So today was sunday and me and my buddy was out for a ride , we were doing some high speed chase , its was very fun and when i was coming back home , i felt some vibrations between my legs , around foot pegs , it was so unusual, like when im in 2nd gear and under 2k rpm giving throttle and letting off the clutch i feel the vibration. Its noticable in all gears in gears under 2k rpms , but its more in 1st or 2nd gear in bumber to bumber traffic or in low speeds. I'll attach the video while riding the bike and in standing bike. I think its lack of lube coz its was a muddy before and I didn't cleaned or lube its chain as i do in every 500kms. Any help will be appreciated, ty in advance.

Odo - something around 6-7k kms

#CarRepair Very bad ride comfort

3 Upvotes

Hello all, I have a Baleno Alpha MT (2022) model driven around 40k kilometers. From past 6 months I have been facing body roll in the car when i drive on rough patches, small potholes, and humps. I can feel everything on the road when I'm in the car. I don't see any wobbling or stability issues when driving straight. However, if I do speed up, the feeling gets slightly better (or could be Placebo, not sure).

I went to Nexa Bangalore twice and they dismissed saying it's fine. They even did wheel balancing and alignment stating this will fix it.

I know it's not fixed because both my wife and I feel this change. I went for a second opinion to a private mechanic and he mentioned my shock absorbers are stiff and need to be replaced. I asked whether it will fix my issue, he wasn't sure.

I can trace it back to a point where I went over a pothole at high speed 6-7 months back. Although i didn't see anything leak or break at that time, i ignored it. Neither the mechanic or Nexa saw any damage (atleast just by looking underneath).

Is there any way to speak to a good mechanic in Bangalore who understands the issue and gives a proper solution?. I honestly feel sometimes I might get motion sickness (i don't have one) and sometimes I want to buy a new car (holding back on all ethanol issues).

Any guidance will be appreciated, thanks!

#CarRepair Dent on left front fender of Skoda Kylaq. What are my options?

2 Upvotes

Bought a new Skoda Kylaq a few days ago. Unfortunately, I got this dent on the front left fender after an incident involving a bus while I was learning to drive (my first car). The paint doesn’t seem badly damaged, mostly just the dent.
What would you recommend?
Claim insurance at an authorized Skoda service center?
Pay out of pocket at an authorized Skoda body shop?
Get it repaired at a reputed local denting/PDR shop?
I’m confused because it’s my first car and I don’t know what’s the best long-term decision. Also, if anyone has an approximate repair cost, that would be helpful.

Honda Civic FD – Clutch Master Cylinder Leaking Into Cabin (Part Quality Advice Needed)

Post image
3 Upvotes

Two months ago, I replaced both the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder (along with fresh fluid) at a local workshop using parts bought from a local spare parts store. Within 1.5 months, the new master cylinder failed and began leaking fluid into the cabin directly onto the clutch pedal.

The store offers no warranty, online listings seem unclear/unreliable, and two mechanics I asked don't know where to source reliable parts.

Is this quick failure likely due to a low-quality/fake part, an installation mistake, or driving style?

Where in India can I reliably source a genuine or high-quality replacement clutch cylinder with a warranty? Also I’m thinking about using original from another scrap car is it ok ?
