Mirage - Issues/Problems?

[baludoy]

maigi naman at may paraan na overhaul mga cvt

actually sa malaysia parang gawain na nila iyan matagal na. may napanood ako sa youtube ginawa nila cvt ng honda city gd6 (ipis) dati.

I wonder if my issue is also the alternator.. Mine is a 2016 glx hatch cvt. Everytime im in drive as long as easy to normal acceleration/ deceleration i get lots of rattling under the hood.. Sounds like small crackling/ rattling.. It exactly sounds like a gasoline engine being stalled. currently at 10thKm casa maintained.

From my observation, engine knock yan. Try using Blaze 100. Shell V-power Racing did not work on my HB only a good batch of Blaze 100 or when I use half a bottle of Octane improver.

i have a 5-yr old g4 gls mt. current mileage is about 119k kms. common issues i have had

1. yung squealing brakes pag bagong andar. resolved it by buying replacement brake pads.
2. weak aircon. have to replace the cabin filter every 5k km pms.
3. twice na ko nagpalit ng wheel bearings. the last one i did only after about 6k kms. sakit sa bulsa.
4. annoying rattling sound when you turn on the aircon. not a big issue though.
5. the gap between the bumper and the hood. ang lapad na nya.
6. grinding sound pag nagshift ka to reverse. remedy is shift ka muna into a forward gear, then reverse para smooth ang pasok.

Most of the above are just annoyances except for the wheel bearing problem. yan ang main gripe ko. cheapipay ang parts na yan ng mitsu. even their clutch components ambilis ng wear & tear. have to replace mine (disc, pressure plate, release bearing) after about 70k kms kasi sliding na. in my old corolla it took me about 150k++ kms bago nagslide ang clutch.

But in terms of engine performance and fuel economy, i have no complaints.

Item #4 experience ko din ito. Same with my 2016 HB. AC compressor source ng sound. After 8x years even only at 26th km, I had to replace the AC compressor. Today actually P27k damage.

Mine today while I was driving for work temp icon went on red. Cranked aircon fan and set to heater to prevent it overheating. I was aboe to get it home after work sans the auxiliary fan- radiator fan not working. upon checking the fan it seems like the actual fan itself is no longer connected to the motor. it was just dangling from it's supposed to be securing nut location. good thing it is still in place. not sure what to do if i have to replace the entire fan itself or just that particular nut to secure it back in place to run properly- if ever it isnt broken yet. yes, a lot of bad roads- probably the reason why it came loose

screw it back on and use the car again. observe very closely for signs that were not there before. anything out of the ordinary.
i certainly hope your engine block and head, and pistons, are fine.
good luck and i hope everything turns out fine.

'swhy i prefer temp needle in lieu of idiot light. i can more closely observe impending temperature overheatings.
