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.· 4 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

OK. Here is the thing. I know I'm a stupid person for doing such thin without any proper research. But anyways now things are happened, I would like to ask your help guys!
Earlier this year I bought a KEI car (Daihatsu Move - Toyota Pixis Space rebadged) clocked around 20k(which is obviously tampered with the mileage).
After 2-3 months, I found out car is jumpy. So the mechanic recommended me to do a transmission fluid change. he used a generic CVT fluid(BG brand if I'm correct) (Remember, I don't have a knowledge of anything regarded to CVT transmission/oil grades etc...)
But after 1000 or so kms, the jumpiness is till there. Then I showed my car to a place in Old Kottawa rd, who says they are experts in gearboxes. And they told me the CVT oil is not the recommended one and want to replace it again. They recommended to use Suzuki Green 2 (which is surprised for me since this is a toyota/daihatsu). I asked 2-3 times and they said the oil brand won't matter and I then they removed the sump and cleaned filter and used green2.
So now I have driven around 5000Kms from the initial oil change and still the jumpiness is there and when I let go of accelerator and hit it slowly again, there is a jump. When I deaccelerate without using brake, when it comes around 10kmph, I kindda feel the little jumpiness and sluggish-ness. And it's hard to accelerate. Gears are not changing properly etc...
This being so hassle for me, I started doing research. Then I found out the recommended oil which can be used is Toyota CVTF TC. Asked from Softlogic Automobile and verified it too.
Then Last Saturday I again removed the sump and changed the oil with the recommended one.
Now, I see a lot of improvement. Vehicle is accelerating. But, the problem is jumpiness is still there. It's not bad as earlier. But definitely it's there.
So what can I do? I know that I was an idiot to trust these "maka bass" and let them change the oil as they wanted. But I'm being a guy who has 0 knowledge in motor mechanic knowledge, it's inevitable.
Is my transmission system is busted or is there anything that I can do?
Also I would like to mention that last week my Bnew spark plugs (Denso) failed at me (only 3000 or so KMs used it. It seems I was scammed with that too.:/ ). then I replaced them with NGks and did a tuneup.
Please help me guys.
