Well, the 1st owner had probably trashed the car. Since I didnt know much about cars beyond Suzuki Mehran, I got it!!

I have certainly learnt the hard way, but the lesson will remain.

The car has now done 1500kms since overhaul. Its running fine. Just that it seems to give some trouble at start up when the engine is hot. Any advice? Could it be that the cylinder boring was not done properly, and now that summers have set in, it the metal expands creating trouble in start up? Any opinions?

AoA,

Just a follow up. The engine has done 1500 kms since overhaul. It has gone much more quiet and running great. So far it is running on petrol and doing something like 12kms / lit in the city with A/C. I wonder how good that is? I am now confronted with the thought of driving on CNG. Though I hate the drive on CNG now, but the economy is also important.

Any advise ?

Well overhaul will not be an effect on CNG.. CNG remains CNG... regarding 12km in city it is fine..(Depends on driving style).. Myself had similar issue 6 months ago (white smoke, oil consumption) completely replaced engine from Honda center... It took a lot of wealth but the output is tremendous and satisfying both on CNG and petrol..On long run, it gives me exact 25 km per liter with 100km/h avg speed. Overhaul's are not satisfactory in Honda's due to teflon settings.....

LoL
you think honda company swapped your cars engine in 57000 rupees seriously
and you seriously think they make L12 engine brand new

this is what happens when u drop car keys
and just pick cars and pay the bill. u never know what actually happens

+1. This happened to my friend who dropped his cultus's keys at Suzuki rawalpindi motors for engine overhaul and pick them back after paying 70k. Yes 70k for a cultus engine overhaul.

fawadakbarkhan (fawadakbarkhan) 2013-06-03 18:06:32 +0500 #33

I think THAT's what actually happened, the overhauled the engine completely and told our brother it was a "replacement".

Honda Center guys are such ba$tards, they spray painted my car's whole left side just to match it with the foot board that needed denting and repainting due to hit with footpath.

fawadakbarkhan (fawadakbarkhan) 2013-06-03 18:09:33 +0500 #34

lolz he must have banged his head in a wall to death after realizing what he did.

However, the guys at Modern Motors Rwp, just opposite to honda centre on Mall Road rwp are nice and sort of "halaali" people, I had to leave my car once or twice for some denting painting job and suspension work, the quality was really good and satisfactory.

Toyota Rawal motors is also one big deep shitty den for such cheater dump craps.

When I asked him why did you pay such amount for a cultus engine overhaul? you could easily get an whole EFI engine in lesser price. He was like it's company. Nothing matches with their workmanship. I was like okay, Good for you..

Haroonhameed19 (Haroonhameed19) 2013-06-04 10:13:11 +0500 #36

Could you please explain 'lean'? I am not privy to such terms. Thnx

arabianmalik (arabianmalik) 2013-06-11 15:39:09 +0500 #37

Sorry bro. it's an assembly swap not whole engine....

arabianmalik (arabianmalik) 2013-06-11 15:42:01 +0500 #38

Hashu sb, wo zamana gaya jab loog aise keys drop kar ka jate tha...

Anyways, i was at honda center peshwar road the whole time, and they swapped it with a brand new assembly imported from Thailand. and i can gurantee, you won't find such a piece in whole pakistan, (as the honda ppl claim)

rebuilding a honda engine would easily cost you 50,000 rupees if done through regular workshops(and parts from open market)
Honda 3S would easilly charge 80-90k for a rebuild
do check the block code of the swapped block
is it L12A or
L13 (L13 would clearly mean it was arranged from local junk market/mithu khan saddar)

arabianmalik (arabianmalik) 2013-10-01 18:23:53 +0500 #40

It was a L12A, Honda center showed us the container through which it had arrived from thailand, If you just open the oil cap, you may view inside that it was never used to pour oil inside...

Anyways, my advice for guys having honda city 2005+, never go for a rebuild, always causes issues, go for a assembly or enginer swap...
