Lancer going Underpower after servicing!!!
-
What's wrong with my baby Lancer?
After I send it to Alexandra Cycle & Carriage for servicing last month, my lancer went underpower.
Before that, I used to be able to drive it on 2000rpm at 90km/h. After the servicing, the max speed I can hit at 2000rpm is only 85km/h.
Been asking around all motor workshops but they all say cannot find any probs with the engine or tyres.
Anyone has any solution????
-
go back to C&C any bring up that problem on underpower. if yours is that auto CVT, then could be that the CVT needs some re-adaptation via their diagnostic tester.... just a guess coz not sure how their CVT works
-
i went back there already. They claim that its due to the spark plugs and they replaced them for me at $37. But still same problem.
Then they say they checked everything and cant find anything wrong...... -
if your car is still under warranty, then its time to go straight to the higher level already.
get them to test drive with you and show him the speedometer and rev meter readings and make a big fuss. dun go to the CSO already, write letter to the workshop manager or GM. that is if you really want to go that far to get yr car fix properly.
btw u sure got no load in yr boot or not

they changed to a low grade engine oil?

5 km/h difference is very normal
You use syn oil or mineral oil for servicing?
Spark plug is not the issue, its more like you timing belt or idling rpm.
really... 5km/h diff is not a problem unless you are talking about 15km/h. Thats when you should really screw C&C all the way liao.
bTw, yours AT or MT.
If its AT, maybe can start adding Grounding, sometimes there's just not enough current to run the CVT trans to its full potential.. lolz.. maybe a 0.2volt diff? lolz....
But anyway... going for servicing does not increase or decrease power, its just lubricates and smooth out the transmission. lolz
Maybe change a new air filther?!? -
why so fussy? 5km/h difference only..... car can run can liao lah
-
ok lah, not so much difference
it is lancer and dun expect so muchOriginally posted by wiL_BeR:What's wrong with my baby Lancer?

they changed synthetic oil for me and cleared the air filter also. when asked abt the idling rpm, they mentioned that it has been checked also.
Mine's AT. Prob will consider drumstick's suggestion to add groundings.
thou its only 5km/h diff but still, i was surprised that this will happen after my servicing. -

What's the viscosity of the engine oil being used before and after the servicing?
-
I tell you what's wrong, your CVT just became Hyper CVT.
