Everthing was fine till the engine conked. And if i remember correctly my cars fuel pump is leaking diesel. the leakage is very small though. i was told by the A.S.S. they will try and change the gasket of the pump first otherwise i will have to get a new pump. it costs around 30k. But they also said that there wont be any problems except for the diesel leak.
Please let me know if this could be the problem. Im not ready to spend 30k rightnow.
Also, can the fuel pump get damaged in an engine seizure?
cheers

A faulty pump can play havoc with performance.
Also clip, can you post some details about exhaust smoke and what color is it?
Note the exhaust smoke when you cold start the car.
Do you see any missing etc., going on near high rpms?
Do you get any funny smells? |
I think every thing is fine. There is no missing, The car starts instantly even in the coldest of weather.
That diesel leak in the fuel pump could be the culprit. Im really tired of this thing now. but i still have to live with for atleast 2 years.
Can i get a used fuel pump(from a totalled car) if it is in perfect working order? Quote:

Sorry for being off the topic, but this makes me think that engine overhaul at 80k and then paying Rs 65,000 for the engine. Are Diesel engines really worth the money what we pay to OEMs.

Yes, i believe they are worth it. The current generation diesels are great. I had a diesel octy which clocked 1.25L kms before getting stolen. My fiesta diesel has done 90k without any trouble. I have seen lancer diesels driven for more than 3L kms. An opel astra TD 2.5L
I think, the problem lies with this particular engine design. Many accent crdi's are facing engine troubles. Quote:

and my own M800 is still going strong at 1.1lac! imo all the modern cars last more than 2lacs petrol, the best examples of long lasting diesels are toyotas and mahindras! |
I had an OHC 1.5 and i clocked around 1.7L kms before totalling the car. This car was driven like on a race track throughout its life. (i was an engine vengine types earlier) |
