Hello, good day to everyone. I bought a used corolla gli last JULY 2012. 9 years syang stucked lang sa garahe. Nag-overheat yung oto at hindi na pina-ayos kasi nasa abroad yung dating may-ari. here are the things na ginawa nung nakuha ko na:
Bought brand new battery
Pinalitan ng brand new yung radiator
Pinadrain ko yung gas tank at pinalinis
Change oil (2x)
Repaired the AC ( meron pong pinalitan na pyesa, i just dont know kung ano kasi tatay ko ang nagpaayos nun)
ngayon ang problema po:
kumakadyot sa 2nd gear
malakas consumption ng gasolina
Mausok ang tambutso ( black smoke)
Dalawang beses na nawalan ng tubig ang radiator
others:
oblong ang mga gulong (to be replaced)
matagtag ang ride (sabi ng mekaniko ok pa nman ang shocks)
3 mekaniko na po ang tumingin sa oto ko. Nagpalit na din ako ng fuel filter, fuel pump, at spark plugs pero the problems are still there. Help, anyone?
1. Do a compression test (to see if it needs to be overhauled)
2. Change spark plugs
3. Check timing
4. Check where you are losing water (hoses? water pump?); change the radiator cap to a brand new, OEM one.
5. Change other fluids: gear oil, power steering
6. Change air and fuel filter
