My Car - My Maruti Alto LXI

[rakeshkn]

Not more update, Fixed that wired sound hunting from months, it was a lousy mud flap grinning with the rear left tire. I fixed it with a screw, its not gone completely but some rare occasion its happening again. will find out a solution soon.

Added a pair frame-less windscreen wiper blades. Replaced rubber on the rear wiper blade from old front wiper. It was an easy process.

Is wiper rubber only available to buy?

Hi Guys,

There is not much updated but for now the car is at the ASS for rust proofing, but the body shop guy found the under-body of the second row entirely rusted, I asked for the platform change but it would be very costly, they suggested to replace rusted places with sheet and put sealant and after painting it. I opted the later and waiting to the car delivered. Most probably tomorrow.

My car is completing her 8th years on road BTW. is the under body coating prevent future rusting? or what is the things I should care in future? advises needed

Thank you for the reply man, I was thinking to say to moderators to close the thread. Only my posts allover in the last pages.

Major update was, entire suspension setup re-builded as like you did. Put a seat cover. Now planing to put a set of power windows. I was planned to replace the car but the resale price made me away of that plan and I did these complete works on my car.

Rakesh, I am planning to change seat covers of my Alto 2011 model. Red and black looks nice. How much it cost you?

Once i used a kind of foam used in Air Conditioner in home, Not split,Window AC form to cover the air sucking area and was very usefull to collect the cabin dust particles. After 3 months it was full dust and i had to throw it away.

I have replaced mine at 45k.

I have replaced mine at 45k.

Is there any marginal difference in driving or FE. I am not actually convinced, my low mileage coursed because of this.

Guys, a query-Do they remove the entire engine+GB to change the clutch plate?? Sorry for the noobish question, but would really like to know what the procedure is

No, just the gear box will be removed from the engine, its not a touch job in case of alto.
