Hi Guys

As you all of you know CNG is almost gone, so shifted back to Petrol. I identified my petrol consumption is 10-11KM/Liter approx in city. On AC it is worst from 7-8Km / Liter. I also observed very high Engine RPM on AC is it normal? I heard it should be around 14-15 without AC and 11Km on AC in city.
I want to understand is their any setting i need to tune from mechanic for Petrol? As some mechanic told me their is no settings in EFI car for CNG and Petrol it automatically adjusts itself. What else i can do to improve my petrol economy.

If it requires some tuning from where i can get them tune in Lahore.

Any suggestions and help will be highly appreciated.

1.check the condition of your air filter
2.get your injectors serviced
3.throttle body service
hope you feel difference after that

What should be ideal Consumption on Petrol. I have 2008 GV prime with very good consumption on CNG that is 125Km without AC and with AC its around 100-110

[rizkhan2010]

same thing i did ( topping up the reduced oil) but after sometime it start raisin other issues as well.. the head gasket damaged >> engine valves damaged ultimately you have to go for the surgery... you cant ignore that problem!!!!

Well you may be correct. However, every case of oil consumption DOES NOT require overhaul. It depends on case to case.
Head Gaskets are damaged mainly due to OVERHEAT which is a completely different issue. Overheat normally occurs due to problems in radiator, thermostat valve malfunction, water pump issues etc.

actually it does not causes head gasket damage but it leads to the circumstances that leads to it.. in mine case decreased oil consumption>>> worn out rings>>> decreased pressure in one cylinder caused damage to the engine valves>>> head gasket bent >>> no proper current supplied by 2 spark plugs 2 the coil and bla bla bla...
its like blood cancer which star affecting one by one all systems of body!!!!

Bro Morani your points about back fire r very much correct.
i just want to add some points
1. Plug Wire problem.
It will rise with both cool and hot engine. Your car will backfire all the times, either ur car is hot or cool. so replacement is the only choice.
2. Ignition Coils
Once ur car engine will be at high temperature and start backfire that means ur ignition coils r weak. there is also an indication of week coils that it will not backfire on cold engine. So replace the coils. there is one more suggestion that once u r changing coils then must change the plug wires as well. i mean change the complete set.
3. Very Very Important point about Back fire
brothers there is very important point to avoid the backfire that there is a particular setting of Tapeds in the engine and most of the mechanics do not know. But 100 % work. If the adjustment of ur tapeds is not up to the standar then it will also cause backfire. Standard setting is
The standard setting of Exhaust tapeds should b at the gauge of 10
The standard setting of Intake tapeds should b at the gauge of 8
So must choose 3rd point at first.

You made a mistake generally no need to change of spring may be the shocks were bad. if you have the original springs with you use them.

Hi Guys.

A serious concerned about Santro Head Gasket drove around 68K . Coolant reservoir(bottle) is apparently reducing water. Where as radiator is fully filled. My mechanic told me that their is chance Head gasket is blown. As far as my knowledge i try to keep eye on heat gauge its never went over heated. Can any one suggest is he correct about Head Gasket? If he is correct what can be other symptoms? And how much cost will be for Head Gasket change? Also any performance issues after fixing. For now my car never gone for any type of Engine Surgery?

replace the head gasket either it is alright or faulty and it doesnt counts in the engine surgery bro dont worry but if you ignore it.. then it will lead you to serious consequences

Hi,

How do you ppl control Air, for the CNG, in my car if i block the air, it works perfectly fine on CNG but on petrol it does hell of knocking and driven sluggishly. if I open the air petrol become fine with very little knocking but it shuts of as soon as switch to CNG mean it dont work on CNG, I have got it tunned from many places including computerized tuning and from Hundai work shop as well. when air is controlled and on CNG RPM behave rough for some time on idle and on signals. same as it is breathing heavily.

what are the suggestions from the experts no back fire issue. throttle is cleaned, tappets are adjusted plugs are new, 56000K on the odo model is 2008. i need it work perfect on petrol as well as CNG without any knocking.

[Rizwan5]

Thanks Bro, any rought estimate for fix of head gasket ?

If only reservoir bottle low its level might be some leakage in the cooling system like hoses, radiator, radiator cap, water jackets. first check for leakages from an expert than go for other options if your head gasket is weak or damaged, the car will heat up & your spark plugs will show the symptoms.
