I have 700k am not doing anything with.
The amount I mention self make fear dey catch me..
Na seed I want make gazzuzz take the car sow for my life.. Make I enter road again.

GAZZUZZ:


* Noisy suspension front and rear (danfo type)

* Engine slugish (underpowered )

* Engine cranks longer than necessary

* Stuck in 3rd gear, bangs in drive and reverse.

* Starts in neutral only

* Horrible brakes

* No horn

* Very stiff power steering

* Tyres worn out

* Engine bay, interior trunk filthy

* Body jobs required

* Paint work required

* Rear bumper required

* Rear lights getting cracked (sunburn)

* AC dysfunctional.

* Car stereo Display not working

Most of what I could see at that point in time.



Going thru my head at this point is, make vehicle drivable transmission, small body work, steering then quickly flip it dru23 style make a quick 50-70k.

Then another voice reminded me that there was no run around vehicle in the shop and this would be perfect for teaching the Bois how to drive and quick errands.

I started work.

Called Eze to come wash the interior and trunk while I simultaneously started work in the engine area.

First things first a scan

Revealed transmission codes some solenoid A stuck one kind like that, I ignored it, inspected harness was intact, went over to engine and removed valve cover and timing belt cover.

The timing was off by a mile! Explains the loss of power and sluggish movement.

Remarkably, when the cover was opened the engine was CLEAN! As in what was obtainable in a foreign used engine, with good history, I went back to our chat and I was like this guy no wind me o!

GAZZUZZ:


Ideas been running thru my head

olumzzz:

Ok.
Make i komot hand for the matter then.
Wish you goodluck

GAZZUZZ:


Ideas been runn.ing thru my head

GAZZUZZ:


work continues.

The trip made me realise a couple of things about the vehicle.

I ensured paper work was complete before leaving, but gladly no one was interested bin stoping my jalopy for checks.

Fuel economy is only good when you keep speeds under 120km/h, if you force it too hard, it gulps fuel.

Previous owner had raised the front struts of the vehicle, this messed up the aerodynamics of the car, you could actually feel the vehicle fighting the wind , also messed up the fuel economy.

oil burn was less than 0.5liters for the over 800km trip, without much oil colour change, no coolant shortage , no transmission oil leaks, no new codes on vehicle computer, no uneven tyre wear, airconditioning still works as it should .


I will be working on the suspension to give vehicle proper height balance, replace front and rear struts, and rear coil springs.

Aesthetics will follow shortly after.

nuwell:


At the bolded, should one expect any oil burn at all, from a healthy engine during such a long trip?

GAZZUZZ:


Naturally no, but driving at really high rpms it does happen.

Any cause for alarm? Time will tell. For now I'm not bothered.

nuwell:


Noted with thanks. I believe this applies to the average car not just this Rio, right?

GAZZUZZ:
Back to that bloody AC, system the system had become black and system was low on refrigerant.

Took out the compressor and noticed it was leaking, I placed an order for another plus new pipings

I was able to get a replacement , but not en

pipings, one weldwas needed.

Listen carefully here if you are DIY compliant

Kia designs are very small diameter pipings on the high side of their designs, wedding pipes causes a reduction in the diameter of the pipe (especially high side) and causes a back pressure and a lot of heat on the compressor.

I got an almost complete pipe, and welded it using a larger pipe in the middle, imagination again, two pipes of same diameter joined by one pipe of slightly higher larger diameter then welded toghether, no blockage any more, pulled vacuum and compressor was leaking


Placed an order for another compressor but this time an automatic variable displacement compressor which is cheaper but most technicians run away from .


Pulled vacuum, no leaks, oiled installed and refrigerant installed .

Air conditioning started working, cooling excellent, excessive heat on compressor eliminated , ac worked so well you had to add a little heat to use it at night or you would just freeze to death.


Ac chapter closed.


I had a lecture in the shop on how I learned to drive on my own, and told the bois to be creative , drive within the shop, use this kia to learn to move a car, I became a motivational speaker.

Came back in the evening and monday don kiss pillar
