About Myvi Engine – K3-VE 1300cc And 3SZ 1500cc Engine
For 1st and 2nd generation Perodua Myvi, there are two engine variant which is K3-VE and 3SZ engine. Generally, the K3-VE engine is a Toyota 1300cc engine. While the 3SZ engine is a Toyota 1500cc engine. Commonly, these two engines are common engine for hatchback or light weight segment B sedan Daihatsu or Toyota car.
Because of having an engine which is designed by Toyota, the durability and reliability of Myvi is relatively good. Thus, most of the Myvi which require overhaul procedure is because of the high mileage record. When the mileage is high, the engine components such as piston ring, gasket and seal will start to have wear and tear problem. Hence, the engine will require a comprehensive overhaul procedure to restore the condition.
Besides, many Myvi K3-VE or 3SZ engine require overhaul because of bad maintenance history. Generally, overused or low-quality engine oil is the common sign or consequences of bad maintenance. When the engine is has having overused or low quality oil, the oil lubrication ability will be under expectation. Thus, the engine oil will contain high amount of dirty substance and carbon debris. As a consequences, Perodua Myvi engine will start to have engine problem such as oil leak or low compression.
Why Myvi Engine Will Have Oil Leak Issue ?
The most common cause for Perodua Myvi engine oil leak problem is the failure of the sealing components. When the crankshaft seal is degrade, the engine oil will start to leak via the section nearby the crankshaft pulley. If the top valve cover seal is bad, the oil will start to leak via the engine head section. Besides, Myvi engine will start to have oil leak issue around the engine block when the gasket is blown. On the other hand, the engine will have oil leak via the oil pan or timing chain cover when the oil seal glue is degraded.
Overhaul Perodua Myvi Engine And Fix The Oil Leak Issue
Commonly, the workshop will suggest a top overhaul or full overhaul procedure when engine sealing components are bad. This is because some engine sealing components is reachable after dismantling many engine components. Hence, it is more cost effective to do a complete engine overhaul procedure to replace the other aged sealing components in the same procedure.
Engine With Low Compression Problem
If the engine has low compression problem, the combustion stage will fail to generate the correct amount of power. As a consequences, Myvi driver will feel the car is having low power output problem. Besides, the engine will start to vibrate abnormally after having low compression problem.
Generally, the most common causes for the low compression is as below:
- Scoring mark on the engine cylinder wall
- Bad piston ring
- Leakage around the intake or exhaust valve
- Blown gasket
- Engine block distortion due to overheat
Why Overhaul Is An Common Solution For Fixing Perodua Myvi Engine Low Compression Issue ?
When Perodua Myvi engine has low compression issue, the workshop will propose the overhaul procedure to fix the problem. This is because the mechanic will only able to reach and check the engine internal components after open the engine. Hence, overhaul is a cost effective method for fixing the Perodua Myvi engine which has low compression problem.
Visit The Workshop For Engine Condition Checking Before Doing Overhaul
Perodua Myvi owner is encouraged to visit several workshops for reviewing the engine problems and understand the problem solving proposal. This is because different workshops may come out with different suggestion and quotation. Thus, Perodua Myvi owner will able to compare the cost, price and problem-solving procedure when the engine is unhealthy.
