I'm in Pécs, near the Croatian border, about 340 kms from sopron

Believe me, it has a Cat. I'll take some photos of the engine in the afternoon.

They didn't check anything. I took it to 3 diesel-specialist, the first said that it's simply old (12 years and 140 000 kms), the second said it's the turbo, and the third said it's a cylinder gasket. None of them even touched the car, none of them took any measurements, or anything.

BTW, how much would it cost to replace all cylinder gaskets?

Hey, that sound familiar with me. Our autoshops don't like to touch old cars with many kms either, they rather like to sell you a new showroom car.

I hadn't known that the situation is the same in Hungary as it is in Switzerland. :/

You might try again to take it in to another and smaller garage. They are rather helpful than the big autoshops; and sometimes they even do better and more reliable work.

Don't loose hope, insist with your problem in other garages. Was a qualified Daihatsu autoshop already investigating on it?

Cheers, Inday

Anyway, the CL61 engibe is not the very best engine from daih. :roll:

thanks for the quotes guys!

What are the signs if the turbo fails? I'm really worried, that the turbo may cause the problem!

I'll be back with some photos in the afternoon.

I guess, when you remove the catalic converter, your engine runs well again :D :D :D (just teasing you!)

Cheers Inday
