Great work Ganesh ! Small tip i'd like to add is to squeeze the hoses as you pour the new coolant. It will help eradicate air from the cooling system. The thermostat valve has a air bleed valve. As you squeeze the hoses the coolant is pushed in and at the top radiator cap you can see the air bubbles
10:44 I just want to let you know that the vacuum check valve for the hot restart system in your carburetor is installed incorrectly. The black side should be the inlet, and the red side should face the hot restart actuator (diaphragm).
Thank you Brittos, I’ve checked. The black side is indeed the inlet side and red side the outlet. The tubing on the outlet side (red) is longer and giving an impression that I’ve connected it the other way.
Wow, what a fantastic video and such clear explanation and attention to detail...truly inspiring..personally i too would like to embark on a zen restoration project but how are you able to source the parts?? I tried looking for a new zen carburettor and that itself was impossible..well done and keep up the good work...
Hello Ivan, thank you for the feedback. I really appreciate it. 😊 As regards parts for the Zen, Maruti has nearly stopped all the parts but whatever is stashed away in some random corner of some MGP store’s warehouse can be traced using their system. If you approach them with the part number, they can search and see if it’s there somewhere. As for Carburettor, get it from KPACCO, New Delhi. Amar is the contact person, +91 95995 57487
Hi Jomon, please check with your local mechanics and spare parts shop. Very hard to get nowadays. Complete carburettor assembly is available from KPACO. Contact Mr Amarnath Sharma - 95995 57487.
Can you explain the use of the thermostat switch here ? Aren't these thermostats supposed to automatically open when the operating temperature is reached ?
You’re right about the thermostat. The thermostat switch turns on the cooling fan behind the radiator when the coolant temperature crosses a threshold.
Haha dude, I’m nearly done with the Polo DIYs. There’s one scheduled for this Sunday so watch out for that. Front parking sensors is in the pipeline but mostly pictures since I did not click any videos.
Brother i am owning a exide care showroom, and i do own a 1996 zen, i recommend not to use exide distillo - distilled water for coolsnt since it contains some acid mixing in it, which may corrode the cooling system
Good detailed video mate, but might I suggest not to rinse the cleaning agents or other corrosive agents down your bathroom drain for environmental reasons. Plus this might act as incriminating evidence if the municipal corporation stumbles upon it. It was commendable what you did with the coolant by putting it back in the empty water jugs.
Perfect work, good presentation and explained various parts used with part number
Thanks a lot Prasthoop. 😊
Very exhaustive cleaning with clear explanation.
Thank you Mahendran. 😊
@@GaneshBalan Do u use a different solution for cleaning the radiator
@mahendranr1317 For flushing, I’ve used Mannol radiator cleaning concentrate.

Thanks Ashton. I’ll keep it in mind. 👍🏻

Also change old radiator cap for better opening way to reservoir coolant tank
Thanks for the feedback man. Will keep it in mind. 👍🏻

Thanks. I’m wondering where else could one wash this condenser coil without letting it drain this way. Do you have some ideas?
@@GaneshBalan That's a good question, maybe wash it in one of those containers like the ones we have for collecting oil or something similar.
Still waiting for showing vaccum connection video
It’s done and scheduled. Will schedule it for one of the Sundays in May.
