Suzuki Alto PKDM 660 Owners Club

[IceCold]

Well I am keeping it at 35 and yes you are right i found out that drive wasnt as comfortable after getting it to 35 as compared to 30. Fuel average to abbi tak 12.9 ha. Car is driven 290kms.

36 psi is obviously correct because it's manufacturer's recommendation. People who manufactured the car knows better.
It's the tyre which is problematic. Pak Suzuki is using tyre which can have max 35 psi. They should have used tyre whose max psi is 42.

The same problem is faced by Wagon R owners. I bought CBU Wagon R in early 2015 when Pak Suzuki was importing it directly from Indonesia. The tyres installed in it accept 42 psi max pressure and I was comfortably using 36 - 38 psi in them and tyres easily lasted more than 50,000km.

I would recommend to keep using 36psi until or unless the roads you drive on are not good. In that case don't go below 34psi. Always try to stay closer to what manufacturers recommend.

So i was wondering how fortunate we are to have a JDM version car launched as PKDM because this way we can install all the goodies of japanese alto turbo goodies like Steering wheel with audio controls, climate control....also the OEM recaro seats look mouth watering. although the meter would be nice to add too but for VXR as the meter does not support auto gear changes so no good for VXL owners. the cluster meter also has an RPM meter....all of these things GRIP TO GRIP just plug and play so worries of warranty lapse either.......also you can use the door panel accents aswell and inside door chrome handles ................and oh yess.....the projection head lights are to die for..not to forget unlimited kaabli steering assembly.................this is the best thing which can happen in a pakistani market to a car, one of the main reason of civic rebaarun (UH6) was so loved because it had all sorts of after market goodies available from scrap markets thanks to same model in hybrid being imported into pakistan. I personally myself used kaabli engine mount in my PKDM civic which never gave up.

Do you want the tires to burst on highway due to hot road because you didn't leave any space for air to expand in tires?
When General tire clearly says 35 psi max then why are you trying to inflate them to 36 psi. By the way you never fill tires to max pressure when you have to travel on long route.

Tyres never burst when max psi written on side wall exceed. Approx burst pressure for modern tyres is 200psi. Do some research if you don't believe me.
On highway speed approx 4psi to 6psi increase. It's still far away from 200psi

Guys!!
Is there any news regarding the price increase of ALTO?
Today, I heard about it by a friend who is in AutoFinance in Faisal Bank. Is there anyone from PakSuzuki who can confirm this news?

[ifadey]

Yes this is true. Price may increase on 1st of next month

[haaziq]

No reason for price increase.
Sales already down after last price increase.

[danishmmh]

They might increase for cultus as Picanto has given them the free hand to squeeze 100k easy

[ifadey]

Suzuki has gone mad due to massive alto sales during recent months. Dollar is going down and Suzuki is increasing Alto prices

[haaziq]

11 more days to go, lets see if prices are increased again on 1st October.

[danishmmh]

Recent Price increase has hit Alto, booking time has come down and booking numbers have also been reduced. So they do have orders well into November but new year looming and booking will significantly reduce as everyone will be waiting for 2020 model. So They might increase but i doubt alto will be increased further at least till October.

But it is SHITZUKI they can do any thing

[centos]

Anyone booked in July with partial payment? have you paid the increased amount of 138k or have you filled any dispute. Please share details/experience.

Their is no cbu WagonR. Suzuki was offering Indonesian tires when they started manufacturing. Because at that time the tire size wasnt avalible locally.

[hash737]

Glad somone pointed it out. I was too lazy to write the details

I see. Whatever my model is but the point is they came with Indonesian made tyres and they were pretty good

[danishmmh]

I think he meant CKD

unho ne mujh se and 2 din mai number plates

How did you manage to get number plates in 2 days? Since my car is on lease and the bank charged 45K from me, the number is given but on the challan receipt its written "number plates bakaya hain" meaning number plates yet to be handed over. I have contacted the bank and they are saying time lag raha ha plates main, app dorsi banwa ker laga lain.

[hash737]

I got my favourite number and plates the same daym costed 38k to register the car. My fav number was available i previous series so plates were already available.

[IceCold]

You are in Islamabad, I am from Lahore. Problem with Bank is they dont let you do your registration. I even had a clash with them regarding their charges because the original cost is 40K something. They charged me 45000 which i said is fuckin too much. But alas there was no way round it. But now i am only worried about plates and that stupid smart card. I have nothing at the moment other than the stupid challan slip on a piece of paper on which its written number plates bakaya hain.
