owh..
we have the same engine car..
and, the same transmission..
nice..

bout the price..
sorry..
no idea..

any sifu wanna give the answer..?
help, help..

 

[metalrizca]

well bro,
there's many possible causes..

if your engine is lack of power, it could be:

5. clutch slipping.. (are you using manual or auto?)

if you're using manual transmission,
and the car can't go faster than 110km/h,
and the fuel consumption is high..
i guess, more to clutch slipping problem..

send your car to workshop..

n wht is the solution for this problem?

erm..
clutch slipping yek..?

clutch slipping can happened if:

1. clutch plate worn..
2. clutch plate oil-soaked by leaking rear main seal..
3. warped pressure plate or flywheel..
4. weak diaphgarm spring..
5. clutch plate overheated..

solution..?
either repair or replace..

masalah timing ke..?

kalu baru buat valve clearence,
cuba check head gasket..
maybe ada leaking..

kalu takde leaking,
kita proceed ke lain2 lak..

proper valve adjustment tappets should be done when engine is dead cold......i.e. left overnight and adjusted early morning, either that you will still get improper valve clearance

 

[iCe]

how much is the normal labour charge for valve clearance?
