I needed to Know if its possible to reduce or eliminate exhaust smoke and oil burn by using synthetic oil or maybe some other recommended oil or top up.Need some authenticated feedback please.
My spectra has done over 1 lac km.In the morning i smell a tint of smoke burn from the exuast as well a bit of blueish smoke although its more on petrol and less on cna. Rest the car behaves perfectly throws lot of water from the exuast in the morning also which is good. Any advice please....

On our trip t Cholistan

My spectra did 1938 kilometers in Rs, 3,834/- rupees of CNG

The tearrain was varied from motorway to The sand. Ac was used 70% of thetimes with 5 people and full luggage. even had 6 Passengers at one time for travel of 200 Kms.

May Allah keep it going that way for some time to come. Ameen.

Amazing milage Saqib Bhai - Turns out to be 1.97 Rs per km. - MashaAllah...

Most amazing part that you missed out here is that you didn't go slow - touching 160 on motorway once and then coming back from lahore to isb on 130 km/hr through out...

@spectra
have you changed you steering's bushes yet or still orignal one?
i think mine needs a change.

[spectra]

@aref
no suspension part is changed as yet and mashallah basanti is going strong still.

[aref]

@spectra
either i am losing my mind or there really is something wrong with my car.
And i have no idea what that could be.
I seriously need a 2nd opinion on it.
When can you see the car.?
Last friday was a bad day for me...thats y didnt contact you.

[spectra]

I get free at around 6. Will call you tomorrow

[aref]

@spectra

[espectra]

@ spectra
how Come ur specta giiving U Such An Xcelent Avg man :s
Mine give 70k/m (MAX) wid A/c In full TAnk :\

Wat wud be DA REason ?

[c123pk]

@espectra,
If you have twin factory fitted Cylinders then the max. milage with A/C in Karachi city's driving conditions is 85kms/fill (CNG station with full pressure).
Without A/C the max is 100 kms within city.
On SuperHighway its 175 kms without AC @ 100 kms/hour.
With A/C on Highway its 150 kms. (confirmed many times).

For better average change your Air Filter, Spark Plugs and Engine oil and get your CNG kit adjusted.

[spectra]

@espectra

Karachi traffic is the issue because highway average in Karachi is the same as we get here.

[aref]

@spectra
What are the symptoms of a bad steering?
tak tak kinda sound on bad roads?

[spectra]

I ahve got keyless entr system installed in my spectra.

Ghuncha Singh did the installation and Akbargr8 sourced it from KArachi

It has boot lid release option as well and we did a good job of fitting the motor in the boot lid lock

some pics

Ghuncha at work

Messed up wiring

Ghuncha still at work

The remote boot lid release arm and motor placement

There were two holes already placed and no cut up was needed. The motor fitted perfectly without much effort and we can say its a bolt on fit
