Mehran Experience Tips and suggestions

[muhammad.hamza.shahid]

hm ... i had that doubt already ...

[dr3vil]

anyone can help me? i have a 2005 mehran VXR CNG first owner, 130,000 km driven stock everything not even sound system, recently replaced tyres with yokohama 155/65 r 12, this year it has caused many problems and i nearly spent 50k in 6 months on it including 18k for yokohama, when it was new it worked perfectly fine but now every other day it has some problem, in last 6 months i have changes front wheel bearings 2 times, timing belt for the first time in 130k kms axles 3 times, radiator repaired 2 times front shockers once once clutch and once gear assembly, and now it does that chk chk sound when i drive it in gear, without gear no chk chk, and today again i heard that "KHATTARRRR" sound from axles, the car has always been well managed i mean oil change at 4000 km and stuff. but now it doesn't drives good, i mean not perfect is required but atleast without noises and stuff, this car was in my fathers use who had a daily intercity running of 20 kms, he used for 120k kms and now he has given it to me, help me how can i make it work soundless? we can afford another swift or cultus easily but thats not an option as my parents say " logon ko jelous hoti hai"

main thing is that ur mech is not understanding the problem and for axels never replace whole axels just change the CV joints and man i think mech opned the gearbox so its a fed up i suggest take it to another mch

WAS bro for swap u got limited choices 660cc 12 valve is bolt on fit and with some alteration k6a
but best is to re do the engine
for swap costs are little on high side and u also will need to do EFI conversion for k6a but for 12 valve one its carby in old taxis
and costs will be like 50k
and overhauling will cost less then this but less hassle
and u can buy new head new pistons assembly literary whole engine can be brand new in under 50k that will best quality parts
and normal overhaul will cost ya under 30k with good quality parts

yes i was also thinking about this... all i want is a perfect engine so that it do not disappoint me in trouble. and what is the rough idea of complete suspension redo?

suspension on kharadiya steering box will cost u 600 for repair and 100 for chimtay press but they will work for small time then shocks are filled by kharad guys and made hard cost around 500 to 600
and if u want to replace all stuff then 1800 for steering box and 800 for chimtay and shocks bottles only as springs will be ur own will cost around 1200 to 1500 a pair for front and get some nice soft shocks for a softer ride

Car is making screeching sound when brakes are applied while turning. And in sharp turns, there is always a screeching noise as well as gadhak gadhak sound. The mech told me axel needs to be replaced... should I change it?

salam guyz, any one can guide me why car is giving a bump on low speed? it moves in a vibrating manner olf left and right, i had installed yokohama new and perfectly good tyres like 2,3 months ago, and i dont think it is because of tyres, can it be because of axle replacement i did from shahjee?

AoA,
This is a great thread for people like me. I got a 2004 mehran in april last year. I am a student and this is my first car. I started taking it to university from sep 2013. I have a few concerns about its performance. I hope you guys can help out

1. recently when I accelerate while making a turn, there is tk tk tk sound from the front left side. What is it?
2. For about 6 months I have been hearing kr kr krrr sound inside the cabin. I though it is the relay that is connected beside steering but it is not the relay.
3. the temperature gauge is always below C
4. While shifting to 1st gear I often find it difficult to engage it. Then I have to lift the clutch a little till I hear a slight grinding sound, the press the clutch and put into first.
5. The car never goes above 80kmph on CNG

I am new to this car keeping thingy so, don't know much. Please help and mention the local mechanic names of parts so that I may be able to tell the mechanic. They don't get terms like struts etc.

1 : in your axels check them from any good machenic.
2 : if it;s inside cabin kr krr krrr than there must be something loosen inside your dash do check it but if it;s from engine compartment then this could be your front suspenssion or it can be speedo meter cable.
3 : your temp gauge wire isn't fitted properly do check it.
4 & 5 : pressure and clutch plates needs to be change and also check gear oil and change it .

Yes this is axel fault. normally axels k size me fark hota hay tabhi gari ki chaal badal jati hay ...
