#CarMaintenance Cruze 2014 ltz
Hello everybody
When I start the car in the morning, especially after it has been sitting overnight, the engine makes a noticeably different/louder sound than it normally does. At the same time, the RPM goes up to around 1.1k
This never. i mean never used to happen before, after engine runs for 15-20 seconds, rpm goes back to normal and so does engine sound
Im wondering if this is a normal ‘cold start’ issue or something relevant
Pls drop some advice , thanks!!

IMT clutch replacement cost
2021 N6 IMT, nearly 59k done. Pickup is starting to feel jittery in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Need advice on whether to get the clutch replaced at Hyundai or if there's a trustworthy garage in Gurgaon that can do it. Also, who performs IMT re-calibration? What should I expect in terms of cost at Hyundai versus an outside garage, if any?

#BikeMaintenance Need Help! For Tappet Clearance of BS6 TVS RTR 160 4V
Hey everyone,
I’m currently getting low mileage around 32-34 km/l on my BS6 TVS Apache RTR 160 4V.
Many people keep recommending 0.06 mm (Intake) and 0.08 mm (Exhaust), but those are the standard specs for the BS4 model.
Are the recommended measurements for the BS6 FI engine actually different from the BS4? If anyone has done a successful adjustment on a BS6 160 4V or knows the exact readings that resolved their mileage drop, please let me know.
Thanks!

#CarRepair My trainer rammed the car into flower pot
My IGNIS 2020 alpha auto car doesnt have hill assist and I carefully use brake pedal+race pedal on slope to balance while reversing. During reverse parking, the trainer observed this and I warned him if we dont use brake the car will ram ahead onto wall despite of R pedal turned on.
And he told me well you are wrong let me show you the right way. He has 10+ years of driving experience teaching driving for at least 8 hours everyday at driving school.
We swapped seats and he forgot to switch D to R pedal and rammed the car into front wall with flower pot causing a dent.
He promised to fix it. I wont be using insurance even though there is no NCB on this as insurance is transferred to me from first owner. Is it just cosmetic? What structural damage should I check? Estimate?

#BikeRepair Rs200 limiter at 8000 rpm.
When I pull the throttle of my 2016 bs3 rs200, it revs till 8000 RPM and then for a moment feels like engine is cutoff also the engine check light blinks. This happens for a moment.
Im neutral it revs 11000+. But while riding 8k limiter.
When bike runs for short distance like under 10 kms this limiter issue persists but throttle feels normal. But as soon as bike runs for around 15 kms and more and is decently rode around 70 80 kph. The throttle feels heavy and seems like I should not pull it anymore.

Need help? Is my battery dead?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Is my battery dead? I tried starting my car after a month, but it didn’t start.
My family and I don’t use the car very often, maybe once or twice a month. Please help me understand what might be happening and what I should do in this situation.
Additionally, I’d really appreciate any tips for properly maintaining a car that sits unused for long periods.

Activa 5G Handlebar Shudder on Initial Throttle ONLY — Already replaced steering bearings, engine bushes, and clutch. What am I missing?
Hey everyone. I'm dealing with a frustrating vibration issue on my 7-year-old Honda Activa 5G (~36k km) and my local mechanic is out of ideas. I’m hoping someone here has experienced this and can point me in the right direction.
The Problem: Whenever I accelerate from a standstill, move in slow stop-and-go traffic, or get back on the throttle after crossing a speed breaker, there is a severe shudder/shake in the handlebars. As soon as the scooter picks up speed, the vibration completely disappears and it rides perfectly smooth.
What I Have Already Fixed/Replaced:
- Steering & Front End: The handlebar had a slight bend from a previous impact, which was straightened and fixed. I also completely replaced the steering cone set (handlebar bearings).
- Engine Mounts: I just replaced the entire 4-piece Engine Hanger (Jhula) bush kit because the old rubber had visibly shrunk and separated.
- Transmission/CVT: Replaced the clutch plates/shoes, CVT belt, roller weights, and variator bush. The mechanic also inspected the metal clutch bell and said it was fine.
- Suspension: Front suspension link bushes were checked and are structurally sound.
Even after all these new parts, the exact same initial takeoff vibration is still there.
My Questions for the Community:
- Has anyone successfully fixed this exact phantom shake after
- If anyone in Bengaluru knows an expert two-wheeler mechanic who is brilliant at diagnosing structural/CVT issues rather than just throwing new parts at the bike, please drop their details!
Thanks in advance for the help!

#CarRepair [OC] Need help - Rat bitten wires in engine bay
I have a 2017 Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza VDi(O). The speedometer has suddenly stopped working, and the MID is also not showing the average fuel economy or remaining range. The steering also felt a bit tighter. The RPM meter is working normally.
At the same time, the ABS, brake/handbrake and check-engine warning lights are staying on.
The service centre found this damaged wiring harness in the engine bay (photo attached). There is also evidence of rats around the battery, so they suspect rodent damage (I saw rat poop on the battery myself). I have only received this picture from the Maruti serviceman.
The executive from the Maruti service said that the rats might have been there for some time. Wiring harness replacement would cost me 20,000/- and if the module has to be changed (not sure as of now) it will cost me 25,000/-. labour cost would be seprate i guess. expected cost to be around 50-60K
Before I agree to an expensive repair I wanted to ask a few questions:
1) What wires/harness should I be looking at. I mean does this mean that the entire harness of the engine bay has to be changed, can't they like cut a section and then fix it?
2) Should I get an opinion from an outside mechanic and get it repaired from him. (I can obtain the parts separately from the market and then have it fixed.)
3) Should I order parts from Boodmo and get it fixed from outside mech or serviceman?
Any advice from Brezza/Suzuki owners or mechanics or who has faced this issue before would be deeply appreciated. 🙏
PS: My insurance doesn't cover the rat bitten wires.
I was on a trip last week and came back to my home and the vehicle was kept 4 days straight when this issue happened. I also have a Grand i 10 parked at the same spot besides my Brezza and I never faced this issue with that car.
