Aoa everyone, so I purchased a 2004 model mehran recently and I've observed the following issues:
- A lot of white smoke when the car starts up (like boht zada) and then continuous smoke in smaller quantities when the car is running. The smoke has a very oily type smell.
- Maximum speed that the car will go to is 90-95km/hr (the car is on CNG0
- The car doesn't seem to overheat too much. The needle goes to about half point when it's extremely hot after running around 50km but if I stop the car and wait a while the needle goes back down.
- The car is eating up a lot of oil. I have to refill 10-50w oil regularly.
- When I open the radiator cap, the water seem to be very muddy (brown).
- When it's cold (like after a rainy night now a days in Islamabad), the car simply refuses to start. It cranks (sulf) but doesn't start. The car only starts after the temperature rises (like dupehar ke waqt)
Can anyone senior try to diagnose the problem here. If the engine is finished, would a better option be to overhaul or swap? What are the rates? And can anyone recommend any honest mechanic in Islamabad who could diagnose the car in detail and provide overhaul/swap service if needed in reasonable rates? Thank you in advance guys, this is my first car so looking forward to your replies.
