    A32 engine auto shut down

    I used to have similar problem, due to a leakage at the air-filter box, where the vacuum hose connects to the air-box. In my case, the vacuum hose connector (PVC one) cracked, probably due to the mechanic accidentally pressed on it when servicing my air-cond. Can try check vacuum hose leakage...

    Is this gearbox prob? pls help.

    Hi DC! I'm having a gearbox sitting idle in store with the 3.0 engine after i swapped to 2.5. But it's final drive is quite high, i think around 3000rpm at 120km/h. So on highway fc is not good, but hill climbing u can smile all the way up :proud: No sure whether it's a 2.0 gearbox. Feel free...

    Shitbrix fuel consumption cefiro a33

    Just to share how good/bad the fc can be. last time my A32 VQ30 full tank can get 750km on 100% highway (110km/h), then i changed to VQ25 with full tank getting 700km 100% highway. So it's slightly better than 11km/l. Both on light foot and smooth acceleration. On traffic, quite similar to...

    Cefiro A33 Overdrive gear not function

    My pajero had this problem last time, apparently due to a blown fuse that controls the overdrive gear. If u r handy, the fuse box should be at the right hand side below steering. No harm giving it a try before going to mech right? :wink: Anyway, i'm driving a A32

    HID for A32

    Have been using Osram Night Breaker for almost a year on JDM smoked-type headlamp. Visibility on B-roads are really good, and penetration thru rain drops and fog is also good. Some said Philips Xtreme is better, gonna try next time.

    3.0L to 2.5L advice and comment needed

    i think it's the torque, cos final gear ratio is quite similar to VQ30. But to my surprise initially after engine change, the pickup response on 1st gear is better than my old VQ30

    3.0L to 2.5L advice and comment needed

    opps.. weikee, i thought u r on VQ25... for me, my VQ25 highway FC is similar to VQ30, but come to city drive VQ25 FC if worse than VQ30. maybe bcos of the weight the smaller engine has to carry.

    3.0L to 2.5L advice and comment needed

    i checked for costs rebuilding the engine, it's way too higher than a half cut. Maybe mine was too terrible to rebuild, cos my radiator pipes corroded, engine leaking like hell, brake pump problems, drive shaft and steering rack problems, etc. So, it depends on how terrible is your existing...
