I had similar experience with changing timing belt, the whirring sound was so annoying i had to take it to dealership to get inspected. Go to another mechanic or dealership and they will replace or readjust the timing belt, noise comes from the black plastic cover as well as the bearings and over tightening of pulleys.

thnx dear,

Engine down nahi hota. Maximum neechay se crank pulley pull out hogi.tyre khulay ga driving side.otherwise it could be sound of very very bad tappets having too loud sound. You must not he using correct rating oil right?

@Djaymx bahi
timing belt ki readjustment main engine down krna pray ga???

[Djaymx]

Not at all, timing belt k liye sirf pulleys are tensioner assembly remove krni parti hy, jo k engine k side per hoti hai. Fan belts aur Ac belts remove kr k jagha ban jati hai

@Djaymx @abid110 @sleeper
so gone to dealership today, Suzuki central motors
foreman said, its water pump sound,
removed black cover, checked all pulleys and timing belt, all things were in fit condition
replaced water pump assembly, rotated the fan with hands, almost same sound was produced,
engine is sound less once again MASHAALLAH...
water pump was 1500/
gasket: 718/
labor was 2500/
coolant 484/lit
with all taxes 7500 ki watt lag gai muft main

Bhai it was much needed work, you also hired many people today which will give them good bread for their family, so that is always a plus!

[abid110]

If i were you, i must have bought pump from market. Chinese best quality for 1000, GMB for 2500. Labour is around 600-800 here in Karachi. Know as recently i have installed new waterpump in my Baleno which is same as of efi cultus.

@abid110 bahi
experienced banda to mechanic ki wahin kharay kharay waja laita h,
u r rite, in pindi, some good mechanics available,
once i bought brakepads from potohar autos and went straight to garage opposite to that market.
at that time i decided to change them from outside
u wont believe that idiot broke 3 studs
am not expert, dil ki tasali k liye dealership hi jata hn.

one axle is giving sound during left turn only in driving,
steering rotated in steady state doesn't make noise
anyways abi soch rah hun is ko chalata hun, dealership pe 1 axle is around 6- 7k, labor separate
haven't checked from outside so far...

[abid110]

i am sure the waterpump they gave you for 1500 is of Ravi company (Pakistani) which is for 800 or so in open market. regarding your experience, i believe outside mechanics are sufficiently experienced to tackle simple changing of parts like this job of waterpump or brake pads etc. whole engines are being swapped easily by local mechanics so i believe your work at that time was done by some extremely junior level 'chota'. warna there are horror stories of dealership works too.

[Djaymx]

Axle job is plug-and-play, IIRC it costs around 4k for a pair (2pcs) of outer axels, and I had to replace one inner axle as well which costed around 1800 as well.. Labour cost was 700Rs.

Total cost should be between 7-8k

Dealership sells the same Chinese axels with suzuki packaging for 8000/pc and will charge 25-30k for the same job.

[muhammad.1983]

u r rite dealership always over charge koi puchnay wala ni, and with their horror stories also

[muhammad.1983]

bro, any idea of good mechanic for this job in pindi?

[Djaymx]

I'm based in Lahore so no idea about Rwp. You can check other threads for recommendations.
My suggestion will be to find it yourself nearby to your area, I was lucky because the shop i purchased the axle from had their own workshop nearby so it was very convenient as small parts like gaskets, nuts, washers, grease, wd40, silicone grease etc is needed, and they charge accordingly.
