  1. Hi All, Recently I saw an advertisement for this car, Suzuki IGNIS 2016. But couldn't find any new Q&A about this car on this forum. Does anybody have experience with this car? And how about the spare parts availability and reliability of this vehicle? Thanks
  2. I'm having with my Toyota Axio 2015. Whenever I hit the brakes, my car unexpectedly forces backward, making driving in stop-and-go traffic incredibly annoying and inconvenient. I haven't been able to get my car serviced for about a year cuz I've been aboard. The brakes are seem to be working okay, but I think the issue lies with the air pump or vacuum system related to the brakes. It's like the brake booster or vacuum system might be acting up, causing this backward force when I try to stop. Is it might be ABS issue? Does anyone have an idea? Thanks.
  3. Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and I'm about to purchase my first car for home use. Cars that I'm interested in are Toyota Corolla 121 and Toyota Aqua 2013 or higher. This may sound bizzare. I'll explain why these are the models that I am going back and forth. Reasons troubling me to make a decision are, - Kind of want to go for a newer hybrid car ( not a very logical reason. I know that but I just like that ☺️ ) - Aqua is a smaller car but space is limited compared to 121 - Aqua's milage is better since it is a hybrid - We have 5 members in the home, therefore it is easier to fit in a 121 than an Aqua, and with the ground clearance between the two 121 is better for that - 121 is more spacious than Aqua and can carry up to 6 people without any problem - Some are saying that Hybrid batteries and ABS systems are giving some issues and for replacement, it would cost high ( I know I should bear the costs that comes with any car ☹️ ) - I have driven a 121 for about a year and I know the comfort and the issues I could face with this car Usage * Car will be for home use * Most probably it will be parked during weekdays * For a single weekend there's a good chance I will cover around 250km * I am from Kandy, so mostly I'm going on hilly terrains * There is some luggage I'm carrying around, but not heavy and can fit into both cars * When traveling not always 5 of us are traveling. Mostly 2 or 4 of us will I know these two cars are completely different from one another for comparison. But, my liking is between these two. Can anyone help me to make the decision on which car should I go for? Mentioned reasons are the ones troubling me. Thank You!!
  4. My toyota axio hybrid 2018 car key doesn't lock or unlock the car but it detects the key when I touch the handle it unlocks the car also I'm able to start car, I'm unable to lock/unlock the car with the smart key buttons. Both smart key battery & 12 V are new.
  5. Does anyone know what this message means?
  6. Hello! Hope you’re all keeping safe! Yesterday I was driving my moms HT32 XTrail which has 81k kms on it and while driving downhill at the Pita Kotte junction, I felt the usual EV-Petrol shift jerk, a bit intensified and the vehicle started vibrating a bit. Like the engine was sputtering, sort of. And so my obvious reaction was to stop the vehicle. It was then that I realised that the Engine had shut off. I tried restarting the engine and it did, but when I shifted the gear to try and drive it to the side of the road, the engine turned off again. By then the Engine Check light, ESP, Brake Warning and Master Caution lights were illuminating on the dash. I somehow managed to push the car to a side and park it by the side of the road but unfortunately was not able to find any mechanics to diagnose the issue. So I had to tow it back home. Can anyone here please give me any credible information regarding this? I’m quite sure it’s the infamous gearbox issue that played up, and I’m sure it has something fishy to do with the apparent “gearbox replacement” that was done in June of 2020 by Sterling Aftercare. Can anyone give me any advice as to how I should proceed from here on please? Thank you! Hope you all have a much pleasant Sunday than I am having!
  7. My engine oil was 0w20 which come for 10,000 km and fully synthetic. With travel restrictions usage of car is reduced. This has lead oil change happens once per year. Is this ok? If I need to move to 5,000km mileage oil then what's the most suitable option? Is it recommended? Mazda agent in Sri Lanka, C#lonial M#tors use 5w30 oil for Mazda Axela Hybrid. They do not have 0w20 which usually comes for 10,000 km mileage.

  9. Hey all, I am looking on to buy a Mazda 3 or a Mazda 6 Skyactive car which is above 2014. Looked in the classified sites and most of them appears to be overpriced despite them being Low market ones (Compared to Toyota) in SL. Do you people have any idea about how much these would be worthy of buying? Are these vehicles recommended for the respective prices. If not what are the alternatives that I have. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Prime
  10. Dear all, I'll be grateful if you can share your experience of the 2010 Honda Civic 2010 FD3 (Hybrid) Vehicle. I searched the forum but had very little luck of previous posts. I would like to know about general information on Hybrid performance, comfortability and maintenance. At the moment my budget is only sufficient for a 2012 Aqua, Honda 2012 P5 or the above mentioned Civic. I prefer hybrids because fuel cost is a main concern for me followed by comfort. TIA for all your suggestions and comments.
  11. Which one is best to buy 50-55lks allion 2012 or axio hybrid G grade 2016 allion already done 70-80k km and axio done 40km which ona is more valuable for that price normally my monthly route is around 1000-1250km
  12. Hello Peeps, One of my friend is going to buy a used hybrid (2013) & got this hybrid battery report. Actually we are clueless what it says. We are more than grateful if any one could shed some light on this. TIA
  13. Hii All, My friend has a Toyota Axio Hybrid (2013) and he is facing a strange problem recently. Here how it works. The car throws and Error code P 3190 (Low Engine Power) P0A0F (Engine Fail to Start). We tried what the internet has recommended but failed to resolve the problem. Changed the fuel pump as most of them as pointed this as the main culprit. Changed the plugs coil pack no luck. Then we noticed that a considerable amount of smoke comes out of the dip stick and the oil filler. Engine has a big vibration a rattle. Thought it might be under-compression but there were no signed of fouled plugs. Appreciate if anyone can give an idea to look what sort of things to look out as most recommend an engine replacement but we still think it could be an easier fix but only thing is we do not know what to look for. So Thank you all in advance hope to hear you ideas.
