Hey guys~ If you need parts, just search in Malaysia... We have all manners of parts for this car, both OEM as well as aftermarket as we do have a twin in the name of Perodua Viva...

@robywankenobi32 2 года назад

In MCM's case, leaking rocker cover means broken PCV system, air is sucked from least resistance area closest to PCV rocker cover vacuum port, instead the system should promote diagonally intentionally furthest away through means of the fresh air inlet tube on the intake pipe, with leaks a large majority of the crankcase ventilation is bypassed, stagnate oil and blowby products that are not displaced in the Positive Displacement Ventilation System then get stuck. Literally any crankcase leak is a instant DO NOT START the motor situation until they are fixed and PCV system vacuum is checked, again to Marty's points the second there was a leak it should have been fixed, sludge is a result of this leak like many cars I have seen.

Leave them to dry and you’ve got yourself a seal👍🏻

Hey lads, as an Aussie that's recently moved to the USA and bought a couple beater projects.. If you can get it back home in Aus, Seafoam additive. I've had two engines one a 7.3 with a stuck valve and blocked valley resulting in no oil coming up through the pushrods and another with an extremely gummed up valvetrain. Seafoamed the shit out of the oil with a bit of ATF as well, ran them, drained oil, new filter and another round of seafoam before another change and it solved all the issues. The stuff is top notch

@@ashleywright1991 I'm not sure that makes any sense to me. Unless you mean that the valve lash will somehow get thrown off? I don't see why that would happen.

I've got to ask, is the new Mira or the Up! actually faster than one or both of your posties down the drag strip?

@afoolandhismoneychannel 2 года назад

For the very few years that Diahatsu's were sold in North America, the smallest cars were always called Charade. I'd never heard of a Mira until I discovered MCM!

"For a hot meal on a long road trip" It has to be a long road trip! It takes about 4 hours to heat up a meat pie in those ovens! I used to have one in the truck and would throw a can of Man Size chunky soup in at about 6pm for a 9pm dinner

Honest-to-god. If this engine lasts long enough. Id do earlier oil changes on it to try and get as much shit out as it breaks up with that fresh oil. Someone may know better than me and it might not do anything, but it seems like it might be something that would work

@boingkster 2 года назад

Using a high detergency oil like a 15W-40 diesel oil (such as Gulf Western 'Top Dog') will help clean deposits, as will using a oil flush compound.

My 04 Corolla had an even worse case of the black death. She still running like a champ. Its been 2 years. Oil change every 5000kms and drop the oil pan every oil change to clean the pickup

Guys, I hope you're checking to make sure the charging system can handle a stove and a fridge.

@zyeborm 2 года назад

Those things can be surprisingly low load. Like I was expecting a thousand watts for a stove but FIL was getting one for his truck and it was in the hundred watts range if memory serves.The big thing is they are very slow to heat I think. Like put your pie in now and in an hour or two it'll be hot. Not 2 minutes in the microwave.

@ferrumignis 2 года назад

@@zyeborm 12A for the cooker, usually about 5A for the 12v fridges. However these cars only have a 60 A alternator so if you are driving at night, in the rain with blower on etc then there's not a lot of spare capacity.

@@ferrumignis true. I was just saying I was still shocked at how low it was. I was expecting an extra zero.

I had a MK patrol with L28 engine. Ripped rocker cocer off to find it coayed in solid oil...yes the oil had cooked so bad it was solid. You couldnt even see the valves etc it was so thick. Took 4 hours with degreaser and an industrial hot pressure cleaner to clean it up.

Time for an electric conversion!

@RSProduxx 2 года назад

I still don´t really get why VW cancelled the eUp!... They had a very very long order que.. But I guess they just don´t have the production capacity to meet the high demand at this point, if they´d base it on the MEB platform... In short: Oh yes, the Charade would be a fun e-conversion project :)

@zogworth 2 года назад

@@RSProduxx I don't think they cancelled it, they got way more orders than they had capacity for so had to stop taking new ones. I think they're replacing it with something like the ID1 soon.

just a suggestion but you could run some berrymans engine cleaner or some seafoam through it and it might help clean some of the crud out of there.

Chuck a bottle of Liquimoly Engine Flush Plus in with the next oil change. It's like $20 at Supercheap. Then give us another look under the rocker cover the oil change after that. Might have even found a gasket by then 👍

funny you mention oil , I recently brought a commodore that had zero love changed the oil and it just went back to black instantly , the car runs like crap and I DONT BLAME IT. My 30 year old Honda has had love its whole life and the 5 years Ive had it I change the oil frequently and it loves life!! 10 years older than the bombodore and 150,000 more kms on the clock and its a freak. frequent maintenance is a massive thing people over look.
