Miraculously working fine... After dealership visit, last oil was just 3,000km driven we still got it changed and filter as well... To fully synthetic

Miracle, no doubt.

I think, it was just some loose sensor, that temporarily broke the circuit and switched off the engine.

[ha125]

The engine sounded like a DIESEL engine and the noise was getting louder and louder... My guess is that it was running dry as OIL PUMP might've stopped working...

[khuram2703]

Thats why i am not able to digest how it becomes smooth again.... if Crank shaft ran over dry Con Rod and Main Bearings then what would have the condition of engine.....

Do carry out compression check, Borescope and Oil sample check from PCSIR lab

[tiger4]

what you want to check from PCSIR lab. only acid number, suspended solid and viscosity have to measured to check the quality of oil.
Specific gravity matters but its related to viscosity and density.
one more thing moisture in oil. no need to go to PCSIR for that

Meguiar's Mirror Glaze M21 Synthetic Sealant, did you apply by yourself or get the it done by any professional?

Meguiar's Mirror Glaze M21 Synthetic Sealant, did you apply by yourself or get the it done by any professional?

Myself. Just get M21 and a good applicator pad. Car should be washed and clean. Shake bottle, prime the applicator with the sealant and start applying. Apply to whole car, paint should be nice and cool, not in sunlight. Wait at least 20-25 minutes then start removing with a microfiber towel. And done! Once finished car should not be exposed to moisture or water for at least 12 hours, I think.

If you're really picky then you can give it another coat the next day, using the same procedure as above.

And if you're really picky about paint finish, you can apply something like Meguiar's Ultimate Polish first and then apply M21 Sealant.

[tiger4]

From where you bought it

[Rahat083144]

I think I bought it online from autohub, but Meguiar's products are also available at Optimum Motorsports Zamzama.

It had a flex. It could be bent easily with finger.

Meguiar M7 Mirror Glaze Show Car Glaze & eguiar's Mirror Glaze M21 Synthetic Sealant, what is the differencfe, M21 is equally well for white paints??

Meguiar M7 Mirror Glaze Show Car Glaze & eguiar's Mirror Glaze M21 Synthetic Sealant, what is the differencfe, M21 is equally well for white paints??

M7 is essentially a polish. More geared towards old single stage paints. It will bring out shine, but will not protect nor last long.

M21 is a sealant, which will bring out shine, protect the paint and last long. Yes it's equally good for light finish, dark finish and metallic finish. I've used it on each of these finishes.

I have both M21 and M7 and don't like M7 too much.

While I haven't got any response on the quoted question, another query have come up.

I would be leaving my car at home parked for 2 weeks while going abroad. Anyone has an idea how will Oriel's battery respond when I return and try to start the car? Should I remove the battery connection before leaving?

Also, I'd really appreciate if someone can respond to the earlier query as well.

Thanks

Dear Friends,
I got struck in a hail strom and got roof, bonut and trunk damaged with dents. Sunroof also got broken. Can you guide me good paint workshop from where I can get it repaired in Lahore.
My car is insured I suppose it should be covered in insurance.
If I get new parts fixed after paint and get roof repaired, what effect it will have on resale?

Meguiar's Mirror Glaze M21 Synthetic Sealant

I can only give you a response based on my experience with 9th gen Civic. With 2 weeks of no use, you will have issues starting the car. Safe bet is to have someone start the car a few times for a few minutes.

[darthvader]

Can someone tell me how good is ZIC oil for Turbo? Their oil change shop is literally 2 door away from my house and I've been using it for years for my Move, diesel Corolla and all previous cars I've had.

[khurem]

Thanks. That would indeed be my first preference, but no one would be there during the 2 weeks, so not possible unfortunately.

[jklodhi]

I went for 15 days and came back and started car without any issue. Just ensure that battery has water .
