Reddy thats some info to me. I didnt know that. Though Tata tests its New Vehicles around Coimbatore , but didnt know about new engines part.

[reddy6980]

The information was given by authorized tata service station in Bangalore,when i asked him the contact he told he had misplaced the letter sent by the workshop and he will get back to me once he finds the letter.

[esteem_lover]

What does he mean by ready made ? Is it an old engine rebuilt or a brand new one ready to be installed ? Brand new ones should be available anywhere.

You can get your engine replaced by TATA, its called the recon engine.

Here is what you get through TATA MOTORS APPROVED RECON UNIT

Thank dadu for the link

i called up tata dealers(Bangalore) and spoke to them,since my engine is a non turbo (1994 seirra) asked the dealer if could replace with turbo the dealer said that it is not possible because the gear ratios are different for turbos so i should change the transmission and the diff's.

guru's is this true

For that deals Pollachi Used market is best!

[rajivanoj]

Engines can be swapped in markets from coimbatore and mettupalayam. But no long term guarantee, but if you meant from any good workshop, then you can go ahead.

I guess you are talking about the recon units. I know of a pretty big company that does engine reconditioning for TATA ( could be Ashok Leyland ) commercial vehicles. All the engines that are replaced under warranty are sent here. They are rebuilt here and sent back ( check this out!!! ) to the assembly line for use in new vehicles!!!

What your source might have told you about is the big time engine rebuilders like kuttukaran and popular here who might have rebuilt engine in stock.

Are they authorized by TATA.

Do they sell rebuild kits if customer want to do it at the local garage?

[NetfreakBombay]

Thats cool and prices seem reasonable. Is something similar available for Maruti as well?

OE Rebuild kits are available at most spare parts shops.

[deepclutch]

Is reconditioned engines from tata available for indica?How much will be the approximate cost?

[SirAlec]

TATA do provide recon engine themselves through their authorised service station all over india. Somebody did posted some links of their website stating the detail.

can anybody search that plz.?

[Mpower]

The Jaya diesel for Amby was a unique engine IIRC. It was not a rebuild but ground up design and built by Jayem.
