I have suzuki alto 2006 model it's stearing is quite hard as compared to mehran/Cultus. What is the reason behind it?

[UAHMAD]

@Xulfiqar If speedometer cable is again and again giving trouble of an auto transmission vehicle, can we replace it with a speed sensor (of another vehicle) and wire it to the TCM?

Will it work as expected and what shall be its impact on gear shifting?

Vehicle is old and without ABS.

Please guide.

I have Honda civic exi (2006), for the last couple of days, I am also hearing a slight sound (like karrrr) -- I can hear it clearly when the car is around 2100-2300 rpm .

The one who's workshop is in the house, if yes, he is educated and an honest gentleman.

sir am sorry about Honda it is not my league.
@Hassan1991 @ser_gtr @dani_kk can be of your help

[Hassan1991]

what is the service history of your car.
you have to explain more about sound. is it related to engine or body etc.

@Xulfiqar sir, is diesel engine worth overhauling?

[capsat]

@s-tech sir please go through this thread of diesel engine DIY rebuild

[Xulfiqar]

as long as the wave frequency can be the same, it can be done. e.g. some cars have 4 pulses per 360 degrees of rotation, while some have 10 or 16.

Car ride is very smooth, no oil/coolant decrease -- three months ago, timing belt broke after a jerk --- got the work done by a Honda mechanic (timing belt, valves, seals -- genuine) --- last month got clutch/pressure plates, bearings replaced.
and yes, few days ago, auto fan stopped working, got the job done.

I am sure it's the engine and not the body.
around 2200 rpm it makes sound.

I think I remember, you have helped me b4 as well when I purchased this car two years ago (it was with fuel pump, the one under the seat).

Regards.

@capsat thank you for your prompt response.
A few days ago, I came across the link and went through a few initial posts but dropped it - I'm not the guy who could even perform a bicycle DIY repair even if I wanted to.

Is it worth taking your diesel car/jeep to a local auto workshop for engine overhaul/rebuild?

[aziz.rehan]

How is body condition.u have saloon or simple one

[S-Tech]

It's in original color except bumpers. Stock and sealed engine with all company fitted accessories. It was all ok until recently (no engine blow, smoke or noise) when I flushed the engine twice and used same oil grade and after a few thousands miles all issues started popping up after one another.

[UAHMAD]

Thanks for the reply.

I think if VSS and speedometer used for this conversion are both coming from the same vehicle then we can have the same wave frequency.

I shall try getting this done and report the results here.
