I took petrol from my bike and poured it in the filter from the opposite side i.e. outlet. Jiggled it and blew it out from the inlet using my mouth Repeated this thing 5 times and then the petrol coming out was green with very minimum impurities.

I checked again, there is no filter near wheel in my vti manual 2005...

EXi Prosmatec 2001. It isn't near wheel. It is attached to fuel tank on the left side.

HellsGuardian 2017-02-27 12:02:01 +0500 #1267

yea i confirmed twice. First when car was on lift and second i laid under the car and saw at spot where yours is (pic for reference) but there is no filter there

zuhaib.naeem (zuhaib.naeem) 2017-02-27 12:53:38 +0500 #1268

That's strange. This is my second 7th gen and the previous one had this filter in the same place. We might need a professional here

Guys michelin xm2 fresh import nahi mil rahe, smuggled mil rahe han 185/65R15. However 195/65R15 is available in imported (end 2016 date) Shall i go for it?
Advan db are also available in 185/65R15.

Japan tyre is quoting 8000 for 195 size... Should i go for it or not?

Experts please tell me how will 195/65R15 affect my mileage and suspension system?

HellsGuardian 2017-03-02 10:02:55 +0500 #1272

So i bought 195/65R15. Tyres have following dates:
4116
4216
4216
4316

He said these are 100% genuine imported but i am uncertain if those really are because he gave me shop warranty (2 year/40,000km). Tyres are made in UK... My friend is saying that it is impossible for smuggled tyres to be just 4-5months old so either dates are tempered or these actually are imported. Is he right? What do you guys think? I will post pics soon

Drive is good though and very smooth at 120kmph

And purany dunlops de kar i paid 29k. He was not ready to reduce price any further. Btw one dunlop tyre was with tube due to side wall damage (i was using it as spare tyre)

ammadd (ammadd) 2017-03-02 15:19:02 +0500 #1273

Congratulations.
What changes you noticed when moving to bigger tyre and can you share car pics with tyre how does it look with 195 tyre.

HellsGuardian 2017-03-02 16:20:33 +0500 #1274

Will share pics on weekend. Well the ride is smooth, soundless and stable but i think it will be same for a new 185 tyre as well.
Theoretically, there should be a slight increase in traction, braking and ground clearance. A slight decrease in mileage expected (but i don't think it will be noticeable as difference in both sizes is very little)

However one thing, since Michelin energy have lower rolling resistance than dunlop tyres so my mileage may actually increase. The tyres are rated: treadwear 420, traction A, temperature A

The only thing i am worried about is if they are tempered tyres...

and i compared gps speed with speedometer and its same.

xain10 (xain10) 2017-03-03 01:48:14 +0500 #1276

and i have never sprayed diesel on rubber parts eversince the car has been in my ownership

HellsGuardian 2017-03-03 09:18:36 +0500 #1277

What is issue with PSP?

Get the shock mounts checked, i think sound is coming from shock mounts.

xain10 (xain10) 2017-03-03 19:37:20 +0500 #1278

leaks oil , stains the porch floor and makes drive extra noisy

xain10 (xain10) 2017-03-03 19:30:27 +0500 #1279

so i need to replace shock mounts only

ammadd (ammadd) 2017-03-03 19:36:45 +0500 #1280

Are you sure it is not the squeaking noise of belt? When does the noise appear? On speed breaker? When AC started?
Get the Power Steering work done and enjoy the drive of civic

xain10 (xain10) 2017-03-03 21:20:13 +0500 #1281

its there all the time the more i rev the noisier it gets
doubtful about the bearing or belt tho

ammadd (ammadd) 2017-03-03 21:37:43 +0500 #1282

If it is related with accelerating it should be belt. It can be any belt
There are 3 Belts AC/Alternator/Power Steering Belt
I will recommend you to check the belt condition if it has cracks. And possibly change them all. I changed mine 2 belts Alternator and AC belt each costed 500Rs (From Saddar Mehran Autos Kashmir Road)

In my case as soon as i started car there was a strange sound. It was a squeaking sound and came all the time when started. More like a mouse in my car. I was literally searching for a mouse if it has entered my car lol. Since i have changed belt never heard that sound again

In your case it could be belt related or bearings on which belt is moving. Show it to a mechanic as soon as possible. It can be a head ache if (god forbid) belt/bearing gives up while driving than you will be stuck..
