Smoke: Piston or turbine?

Forum: 

My Mira L200s turbo is sending out white smoke. I notice some decrease in engine oil. I am not quite sure what the real causes?

The smoke only came out for a short while after long idling in trafic jam, sometime in the morning (first start), esp I i press hard on the throttle, when turbo kick in. This does not happen even if I step hard on the throttle at stop, normally.

I betting on the worn piston/ring or blown turbo turbine. Can anyone please advise or help. Thanks in advance.

99/T Cuore not starting!!!

Forum: 

Hi, got a problem with my 99 cuore. When i turn the key, it's like it starts for two seconds and then dies. Has anyone experienced this? know what the problem may be. I think it may be the key imobiliser, is there any way to fix this (or is it dealer only), any help appreciated - frustrated cuore owner!!!!!

P.S. the car was left parked for about six months whilst i was abroad - and it hasn't started since - been 2 weeks.

Smoking Mira L200s Turbo

Forum: 

My Mira L200s turbo is sending out white smoke. I notice some decrease in engine oil. I am not quite sure what the real causes?

1)The smoke only came out for a short while after long idling in trafic jam, sometime in the morning (first start), esp I i press hard on the throttle with turbo kick in. This does not happen even if I step hard on the throttle at stop, normally.

2) I found it abit hard to start. You have to wait till the second "tick" of the relay in the far left under deshboard. If you cranking fail to start after second or third attempt, some white smoke will come out from exhaust for a while.

Lighting problems

Forum: 

I have a 1993 Charade GXi and have just fitted some 'Ring' driving lights. The instructions suggested that I could either fit a switch, or tap into the main beam power supply which I have done. However, when I turn on my side lights the driving lights come on and the side lights are dim. Once the dipped and main beam lights are switched on, all is well. The driving lights only come on when the main beam is switched on.

Idling problem

Forum: 

I own a Mira L200S auto. I am having problem with the idle RPM. What is the normal RPM when it is idling. Mine is around 1100 and not constant. It goes up and down. Do you think getting the injector service is a good thing?

There also black oil coming from the oil cap. Have tried changing the cap few time but doesn't seems to help.

Appreciate your comment.

Seat Belt Jamming on Copen

Forum: 

Seat belts on my Copen tend to jam or come out of the guide on the side of the seat. I briefly met a guy who works for Ford at Dagenham who said that they have a mod that will cure that but did not get the chance to ask him what it was. I can only think that this may be something to do with the Ford Street KA. Has anyone else had this problem? If so any comments or advice please?

Daihatsu Mira L500 timing belt, bearing and oil seals

Forum: 

I am about to replace my 1996 perodua nippa with used Mira L500 engine (EF-ZL twin cam 3-cylinder). Since I would carry-out major change to my Nippa, I would also like to replace with brand new timing belt, timig bearing, oil seals (i.e. driveshaft, flywheel, etc), water pump, etc. The only problem I am having that I need the above OEM spare parts numbers. Please someone help me.
