Re: Reporting 1st Issue in Maruti Ritz ZDi
All i can say is yes the vibrations are way too less.
I just have a question though, not concerning this topic, but the manual says that air filter cleaning is not required in diesel cars only to be replaced every 20k kms or less during severe dust conditions. Why?
If you clean air filter.
Possibly you will be damaging it instead of cleaning
How
IMO most local garages pass the air from reverse direction to clean the air filter. Or these people shake filter vigorously.
Air filter consist of very thin material which arrests the fine contaminations from air.
By passing compressed air from reverse direction. Or vigorous shaking will make Air filter more pores and will allow more dust and unwanted particles to enter in to engine.
Guys, one goes and another comes, now the car is jerking (read
Carburetor mein kachra type jerks) if I drive on constant speed above 80kph but when i leave the accelerator pedal and press again, everything is normal, it comes back again especially during overtaking at speeds above 80kph, not below that.
I called up a SA in MASS he says
Suspects:
1) Fuel filter clogged? (which i did not change during the recent service), i told him got it replace at 26k service. He says that should be fine but need a recheck for the flow.
2) The accelerator pedal wiring may be loose (wiring????) he says the ritz comes with a drive by wire accelerator so its not physically connected to the engine with cables but an actuator actually controls it.
Has that happened with anyone else?, need some light.
Jerking represent uneven supply of fuel while ignition so most close part is fuel filter which might clogged or accelerator (drive by wire technology) sensor is malfunctioning.
This analysis is passed to you by service engineer but most vital is fuel filter as you have changed oil recently how come MASS didn’t change all filters (read air, fuel, oil filters)
They are supposed to change all the filters along with oil. Make a thumb rule if you visit MASS for premature oil change please make sure that you get these mentioned filters changed.
Adulteration in diesel could be one of the major cause of Jerks in engine.
Although this is very general and preliminary analysis.
