Hi All,

I need a bit of advice from you regarding Santro.

Around a week or so Ago, I noticed that the noise coming from engine increases significantly, specially if the car goes to 60 & beyond, I have a hunch that the problem might be related to gears, but I am not really sure & neither do I have lot of car knowledge.

I believe the car might be due for a throtle body service & plug cleaning etc, cause the idle engine is not as smooth as previously experienced and the sluggish response to throttle.

Car has been driven 70K, no oil reduction, smoke or anything, I generally drive with a light foot.

Secondly, I am planning to change the front brake pads, which brand / place to buy from & any idea about prices.

A friend of mine checked from Hyundai I-10 & they said 3500 odd for front brake pads, which I believe is insanely expensive.

Would appreciate if you help / guide me.

@Islamian

First of all get your car tuned from Hyundai 3s they clean all sensors and throttle body as well. They might be able to point out the noise thats coming from engine....

refer to this thread for disc pads info

Might be a wheel bearing, check it from any mechanic, he will even not charging you for checking, you car will be jacked up only from one side (one front wheel), then put your car in 3rd gear and race, the tire will goes upto high speed and they will notice the noise coming from wheel, then the other side, if the culprit is wheel bearing you will be told accordingly. may be only one bearing has to be changed.

help!

iamadee (iamadee) 2011-09-30 06:06:22 +0500 #1432

its behind sajjad motors on the jail road lahore...

iamadee (iamadee) 2011-09-30 06:12:11 +0500 #1433

Your sentence is in complete please provide more details.
1. before replacing what?
2. Is the RPM low on gas or petrol?
3. for consumption how is your route, crowded or a straight road, is it with or without ac?
4. Get your ac checked by some reputed ac service guy. i dont know any in khi if u were in lahore i might have referred y to any i know.
4. The slow pick with ac is related to both cng tunning and the condition of compressor itself.

hope it helps.

iamadee (iamadee) 2011-09-30 06:13:32 +0500 #1434

i havent seen any cluster of santro with rpm. if u want 1 go for the after market one.

iamadee (iamadee) 2011-09-30 06:19:12 +0500 #1435

immad I,m not very sure about ur problem but first thing first
1. try to get hold on a genuine pump from bilal gunj (Kabli).
2. always keep your tank filled 1/4th dont let it go below that.
3. make sure if you have cng installed, when you switch to cng your fuel pump should stop working, get a relay or cutout whichever applicable installed from any good electrician.
Following these steps will surely resolve your problem.

Got both of the axles of my santro replaced today since they started making noise after the rain season.
My bad i didnt inspected the boots earlier so resulted in this blunder. Got kabli genuine axles for 5k (both left and right). Hope they perform fine....
Looking for input about the price of the kabli axles....Is it ok or i am robbed....

Horse_rider (Horse_rider) 2011-09-30 10:21:04 +0500 #1437

My santro also has started noise of Grrrrr Grrrrrrrr on grainy road, on smooth road it is fine. i think i should also replace Axles, can yo please share pictures, and price of new one? how to inspect in case of Kabli parts that it is not repaired or much used? thanks

Horse_rider (Horse_rider) 2011-09-30 10:23:49 +0500 #1438

another question, my santro does 148 KMs without AC in Islamabad filled in Rs. 465. is it okay? i have checked twice for the last two refilled, and the average was 148 KMs. so this time it is exact mileage noted by me.

iamadee (iamadee) 2011-09-30 10:50:27 +0500 #1439

The tick tick sound on turnings usually refers to axles, as in my case. You should consult any good mechanic for the grrr grrr sound you are experiencing.

Sorry but i took no pics and i had no options but to trust the shopkeeper for it being kabli and genuine, he offered me a 6 months warranty though..

The mileage you are referring too is pretty high for me (benefit of potohar region i guess) i normally get around 100km max w/ 50L cylinder mix a/c.

Horse_rider (Horse_rider) 2011-09-30 12:46:21 +0500 #1440

Yes the sound is also coming when i steer either side. its mean mine axles also gone, and need to be replaced.

did you changed any other parts, i.e. boots, bushes etc... and how much the mechanic charged?
