Maruti 800: Technical Issues & Solutions

Why don't you get MRF radial tyres?

Bridgestone tires are expensive.

Find out the prices from a couple of tire dealers.

What did he say was causing the noise?

Exide is better than amaron.

Not sure about the cost of the AC gas.

If you get two new tires put the old ones(of the same make and type) in the rear.

That "zzzz" noise is most probably from the fuel pump, no worries there. Also its advisable to crank the car after that noise stops as the pump draws in fuel in sufficient quantity to make the car start.
Hope this helps.

completed repairs. and about the noise the mechanic said it is from water pump which is not a genuine part.

changed the battery
changed engine oil ,brake fluid, gear oil and coolent
installed new dynamo belt,
radiator hose pype clamp
and said he also installed air filter and some brake work charged 3200 including labour.

after taking my car back to home. i took a test drive to a 4 km drive, after stopping the car i noticed a boiling sound is coming from bonnet.

when i opened the bonnet the water is boiling and pouring out from radiator reservoir.

i called the mechanic he said wait for 15 min and after opeing radiator cap pour some water and ask to start the engine then and observe for start radiator fan.

i pour nearly 750 ml of water upto the top and start the engine after some time radiator fan is on. i told same to the mechanic.

he said go for a drive now, this time the water did not boil.

what is the reason for that is there any serious problem with my car.

happy news is i am driving the car very comfortably without any driving classes. Today i drove 8km in a moderate trafic root. I have to practice the revercing the car slowly when reversing i am going a bit fast

^^ Are you sure about the mechanic stating the "zzzz" noise coming from Water pump. I am really confused here, how come water pump make zzz noise when its not running? You have mentioned that noise is coming when you turn the key to ACC position & not while you crank/start the car.

I just hope i have not missed something here.

Copying this from my 800 Thread.

Have been facing the problem of slipping clutch in my 4 speed MPI 800 for the past few weeks so planning to get the clutch changed. From what i recall the following parts are required to be replaced:

Clutch plate
Pressure plate &
Clutch release bearing.

The total cost of above parts at MGP outlet is Rs. 1671.
I still haven't inquired with any MASS or FNG & need to know what should be the approx. labour charges at MASS considering they are almost same across cities & what else to look for w.r.t. wear & tear.

Varun560061 · 11th February 2013, 11:12 AM

The parts mentioned are correct, changing these parts will solve the issue.

Better get it done from a local garage it would save time and money too..
