  1. Hi Rumesh, Could you give me a contact number of a known person do a compression test. I live in Thalahena area. but its ok if the place is within 10-15km Thanks, Ravee
  2. Rumesh , Thank you for your support on this. PCV valve was tested and working fine. Im unaware of OCV filter. Initially Toyota 10W30 was using and now he is using Lanka supper plus 40. Regards, Ravee
  3. Hi Rumesh, If it is a Leaky valve guide is there a way we can get to know without dismentaling the engine ? If he is going to rebuild from where should we buy the Engine parts. T*y*t* lanka or a place like GS A*TO. I think prices are bit cheaper compared to the T*y*t* lanka . He might sell the vehicle in a 1 years time, but he want to make sure the engine will be fine for the next buyer as well. Thank you, Ravee
  4. It is burning Oil. For 5000km it is burning about 1.5L. Also it is having a pre ignition. Probably due to carbon deposits. AS I can see there are 2 option. 1. Replace with a used engine. 2. Do a engine rebuild, which is expensive I guess. Initially engine was not burning oil at all. Later he has put engine Flush because of the pre- ignition knock.Now it has started to burn oil. Millage of the Car is 130,000km. but it may be not true. Thanks, Raveendra
  5. Hello Experts, One of my friend wanted to replace the engine of her car 121 2004 JDM. Please recommend good place to buy an engine and a good mechanic to do the engine replacement. Thanks, Ravee
  6. I think you better go for a JDM Corolla.121 variant are X , X Limited, G and G Limited. There is another variant with a 1.8L engine, model number is 122. I don't think a 1.3 Engine manual one has enough power for the 121.
  7. I had the same ignition knock issue with my 110. I took it to Mario Dias and finally he has done a clean up on the head side of the engine by putting some kind of cleaner.He said it was due to carbon build up on the head of the engine .I ran the Car for 4-5 month. But now some times I feel the same engine knock again on my Car with less pulling power. So i guess using the head cleaner thing wont solve the issue for ever.But at least you can try it out.

    Mr Sylvi, Actually Im happy with his work ,since he has solved the issue.But he has done some unnecessary things and added me extra cost.Also in the bill he has mention somethings like adjusting the Distributor measuring piston travel etc..which I believe he has not done. For cleaning the piston and head cost was 4500. But total bill was 18800. My recommendation is if you for any repair you better stay with the car and let them do the repair while you waiting. Otherwise they may charge extra cost for the things they have never done.

    Mr Sylvi, Thank you for your help on the this. I went to meet Mr Mario and he keep my Car at his place for 3 days. He start to investigate the issue by doing the Tune up and changing the Spark plug.Which I was sure the issue is not with them since I have already try them before. After that he said this issue can be due to carbon build up on the Head area of the engine.So he had a chemical to clean the head area of the engine.Once he did the clean , the problem goes away !!!. Thanks all for helping me to solve the issue.
  10. Any idea about import tax on hybrids ?

    Hi Don, Thank you for sharing me your knowledge and experience. actually im sure that the issue is from the Engine and its not something with tappet noise. The noise is the one as you said "noise that which the engine generates to let you know that you are in the wrong gear and to down shift." Actually for AE110 (5A-FE engine)Toyota recommended Denso (K16R-U11) spark plug.So I'm going to try it out. Also I haven't replace the fuel filter for years.So i need to replace that with a new filter. I have done other stuffs related to the engine tune up in June and hope they are not necessary at this moment. Thanks again for the valuable reply.

    Hi Sylvi, Actually the noise is coming even if the AC is off and if you are in L gear and when you accelerate . Also when you accelerate little bit in any gear the Taka taka noise is coming. Some times I can get rid of that noise by releasing the accelerator and again paddle it harder. FYI : Once we have get rid of the noise by retarding the Delco.But at that time pulling power was very less and then we had to advanced it again. When the engine is idling there is no special sound coming out. There is another special thing to mention about the ECU of the Car and this issue may related to this. About 1 year back I had a issue with check engine bulb.The issue was in the ECU.Electrical guy had replace one Capacitor and few burned resistors to overcome the issue. Then the issue was solved. Appreciate valuable comments ,

    Ee110 Burning Oil

    Hi Done, You are absolutely correct!!. I checked the vehicle and there was a slight oil leak from the Oil removing nut. So that issue was sorted out. I thought following issue is due to the engine under compression. But now I realize, since there is no oil burning following issue some thing different. There is another issue I have with the Distributor. I showed this to few mechanics who do engine tuneups. Even after the engine tune up the engine gives a noise (taka taka) when accelerating (The sound you here when the distributor not adjusted properly ). One guy told me this can not be stopped since the distributor have some issue. I did a tune up in June and used NGK spark plugs. One guy told me to replace the spark plug with Denso (K16R-U11) spark plug. If i use Denso spark plugs can this issue be resolved? Guys please help me to resolve this issue. Thanks, Ravi.
  16. Thanks Ripper for your Advice. Actually the noise is coming even if the AC is off and if you are in L gear. Once we have get rid of the noise by retarding the Delco.But at that time pulling power was very less and then we had to advanced it again. It will be great, If you can help me to find a good garage to find out the actual issue. FYI (I live in Rajagiriya) Thanks again, Ravi
  17. Hi Experts, I have a 97 Corolla AE110 Auto gear car. I have a issue with the Distributor timing. I showed this to few mechanics who do engine tuneups. Even after the engine tune up the engine gives a noise (taka taka) when accelerating (The sound you here when the distributor not adjusted properly ). One guy told me this can not be stopped since the distributor have some issue. Can this be due to the Distributor issue ? The Car is doing about 7.5-8 km/l in Colombo and 11-12km out station with AC. I did a tune up in June and used NGK spark plugs. One guy told me to replace the spark plug with Denso (K16R-U11) spark plug. If i use Denso spark plugs can this issue be resolved? If I need to replace the distributor please let me know the average price and a good place to buy a Recon one ? Waiting for the AL experts reply .. Thanks, Ravi

    Ee110 Burning Oil

    Hi Experts, Me too have an AE110 and the meter says 140000km.Me too experience the same engine oil burning issue.When I analyze the issue it seems when the engine run more than 3000 km after the oil change, the oil burning gets higher.My Car is doing about 11-12km/l in out station and arround 8 km/l in Colombo with A/C. Also pulling power is less some times. (This is not always). When I did the Emission test last june,they said engine out put is almost like brand new.(Note: I did the engine tune up just 2 weeks before the emission test).So if the engine is having an under compression issue can the emission test result be good as brand new. ? Will the issue can be fixed only replacing the Ring set? 1. Any idea about the cost of replacing ring set and any known person to do the job ? 2. Cost of doing the full engine over haul ? Thanks
  21. Thanks for the advice. Yes I'm planing to go for a 1500 cc. Why these export models (Xli,Lx limited and Gli( 1600cc)) are cheaper ?. Is it only due to less options or due to some other reason.DO they good at fuel ?.
  22. Hello Guys, As I can see on the road there are several models with different options on Corolla 121. G grades X grade XLI LX limited GLI AS I heard there are some different with Petrol consumption of these models.Specially G and X grade once are doing better on petrol compared to the other models. I'm planing to buy a 121. I know there are lots of 121 owners here. Please help me to figure out the difference between these models. I'm basically worrying about petrol consumption and reliability. Thanks, Ravee
