Liana owners & fan club

[car_bus2008]

@zank Bro now the problem is solved of my Liana of AC but still i want to know why the radiator pipes of car are swollen like hell.They are just that they will burst in to pieces in a moment.

Today Changed the Radiator cap of my Liana with a Sankei Radiator cap but still no luck pressure built into pipes dont know what is the problem.

Main problem now: Swollen Radiator Pipes rest car is in A1 Condition after AC gas charging.

my range is 6lacs max, which version of Liana would i get in this range? i heard Liana LXI is best till date (VURV is out of my range). If you can suggest any other car that is trouble free in this range, pls do let me know. I have had vitz 2001 and recently sold cuore. Now i need car with trunk and 1300cc engine preferrably.

I don't think you can get a well maintained LXI CNG in 6lacs. if you want to go for liana go for after 2007 models. In 6 lacs i think its hard to get even a cultus VXRi.

Yarr meri Liana ne Matt marr di hai meri pata nai kya ho gya hai isei.Samaj nai araha i will meet you soon and will let you know what kind of works i have done on my Liana.

Day before yesterday i spent Rs 2780 on my Liana for mechanical and Ac works.

Today again for Spark plugs=RS 1150.

For Engine Oil+Air filter+Oil filter+Radiator Cap=Rs 2400

I think you should take an opinion from a good reputed 3s dealer there must be one in Islamabad.

Just go ahead with Liana if you don't have to go to villages & don't drive much on uneven roads very often or resale is not an issue.
If well tuned & maintained, Liana's fuel consumption on Patrol is 11-13 Ltr/km in city & 16-17 Km/Ltr on long (once I got 17.1 Km but 16.5 is average). Tested many times & you may check with other owners too like imadee & Skill. Whenever I refill the gas tank I reset the ODO to see the mileage, on this Tuesday, the mileage was 192.5 & still there was CNG when I got it refilled. All the 192.5 Km were driven within RWP/Isb. I will take a pic of ODO before next refill & will post here. Let's see what I get this time. It has FF 2 cylinders of 30ltr each.

Don't know much about mileage of Cultus, you may have to ask to a cultus owner.

My Liana never gave me above 130km on CNG 100% AC even waiting for some one like 15-20 minutes. 192km is really impressive i think you have swapped it with 660cc engine

Nae nae 660cc swap se pehle original engine bhi yahi milage deta tha :D. You are welcome to drive & check it urself lekin cng ap khud fill krwaen ge (kidding) :p. The mileage i mentioned above is without ac & its ff cng kit is replaced with aftermarket.

some of the guys are recommending Liana and some of them are stopping me buying it. I have just sold Cuore and not only looking for car with trunk/1300cc but a TROUBLE FREE CAR, dont have enough time and money to waste on mechanics, thats y pls share your opinions if i can get other cars that wont bother me under 6lacs. I never preferred Suzuki, its just am short of funds these days.

All the cars have problems if not maintained well or are messed up by mechanics. Corollas r well known as maintenance free all over the world. But they as well wen start teasing someone...... will tease the hell out.

Skill (the owner of lfc) can guide in a more convincing way but he is away somewhere i guess nowadays. Finding a good liana is by luck and experience...... show the car to any experienced lfc member here b4 buying. Pakwheelers r helping by nature. Take advantage.

thanks Dr. you're very much helpful. I have now shifted my direction towards baleno jxr 2005 or city exi 2002/3. After a hard experience with cuore, am scared of trying another luck. But i will do post here if i get one good baleno or city in this range.

Baleno is good in having 100hp and is lighter.... but the coil system is the same in liana n baleno. I mean same coils in both. Dnt know about mechanics of the coils if any change. The budget range ll get higher i guess for city. City i ve heard is slowwwww. No experience of city. But i ve kept baleno b4 liana only for 3 to 4 months. Anyone else suggest him baleno here ? ? ? Or technology is similar in each ? ? ? Expertssssssss ? ? ?

You are right dr sb baleno and liana share the same ignition coil system, so id recommed go for a clean liana it sure will be less older then a baleno and I feel its smoother then baleno too.

Well, interesting...
Could be your cooling system is creating too much pressure, way out of normal. Though when the car reaches its optimum temperature, the hose pipes get a bit tight due to the pressure (you can feel the change if you try to squeeze that). It is a sign of circulating the collent as well as functioning of T-Stat.
But that doesn't mean it gets swollen the way you are telling.
Make sure your cooling system is free of trapped air and is not sucking air from the bottle as well.

One possible thing could be, with constant washing of rubber pipes with Diesel and other harsh chemicals (usually the Car Wash stations do that), the pipe loses its core strength. If that is so you feel, better to get them changed as they will explode one day as they become weaker in strength to hold.

[rickvanholden]

Thanks sir!
But i have heard lot of problems and nightmare stories about liana and its weird problem, why liana has very low resale value, there must be some reason behind it :S

You are in the Liana Fan Club. No one here will tell you there's a 'reason behing it'. Go to the Corolla Fan Club on Pakwheels and post there. . . oh wait. . . THERE IS NO COROLLA FAN CLUB!!!!!

Okie dokie. Something I am unable to identify.

1. Somewhere from the passenger door there is wind coming into the cabin at high speeds. I can hear it. I opened up the whole f@#$% door and at the end noticed that the rubber lining is loose from the top (under the roof) on the body. The door lining seems fine. I added loads of glue, and its stuck in place, but the sound is still there.

2. There is a sound coming from under the car (of in front, I cannot identify) on bumps (even minor ones), as if something is loose or broken, some metal part. It sounds a LOT like a hanging silencer, but I checked myself under the car, the silencer is solid.

Anyone?

For the second problem, go to a good alignment shop & ask him to check the following:

1- Lower arm(chimta) nuts first, if they are loose, then only tightening them & alignment/camber adjustment will be enough to solve ur problem.
2- Lower arm(chimta) bushings, both small & large bushing to be checked properly.
3- Check the steering ends & any ply in steering column.
4- Check both Axles(goda), any ply etc or if axles are loose externally.
5- Check all rubber boots.

Checking & inspection is free of cost & if problem is found he will ask you to get the suspension work done & come back again for alignment. Checking is free of cost OK.

Thanks. I'll go tomorrow. Another question. I've been made an offer for my FF CNG system plus cylinder (Lxi 2007). Is 40,000 ok? Buyer says this is subject to re-certification by the government.

[iamadee]

re-certification by the government

What dose that mean here......
