as per my observation all the electrical connectors have their own tight water sealing.but its better not to use pressure wash as water can seep inside and short the contacts of sensors. causing damage to sensor or ecu.i remember i was washing a suzuki alto vxr 1000cc. soon after the pressure wash in the engine bay the stater motor relay switch shorted and the car engaged the self while ignition switch was turned off. thank goodness it was in neutral.

I bought Vitz 2013 in year 2014. Till date never washed the engine and will never do in future.

Only dry cleaning, using engine foam cleaner and using high pressure blower.

Got it at 9000 KM driven almost brand new through my friend in Japan who Is working there for the past 27 years. Since I have purchased this car, only air filter replacement, oil change have been done.

Also, installed 17” alloy wheels later. Non of the mechanics have touched any thing till date except engine oil changes. Does 21 Km in one liter on highways with AC, acceleration is excellent like a brand new car.

What is the current odo on this beauty?

[imrananr]

Very little driven as I am mostly traveling. It’s only 14,000 on the ODO.

The rims are original Enkei, GTC 01. Also installed brand new tail lights of Vitz RS/G’s sent from Japan.

[zaighamz]

Well that explains it ...
The daily drivers can't be in that pristine condition, and usually they get very dirty inside.

[imrananr]

I agree with you. The point here is never wash the engine or engine bay with water. Carry out dry cleaning, air blowing....and it can be done if tried.

Will try sending photos of engine bay. Currently, i am not in the country and these are old photos.

What would be a good battery for passo 2013, non eco-idle, all stock. Looking for a dry battery this time. Price and place (from where to get it in lahore) would be appreciated. Also what is recommended amperage?
@imrananr @hash4u @tintin1

[imrananr]

Send me the chassis number and let me do some research.

[qasim.raza.98229]

Sent!

[imrananr]

Well, the following is you battery type:

M-42

You should install a battery with 38 AH rating or close to this.

You car details are is under:

GRADE: X: X TYPE DESTINATION: JPN: JAPAN ENGINE: 1KRFE: 1000CC 12-VALVE DOHC EFI COLOR CODE: P12 TRIM CODE: FD40

Year of Manufacture is 10/2013

For me, I like AGS batteries which are not maintenance free batteries and you have to maintain the acid level. The life is more than a maintenance free battery.

You can check any good brand offering close to or 38 AH battery for your car. Ensure that the terminal size (diameter) is as per your cable clamps. Cable clamps should be of lead and not brass or some other material.

Also ensure that the battery size is as per requirements of your battery casing/clamping arrangement. That is width, length and height.

[imrananr]

How about AGS GL48.

It’s 38 AH. Check polarity of terminals before you purchase, that it suits to your installation requirements.

[qasim.raza.98229]

Hmm! Thanks alot for the help! I will keep all these things in mind when purchasing battery. I'm more inclined towards hankook dry battery as heard good reviews about it but will also look for AGS battery.

The first one is what i was looking at.
Inshallah will visit some battery shops in mozang lahore and try if i can get it cheaper than this.
By the way, any know how about daewoo batteries?

[imrananr]

Hankook seems like a good brand. Never used it so cannot comment on it. Is it the Korean brand imported or manufactured in Pakistan?

[umarmuslim]

Yes its good

Seen it installed in cars that we imported from Japan.

Including Prius

[qasim.raza.98229]

Yup korean import to pakistan

Assalamualikum to Passo Fans
Can you plz help me to decide Passo 2015 fresh import 4.5 vs Cults 2018 new.

the reason to post here is that all of you know Passo more than any one else, i hope everyone will share the true pic of passo in all aspects(pros and cons)

Thanks in advance

[umarmuslim]

Honestly

I think Passo shud be preferred

Not saying this bcz this is a Passo Thread but

Passo will offer

Better Safety
Better Fuel Efficiency
More Features & Comfort
Maintenance isnt Diff.
Resale isnt much of an issue

Above points r neutral observations and I dont think any1 wud disagree

As for the point Cultus is new
I think any1 prefers a slightly used Branded smartphone to a chinese brand.

This case is quite similiar.

Go for a Passo XG or XL Package, atleast 4 or preferably 4.5 Grade Car with under 25,000 kms.

Itll look, feel & drive like a new car.

Low mileage cars condition is usually like new.

Wassalaam
