Queries about City 2003's maintenance

[OvaisAlam]

Okay, thank you for replying with details again

[OvaisAlam]

Thank you for sharing the manual and for all informative replies.
If you have more tips, please do share.

Do you know about any good mechanic or workshop near PECHS/Kashmir Road then please do share the details.

[Salmaanawan]

No problem. I am not familiar with the area, however Jameel Autos is quite famous and recommended by PakWheelers. It is in your vicinity.

[OvaisAlam]

New mechanic kay paas ja kr bhi dekh lia. He's recommending 20W-50 too by saying gaari kaafi porani hai, 10W-40 daalo ge to engine "uraana" shuru krdega oil.
The guys selling engine oil (for years) said same thing too.

Confused kay kia kia jae

[Salmaanawan]

The guy repairing cars for 40 years plus (kaala khan, saddar) put Automatic Transmission Fluid in my car's power steering pump and ruined it. A jaana maana elektishan of phase 2 put 100/95W bulbs instead of company spec 60/55W in my city because which the electronics are acting weird now, a mechanic checked my failing master brake cylinder and said it is in jenyan condition.
Switch to 10W40, keep an extra 1 liter bottle at hand. If it reduces oil then keep on topping it up, if it doesn't use the one liter bottle in your next oil change, your car's performance will only improve if it doesn't you'll have spare 1 liter oil.
If you want to listen to your mechanic then go ahead, none of us are profiting off of any of your decisions like mechanics do bro, we are just putting options infront of you with the transparency of risks being involved, here the benefits outweigh the risk, it's upto you to take the risk. Before I bought my city 20w50 was being used, now it runs fine on 10w40.

Maine aaj tak mechanic ki har baat suni hoti to meri saari gaariya gadha gaariya bani hoti, dusro ki gaariya chalayi hai to yakeen se keh sakta hu.

[OvaisAlam]

Okay, I am opting for 10W-40 now. Waise bhi, mechanic 'ustaad' hotay jugaaru hi hain chahay kitne experienced ho jaen.

Will use Total Quartz 10W-40 now.

[Salmaanawan]

Aap tasalli k lie tappet cover aur oil pan ki seal dikha de ache mechanic ko trust worthy. 10W40 use karke dekhle phir, agar 20w50 nai kam karti to 10w40 kam karne k boht kam chances hain. Best of luck.

[OvaisAlam]

Hahahaha, agreed 🤝
One of my friend once goes against the mechanic's recommended 'settings'. Mechanic said kay gaari bohat missing karay gi aur bohat tang kre gi ab, lekn bilkul smooth chalti rahi woh. Baad main khud hi kehta hai kay kabhi kabhi sahi bhi chal jaati hai machine hai

Knowledge IS power.

[Salmaanawan]

Yahi hota hai ovais bhai. Saare mechanic ider aap ki gaari pe sirf tajarbay kar rahe hote hain aur zada tar kisi k paas automobile se related kisi kism ki education nai hoti, issi liye ye forum boht kaam ki cheez hai taake log knowledge haasil kar sake aur misguide na ho local mechanics se.

[OvaisAlam]

Tappet adjustment krwaani zaroori hai? Iska faida kia hai?
Net per search kia to mukhtalif positive/negative response milay hain isliay kuch khaas samajh nahi aaya.

Spark plugs abhi hi change krwa loun ya ruk jaoun thora? Iskay bhi bohat mix reviews milay hain kay 1400-1500 laga kr koi faida nahi hai.

Waise In Sha Allah friday ko ik jannay walay achay mechanic kay paas jaegi gaari, kia kia krwa loun (neechay ki list kay elawa)?
- Engine oil change (Total Quartz 10W-40)
- Air filter change (Guard kay)
- Oil filter change (???)
- Tuning
- Radiator clean (replace with Aisin coolant)
- Break oil change if required (replace with Seikken Dot 3)

Bhai valve agar tight hue ve ho to valve sai se bandh nai hoge aur engine ki power pe effect parhega. Loose ho to khar khar awaaz ati hai aur valve damage b hosakte hai. Nayay engines mai adjust karne ki zaroorat nai parhti, porane engines mai phir hoti thi zaroorat, agar koi awaz nai arai unse to sahi hai, likin agar boht time se nai hoi to karwa le saath saath nayi seal b lag jaegi. Is bande ki kaafi baate awai hoti hai per ye dekh le yaha ye adjust kar raha hai https://youtu.be/x0H7CP2QLxA

Sparkplugs ki condition dekh k pata chalega aapko wo, waise sparkplugs last a LONG time, mechanic bewakoof banate hai har do oil change k baad change karne ko keh k. Bus spark plug correct hona chaye uper maine naam type kiya hai.

