kshah 452 Report post Posted September 19, 2012 i am looking for a 2nd hand car to convert into cng i am ok with both sedan and hatchback average use is 900-1000 km a month my friend suggested a honda city is more suitable to cng conversion is it true or which are the models with better results for CNG conversion currently i am using a wagonR LXi petrol since march 2007 waiting for valuable suggestions I have used cng for 100000 kms and found that almost all Italian cng kits are good. In ahmedabad cng is very expensive hence it do not turn out to be economical. Premium cars require expensive maintenance in cng. However if you need boot space that sedan is only option with cng.

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted September 23, 2012 One rupee a km is unbelievable, since even todays' two Wheelers eat more money per km... (even though the two Wheelers run by petrol) Sent from my Razr MAXX using Tapatalk2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted September 23, 2012 Not with almost 55 per kg gas price. :-) I think rest of India cng prices are less than 40 a kg. In ahmedabad it its 53 per kg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However if you need boot space that sedan is only option with cng. is there any increase in maintenance charges in comparision to petrol car does it reduce the resale value of the car for a monthly usage of 900-1000 kms does is really save money over a period of time j p shah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted September 26, 2012 I have experienced that engine performance decline faster with cng , however it does not deteriorate so much that require engine reconditioning. Resale value of petrol car in general is less, so can not comment. Ideally conversion cost is about 50 to 60 k, and 1kg of cng runs about 1.5 times 1 liter of petrol. So you can calculate your break even Modern engine are robust but sensitive and cheap retrofitter temper with wiring which is not desirable. Because ECU of mid segment car cost more than 35 k, more for premium cars. Tempered wiring can cause ecu failures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the other hand cars with Fiat MJD Engine significant amount of Turbo lag is present which is a pain in city driving Liva is a good car but cost cutting is visible and not a great build Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikme 177 Report post Posted October 23, 2012 @Sudharshan thanx for the reply. Micra/Pulse are the same only badge is different. However will look into it.. I own a micra and I suggest it's a good car looks small but is quite spacious And has a big engine I finalised after testing 1)polo(gr8 build quality but cramped back seat) 2) figo( don't like the interiors but engine is good) 3)I 20( very spacious but it's very big for narrow roads and the new I 20 doesn't look good as old) 4)skoda fabia( best in class Comfort luxury and built but skoda service is not good here) so finalised with micra as it is spacious, engine is powerfull comes loaded with features and steering is lightest of all above cars and easy for city driving. only problem I find is low ground clearance and idle engine vibration. Hope this helps selecting your car Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

admirer2000 100 Report post Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) @killthedope I got my Figo Titanium Diesel in June'10 from Chennai Ford Best & VFM, gives good millage on high ways. Talk bargain to get free third year warranty. Yet to spend for any maintenance - touch wood First surprise got when they gave a Bill for about Rs.1500 after the first paid service. Charges were for consumables, it is also written in the booklet. Prompt reminders will be given by them for service dues. They contact you for feedback on the service done but even if you make a complaint against the service done, they will not get back to you later! Don't expect a Royal treatment at the Dealer point's service stations - in Ford currently lowest model is Figo & over populated. Capacity of the particular service centre remains the same but branches increased at different odd locations. We need to check each point discussed when giving for servicing & while taking delivery. I paid Rs.6,23,000 on road in Jun'10 - how much it costs now? Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk Edited October 26, 2012 by admirer2000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

csmart 472 Report post Posted October 26, 2012 @Amitabh I didn't try automatic as my family is against it. I also personally prefer driving manual. I think even automatic should also be good. Auto is good in heavy traffic area and on highway manual gives you more control. @Aalok thanx for the compliments... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
