Hearing sound like (produced by friction) when Ac is on.but now sound is also coming when ac is off but is very low as compared to when AC is on.(And also sound dissapear on higher speed and when speed lower it again appear )What is problem is it compresser bearing or any other @Xulfiqar @capsat @margallar

Most probably A/C compressor belt tensioner bearing has gone.Its better to remove belt and confirm the sound.

Condition of tyres?

Try rotating the wheels. Interchange front right wheel with rear left, and front left wheel with rear right. Then see if it helps.

Secondly, wheel balancing may be required.

brand new cultus at 80+ kph & steering vibration? check the tyre pressure 28 psi in all 4, check for wheel balancing. wheel rotation shall be done only if necessary after wheel balancing.

get your checked from the dealer you bought it could be an issue with wheel balancing
just so you know went on a trip till Mangla on a brand new Cultus last month and didnt cause any trouble or problems at speeds upto 140 it even crossed 150 on m2 (SERIOUSLY wont recommend it though)

[Maverickiz3d]

Sorry i missed the 'new' part
Visit dealer to resolve problem.

take it back to suzuki and ask them to rebalance the wheels and also loosen the bolts on the suspension control arm (called qenchi in Karachi) and tighten them when the car is sitting on its wheels - this will remove any tension in the bushings - might as well check the ball joint stud nuts.

I have experience of 3 corollas that were delviered with such problem. one had a loose bolt and two were tightened with wheel hanging - this stretches the bushing

Just a thought, is there any replacement pump outside of the original one for the pajero 4m41, ideally looking for a more reliable and cheaper solution.

@Xulfiqar sir

no good working solution for you, its quite a dark and terrifying avenue to walk down when you start to mess with diesel injection pumps. If you can find someone who has good working knowledge of tuning diesel injection pumps then go ahead, otherwise stay put or you will be seeing money fly out your wallet.

Any idea where to source a new pump? Anywhere around the world... Because I have only been able to trace used ones.. mine hasn't given up but I like to be prepared incase something goes wrong

[taseensoomro]

Alright, I will take it to my dealer thanks.

Bhai This morning I started the car and the engine stalled, it stalls for maybe 30 secs on first morning start the IAC valve kicks in and things get better within a minute, I hope its normal, is it? - when it stalled the belt squeaked, there wasn't any load on alternator but it did stall when ever the engine went in low rpms but there weren't any squeaks in normal rpms.
What do you think about that?

@Xulfiqar, I got a corolla axio and it gets unstable at high speeds (floaty feel), say after 120 km/h, it was involved in a major accident and since then i refrain from crossing 100km/h mark in it, is there any thing that i can do to get it fixed or it is just something i've to live with ?

On the same note, how/withWhat should we lubricate a bike chain? Can we lubricate it with ATF?

Time for next question lol,
Should we sand the bike/car brake pads and drums while servicing to remove debris from both the surfaces?

ur auto choke is not working (if it is a daily morning issue)
.. belt squeeks as it is of low quality .. when engine stalls most belts do

No, its not a daily morning issu. it (I think) depends on ambient temperature.
The belt is new and was bought the best available at that shop.
