Toyota Corolla E170 11th Gen Facelift In Pakistan

Engine oil reduction means likely worn piston rings....
Black smoke indicates a probable spark plugs or ignition system issue.... Whats ur engines running??

I think problem is not with the CATCON. Rather you need to get these problems fixed to save ur CATCON from clogging....

So what do you recommend i took it to a mechanic and he said tuning would do the trick but it didnt affect the condition.

[saad.salman345]

Ok. In camera, they are not looking bright

[kingrifai]

whats ur car's odo reading?

Get it diagnosed from a known good dealership. When diagnosed its upto u if u get it fixed from mkt or the dealership as dealership charges more....

Or

Try to consult other good mechanics in the market.

Where do you live? Members on the forum can recommend u a good Corolla mechanic.

What do you suggest for fabric seats? My car is old but it still has factory plastic wrapping allover on most seats, some have been ripped and somehow I've noticed a slight color change in fabric, going dull or a little darker than the rest. What product do you recommend for fabric seats?

Also, my car is usually parked under the sun for 3 hours during work. I'm afraid the dashboard material, -- whatever it is -- might crack sooner or later. What product do you suggest to protect it from the sun?

I have heard some people using Carpro Pearl for their interior cleaning, should I go for that as well?

Plz, shed some light. Thanks in advance.

@fastian04 any suggestions brother? TY.

[fastian04]

For dashboard use PERL 1:5 on all interior plastics and dashboard. For seats, if its stains, use multiclean or any other apc ..ratio 1:10. ..use on a lower seat area first . please share pics...if it's permanent discoloration then u really cant do anything

[paladin]

What's the price of PERL any ideas? Also, how do I clean the mats, those are the factory ones, they are an absolute dirt magnet 🧲 do you clean your carpet with a damp cloth or vacuum clean it? I think VC is better, but I have to get it first. Thanks.

Fastian04 has described it well. When parking in sun stick on silver shields on both front and rear glass and shades/curtains on windows and leave the windows a bit open to let the heat escape. That's how I keep my cars temperature in control and save it from sunlight, because it is parked under sun all day.

[fastian04]

Perl is around 3000-3500 for 500ml..good for 2-3 years easily. For carpet i always used vacuum cleaner ..dry only. Also i use 3d mats over factory ones and they pretty much keep the dust in their boundry.. if ur carpet has stains, u can use turtle.upholstry and carpet cleaner. It has brush on it and is effective on carpet... I'm nit sure about price since i used it last time in my swift back in 2014./, When i brought a bakra in it

[Arsl984]

U use both these products or one . If both then y ?

[fastian04]

Both...i clean using cg cleaner for cleaning..and then condition with collinite 855. Although collinite claims cleaning but stains caused by jeans need proper cleaner where cg shines. Agitate with horse hair brush..and lush seats after conditioning. Collinite keeps them supple

[fastian04]

Anyone has idea about max Motorsports. They are well known and claim serious hp gains with their custom tuning. Any idea if the claims are for real?

@Xulfiqar. Any feedback? Or is it even possible?? They claim to tune at ecu level

[fastian04]

I m talking about this shit...this is crazy...even if we ignore air resistance...

[paladin]

Wait, there has been a lock in the speed? I never knew that.

[fastian04]

If u turn traction off in Grande, it goes over 200 comfortably..but this is 240...may be improved throttle response but question is how?? Any expert comments needed.

@Xulfiqar @haseeb.basharat. Anyone tried???

[hasham2408]

are you talking about top speed or acceleration. if top speed than yes grande is faster than the cars stated because they are locked at 180. but if you are talking acceleration then i can confirm that grande not faster than vezel. i can tell you that from personal experience having owner both for the past 2 years.

[hasham2408]

i think this one might be modified by max power.

[fastian04]

Electric motor has serious pick..but vezel nhn sir. I have seen prius doing well but vezel ko to sath bhi nhn lagnay deta koi..i have seen on motorways. I think grande driver will be on weed..
