1) service your VVT pulley...will eliminate the diesel sound...FYI new VVT pulley cost around RM800++ ...

2) Check water pump healthiness, Service your radiator...if using toyota coolant or other coolant do change after runnin few hundred thousands km...

Good luck...
Where to get new VVT pulley? Sick of changing it with halfcut item. Sometime worse than the previous pulley. Now my check engine light turn on. Power very sluggish if driven under 4k rpm.

if want to maintain vvt, juz swap the vvt pulley, and i got 1unit, taken out from low mileage half cut..
if want to disable vvt, juz put the adjustable vvt..
suggestion:
use better engine oil, preferred semi syn, no need go for fully syn if in stock setting

Hi all,

Something bad happened just now on my way home, i have got no idea why out of sudden my gearbox got this squeeky sound and 'tak tak' sound while shifting gears. Does this mean that the gearbox is dead? I like this gearbox alot, still can save ar? If not ..

1. How much does 2nd hand 1.3 GLi gearbox cost? roughly?
2. Can I use 1.3 Carb gearbox?
3. Installation workmanship labour?
4. What should I do with the faulty gearbox, can I sell it away to some steel shop?

GT Auto later in...
