  4. Check the oil burning marks in the silencer horse. Also is the level of oil dropping gradually? The signs looks like the piston ring issue given with the chassis number details. Having said that I suggest you do a scan to see if there is a miss in any of the cylinders. I came through the same process and finally replaced the piston and rings. Now on my 6000km and no issues so far.

  12. Yes,because there is no mechanism to get 20 years old vehicles out of the roads. Instead of taxing vehicles with new technology during import, there should be a system to take out 20+yrs old vehicles with high emissions and poor safety features off the roads by making them too expensive to register.

  13. 21,000km done under my ownership and taken car to the agents for lubrication service (Odo: 112,900km) I didn’t observe such a brake oil level dropping, but service people found small leak from rubber boot kit at rear brake cylinders. (When gently press the rubber part, oil start to leak) Brake cylinders were taken out and cleaned well. No deep grooves on inner wall of the brake cylinder, but they took it to lathe shop and polished the inner wall of the brake cylinder. Polished the inner cavity of the brake cylinder. After 11 years , Cup boot kit for brake cylinders replaced. (Mitsubishi Part No.: 4610A078) Cup boot kit (Repair kit) = Rs.2,932/= (for both sides) Labour cost = Rs. 3,174/= Total cost = Rs.6,106/=

  14. So most of the people who owns a vehicle, doesn't know how to jump start a car. So i thought about sharing this. You'll need to park the running car next to the dead car in such a way that the jumper cables can reach both batteries. If you aren't sure where the batteries are under each hood, take a peek* before you park. for example, there are some van's where the battery is under the side footsteps of the rear sliding door. Step 1 Make sure both cars are turned off Step 2 Connect one end of the red (positive) jumper cable to the positive(+) terminal on the stalled battery. Step 3 Then connect the other red (positive) cable clamp to the positive(+) terminal of the good battery. Step 4 Connect one end of the black (negative) jumper cable to the negative terminal of the good battery. Step 5 Then connect the other black (negative) cable to a clean, unpainted metal surface under the disabled car’s hood. Somewhere on the engine block is a good place. Unless you want to see flying sparks and a possible explosion, do not connect the negative cable to the negative terminal of the dead battery, . Step 6 Start the car that’s doing the jumping, and allow it to run for about 2 to 3 minutes before starting the dead car. Step 7 Start the dead car Step 8 Remove cables in reverse order. Step 9 Keep the jumped car running for at least 30 minutes to give the battery sufficient time to recharge itself. Important Tips Disconnecting the battery - be sure you don't let the red and black cables touch each other at the end when they are still connected to one battery. If the car wont start properly - check to see if your battery or connections are corroded. If they are, sometimes a little wiggling while the cable clamp is connected will make your connection better. Otherwise you might have to clean the connections with a wire brush. Don't be nervous about your battery connections, but also know that it's very important that you do not mix up the cables or you can do serious damage. The hardest part of the job is simply remembering where to put each cable. Hope this will help someone Source: The Art Of Manliness & About.com

  15. Customers often ask if they should change the filter as well as the fluid. In the past, automatic transmission fluid was changed by removing the pan, changing the filter and gasket and refilling with 1/3 the capacity of the transmission. This was the only method known to change the fluid so it was the acceptable method. When transmission flushing equipment was introduced to the market, people started to ask, “what about the filter?” “we used to change it, why don’t we have to change it now?” The answer to this is, it was changed before because we already had the pan off so “we might as well” plus the filter company’s packaged the gaskets with filters and encouraged this practice. An automatic transmission is a closed hydraulic device with no foreign matter being introduced. Therefore, if the filter on a transmission should ever become plugged, it is plugged with transmission parts! This means the transmission is past the point of needing a fluid change. An engine, on the other hand, is constantly exposed to foreign matter (air and fuel) which brings in contaminants as well as the combustion that creates many other byproducts. The engine oil filter is designed to filter these products out. Many transmission manufacturers use only a screen on the fluid pickup to filter out any casting flaws or debris that could be poured down the dipstick. Some manufacturers do not recommend changing the filter. The fluid will break down and needs to be changed, the filters do not plug up on a healthy transmission. http://www.fluidservicetech.com/resources/change-filter.html Not sure if this article is accurate though
