          Here is what I know about it. Short block is when you take an engine block with the relevant components not bolted in, there is no head and the relevant components relating to the head. Long block is when the engine has the head and internals (block and head) in place, there is a lot less headache. Finally there is also something known as a fully…[Read more]

          Among premium hatchbacks – the Ford Figo has a pretty good AC. Among hatches, the Alto K10 is quite good. Others please chip in with which one’s you’ve experienced that are really cool in the true sense of the word. Among sedans, I’ve found the Verna’s AC, Ford Fiesta and Maruti SX4′s AC quite decent.

          The Nano has a chiller of an AC. Figo’s AC is very good. Same for the City, Fiesta, Linea Tjet and like. Cooling is not an issue with any of the sedans.

          Mr.Kantanba__ Monthly running of 700 kms is not eligible for diesel…so go for petrol.You know that nowdays there is no big diffrence between Petrol & diesel Rate. if your usages is more than 1200 km/ month then you go for diesel…Otherwise Siwft VXI is beat deal

          I always suggest people to buy diesel cars.People say that it doesn’t make much of a difference if you buy a petrol car or diesel car but my answer always is not to them NO, it does make a lot of difference Firstly petrol and diesel prices are never ever going to be the same diesel will always be more cheaper fuel.Plus a diesel car is 15-20% more…[Read more]

          Between the two, advantage Sail. Just because of the hopelessly weak brakes of the Swift VXi. You do not need to do anything out of the way to maintain your car. Just be regular with the servicing and check all fluid levels and the tire pressures periodically. And make sure you read the manual.

          actually this issue arises only when the car is standstill ( in all cars) as there is only one fan ( radiator fan) that blows the air thru radiator which is already hot & that air is only the media to dissipate heat from both radiator & condenser. to atmosphere. as the air coming out of radiator already is hot & is not efficient to cool off the…[Read more]

          what one is doing here is just refurbishing an old engine. after the repairs the engine will perform like new. but it’ll need to be taken care off in the running in period. yes the refurbished engine do need to take care off for a few thousands of kilometers & again brought to the garage where it is rebuild for torquing some bits after settling…[Read more]

          My friend, if your engine is in a condition where it will be opened, you have no business running it anywhere near the top speed.

          In my books its the entire package that matter, basically the product to product comparison. If the budget is 8L for a petrol vehicle, it would be the Punto 1.4 Emotion in the hatch backs and the Fiesta Classic 1.6 Titanium in the sedans that I would buy. Both vehicles are clearly better on an overall product to product comparison with competitive…[Read more]

          Hatchback? Brio AT. Best small car and the best AT in the price range. Perfect city car. Will have it converted to CNG and drive 100km every day. As for sedan, well, if I can find a remaining Linea Tjet at any dealership, nothing like it. Else, the Honda City or the Tata Manza diesel(depending on my requirement).
