[dms664]

mine was in same condition almost. after cleaning it my car started vibration when put in d or R. i was told in another forum not to fiddle with it unnecessarily.

Fuzul pangey especially with Vitz and 1Kr Fe; Not at all recommended. Avoid unless until necessary or advised to do so.

[aunabbas_90]

Very true​
Absolutely Trendy stuff

[dms664]

if the car is not pampered ie driven like granny and gunned on highway in routine, the throttle body will never develop gunk

[imrananr]

You have got to replace air filter preferably the original OEM one when required.
Throttle body cleaning is generally required when you have issues with the fluctuations or unsuitability in RPM at idle (if because of a throttle body).

[nawan885]

I notice one thing after I took off and placed back PCV valve some time car stall for a second then I press accelerater and it disappears.. any comments from @imrananr

[dms664]

very right
recently installed oem air filter and car is like asking for more throttle and feeling very light to drive
previously it was very sluggish on the copy filter which got choked within no time

[imrananr]

Never clean a throttle body under preventive maintenance. It's not part of scheduled preventive maintenance. Not required even after 50,000 KM. Infact, never required unless their is a requirement...to do so.

But for better fuel efficiency, a MAF sensor may be cleaned every 35K to 40K.

Never clean sparkplugs for reusing. This is wrong and not part of the so called "tunning". ALWAYS REPLACE sparkplugs as per maintenance schedule. If defective, do not clean and reuse, instead replace it.

I have driven 2013 vitz 50k in Pakistan... got cat con cleaned from Toyota capital Islamabad a when odo was 80k.. nothing else done till now. Fuel avg city 14 with 30percent hilly area...on long with 3 on board in Islamabad it is 17 to 19kmpl So I agree in this regard with @imrananr not to do unnecessary service

great
which oil brand and grade u r using in ur vitz
Please also share the profile of ur tires if it is stock or upsized

[imrananr]

I will also share with you my knowledge on:
Why catalytic converter gets clogged and how to avoid this frequent clogging...

[imrananr]

In olden days, the word tunning was used, this is replaced by car service schedule given by manufacturer.
In older days, vehicle had carburetors that required cleaning and adjustment of air fuel ratio and thus the term TUNNING was in place. Now since long, we have vehicle service schedule as per odometer reading, which involves inspection and replacement...as part of preventive maintenance...
So this spark plug and throttle body cleaning is only being done in Pakistan and no other country in the world. Read your vehicle manual for maintenance schedule and you will not find any spark plug cleaning or throttle body cleaning....

so car was happy with which oil? how was the experience with 5w50? pros n cons as compared to the tin pack earlier used oils. I have to make a decision. your input will be of great help

[abart]

5w-50 isn't heavy for your low milage car?

[Muhammad.Rizwan]

Guys for 1KRF engine, always use 0w20, nothing else, always use GF-5 approved oil, pls note 0W20 can bear heat up to 200-220c, while engine operates at 100-120c.

Pls step out of old approach using think oil, smaller the engine with low compression use the thinner, bigger the engine, with high compression, use think oil even they use 0w50, try to always choose first digit 0W.

You will end up regretting after 60k or 80k millage, i had practical experience with multiple cars, rest you may ask Atta Bahi

Assalamualiekum, it would be great if anyone can guide any reasonable workshop for jdm cars maintenance in lahore?

Toyota Dealership is Good for most of the works like Transmission oil change regular maintenance. But for some odd jobs you have to go to your street mechanic. Depends on the nature of work. Or you can DIY. Dealership is expensive on parts but hope fully they are not Chinies as our car parts market is overflowing with sub-standard spare parts.
