Well...Guys finally managed to get the whole system up and running, Before I post more..Can Someone Tell Me how to Share Photo's on Team-bhp in a thread, As I clicked some snaps of the whole procedure and would like to share them here..!
Ok- Reach Workshop at 9:30 AM
Work Starts on removing All bolts and Air filter/Battery, Most of the Right side of the engine compartment has been removed, except the radiator/Fans/Hoses/Fuel Filter...!
11:00 AM The Mechanic, Lifts the car and begins dismantiling the under carriage, First comes of the Engine Protector, followed by the Axel's and drive shafts/ Wheels are removed/Transmission Fluid-Engine Oil whats left of it..!
12:00 PM The Mech goes on his routine Chai Break, back after 15 min to now work on removing the Gear Box. Opens the remaing Lock's and removes the Mounting..!
Places the engine on support of a metal support stool -Engine hanging a little despite the support...takes 3 mech's just to remove the Gear System..! Damn Heavy..!
1:00 PM- Finishes removing the Gear Box Assembly/clutch plates etc, Turns out that the problem of Oil dripping was because the Engine Main Seal was leaking..ie-The seal just before the clutch system and the engine...Get that replaced cost- Rs 1200.
Cleans the area and applies a sealant and fixes the new seal...! Leaves that for an hour, Begins checking Clutch plates..! Clutch plates are in excellent condition and will last another 75 K Km..! Now here he takes the Clutch Bearing and says that will be replaced- Reason as its Soaked in Oil ( I actually don't understand-Isn't the bearing supposed to be dipped in Oil or is it that the Grease in the bearing is corroded by oil, whatever be the case, I was given two options either to put the old one back only to have it replaced later or Replace now and forget about it-Cost of Bearing - Rs.1800) I got it replaced though, I don't buy the logic unless my friends here can wise me of the reason..???
3 PM system is all clean and is ready to be packed and loaded back into the car- The task begins and all done by 5 PM.
Now here are certain things which happened subsequently- I managed to have the car cleaned and washed all inclusive in the price I paid,
Since the Battery was removed for over 5 hours- The ECU was reset, I had asked the manager to get it checked using the MUT , Got that done and for some reason the car was on higher RPM ( Here is what I mean- On regular basis the car idles at 900 RPM Just below the 1000 Mark, And when you acclerate it adjust the RPM between 1000 and 2000 RPM..But now after the Reset was done the car was Idleing at 1000 and When accelrated it moved to 2500-3000 RPM and then came down within a few seconds back to the usual 1000-2000 RPM where it should be- I figured that it could be some minor adjustment needed, Turns out I'm be sold some logic of the throttle being dirty and has to opened and cleaned-Cost-Rs 650...Since the car was recently serviced and throttle adjusted and cleaned with the Dissolvent Spray..I Think it was a fast one they were trying to pull on me..I din't do it...Took the car for a spin and when all was okay went home a little pissed bout the throttle bit)
Here Was what Happend at the service station- After all this I went the next day and to search for Replacement Brake Pads- Went to Khan Market found Shops having the Orignal Brake Pad ( Sumi-Tomo for Rs.2100) and the only next thing they offered were Korean or Taiwanse brands for Rs.700...Din't buy....Came back to Batra Automobiles at Ashram and found Brake Pads of RANE for 650...Bought them and here is why- Rane is a reputed OEM seller of Brake Systems and Power Steering, Rane makes brakes for Honda/ Maruti- Maruti I can vouch- Honda as I was told..! But then found them perfect, superior braking and no noise...hope will last me long enough..I had got the Disc's polished also-Cost-Rs 250.
About the Tail-Lights, I spoke to my agent and was advised to wait till later..and I took the light out and fixed it with Super-Wiz and sealed the remaining crack with Super-Wiz. Its holding strong enough, Will not last very long I know but at least till I can get a good claim is all I need.
So here's the entire story, I hope someone can answer the few queries I have asked in between and a few I'm about to Ask ..He He He..lol
1) Was it neccessary for me to have the clutch bearing changed- Oil on it would have damaged it or what ?
2) ECU being Reset, Is the Higher RPM because of the Factory Setting or does my throttle needs to be cleaned..?
3) What could have been the actual cause of this Oil Seal leak, It seems very unheard of that a car of such excellent build as the Lancer can develop Oil seal leaks at 59,832 KM or 5 years-3 Months..! I had recently got the car serviced and as per advise of fellow members chose to have the engine flushed with STP Engine Flush-Could this have been a reason...I wonder because- I always have regular service- The engine oil is always clean never burnt or dark brown, Never seen any sludging in the engine or the engine oil..even when I had used STP there was no sludge that came, only dark brown engine oil...! So what may have been a reason ??? The showroom guy has a new theory which I must share- He said since you used Castrol Engine oil of 20W, The oil seeped through the seal--I wonder as I have always used the Lancer Servo 10W-30 as sold by the showroom except once a few years back and Once just this time...! Now I'm really confused ??? Please Help
4) Ok, I know by now you guys are all bored but this is just one last one..!
I'm intrested in having a slight modification done- I want to convert the Headlamps and the grill of my lancer SFX-i into That of the Luxury Edition..Looks pretty simple to me- Just need the Bonnet to be re-shaped and The new lights, Is it that simple..Who can do this in delhi..I've heard of Auto psyce on this forum, but fear he will be too expensive..! Suggestions anyone..!
