Hyundai Santro Fan Club

[digitalmohsin]

if radiator fan is direct how much time it takes the heat gauge to reach half mark.in mine case its reaching half after almost 5 mints and on checking upon the upper hose pipe is extremely hot and untouchable.is it normal.

Its very normal.

[digitalmohsin]

i got my radiator fan direct few days ago due to some problem and my car hardly gets heated to half way mark.... the gauge stays at around 20-30% i.e. in center of the distance till half way mark... and when ac is off, the car hardly gets heated the temp statys around 10% level

which is fine as santro has a small red dot at around 35% of temp gauge. It is meant to stay there. if your needle stays there even when fan is direct then you must have thermostat valve in the water/heat system. which is a good thing. i would suggest to make it automatic so that your car reaches normal temperature soon. Dont let your cars temperature go low its very important for engine to work on temperatute of 80 to 100C.

Its very normal.

Finally i own a Santro Executive 2006 now, just moments ago it landed into my garage :P.
Now i am looking for an On-Board Diagnostic Scanning Tool akas "OBD Scanner" for said vehicle. i had a ELM 327 Bluetooth Capable OBD Scanner that use to work awesome with my Honda SX8 and Honda Civic VTI-Pro. I plugged in the same with the Scanner Port beneath Driver's Wheel but it didn't recognize it.
Anyone here have any idea about the brand which works with this particular model, Availability, Price, Reviews.
This is open to all participants of this thread.

even i wanted to buy one scanner but before buying I just looked the connector and the connector in the car was just pluged with 4 wires so this means not much of information can be sourced through the scanner so never got one for myself...

AOA.I am very new to this forum.i am facing a problem in my 2008 santro with 42k milage.one month back my car was reducing almost 150ml water on every 40 km drive from radiator.its acceleration had gone poor in first and second gear.but very good in fourth.now it is reducing almost 300 ml water on every 20 km drive and acceleration getting worse day by day.when i add water in radiator on morning lot of bubbles appear and on pressing upon hose pipes the water level goes down and i add more water in it.my radiator fan is direct and dont know about Tstat valve is in or not.the heat guage remains around 30 to 40 percent without ac.there is some milky type cream arround the oil cap area.plz help me all santro lovers.thanks

get the head gas kit replaced as soon as possible before its too late....
did you experienced any heat ups in the recent past?
when is this reduction in water level started?

well i bought this car 17 months ago when i had no knowledge about cars.when i bought this car the mechanic who was with me did its tuning tb service and oil change.the fan was direct at that time and when i used its ac only once but heat guage reached 70 percent i switched off its ac and never used it again.the car is only used 1200 km since i have bought it.it is reducing water since day one,i have never driven it more than one hour continuosly.and its heat guage has never crossed two dots without ac.its milage is very poor 12km on gas and 7 km on petrol.any advise.

You have been ripped off then. You must must must get the head gas kit replaced asap....
That means the history of heatup is even older then that....

yes you are very right.i really feel depressed and grived when i remember that deal.but one lesson is learnt that dont rely on any body first get you own satisfaction then anything else.anyhow thanks very much brother.

[syedmohsin2k2]

which problem forced u to get the fan direct.

the car was heating up and the temp sensor wasn't turning the fan on at its preset temperature...

i thought the gaskit is gone...
but later on the mechanic changed the fuse/relay in fuse box and the fan started to turn on at preset high temperature and now its working fine...

Check your stereos wiring and do check for lose ground cable and last but not the least check the battery terminals if they have developed any silt on them.

I own a Santro Club 2004. From last couple of weeks, its engine find it hard to get sustainable RPM on idle. Car vibrates and so its engine, very visibly on idle. Some times it turns off while idling. However, it is not misfiring. After drive of about 10 to 15 KM when car is hot, it turns off on every traffic signal I stop. And after this, most of the times car do not even starts again on CNG and I have to drive on Petrol.

I have to keep pressing race paddle to make sure it don't stop.

I got this car checked from at least 5 different mechanics and every one have its own story such as..

1- Weak Coil
2- CNG Wiring Problem
3- Faulty Fuel Injectors
4- IAC Valve problem

All of them did settings and changes but none of them was able to diagnose actual problem I already spent too much on this and in return I am getting nothing.

I am really looking for some PakWheeler to tell me a good mechanic in Karachi who have Santro's scanner and can fix my car.
