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.
Is there an alternative to the Maruti 800? A friend of mine is looking for an extremely cheap to run and fix car for around 1.5M. While I do advocate old Japanese cars in that budget - if his need is basic A-B motoring at the lowest possible cost - maintenance wise and with fuel - is there any other option that I am forgetting?
Does anyone know how exactly this is supposed to work? They haven’t really started brand new imports again right?
Pricing seems relatively fine in the grand scheme of things, given how 10/15 year old cars are still pretty expensive in our market
A guy advertises a mileage blocker on the quick site saying that his device blocks the vehicle mileage from changing on the odometer. Is it legal to advertise stuff like this?
Bought a 2007 (Reg 2011) Vitz SCP90 (Mileage 180K+) for the family (will be used by my father). Seems to be in good condition but had some new owner repairs/replaces done to have a free mind.
