Alto 04 - Maintenance and Service details
dtandon replied to sb-alto's topic in Members Car ownership reviews
The primer that you are using seems to be too diluted. It will not last long. -
Rains lash Mumbai; Help for stranded motorists

I'm just worried about additional damage (outside of the alternator). AFAIK - your idle RPM should be higher as the ECU should sense that the electrical load exceeds the output of the alternator.
-
Was your idle RPM increasing when under full electrical load (lights, fogs, defroster, blower, stereo) ?
-
And also then tell the entire forun the pathetic Fuel Efficiency you get after following the above advice. Are you guys kidding! Since when did 2000 rpm become high revs/ cause for low FE! 2000-2500 rpm is a bare minimum to extract any performance from a petrol engine. Or do you drive around at idle ?

Suggestion needed- A preworship'd workhorse for 2L
dtandon replied to creativebala's topic in AAA - Ask Autocar Anything
There is no such thing as a pre owned diesel car that was used for just 25K km in 5 years. Look carefully and you'll probably see that its done atleast 80K km (that's when the Accent CRDI becomes a ticking time bomb). -
CV joints that are going bad will not cause jerks. IMO the problem is either a mount for the AT or the AT internals.
-
Its not a 5 seater. This almost looks like a facelift of the existing reva. Have seen this car a couple of times on Hosur road in peak traffic (three months ago). Never go a chance to take a picture.

@sgiitk - Changing the engine mounts could be tried (should be easy on the pocket). What is the recommended AT fluid change interval - you haven't mentioned when it was changed last. I'm not familiar with the santro - does it have a separate mount for the gearbox?
-

Strange problem. Its probably not the CV joints or tyres though. And the A.S.S is probably no good at diagnosing AT issues. When was the last AT Fluid change ?dtandon2010-06-19 17:26:09

Need help on buying second hand car
dtandon replied to suryahonda4111's topic in AAA - Ask Autocar Anything
To the thread starter - you are not going to find a reliable diesel car in that budget. I would suggest a Maruti with LPG/CNG as a better option. -
Punto has a large turning radius and bad plastic quality. Rahul has already mentioned that. Don't be lazy - test drive all the the cars. You make like the punto after all.
