Well, I am also a user of Mehran 2005 (zero meter), and I was quite satisfied with the usual performace/milage etc on CNG and Petrol in city & on long routes in the starting 4-5 years with aprently no noise from any part.
BUT now this car is becoming a headache for me!
there has been quite a lot of work on it for nearly last 2 years, be it Carburetor, Axel kamani, locks, switch, tapet, and what not!
BUT the car is not even trying to reach expectations.
(I know it has become old, but cant it be near normal...?)
the last work was done in January, petrol system(carburetor fuel pump replacement,tanky wash(as the mechanics say, etc) + front L/R axels,
Petrol had problems that it gave very much white smoke, + on near 80km/h it used to start giving JHATKAS..
The diagnosed problem was in fuel pump that it used to cut of the supply of petrol to the carburetor: Fuel pump replaced.
Again the same problem,: Carburetor work done,!
Again same problem: Mechanic change, tank wash, fuel line,carburetor work, again fuel pump replaced!
Still the problem goes on....
Similar with the axel thing,
repaired, then Kabli replaced ,
Again same problem!!
And to my extreme frustration, last week my car engine caught fire!
Nearly all the pipes, wirings and other plastic stuff and distributor system melted
Thank GOD every one remained safe in the car...
Supposedly, the new fuel pump/pipe leaked ...
And resultantly, the hood has also lost its color from inside and outside unbearably...
The complete work had been done in G-8 markaz USTADs...
Now the point is, Can I get my mehran back same as it used to be atleast 2-3 years back , smooth and fine???
Should I start going to some PakSuzuki workshop(because, till 3-4 years in the start I used to go there in I-10, and my car was all good. I left them because of high prices(and I couldn't see my car being worked upon; waiting room policy...))
Please tell what you prefer where should I go in Islamabad/pindi where I can get my car all good, at a reasonable cost?
engine, axel, carburetor, electrical wiring, and paint etc...
I still want to keep my mehran, atleast as second car...
