Diesel engine health

Buy new shims for adjustment of valve clearances.....those grinded valve clearances Don't last long due to loss of hard coating on shims.....also check that pump is not advanced and cold start device is not at stuck position........check thermostat valve is present for optimum temperature of engine....

Phir mechanic was not good for the job. Aur agar wo one of the best mechanic tha tau phir this time go for a kabli engine. They will give you 15-30 days garantee as well if seller "knows" his enine.

My 2od is driven 260,000km. Is that high millage for an engine? I don’t want to change the engine because it’s nunber matching with the car. Any idea how much the kabli is going to cost me?

[jibrankhan7200]

It takes a little longer to start when cold. 2 to 5 seconds delay. The mechanic said that the sellf is alright and the battery is also okay.

Check glow plugs also known as heaters.. do check compression of engine before the next tear down

[mshoaib432722]

I think its a high mileage. Better to go for kabli. Number changing is not a problem. Take the receipt of new engine etc to excise office and they take some 2000 fee and update the new number on car book. Its completely legal process.

[Mirza967]

It's normal for diesel to do this..... anyhow u can check glow plugs

[Mirza967]

This is not a very high mileage for diesel

i was guessing that its fuel consumption and not oil pressure !!

don't bust me that it is fuel gauge & temp gauge in picture?
post complete cluster picture & accept my kiss over your shoes.
to me it is oil & temp gauges you posted

[Mirza967]

Bhai it's oil pressure.....not consumption.........the oil pressure will be high on cold coz of thick oil....as it warms up.....oil becomes thin and pressure drops.....show me ur whole cluster......and I will tell which thing tells what

[jibrankhan7200]

Any idea about a good diesel laboratory in Islamabad or Rawalpindi?

[jibrankhan7200]

Any estimated cost of the kabli engine?

[jibrankhan7200]

Will do

[mshoaib432722]

The voltameter is reading correct.. the middle line in 12v battery nominal voltage.. on ignition preheat kicks in adding load that drops the voltage a bit.. once started the charging from alternator is keeping the needle at 13.8v

your cluster ground connection is corroded. check for firewall ground 5mm wires connected to engine block / head with 10 mm bolts with firewall closest to the engine .. that drives the cluster negative directly behind it
