[agoodfriend]

AoA,

I am a big admirer or your work especially with restoring the Cultus. I have 2006 non efi cultus. the problem is the same that every one is facing now a day i.e. fuel consumption on petrol. i have been using it on cng now tuned it on petrol including timing adjustment and air block removed. butterfly and head work has also been done. still it is barely managing 10/ltr in city of course without AC an with RPM at 3000 max. My macanic said that he has adjust petrol at the lowest possible value. I know Carby cars specially cultus is not very famous in fuel consumption still i think i should get at least 12 km in city without ac.

Need your expert advice regarding it.

[agoodfriend]

you talking about the fuel guage sensor or the needle ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,guage sensor is always located inside the fuel tank ,,,,,,,,,if you havent use your car on petrol during CNG era then may be it catch rust and need to replace ,,,,,,,,,,,,,and that needle and assambly behind it,,,,,,i dont think you can find it new,,,,,,,,,,you may need to search some kabli/used,,,,,,,,,

I second this issue. I have same model. Although I am getting 12Km in city but its with a light foot and all.

@agoodfriend what should we expect from mileage?

Also, my cultus's fuel gauge is faulty. I cannot find it anywhere. Where can I get one?

[agoodfriend]

just one suggestion for those guys who recentelly shift from CNG to petrol,,,,,,,,,,,,,,remove all the air blockage in air filter,,,,,,,and if posible pull the cylider out from car to shed some extra weight ,,,,,,,,,,i observe batter throttle response after remove all the air blockage ,,,,,,,,,,,,

Treat it as if you just brought in a Zero meter car. 1000km on light foot and no AC, without putting any extra load.

helo PW , today i calculate the fuel consuption of my 07 CUltus VXR ,,,,,,,,,,this car is on my brother's daily use,,,,,,,,,,,,,its completelly stock,,,,,,,,,,no alteration no modification,,,,,,,,,,mentainance totally done by me from day one and no one has even open its bonnet other than me ,,,,,,,,,,,,carb is totally untouch never been open,,,,,,,,,,,,and till now engine is in sound condition ,,,,,,,,,,compression pressure is all ok,,,,,,,,,,,,no sigh of any oil consuption,,,,,,,,,,,leak piston rings , valves , quides , valve seals , head gas kit , its been driven on havoline 20w-50 since day one ,,,,,,till now it easily touches 120km on CNG but these days i am using it only on petol,,,,,,,,,,,but all that doent mean that car wont need any further mentaince and mechnically its in tip top condition ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,yes it need to replace timing belt , plugs , plug leads , distributer cap and rotor and ofcourse carb need cleaning and acording to my experence its running rich,,,,,,,,,and also ignition timing which is not spot on ,,,,,,,,,,,
and yes tires are also not stock and not balanced and last night i forget to mentain the air pressure and i am sure all these things effect on fuel consuption ,,,,,,,,,,,,
another thing i must say is that there will be some air pockets left inside the fuel tank even if you fully toped it just as i did,,,,,,,,the more acurate reading can be find if you attach an auxiliary fuel pumps and a seperate fuel cell or bottel ,,,,,,,,,but all that is not safe and need some precautions,,,,,,,,,,one i have done that on mehran and i got 19Km/L with in city,,,,,,,,but its carb was not stock,,,,,,,,,,,i have change its main fuel jets,,,,,,,,,,you can do that on mehran because it has a mechnical fuel pump attach near distributer ,,,,,,,,,,and here in my case i need to buy a electric fuel pump just for this purpose and wire it up,,,,,,,,all that need lot of time ,,,,,,

ok so thats a littel intro of this on ,,,,,,,,,,,i fill the tank to its mouth,,,,,,,,,,,,and use it next day on my daily routine ,,,,,,,,,,,travelled 36.5km and refil the tank again with measuring flask,,,,,,,,,,it add 3.4L before it topup exzactelly at the same level,,,,,,,,car driven between twin cities,,,,,16Km with 2 passangers and 16 Km with 4,,,,,,,,,,i got around 10.7 Km/Litter on this car ,,,,,,,,, condition of this car is as above mentioned ,,,,,,,,,engine is demanding for some tuning as you know till now nothing has been done on this car ,,,,,,,,i remember one i service it distributer and thats the first and last mentaince till now ,,,,,,,,,,,,,hopefully will find some time soon and tune it so that i can add some more km/L ,,,,,,,,,,

@agoodfriend I have some rattling sound coming from front right wheel whem the car is moving and it stops as soon as i put my foot on break, even if I just press it lightly. What can it be?

In my opinion Goddas are fine since on turns i dont hear any Tuk Tuk Tuk sound.

Brother I wont know how to explain this in technical term but the bushings in your brake disk are out of order.
I think its related to your brake because the rattling stops as soon as you put your foot down.

@agoodfriend hello, I cannot find a PCV valve in Islamabad. All people tell me to visit Sultan da Khoo but I am too far away and dont want to burn precious fuel and time. Is the PCV valve not available in sectors anywhere? Also what is the model or type of PCV valve of cultus if I do really need to go to Sultan da khoo.
