Dear fellow members
Approximately 5 months ago i bought a used Cultus VXR-2007 model. At that time the car was running well without any issues, no smoke and no reducing oil issues.
Then in recently took my car for a couple of visits to Islamabad. After that there has been emission of smoke and reduction in oil issues. The clutch and tires also need to be replaced. I have been informed by couple of mechanics that my car needs a complete overhaul.One mechanic has given me an estimate of 25k-30k( without clutch) while another has given me 40k(with FCC Clutch, bearing and wire).
I have been considering different options as i am a student and can't afford to waste time and be ripped off.
So i kindly need your experienced advice on following matters:
1) Can the car survive without the overhaul for a couple months?
2) If so, then can it be run with ac?
3) Which is more beneficial engine swap or engine overhaul?
4) Cost in case of engine swap.. if opting for an efi engine and procedure for legal documentation
5) cost of engine overhaul? with all new parts.
6) any expert mechanic for cultus you advice me off?
7) Running period and best weather for engine overhaul.
or any other expert opinion you want to enlighten me with.
I will be looking forward to your replies
Thank You
