Cars Q&A

I also drive diesel car, i have lancer, indica & indica vista.

Diesel cars need cleaning of pump time to time.
You will feel the change by it

Hi i feel get the 1) nozzle injector clean 2) Check the Air filter. You have not mention the type of smoke from the exhaust if it is black you might have to get the Fuel pump calibrated. Go step by step, If the clutch plate is weak then the vehicle RPM will go up but the car will not move as per the RPM. As "expert" advice do not go for clutch overhaule.

Hi, I also own an indica V2 , 2005. As well as a Swift VDI 2007. Changing of clutch or otherwise servicing or cleansing of filters and all that stuff is not going to make much of a difference. It is an underpowered car with lots of kerb weight and low torque. Try to to live with it. Or else go for Indica Viesta Qudrajet. The pick up especially with AC on is never going to improve. The only thing you can do it push it hard in lower gears and put it into top gear above the speed of 70kmps.

i agree with n .shetti there could be problem with nozzle or the pump which is to be serviced.if there is a problem with cluth then you must be in a habbit of not removing your foot from the cluth pedal or exesessive usage of cluth other wise cluth does not wear out in 50000kms.

1. There is a part called FICD[, which increases RPM of the engine in propotion to the AC load, so the pickup wont suffer. Chances are that this is not working. I had the same thingh in my indica 2000 Euro II model. The authorised service centre never told me about this part. It was one of their guys who had resigned, who showed me the original which was not working and fixed a new one and showed me the quantum diffrence. I have driven 127000KMS on my indica with all of that on Ac on, but with good mileage [16+] and never felt underpowered.
2. open the air filter. Check out if their is any mobil oil spots [circular in shape] on the flat side of the air filter. If spot is there you get ring and pistn checked for replacement.

What type of fuel are you using ie.ordinary or primum diesal? My experience by using the primum diesal is keeps the pump and nozzal clean and the milage is steady even after 50,000 kms. Many manufacture instructs NOT to use the primum fuel. In primum fuel, an additive which improves the effieciancy of combustin, by altering chemical-molecular composition of the fuel, is added.

My advise is use the primum fuel for 500 to 750 kms, feel the difference, and then decide.

I feel that the advice given by P.C.Rao is practical.Do as he says.

who does not know that any problem in a car will be rectified by a mechanic and you can find the mechanic at authorised service centre and you need to spend money for that.if sachin has asked a question we should be giving a resonable answer according to our knowledge and experience it is indeed rude and stupid on pc rao to answer the querry in the manner he has answered.if you have some experience and knowledge stop showing off.

thanks opretor and pc rao for editing and removing the first few lines from your answer now your answer seems to be an expert's advice rather than a preaching .those were the lines about which i had objection in my previous answer.

sell it and get the petrol car its a hopeless car

Normally, clutch doesnot wear out under 50K kms, but do get an opinion from an authorised Tata service centre. There could also be an issue of the fuel firing system/fuel supply system - u have not mentioned if there is any engine "missing"/black smoke issue which indicates improper fuel burning leading to starting/pick up issues

Mr. P.C rao ,if u find answering the querries a waste of time dont answer from next time no body has forced u .as far as having knowledge and putting it to practical use both the things are completely different.its always better to be an aware customer .everybody knows how a man can be killed but that doed not mean...........................................

very wellsaid Aashu ,we as aware customer must be making some experts envious and threatened .even i would say not to answer a question if u find it a waste of time as u had written before editing your answer mr rao.
