    OBD2 Scan App for Alto LXI 2008

    in DIY (Do-It-Yourself)

    Posted

    Hi

    I've just bought an OBD2 Scanner from Ebay to scan my Alto LXI (2008). I've tried the two Android apps called "Car Scanner" and "Torque (lite)". Both can connect to the device but can't connect to the ECU. The "Car Scanner" app goes through all the Protocols available with it and none matches with the vehicle. Could this be a problem with the car (maybe the port)? Or is there any app that supports this car?

     

    Thanks.

    Alto 800 (2008) - Driver side door needs to be slammed to lock properly

    in DIY (Do-It-Yourself)

    Hi guys,

     

    I've got an Alto 800 (2008). The driver side door of it needs to be slammed to lock properly. I could see that the door beading is a bit worn out which makes the slamming noice louder. I've tried lubricating the door latches / locks as well. 

     

    Any idea of how to fix this problem at home?

    Appreciate if you can put some references to parts shops if need any.

     

    Thanks. :) 

    Alto 800 (2008) AC turns on too frequently, not very cold and high load to engine

    Hi,

    I've recently bought an Alto 800 (2008) with ~65K milage. The A/C doesn't get very cold in daytime (under direct sunlight). Also compressor kicks in too frequently even the temperature is set to a medium level.

     

    The load that A/C puts on the engine is also considerably high and it is noticeable at pickup and hill climbing.

     

     I'm gonna try to fix this by my own ? . 

     

    Do you guys have any clue that I need to start checking such as could it be low gas? Bad compressor or is it normal in these cars?

     

    Really appreciate if you can give me some rough cost figures for the fixes that you suspect as well.

     

    Thanks. :)

    Car seems to be at a sale so most probably clocked. It has the magic mileage of less than 100k km 

    Given the fact that local version is advertised around Rs. 1.4 Mn, transaction may be taking around Rs. 1.2 Mn.

    Use the negatives mentioned by others to bargain. Are they asking for Rs. 1.2 Mn. or your offer

     

    Thanks for your reply. They ask for 1.2Mn final price.

    Thanks for the images. The body and interior panels shows same as Indian Alto (Yes it shows air bags on dash board  & steering wheel). So seems body parts may source easily. As @Crosswind said if engine from Indian wagon r, spares will not be easily source.

    In summery 1.2M seems too much for HZ plate 2004 Alto though it have ABS, air bags & 1000cc.

    P.S : You can upload images here directly.

    Thanks for your opinion.  I'm not very cleare about the term "source" you used here. Could you explain it a bit :)

    Photos: Upload failed. I guess they exceeds the max size. So I dropped them in google drive.

    I doubt it's an Indian given the safety options. Could be the Japanese one came with same body styling. Did you check the CR? 

    Yes. It is indian. As mentioned in other comments it is an EU model.

    i had a friend who had this alto 1.1 engine i think this was the euro spec  (think) Susuki with drew this model from euro

    it had ABS etc

    with a larger engine it should be good.

    Yes this is an EU model. Do you know any info about parts availability and cost?

    Is that a K10 ?

    Can you upload a photo of it ? Interesting to see Alto (Indian) with ABS & Air bags.

    Here you go :) https://drive.google.com/open?id=1F4ab-ulooFdRZO5ggmXpY8ThpX09kDL8

    This must be a euro spec one. Made in India but imported to Sri lanka from UK. It has a driver airbag but no ABS. That might be a false claim.

    Engine is from indian wagon r, which is not a very popular model, so you might face some issues with engine spares.

    Thanks for the reply. As you said yes it is an EU model. But it has 2 air bags. I've attached a photo of the dashboard as above reply. It shows SRS in steering as well as dashboard of passenger side. Could that be a false label?

    If the car is in good condition should be ok. mechanical issues should be easy to rectify and straight forward. Check for rust, thoroughly it may be patched up.

    Do not pay anything more if it is not the mainstream model imported by agent.  

    Thanks for your reply. As the above photos, car looks good. Do you think 1.2M is too much?

    Hi all,

     

    I just found a 2004 Alto (Indian) for 1.2M. The car spec is as follows.

    1000cc

    Manual

    Alloy wheel

    ABS

    Air bags

    98000 KM

     

    The car has average overall look. No major damages inside and out. Engine looks good. No any bad noises or vibrations. 

    What do you guys think about this model and buying a 15 years old Alto?

    This the model is not very common, will the parts be available and cheap?

     

    Really appreciate your feedback. 

     

    Thanks.
