How much will a Maruti Alto Vx cost, and which diesel engine will be best suited to it? Also, can you please specify the cost that will occur during the engine transplantation? Guru Datta, via email We wouldn't advise trying to shoehorn a diesel mill into the Alto hood. The car is engineered - right from suspension to overall chassis integrity and ride and handling - to take a lightweight petrol engine and that is the way it should be driven. |
Firstly, the crashworthiness of the car will become suspect, and fitting a diesel mill inside it is a job even Maruti engineers will shy away from. If you're looking for a decent diesel hatch, there are good cars available in the market. Car trouble? param@business-standard.com |