Air filter mai leppon ka lagata hu, oilfilter honda ka apna, koi b achi quality ka leke chala le aap.

Tuning mai Throttlebody (uske saath iacv k sorakh mai jo throttle body ki butterfly k paas hoga nasa carb cleaner), injector cleaning (machine se), fuel filter change (choke hota aapka fuel filter).

aur PCV valve ki location oil filter k peeche hogi, uski b video ka link dia hai maine uped, ye tuning mai included nai hota per marzi hai karwana hai to karwa le, kaafi neglected hota hai pcv valve in gaariyo mai usse koi nai poochta.

Brake oil dark brown matti k color ka hai to saare brake lines bleed karwa k seiken dot 3 dalwa le. Log guard b use karte hai its good, per aik dafa ka he kaam hai lamba chalta hai to mai seiken dalta hu.

[OvaisAlam]

Thank you for your detailed response again. Machine nahi hai us mechanic kay paas to baaqi kaam In Sha Allah krwa lounga main.

Battrry masla kr rhi hai bohat aur check krwanay per pata laga kay almost dead hai.
Battery aur terminal change krwanay hain. What are some good options?
AGS dry cell 65 AMP sahi hai? Daewoo main suna hai bohat complaints aa rhi hain

[Salmaanawan]

Bhai battery waise to is gaari mai originally bahar countries mai DIN style ki aati hai, uske jo terminal hote hai wo thore andar hue ve hote hai. Per honda k beghairto ne isme company se wo tak nai di, to battery laga k bonnet dekh bandh karna. DIN type battery aap ko mushkil hai mile aur mehngi he milegi.
As for daewoo, mera b usse experience mixed raha hai is gaari mai 2 saal hogae is month daewoo ko, aik cultus mai kuch mahino baad kharab hogai thi phir wo replace karwa k gaari bech di thi maine. Bus agar gaari ki running hai to daewoo nai kharab hogi.

Aur mere khayal se aap SEALED battery ki baat kar rahe ho, sealed and dry are two different types of batteries. Amp hour mai dekh k bata duga meri gaari mai konsi thi, yaad nai.

[OvaisAlam]

Bonnet sahi se band nhi hota hai because battery shayad bari hai is gaari kay mutabiq.
Hal koi samajh nahi aaya iska abhi tak mujhe. DIN style ki battery koi bhi company yahan nhi beech rhi?
Running kam hai, aisa bhi hota hai kay 2-3 din khari rehti hai bilkul.

I think dry cell aur sealed batteries ik hi hoti hain (as per battery info site).

[Salmaanawan]

Bhai sai se bandh hota hai bonnet, bus aik terminal bonnet se takra jata hai hamari kuch batteries. DIN battery wali info mai aapko waise he deraha tha, wo mehngi ati hai aur bare amp ki hoti hai for bigger cars, iski mushkil hai mile yaha pe.

To phir aap daewoo na le.

Sealed and dry are different, search for it.

I was Fool using 20w50 in my Honda City 2003 EXIS Auto for 3 years, just before Selling I switch to 5w30 and it did amazing Work. i Directly move from 5w30 and Eninge Sound was Amazing. So i would suggest move to 10w40 and then 10w30 and then 5w30 Slowly Slowly. keep an eye on Stick.

[OvaisAlam]

Sealed aur dry main se ziada behtar konsi hai? Kitne ampere ki ho?
Terminal main kabhi khuda na khaasta aag lag gae to ye to bonnet main sorakh kr dega because bilkul terminal pe atak jaata hai ik side se bonnet. Iska koi hal nahi hai?

[OvaisAlam]

Okay but I will use 10W-40 this time and will see its performance first before moving towards a more thinner oil.

[Salmaanawan]

Dry behtar hai, dry mehngi hoti hai. Sealed laga le. 60-65 amp ki hogi muje yaad nai filhal.

Maine tyre ki tube hoti hai wo rectangle shape mai kaat k samje battery k uper rakhi hoi hai to dono terminal cover hojate hain, aur us tube ko jorha hua hai kisi cheez se lohay ki patli si wire se, 2016 se yahi jhugaar chal raha hai.
