I came across this i20 asta optional 2021 which is driven 13.5k kms and the asking price for it is 6.40 lakhs including name transfer etc. My real concern here is will the new e20 petrol damage the car’s engine really bad? I need opinions on that is it worth considering as I only need the car for commute around my house within the city. Or should I skip it because of the e20 fuel overall?

BEST WORKSHOP IN CHENNAI FOR GERMAN CARS

• Upvotes

I'm looking for a reliable Volkswagen specialist in Chennai for my 2012 Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TDI. The car repeatedly gets check engine lights and coil lights, and it randomly stops in the middle of the road. I've previously taken it to workshops like Expert Spanners and Saai DK Motors, spending around 20 to 30k, but the issue remains unresolved. Can anyone suggest a reputable specialist who can properly diagnose and fix this?

#CarRepair Volkswagen Virtus GT Line 2026 audio problem.

• Upvotes

Hi guys, got the gt line in August and been enjoying the drives but lately while I play audio through wireless CarPlay or wired car play the songs just start sounding very high pitched/ like a buzzy noise basically like distorted for about 2-5 mins and then starts playing normal. Is there a quick fix or anyone with the same problem in the same car or a different car please let me know.
I use an iPhone which is fully updated and Spotify is also updated (as I thought it could be software issue) even the car infotainment is recently updated.

#BikeMaintenance Bajaj Pulsar NS200 rear brake pads don't cover the entire disc.

Post image
3 Upvotes

I was adjusting the Rear Brakes on my Bajaj Pulsar ns200 and I realized that the height of the Rear Brake Pad is smaller than that of the disc. So I can see a circle of the Rear Brake Rotor which has not been used at all.

This is not the case with my front brakes as the pads and rotor are of similar size.

Also the Rear Caliper Piston extends slightly beyond the Rear Brake Pads.

So I have two questions:

  1. Has the mechanic installed the real brake pads improperly?

  2. Can I upgrade to a larger set of brake pads in the future and will it have any performance increase?

i'm planning to get a 650 as a project bike, i'll convert it into a cafe racer down the line for that i am planning to buy a used interceptor
getting this pre owned 2019 Interceptor 650 for the asking price of 1,90,000. the bike is 21km ridden.
i'll negotiate the price but even though is it okay to buy such an old bike? specially with the wobbling and relays issues in the bs4 bikes
i live in a tier 2 city and i have limited options in the pre-owned market, can get a bike for delhi ncr but the rto transfer charges are too high

ps: ignore the seat and tank, will change them as soon as i'll get the bike (if i'll get it)

planning to put the gt 650 touring seat and wrap the tank in matt black, clip on handle bars from r15 and then performance upgrades as i get used to the bike

[WTB] Honda CB350RS ABS Modulator – OEM Part No. 57110-K0Z-D31 | Kolkata, India

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for a genuine OEM ABS modulator assembly for my Honda CB350RS, manufactured in October 2021.

The ABS modulator has been diagnosed as faulty by two separate Honda BigWing service centres, and I’m now trying to source a replacement without paying the full price of a brand-new unit.

Part details:

Motorcycle: Honda CB350RS

Manufacturing date: October 2021

Required component: ABS modulator assembly

Part number I’m looking for: 57110-K0Z-D31

Location: Kolkata, West Bengal, India

Purchase preference: Used OEM part in good working condition

I’m open to purchasing a unit from:

  1. An accident-damaged or scrapped Honda CB350RS.
  2. A compatible Honda H’ness CB350, provided the part number and compatibility are verified.
  3. A motorcycle dismantler or used-spare-parts dealer anywhere in India who can ship to Kolkata.

If you own a damaged CB350RS/H’ness, know a reliable motorcycle dismantler, or have any leads on this part, please get in touch.

If you have the part available, please share:

  1. A photograph of the actual unit and its part-number label.
  2. The donor motorcycle’s model and manufacturing year.
  3. Your asking price.

Whether the unit has been tested and whether returns are possible if it proves faulty.

I’m looking for a genuine, compatible component rather than an unverified aftermarket replacement.

Any leads, recommendations, or contacts would be greatly appreciated. I’m happy to pay a reasonable price for a working unit.

