Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 2 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

I was watching a Yangwang U8 struggling to make it up a muddy hill on Youtube. I was wondering why cant an EV be more capable off road than an ICE vehicle. Given the fact that this behemoth has 4 individual motor on each wheel it should be able to direct power to the wheel that has more grip and stop power to the slipping wheel. Cant be rocket science right?· 3 replies

I woke up one day and I now want to buy a W140. The brain works in mysterious ways. It definitely doesn't understand the concept of money since I am nowhere near affording one.· 2 replies

Question

Dear Experts,
So much stuff I have learnt from you guys browsing though old threads so far, but this exact issue I had to ask since I found the existing as bit deviated from my car's problem.
This is a dual vvti engine allion and when I bought it few days back I took it to TL Maharagama to do a full inspection. But they were all booked (saw an ad later that its a free inspection for that week) so only managed to get "the expert who does the driving test" of the vehicle. This gentlemen did a visual inspection of the vehicle and said there must be a leak in the water pump. Then took it out side and drove on different road conditions while the shutter is down to hear any sounds and we were able to hear a sound like a kettle whistle when the engine is hot. Odometer says its still 50k and with the original battery (TL guy said this came with the exact brand) so a water pump issue as I've learnt from old threads, must not have happened in such milleage.
Then I took it to Auto M** Pepiliyana, and showed it to one of their experts and when the engine was cold no sounds at all and he checked the pulley and the surrounding area and said no sign of such a leak.
1. Anyone had this experience before where there is a coolant leak or whistle sound when the engine is hot?
2. Is it an expensive repair?
3. Whom should I show this?
**********************
On a separate note, I have only one smart key, thought to make another one and found the price tag clost to 18k. Anyone knows a good place? I have seen so many ads in hitA* pages but don't know if they are trust worthy.
