Hi all,
I'm having difficulties starting the engine, looks like this thingy works well in cool/ cold weather, but when it comes to summer (or after my car exposed long enuff under the sun, the engine simply wouldnt start!
Here is the situation:
My car is a Hyundai Excel 95 manual. When I insert the key and try to start the engine, I heard a very little sorta "dick" sound at the front without anything else. This is a 2nd car I bought 2 years ago and had the battery (brand new) installed at the same time. In fact this problem appeared 2-3 months right after the replacement so I dun think its bcoz the battery gone flat. What would be the other possible reasons?
Also just found out from the receipt given by previous owner 2 years ago :P, that instead of manual transmission fluid, he actually replaced it with the one for auto cars... Would it be a problem?
Long question.... Thanks for ur help
