]

Some ustaaadsss in the beginning has misconfused this noise with worn off crank shaft bearing noise and had disassemble a lot of engines and found nothing.

@rajaahmed96 thanks a lot for me it was unusual.5-30 oil should be used? And plz recommend the brand also

[hamza_xeg]

I am unable to find total quartz 5w-30 in my area. Any idea where should i get it online ?

[Thinking]

try total pump.

[hamza_xeg]

There is one total pump a bit far away from where i live but will give that a go.

[Thinking]

which city r u in?

You can search the net for the distributor list of Total in your city as well.

[hamza_xeg]

I am in Abbottabad. I looked it up, there is one right near the entrance of abbottabad if you are coming from isb. Will pay them a visit but a member said the price with wholesalers is about 1k less then normal.

Tires for my ride:

I bought tires from HS Traders, Saadi Road (Near Kashmir Road), Rawalpindi Saddar, however, what actually happened? It turned out to be a Nightmare!

## I URGE ALL TO NOT BUY TIRES FROM HS TRADERS, IF YOU ARE IN SEARCH OF GENUINE IMPORT TIRES! HS TRADERS ARE ONE OF THE OFFICIAL DEALERS OF BRIDGESTONE TIRES IN RAWALPINDI, BUT STILL... ALSO SELL SMUGGLED TIRES!

(I will explain all the details in a separate thread, IN SHA ALLAH, so that everyone becomes aware. Tires are working absolutely fine, but; smuggled means smuggled! And trust once broken, can never be re-instated!)

Pics of tires:

Brand: Bridgestone
Series: Ecopia EP150
Size: 185/65/R15 88H
Speed rating: H (i.e. safe for up to speeds of 210 kmph)
Load Index: 88 (i.e. safe for up to load of 560 Kgs)
Country of origin: Indonesia
Manufacturing period: 3918 (i.e. 39th week of 2018)
Price: PKR 8500 / Tire (PKR 34,000 for 04 tires)

Pic of invoice:

Pics of Shop:

Did he sell you smuggled tires? you didnt mention how the trust was broken. I am looking for tires these days and your input will be a deciding factor please.

[dms664]

would 175/65R15 be any good?

Nope. As far as I think, they look like a donut. 185/65/R15 is much much better than 175/65/R15, and if talking about 175/65/R15 on 15 x 7" Lenso rims, neither will it look good, nor will it provide any good grip, handling, breaking, etc. Rim may be wider than the tire itself.

sir but 175/65/R15 is the OEM recommended size for this car, no?

Mashallah very beautiful car. But i think you are a bit down in knowledge of auction sheet and grades. Please stop spreding unknown things about grades.
Car can never be judge by a grade because it is possible that a car is perfect scratchless but a bit more driven may holds 3.5 grade so you cant say that car is not worth buying.....
If a car is quite less driven but bears a small dent in any of its panel and mostly holds RA grade then you cant say its a damaged or bad car.
So please stop judging cars by grade. Just go through sheet and read the codes.
THANKS

Hello bro @basitali87
How are you. No post since Longggg,
I hope ur car is going great.

[anon35615524]

AL HAM DU LILLAH I am fine dear. Thank you and how are you? And big bundle of thanks for your concern.

Yup, the car is going absolutely Great MA SHA ALLAH. Has clocked ~29,500 Kms and next oil change + some routine maintenance (if reqd.) is due by next week IN SHA ALLAH.

Had been extremely busy since last month in personal matters. Although regularly visited Pakwheels and also posted in some of the threads, but could not post in technical threads (as it requires caution and concentration), and also in my main thread!

I am now almost fully back and start from where I had left last month! Wait for a day or 02!

[aunabbas_90]

Righttt. Its always nice to hear from you bro
Routine Maintenence .... Alrightt greatttt.
