There were a lot of actions with the car, but I registered only today, so I’ll write everything in one pile, I’ll write further by dates ... - Toyota Celica, 1.8 liter, 1999
Club car, purchased by me on June 16, 2010.
A preliminary diagnosis was made on June 13, of the shortcomings - the fuel filter needs to be replaced, the right automatic transmission seal is leaking, and the air vent needs to be cleaned.
About the car itself — 2000. It was brought from Illinois to Mozhaisk, from where it was transported to Nizhnevartovsk, and then to Moscow. Number of owners - 3. I am the fourth (in the Russian Federation - 3rd).
Of the interesting — was made bulkhead dvigla and now it's like new. Xenon headlights, rare Bomex front body kit and original car paint. Good music. system and radio with a large display. Cool wheels 17radius with slicks, though already killed. We eat 92 gasoline.
June 17 registered + passed the TRP.
On June 26, the service performed the following work:
- Diagnostics of the brake system
- Diagnostics of the running gear
- Xenon lamp replacement [the right bulb died and I bought a set of new lamps and they were replaced in the service, now I know how to do it right :)]
- Checking all liquid levels
— Fuel filter — replacement.
The washer fluid ran out, filled in 5 liters of a new one :) And where does it fit so much?!
On July 10, the service performed the following work:
— Replacing the shock absorbers of the rear trunk lid
— Replacing the right oil seal of the automatic transmission
Then the mega HEAT started and I realized that the air conditioner does not cool well enough, it does not cool at idle and eventually stopped working at all, I had to go to the service again ...
On July 11, the following work was done at the service:
- Refueling the air conditioner
This did not help for a long time, the problem turned out to be different:
on July 17, the following work was done at the service:
- Repair of the electrical wiring of the air conditioner (open circuit)
This helped, but obviously something else was wrong:
on July 31, the service performed the following work:
- Removal and installation of a cooling radiator
- Replacing antifreeze (drain-fill)
- Washing the radiator
- Installing an alarm with a glass closer [the old signaling began to fool + I didn't know the passwords and the keychain was broken]
Now the air conditioner cooled as it should, the heat stopped pestering me.
Unfortunately, when traveling out of town to a quarry, the front bumper was damaged due to bad, broken roads - a deep crack formed from below. Now I'm thinking - which bumper to buy so that the ground clearance is higher, but also looks cool. In the molar workshop they said that it was already useless to repair it. So I'll wait for the z.p. and slowly pick up a new body kit.
Parktronics were installed on the car, but the installer obviously did not bother with the settings, and this stray more hindered than helped. had to turn it off. Instead, I decided to install a rear view camera, it is somehow more practical and more interesting.
August 14, I bought and installed a club number frame. Then the service performed the following work:
— Installation of a rear view camera
Well, now I can park with an enviable millimeter :)
GTS eats 95 and GT 92. Consumption by the way, on the contrary, increases. So it’s still more profitable for money than 92. Well, in traffic jams, it’s all the same how the engine will purr :)
For some reason, it seemed that it was eating at least 95) for example, like mine) but in general, the higher the octane number of the fuel, the lower its consumption, as a rule. So the price difference is compensated! Plus the engine runs better.
According to the passport, you need to pour 92. Of course, you can jump over to 95 (it seems like the machine will be faster), but I still don’t see the point for myself. And financially 92 is all the same more profitable :)
Perhaps in the future this option will be considered.
