Some problems with honda city idsi

[hash4u]

faulty AC compressor

[ussi]

Brother before tweaking the rack I want to add that there is a dugg sound from steering in standing postion
Whenever the steering is at rest for a minute or so and when I turn the wheel it makes a dug sound always in initial movement
Its more like something is being released and its making the sound
No sound on bumps or whatsover
So I want to know that should I get the steering opened again and see whats wrong
Because the steering doesnt feel good anymore
It feels like its dead and dry
I dont know what that bloody guy has done to it because before the repair it was fun to drive the car but now sometimes its feels like a pain
I just want the steering back to normal with no sounds
Please suggest

dug sound comes if rack ends are dry lubricate them other wise city shockers have bearing in them which makes sound,is sound comes from driver front side

Well here are the updates

Didnt do anything with the steering
Will tweak it on the weekend

@hash4u
Changed the plugs nd air filter
Throttle was already serviced some 5000km ago
Changed the oil to shell ultra 5w30 car feels a bit lighter now sometimes but the fuel avg has dropped a bit
I mean in half tank I sed to get 250+ and now its giving me 200 in half tank in city with mix
So there is a huge drop

And now there is squeeking or whistling sound coming from throttle body area
It comes on acceleration exactly between 1.5k-2k rpm
What may be the issue
@Xulfiqar
Bro please tell me the problem

bro can somebody tell please what is this for? i mean which fluid is filled in this container? As i bought a idsi 2005 recently, and today i noticed that there is no fluid and even no lid on this container, its empty. The small container beside this is for brake oil but what is this for? Thanks

[siddiqui.zain1]

That's the brake Fluid next to it is Clutch fluid.

bro the container in the red circle that is also the bigger one is brake fluid?? My brakes are working fine and there is not even a drop of fluid in this container and lid also removed.

[siddiqui.zain1]

I have recently bought city isdi 2007, it has the same kind of containers, I had a civic 95 the bigger one of it was the brake fluid not sure in this one. But mine are both filled, I read the top of smaller one in my city it says dot 3 seems like brake fluid, than the other one would be the clutch fluid.

But mine are both filled, I read the top of smaller one in my city it says dot 3 seems like brake fluid, than the other one would be the clutch fluid.

brother can you make sure by checking and reading at the lid of your idsi bigger one container, that what is it for? so i can grab the bottle from store and fill it.

[siddiqui.zain1]

[siddiqui.zain1]

Bigger one is the brake fluid as written

[siddiqui.zain1]

Both the containers can be filled with dot 3 or 4 brake fluid, Now I am sure that the smaller one is the clutch fluid.

[moreumair]

First of all ,thanks a lot man. i really appreciate, this pakwheels community is prospering due to the guys like you.
Now, that means both the containers are for brake fluid as written on them, strange. and why i am not having any trouble braking the car. and then where does this clutch fluid goes?

[siddiqui.zain1]

The smaller one is the clutch fluid container
The bigger one is Brake fluid container
And the fluid used in both these is dot 3 or dot 4 brake fluid.

[moreumair]

And the fluid used in both these is dot 3 or dot 4 brake fluid.

ok so the same fluid goes in both containers and fulfill their respective purpose. sorry for tackling mine ignorance.
Bro i am driving the car since good 15 to 20 days and there is not a single drop of fluid in brake fluid container, what harm it does? as braking is still normal.
also i have two more issues with the car, if possible for you answer them.
1. when i want to reverse the car, reverse gear doesn't engages, i have to forward a car little to get the reverse gear engage. whats the issue?
2. also when i drive the car, it accelerates much slower sluggishly with little jerks from idle state, in 2nd gear and while AC on this matter shows its real worse.

[siddiqui.zain1]

Things I did when I bought the car. Throttle body service and Spark plugs service and oil change oil filter change and radiator fluid flush. Referring to your 2. point this might help, with ac the car is sluggish until it crosses 1000 rpm.
Referring to 1. The problem in your car seems related to be transmission. I myself haven't experience any issue like this in my life won't be able to guide you rightly. But the regular maintenance requires the transmission fluid to be changed after 40k km, bad transmission fluid can ruin the transmission, it's original state is pinkish color and the bad one turns blackish or brownish. Bad one damages the transmission and the gears slips. Better to replace the manual transmission and don't completely flush it.
Fill in the clutch fluid.

Thanks a lot.
yes without AC it seems fine but with ac at low rpm car moves too slowly, but as it crosses 1000 rpm it comes back in normal fine state.
bro if gear box/manual transmission system is to be replaced, do you have any idea about the cost it takes? and whats the benefit of throttle body service and spark plugs, also what is the total cost for this?

[siddiqui.zain1]

Throttle body is linked directly to air filter it's located behind it, with time and pollution it gathers carbon deposits and in turn makes car a bit sluggish or economy reduces. Don't get too worried, it's just the reverse gear nothing else happens to most cars sometimes reverse doesn't engage, just fill in the missing fluid and change the transmission fluid.
Throttle body and spark plugs cleaning will increase both performance and efficiency of the car. From a local mechanic it will cost around 500-1000, don't try any anari mechanic go to someone who you know can do it.

Honda City 2004 Throttle Body and Plugs Cleaning

Although the cars wasn't causing any problem but when i removed one of its the plug yesterday, just for checking, it turned out to be really dirty so decided to clean throttle body and plugs today.... Took about 2 hours and there was a clear difference in pick and smoothness in drive although i wasn't expecting much as car was behaving normally....... and by normal i meant no missing and normal idling....pick and response was definately not at top but was acceptable.. Following are some of the …

I am not sure about transmission system, but I don't think that it's that big deal, it will be fine just change the fluids. And ALSO CHANGE THE FUEL FILTER, you will feel a lot of difference by it. I haven't done that I'll will be doing it.

[moreumair]

Thanks bro for such an informative guidance.
