hi guys! ihave a problme plz need ur suggestions.
my city is 70k driven and the engine is so noisy the sound is just lyk loose tappet sound but the tappets are absoloutly fine.its very noisy in morning and especially whn the weathr is cold but whn the engine gets hot the sounds goes too(not completly) . One of the mechanic advises me to chnge the grade of the oil currently m using 10w40. the mechanic thnks that thick engine oil might solve my prblm but i thnk im currntly using a bit thkr oil becuase whn engine gets hot the sound gets lessen so it means that whn engine oil gets hot it becomes less viscous and move easily. now i would lyk all the experts too help me.. should i go for 20w50 or 10w30?

keep using 10w40. its thin enough for winters. honda city is prone to noise issues from the tappets area. it wont harm the engine. if u use thinner oil, it might get too thin after it gets hot. 10w40 is good for summers too.

Hi All,

I am intrested in a SINDH number vehicle. I checked online about it's status. Currently its showing owner as Bank Islami. Two things confusing me :-

1) how i transfer that car to my name.
2) Safe Custody column on online verification shows this text " Purchasers are adviced to contact MR Wing for avoiding dispute on the subject vehicle ".

Can anybody of you help me. What that text is actually reffering to?

Your help in this regard will be appreciated.

@ahmadbila Any progress on that engine noise. I showed it to mechanic and he said its from intake manifold, there is "jali" in it which vibrate with intake air gush and to me his statement do carry weight. He also said its harmless if u keep driving like this and is a common
problem in xli which is normally resolved by replacing the intake.

intake manifold? theres nothing in the intake manifold that can cause sounds. what kind of noise u are referring to n what exactly did ur mechanic tell u?

ASSALAM O ALAIKUM TO ALL.

I have recently joined the city club, bought 30k driven 2008 IDSI. I need expert opinion/recommendation about selection of in dash DVD Player with Nav Sys and reverse camera. I have searched market, Premier, Rockmars and Dellson are available. Many sellers have tried to convince me that Premier DVD Player quality,warranty and Nav(Sygic) etc is better than others.

Please advise Rockmars 6221 or Premier 7500G or any Dellson and how to select camera with nite view?Any specific camera model/company. Final budget is 30k.

Thanks in advance

I heard a mechanic telling me the same story but he said its the exhaust manifold thats making noise. I dont know how true is that but it is a story.

Regarding tappet noise issue. I was shocked when I brought myself a feeler guage and at that I concluded that 90% of the mechanics dont know what clearances are. In pakistan almost all of them tune the tappets at 0.010 inch for intake and 0.012 for exhaust. They dont even know that there are different feelers for each of them. What they do is set the feeler at 0.010 inch and for intake the set the clearance when its tight and for exhaust set it when its loose. The oem for idsi are 0.007-8 for intake and 0.010-12 for exhaust. I know that its not that much but this much difference can cause some issues. But I dont have enough juice to do the punga myself on my car.

Well, i agree that most mechanics dont know what they are doing but some do! the readings taken from the owner manual dont always work. i remember, long ago a member reported that he set his tappets according to the values given in the manual n his car went from bad performance to pathetic performance. experience cannot be beaten. we, at home, with all the knowledge sometimes, cannot tune our cars as gud as even desi road side expert mechanics can! actually the conditions in which we drive our car are far from perfect. so the cars require tuning which is far from the book. or atleast not 100% same as the book...

[rustam54]

True. This all is because of lack of technical education. The mechanic is not actually completely wrong though.

What they do is they compensate for other discrepancies in engine. For example, if your valves are recessed in the seat, having the same clearance will result in less valve lift. This may be observed under highway conditions. So what they do is they tweek the parameters so that vehicle keeps on going in the city drive.

And we all know (or have a phobia) that opening the head would result in expenses and we need quick fixes at times. This mentality is what they cash.

This all could be avoided with only the know how of how to use, compression gauge, vacuum gauge (it can do wonders if properly read) and an oil pressure gauge. Plus the excessive use of a torque wrench. The whole concern in public that "an opened head can never be factory like" will only then be rectified.

[phaisee]

can i use liqui moly (mos2 gear) in my honda city 08 70 k driven to reduce the transmission sound and also for smoothness in gear shifting. coz i have read in dfrnt threads here on pakwheels that its a very good product and also read its product data sheet in whch they clearly mention that it will surely reduce the tarnsmission noise.. have u people ever used liqui moly in ur car? should i go for it?

[Engrsahab760]

Thinking to change the meter led to white of city 05 wat say experts easy procedure
any hassle would be made by electrician or just open and get the work done type?

Its better to buy an optitron speedometer like steermatic city instead of going thru this hassle.

optitron meter of steermatic manual is very rare and expensive also

changing led is of not more than 500rs i think.....

never tried it. if u car is auto, DONT try it! use on OEM honda. if its manual, go ahead n experiment with it. manual trannys can easily take a lot of stress (in case the oil is not the right product for it)
