TODAY DIESEL ENGINES are more complicated, and thus i don’t feel they’re trustworthy,…. any how except loud noise, rest all is same with today’s petrol and diesel engine,…. but your maintenance cost will increase 1 fold ,,,,, thus if opting for diesel, with just 700 km fig. …. sure won’t be problematic, but’ll be hefty on pocket for…[Read more]
Fuel choice is up to you. For such a monthly run, petrol car is advisable but you need to consider the FE factor as well. Honda City is a proven car for decades and one of the best in class mid level petrol sedan, worth buying it. Volkswagen Vento might be pocket pinching while servicing and buying replacement parts. My choice would be City in…[Read more]
lol no confusion should be there here, lord and world both knows, that if petrol is your choice and sedan is ur desire, and no budget limit …. the only demon cum friend you can get is HONDA CITY …. CITY is the most trusted brand ….no blinking, no biting just grabbing the CITY !!! …. 
the only sole reason is the mileage …. and subsidy indian govt. offers on diesel …. if you’re planning for a kit, opt for petrol, but the engine performance notches down by 10% by kit (cng) ….
once you’ll get that warning, do a tankful and check the amount of fuel you bought. Warning amount=Tank capacity – amount of fuel you bought.
5 litres ….
I don’t think you will get substantially more mileage than what you are getting currently from your Optra. The manual is different, there the Verna would have given you more than the Optra.
With the Verna automatic diesel, expect only about 11 in the city and about 15 on the highway. The Verna automatic is a four speed automatic – which means it holds each gear ratio for longer – which is detrimental to fuel economy.
Before you rebore do check if things improve once all fluids, filters are fine. Also check the intake, exhaust and throttle body, spark plugs as well as if going in for a decarb will do the job. Here is an article on engine decarb – http://www.cartoq.com/engine-decarbonisation-when-do-you-need-this-done/ Regards.
60,000 kms? I don’t think it needs a rebore. Just check the injectors, fuel supply system, and as Amit says, get it decarbonized if needed.
Get any good brand of oil that is used for gas driven cars – Shell Helix 20w 50 or perhaps Caltex 20w 50 or Mobil Super 1000 20W 50 are all good oils. If you really want to spend a lot on oil go for a fully synthetic oil like Mobil 1 0W-40 (Rs. 1100 a litre or something like that). LPG / CNG engines produce more heat so a higher viscosity is needed.
If you stick to mineral oil do change it in every 5000 kms. In case of synthetic maximum 10000 kms.
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]
awesome.
Personally feel its cramped, overpriced, for singles only!!
Amongst the small hatchbacks it is perhaps the best you can buy today.
The Brio is a good, value-for-money hatchback, especially if you are looking for a personal car for the city. Quite trouble free, fuel efficient, peppy and easy to drive.
well its the most powerful petrol hatch at present in indian automobile market … 88 bhp
Johnsons Controls I think are an OEM supplier of automotive interiors and seating equipment. What exactly are you looking for? I don’t think they have any aftermarket business as such in India. Don’t know anything more on them right now.
