Not unless the vehicle starts fluctuating its rpm on idle
@XulfiqarI own a 1994 LC 80, with the 1FZFE engine. Is it ok to use complete fuel system cleaner or fuel injector cleaner in the car?Should it be used and if yes what is the correct way of using them?
Are there any adverse side effects of using it?
Thanks
Why do you want to use it
Hi @Xulfiqar I have a Prius 2005 1.5 the AC is not cooling now after adding gas and service of the AC it's still not working. the bad news is that a mechanic told me that there is something to change in Dashboard he said it's going to cost me a fucking 40k for it. now my problem is not money. its authenticity mechanics in Lahore are fucking khaal utaru. how can I trust that I am not being halal like a Bali ka bakra. i need guidance and a very good Prius AC/regular mechanic.
Thanks in advance.
Tu who suggested to do this without checking the system
Your best bet in Lahore is @syncview Please contact him and take an appointment. You won't be disappointed as he's recommended by many forum seniors.
Just as a maintenance measure as its quite old and high mileage.
The fellow should have checked first.
AoA@Xulfiqar hope you are doing Good.I have to replace Water pump on a GLI 2010.2nzfe engine.I have found GMB pump from the market which is made in japan. 2nd option that i have is Aisin water pump.There is a price difference between two.Which one should i choose.And while installing should i apply RTV on pump edges or just install the pump with gasket included with the pump and apply no RTV.I have planned to use Caltex coolant afterwards too.Can this coolant mess with any of these Pumps/gasket/RTV.
make sure your mechanic cleans the surfaces perfectly nice and use the supplied gasket, if the surface is gouged or scratched or damaged then a touch of non setting gasket maker like shellac needs to be used on the gasket. - do not use RTV on the gasket as it will tear it up.
Sir i am doing it myself.And kindly guide about GMB Vs Aisin too?
between the two I always choose Aisin (pronounced "aeesheen") as its a much better product, even when outsourced their quality requirements are much higher than cheapo no name brands.
I am able to find Permatex Shellac.Indian head.Will it work?
yes thats the right product if your gasket surface is gouged, scratched or generally messed up on the engine. paint it on the new gasket.
Its Cheap i am going to order it incase i need it at that time.
for scraping the old gasket find a junked copper pipe from an AC supply shop, hammer it flat and then sharpen with a file or oilstone - use that to scrape the gasket off.
copper is much more forgiving when dealing with gasket scraping.
Thank you Sir.How hard of a job in this specific engine do you consider it?
Can the Shellac be applied to thermostat rubber ring if the surface is gouged?
No it wont work for rubber O rings, if the sealing surface is damaged for O ring, part replacement is required.
I have no idea because this is my 1st prius pak made cars are easy to work on then jdm
