Hello PakWheelers!
I have recently purchased a Honda City 2000 Automatic. The car is in very good condition body wise but the mechanics are not as perfect as I would like them to be. Need some help and advice from experts on what to do and what not to do. I will list down some issues that I have identified (not a pro in this). Engine is changed to 1500cc some 50k kms back I think.
- Car is suffocated on AC, though not very much.
- Transmission switch has jerks, also, when it's on the 1st gear, running very slowly, upon leaving the accelerator, it jerks.
- Fuel average is below 7km/l
- The buttons and switches for the AC are not all working
- Wires are everywhere, hanging, going through unusual places
- Slight leakage happens over my left foot when it's raining, possible body leak?
- Window glasses get stuck even after I have done waxing.
- AC sometimes switches off and on suddenly in a split second. This is with a new relay plug that I got changed just yesterday after the heavy rainfall, older one got burned (no idea why, it was working fine when I parked before the rain)
- Suspensions are awesome but the car vibrates a bit on every speed, more on low speeds. It's like an engine vibration but the whole car vibrates, not just the engine.
- Does the engine move heavily when we switch from P to D4? Mine does, I have seen it.
I like to keep my things, specially vehicles, smooth and in perfect condition, always. Don't have much knowledge about cars and don't want to get fooled by a mechanic. Please suggest what to get done and where to get done from. I am from Karachi, Gulshan-e-Iqbal.
Some works I have gotten done.
- Fuel Injectors replaced
- Throttle body serviced
- General service
- Plugs serviced (they are not iridium ones)
- Wheels aligned and balanced
Thank you in advance for your kind advice and suggestions!