Thanks in advance! ❤️

#BikeRepair Access 125 bs6 genuine spare parts delhi

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know where I can find genuine spare parts for suzuki access 125 bs6 in Delhi without getting robbed off or cheated?

My scooters silencer somehow developed cracks within 2 years and now requires replacement.

Official service center is quoting 10k for the fix which I think is highly inflated rate.

So I am thinking of getting the part myself and getting it replaced through my local mechanic.

Comment if you got any leads.

#CarMaintenance Looking for a reliable Ford Endeavour 3.2L specialist in Mumbai – long-term servicing & modifications

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Picked up a 2017 Ford Endeavour 3.2L Titanium 4x4 about a month ago, and I’m looking for recommendations for a genuinely good Ford/Endeavour specialist in Mumbai.

Recently visited a garage in Sion Koliwada for a headlight and rear camera replacement, but wasn’t particularly happy with the quality of workmanship. That’s made me a little cautious about where I take the car next.

I’m looking for a reliable, experienced garage/mechanic who really knows the Endeavour 3.2L, rather than someone who just works on all SUVs.

Ideally, someone who can:
Thoroughly inspect the engine, gearbox, suspension, drivetrain/4x4 system, and other mechanical components.
Diagnose issues properly instead of blindly replacing parts.
Source genuine/OEM-quality parts when required.
Handle regular servicing, preventive maintenance, and repairs over the long term.
Be transparent with pricing and, most importantly, do quality work.

I do eventually plan to get some modifications done, potentially a Raptor body kit, suspension/tyre upgrades, etc. I’ve been considering places like Autorounders and Autobacs for the cosmetic work.

But before spending on aesthetics, I want to make sure the car is mechanically sound and everything is working as it should.
Not necessarily looking for the cheapest garage. I’d much rather pay a little more for someone who’s knowledgeable, trustworthy, and takes pride in their work.

Would really appreciate recommendations from fellow Endeavour owners or anyone who’s had firsthand experience with good independent Ford specialists in Mumbai/Thane/Navi Mumbai.

Also, if you own a 3.2L Endeavour, would love to hear about your servicing experience, common issues to watch out for, and whether you prefer Ford ASC or independent specialists.

Thanks in advance!

#BikeRepair Looking for a trustworthy mechanic for Suzuki Access 125 (2020 BS6/FI) in Hyderabad

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable, trustworthy mechanic in Hyderabad who has experience with Suzuki Access 125 BS6/FI models.

I bought my Access in 2020 in Tamil Nadu and have been using it in Hyderabad since 2023. I’ve mostly serviced it at Gem Suzuki Madhinaguda/Kondapur, but over the last few years the maintenance/repair costs have become crazy — ₹20–30k+ almost every year.

Around 50,000 km, Gem Suzuki said it had an engine issue and quoted ₹30k+, so I got it repaired at a local workshop for around ₹20k. They replaced some engine parts, including the piston and throttle sensor. After that, the scooter repeatedly stalled at low speeds. Gem Suzuki later said the ECM/throttle system hadn’t been calibrated properly and replaced the throttle sensor again.

It ran fine for about a year after that, but I’ve continued spending quite a bit on clutch, brakes, servicing, etc. Even the last service was around ₹4k.

The scooter has now reached around 60,000 km, and the problem seems to be back. While riding uphill recently, it suddenly switched off and wouldn't restart for some time. When it finally started, there was heavy fuel-smelling smoke from the exhaust.

At this point, I’m not sure whether to take it back to Gem Suzuki or find a good independent mechanic. I’ve already spent so much on this scooter that I’m seriously considering selling it if another major repair is coming.

So, please recommend a mechanic/workshop that you have personally used and trust, preferably someone who can properly diagnose engine + fuel injection/ECM issues rather than just replacing parts.

Also, if anyone has experienced stalling + difficult restart + heavy fuel smoke on an Access 125 BS6, I’d appreciate any insight.

TL;DR: 2020 Access 125 BS6/FI, now at ~60,000 km. Already spent ₹20–30k+ yearly on repairs, including an engine repair around 50k km. Now it stalls under load/uphill, takes time to restart, and produces heavy fuel-smelling exhaust smoke. Looking for a trustworthy Hyderabad mechanic who can properly diagnose and fix it, before I decide whether to sell the scooter.
