i suggest do an X-point check up done by the CASA. invest in the CASA check-up. they have all the tools needed to check the ride, including CONSULT. P800 ata if im not mistaken for the whole check-up. had this done on my B12 before. tapos lahat ng results ako na nagpagawa sa labas since mas mura.

pero in your case, invest in the check-up. mahirap magka buyer's remorse.
the paint condition and the 16" shoes won't matter if the ride's gonna bog down on you..

sa palagay nyo mga boss alisin ko na sa choices to.. noob palang po kasi sa auto.. malaking factor po ba kung mataas ang mileage kahit alagang casa ang auto... baka po may kakilala kyo na nagbebenta ng fresh na n16 inform nyo naman po ako

mga paps yung pang squirt ng tubig sa windshield ayaw gumana nung isa. tinusok ko na ng pin ayaw pa rin. pano kaya aayusin yun?

**badbadtz.carlo** · August 27th, 2009 02:38 AM

paps, try this. works for me many times na..
i use flexible wire strings.. gamit ko lagi ung mga lumang guitar strings.
insert sa blocked nozzle ng washer. then in-out, in-out lang. then try it again.
if ayaw pa ren, i bring my car sa gas station where meron sila air pump.

pump air sa nozzle then try again. if ayaw pa ren, pop the hood and remove the t-valve that connects the two tubes for both nozzles. blow air dun sa tubes.. then blow air ren from below the hood. ung sa ilalim ng nozzles.

pag ayaw pa ren, bili ka na lang sa surplusan ng nozzle na bago. costed 60 petot on my B12. dunno how much sa N16 naten. meron ren siguro sa CASA. dunno how much lang.

lagi tong nangyayare sa ken if tinamad akong magmasking tape pag nagwa-wax.. =)

HTH.

Just sharing my experience on how to lower my fuel consumption.
1. Engine oil . 10W -40 on my engine lighter oil compare to 20w -50 heavier oil engine more load to the engine . Change oil every 5,ooo Km. or less if you want to use mineral oil more cheeper .change oil every 3,000. Km.
2.Check sparkplug color for the correct air fuel mixture . If black meaning the fuel doesnt burn well meaning wasted gasoline .
3.If your having tune up Check the following . Dirty air filter, fuel filter,distibutor rotor ,distributor cap, Sparkplug wire set ,Oilfilter. On electrical the more current the better in the combustion of gas in the engine.
4. proper inflation of tire is important.
5 Proper Tire alighment and camber .
6. Correct rim sze. Others oversized rim
7.If manual Tnsmission . Replaced gear oil for better shifting.
If Automatic Transmission .Replace ATF reccomended for the car . Old ATF fluid affect engine performance
8. Weight reduction .Removed all the material you dont need in the trunk.
9.Stock engine .
10 Driving habit. include accelleration , braking .
Just include other things you think of to lower your fuel consumption .
If you will follow and sum this all up . I think you will lower yor fuel consumption.
This is only my suggestion. HOPE THIS HELP.
