Hi friends, I took a second hand MARUTI 800 MPI BS III AC (2007 model and reading at 75000) four months back . At the time I took the car, condition is good. Engine sound is good and good pickup. Now I noticed some problems.
1. Some grinding sound is coming from bonnet right side. Sound is not coming always, after i traveled some distance its coming and increasing while accelerating. Mechanic said water pump failed. With the water pump need to change timing belt and bearing. total estimation 1800/-. I read if water pump failed then coolant leak and engine overheat will occur. But there no leak of coolant and over heat problem. Temperature gauge staying at middle even after drove 100 km distance. Do in need to change all the parts told by mechanic?
2. Next problem is Poor pickup, even in 2nd gear, when I pressed the accelerator engine is roaring but speed increasing slowly. when overtaking its difficult to me. Mechanic said need to change Clutch plates. total estimation is 3200/- (clutch plate, pressure plate, release bearing and gear oil).
3. Next problem is brake oil drops on the top of the brake pedal. I observed they are coming from the a rubber bush at the top of brake pedal. I put clear plastic bowl under rubber bush. In one day it is dropping 3 to 4 drops. Mechanic said change Master cylinder (cost 700/-) and he also said 3 to 4 drops not a problem, top up brake oil every 2 weeks, if leaking is more then change the master cylinder.
Labor charge 1800/- total cost 7500/-
Friends please give your suggestions. do in need to proceed or go for another mechanic. Thanks in advance..