  14. Lets talk about Where you did the cell change, How long did the repair last and if its worth doing the cell change in the first place. Thanks guys! Cheers
  15. Dear all I'm looking for a suv for daily 200km drive, fuel economy and comfort matters. I'll be driving up and down to kandy from colombo. Any suggestions? Here are some options I've figured considering current market prices for my available budget.(5mil) Nissan X tail hybrid 2015 KIA Sorento Diesel 2011 Hyundai Santa fe 2010 SSang yong rexton 2009 Please give your suggestions.
  16. Hello guys , I'm having an issue with the hybrid battery of my Aqua 2012. According to the scan report battery needs to be replaced, and technician does not recommend to replace the cells. I'm thinking of replacing with a reconditioned battery preferably 2017 made. I would appreciate if you can share any reliable place to do so. Further, very much like your advices on the matter. Is the technician correct ? What would be the price range ? Any side effects in replacing with a uses battery..? Thanks guys.
  17. Please see the attachment. When I try to start the car it shows like that and after I push the brake it all goes off again. What is the issue?
  18. Guys, I am planning to upgrade from my manual EK3, and am looking at buying an aqua, as it suits my budget and other requirements. My biggest concern is the battery. There are some adds saying battery 100% and some saying battery has been replaced. How should I check the battery? Is it a big concern? Anything else to check when buying a used hybrid vehicle? I would value other recommendations as well. Although I would prefer a manual, I have to settle for an auto due to family concerns. Budget is 3 - 3.5M. Prefer a sedan, but a hatch with reasonable space is OK, but prefer to avoid very small ones like the wagonR, etc. Will be driving mostly on colombo city traffic, with occasional long trips. Something reliable as my wife will also be using it. I would also like to have some power under the hood and driving pleasure, but I know I might have to compromise on that due to other requirements and comittements. Fuel efficiency is not a big concern, but a good efficiency is most welcome. Resale value is also a minor concern as I will only be using it for 1.5yrs max. Appreciate if you guys could help me, as you always have!
  19. Hi guys, Bought an Axio 2014 Hybrid and I'm planning to go Kataragama which is like 250 Kms. (500 Kms up and down) Taking the highway route and going through Matara. If there's any faulty in the battery or anything will the display signal it? What should I check in the vehicle before beginning the ride? I'm new to hybrid vehicles so please help me out Thanks!

  24. Hi, I would like to get an advice on whether buying a hybrid vehicle (Vezel 2014/15 Aqua 2013/14 and FIT 2014/15) which has been used in sl for a while. Many of my friends say that all of them will be required to change the battery(most used ones have done more than 50000km). This could cost from Rs. 300k -700k. The other issue is apparently vezel has a gearbox issue that would cost approx 700k. As I see alot of these vehicles being available to buy, I am seeking advice if it is a good choice to do so. If so which model. If not any alternative that would fall below 4.3m
  25. I own a Honda Fit Hybrid car with year of manufacture as 2012(GP1). It's odometer reads 71000 km to the date. Speaking about the vehicle's history, it hasn't given me any issue till after the completion of 65000 km reading. As usual we all know that at around 40000km we need to replace the drive train oil or otherwise it gives the indication of HMMF(Honda Multi Matic Fluid) replacement. I performed the procedure when the vehicle was at 38000km mark and scanned and reset the vehicle's ECU. Since then the only replacement I have done for the vehicle was its 12V battery. Please note that almost all Honda Hybrid vehicle's doesn't have an alternator to charge the 12V battery, it is always charged from the High Voltage battery when the vehicle is started. So that if you encounter any problem with the high voltage battery, it stops charging the primary battery where the end result would be vehicle's total system failure. If you see the red battery light on in your display while you're driving it means your primary battery isn't charging form the secondary battery. First you check the fuse box for blown fuse and in most of the cases that would be the issue. Still after replacing the fuse you have to scan the ECU and reset the fault codes. If you ignore the CHECK BATTERY indication it will lead to IMA indication. There after the vehicle's ECU disconnects the High Voltage battery form the drive train for safety purposes. That is one of the ways you get the IMA indication on your vehicle. At around 60000km mark I encountered a new issue. The engine started to give a knock and the CHECK ENGINE light came on. Since it is not an issue for me to resolve I went to a professional for help. He scanned the vehicle for fault codes and informed me that there are some blockages in the fuel injectors and the engine is running lean. (Engine running lean means that the fuel injected to the chamber is ignited with excessive amount of air.) It could be either a problem with the fuel injectors or a problem with air intake. The professional informed me to go for an injector cleaning. The issue was no more after the injector cleaning process. Then came the high voltage battery overheating problem. The system scan showed that the HV battery cooling fan malfunction. We removed the battery and checked the fan separately and it worked fine. After consulting an Engineer at Honda we understood that the battery cooling fan works in 3 stages in Honda, depending on the heat produced by the battery. Due to some electronic failure in the fan driver it didn't change speeds. Therefore i had to replace the fan which cost me around 40000/= . Since then the car became even smoother to drive. The efficiency popped up to 20-22km/l and the high voltage battery bank was at 75% of its initial capacity even after 6 years from manufacture. If you have any information about the problems like this and their fixes I am keen to learn.
