Honda City Fan Club

[ahmadbila]

yeah may be honda guys are offering fog lights too, now. its good if they are.i think city wud be the most loaded-with-accessories car in the 1.3l range now.or may be liana still takes the lead cuz it has dvd player etc for long time now. anyways, waiting to see some pix of navi screen.

Salam to all,

Fan belt of my IDSI 2005 is giving sound like cheee in the morning at first start and some time when i on the AC. Is it normal or should i change the belt. Any idea of its price. Guidance from experts is needed especially from IDSI guru Ahmadbilla Bahi.

regards.

• They are not offering "Fog Lights" as standard
• The Navigation/LCD/Back-Camera thing obviously has DVD

Wishing Honda Atlas adds Indian like "Advanced Integrated Audio System" and Swift like some better tyres as standard. If they add a premium variant "City-Vario" featuring Indian like 1.5L engine with paddleshift 5speed AT, Dual SRS (or atleast driver SRS), Nav/LCD/Camera thing as standard, leather wrapped steering with audio controls, chrome sash moldings and door handles etc; this can definitely compete with even upcoming 1.6L Altis [https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/cool-classic-cars-latest/155572-new-corolla-pictures-leaked-2011-a] and also will not hit Civic. Civic is definitely enjoying no competition in 1.8L class!

@ALL
Needs tips + precautions for the procedure of removal of Catalytic Converter from my 2006 idsi !!!!!
currently i am feeling low on pick up below 3k rpm, sometimes even it give up on high slops from idle. Also i m suffering a lil decrease in mileage !
My car is 57k driven all on petrol, no cng yet.

[Legal_rebel]

remove it before it suffocates your engine n weaken it. avoid long drives and rpm above 3k.
now remove it but do install plates in it to stop the direct flow as it can result in malfunction of sensor if there is any resulting in rich fuel mixture. engine noise will be more after 3k. ill give you a contact number of a person in honda who removed my cars cat convertr of new city 09. m happy as it revs with a big mouth now while fuel consumption is same as plates are there to stop the flow n lil bit of sound too in exhaust.

bro first of all, thats not fan belt. there isnt any fan belt fans are not run by seperate motors instead of belts.so this sound can be of two things, either clutch bearing or the belts on the left side of the engine, the charging belt etc. u can do a very small test to see if the belts are squeeling or not.start ur car in the morning, take a little water and throw it over belts.if they are the culprit, the sound wud go out for a second or two.
once diagnosed, there are 3 things u can do.
1st is, change it! that isnt neccessary unless ur car has done tooooo much miles.
the 2nd solution is to apply some grease on the belts.yes, grease.no it wont make then slip.i ve done that countless times with mine.but this is also a temporary fix.the best one is to get the belts adjusted.my mechanic did that for me n i ve go no belt noise for the past 30,000kms. im not really sure what he did but i think he readjusted the placement of generator, moved it a bit to tighten or losen the belt. that fixed it.

well, we ll all love to have such a city (though i believe this DVD thing is better then the integrated audio system). but would u like to pay 16lakh rs for city? i wont! thats the problem with pakistani market.people dont buy cars because they have good features, they buy cars which sell well...!!

u got ur answers.also keep in mind that fuel consumption of ur car might increase.

@Legal_rebel
bro can u also pm the contact number as im also having trouble with CAT in my 09 city.Thanks

[Legal_rebel]

Thanks brother for the reply !
My concern is sound of car, it should sound same as old genuine, 2ndly i m facing lil bit of high consumption now a days, thats y suspecting CC, clogged CC removal should improve mileage or not ?

Thank you for reply and correcting me. Actually that is generator belt. The problem was from the belt and i have, on the advice of an expert, applied a little amount of soap on the belt and now the prob solved.

Tomorrow i'll visit workshop to check that whether the belt needs to be replaced or adjustment.

well, the fuel consumption might even INCREASE after removal of CC.the reason is that the chemical composition on exhaust gases changes and the sensor gives altered readings to the ecu, which then manipulates with the fuel amount etc etc.
i wud say get ur car tuned first, may be its because of a choked throttle body.have u got that serviced?

yeah soap may work too.but its better to get the belts re adjusted , as its will be good for long.

Salamz All,

On saturday I got my fuel tank filled and then strange to me my car started knocking in every gear. Even on 120 KM speed an annoying knocking sound is being heard.

Any idea?? I discussed the same with Ahmad and he replied by saying that it is due to bad fuel. I personally thaught the same way.

Just sharing if any one experienced the same.

Regards,

[stonedsaint]

yes, its due to bad fuel !
