Azadpur, like much of Delhi, presents a challenging environment for cars — heavy traffic, pollution, rough roads, frequent stops, and extreme weather swings (heat in summer, cold and smog in winter). Over time, these stresses lead to recurring faults. Below is a list of common problems local motorists face — and how a reliable workshop like Mistri Motors can diagnose and fix them.
1. Engine Overheating / Cooling System Issues
Symptoms & causes:
Temperature gauge rising into red zone
Steam or smell of coolant
Heater not working properly
Radiator clogging or leaks
Water pump, thermostat, or hose failures
Why common in Delhi / Azadpur:
The ambient temperature, heavy idling in congestion, and dusty air make radiator fins clog quickly. Also, coolant may be topped up with poor-quality fluid or water instead of proper antifreeze mix.
How Mistri Motors can fix:
Pressure test radiator and hoses to find leaks
Flush coolant, clean radiator core
Replace worn hoses, thermostat, or water pump
Check and clean radiator fins (gentle brushing)
Ensure proper coolant mix and check overflow reservoir
2. Battery / Starting Problems
Symptoms & causes:
Engine cranks slowly or not at all
Electrical components (lights, horns) dim
Corroded battery terminals
Failing alternator or parasitic drain
Why common in Delhi:
Frequent short trips, long idling hours, high temperatures, and sometimes weak-quality batteries lead to early battery failure.
How Mistri Motors can fix:
Load test battery, check state of charge
Inspect and clean terminals & clamps
Test alternator / charging system
Replace battery with a good quality one (matching Ah rating)
Check for parasitic drain (e.g. stuck relays or accessories)
3. Brake Issues & Noisy Brakes
Symptoms & causes:
Squeaking, squealing, or grinding noises
Reduced braking performance or pedal going low
Uneven brake pad wear
Warped rotors / drums
Accumulated dust, especially in monsoon
Why common here:
Delhi’s dusty environment, rain, and substandard roads accelerate wear. Also, many drivers delay brake servicing.
How Mistri Motors can fix:
Inspect pads, shoes, rotors, drums
Replace worn brake pads / shoes
Resurface or replace warped rotors
Clean calipers and guide pins, lubricate sliding parts
Bleed brake lines, change brake fluid if contaminated
4. Suspension, Steering & Wheel Alignment Problems
Symptoms & causes:
Car pulls to one side
Uneven tyre wear
Steering wheel vibration
Clunking noises over bumps
Why in Delhi / Azadpur:
Poor roads, potholes, speed bumps, and rough patches take a heavy toll on suspension components, tie rods, ball joints, shock absorbers etc.
How Mistri Motors can fix:
Inspect shocks, struts, bushes, ball joints, tie rods
Replace damaged or worn suspension parts
Perform wheel alignment (camber, toe, caster)
Balance wheels
Use quality parts suited for rough roads
5. AC / Cooling / Ventilation Failures
Symptoms & causes:
AC not cooling enough / blowing warm air
Strange smells or noises from vents
Refrigerant leak
Compressor failure or low refrigerant
Why common:
Delhi summers are brutal; AC systems run hard. Dust, debris, and poor maintenance cause leaks, clogged filters, or failing compressors.
How Mistri Motors can fix:
Pressure test AC circuit, locate leaks
Recharge with correct refrigerant + lubricant
Replace faulty compressor, receiver/drier, expansion valves
Clean or replace cabin air filters
Check blower motor functionality
6. Transmission / Gearbox / Clutch Issues
Symptoms & causes:
Hard shifting or jerky gear changes
Clutch slipping / delayed engagement
Gear grinding or noise
Transmission fluid problems
Why common:
Frequent stop-and-go traffic, improper gear shifting by drivers, and delayed servicing accelerate wear.
How Mistri Motors can fix:
Diagnose clutch plate, pressure plate, release bearing
Replace worn clutch kit if needed
Check and change transmission fluid
Inspect synchronizers, gears, shift linkage
Adjust clutch hydraulics or cable
7. Electrical / Wiring / Sensor Faults & Dashboard Warning Lights
Symptoms & causes:
“Check engine” light or other warnings
Intermittent faults (lights, windows, sensors)
Faulty wiring, corroded connectors
Sensor failures (O2 sensor, MAF, throttle etc.)
Why common:
Delhi’s dust, moisture, and heat cause corrosion, wire insulation damage, and connector failures. Also, roads cause vibration stress to wiring.
How Mistri Motors can fix:
Plug in OBD / diagnostic scanner to get fault codes
Narrow down faulty sensor or circuit
Replace sensor / module (e.g. O2, MAP, MAF etc.)
Check wiring harnesses, repair corroded connectors
Secure loose wires, insulate and protect
8. Fuel System / Injector / Filter Problems
Symptoms & causes:
Poor fuel economy
Engine misfire or rough idle
Clogging or failure of injectors
Fuel pump issues
Why common:
Fuel quality in some pumps may be inconsistent. Filters may not be changed on time. Dust and contaminants find their way into the fuel system.
How Mistri Motors can fix:
Replace fuel filters
Clean or replace injectors
Test fuel pump pressure
Check fuel lines for leaks or clogging
Use fuel additives judiciously (if recommended)
9. Oil Leaks & Lubrication Issues
Symptoms & causes:
Oil spots under car
Sudden drop in oil level
Noise from engine (insufficient lubrication)
Worn gaskets, seals, or timing cover leaks
Why common in Delhi:
Heat cycles expand and contract engine parts. Many cars may have been driven long without changing gaskets, seals degrade, and cheap engine oil accelerates wear.
How Mistri Motors can fix:
Inspect for leaks (head gasket, oil pan, valve cover gasket, seals)
Replace faulty gaskets / seals
Use proper grade / quality engine oil
Inspect and replace oil filter
Clean crankcase ventilation path
