Is there any other diesel purge available in Pakistan except Liqui moly and in large quantity packing

[sameerulhaq064]

Unfortunately, the engine didn’t start so I’m guessing the fuel pump is done. Any other way to check this?

I did change the battery as I knew the old one was a bit weak. Anyway, I’ll have to tow it to a mechanic tomorrow and will see what he says.

If you are are going to drive in skardu on christmas day or are planning a trip to Kargil - use a 0W40 so the engine can actually start (fuel treatment required too)

Let's say 0W-40 for Skardu in December and 30W-40 for a hot day of June in Thar desert so that the viscocity remains same but the climate specification of oil comes into play according to climate?

Yes I read that post of @xulfiqar (and I am more inclined towards that approach) but I also read the following

The engine will maintain its operating temperature whether its tandoor hot/freezar cold outside.
What matters is the bearing clearances, the design, manufacturer's oil specifications for that engine and the pour point and oil viscosity at startup + operating temps.

Yes viscocity remains standard for an engine according to it's design, the question is: Does the climate grade specification for engine oils varies for hotter climates as well?

[ahmedstudio]

Yes I understand that preventing demage to engine bearings is one of the major jobs of engine oil. You may like to refer to my previous post in this thread where I mentioned a method for prefilling oil filters that are installed horizontally/upside down (I tagged you in that post).
(Whether we soak or Prefill, that is another debaite and I am still waiting for responses on that in refered post of mine).

The question is not about viscocity igt now. The question is about if the same principle of climate grade variation applies for hotter climates too, or just for colder climates.

@tintin1 whats the situation/updates with your vehicle's wiring

Well, whether you use 4x4 or not but imo all the systems should be in working conditions. If you can't find the wiring, try to find electrician who can build the wiring.

PS: I just checked with an electrician Rehman. He said he has the wiring diagrams for this cruiser and can build the wiring from scratch. Just go and have a checkup.

Well so far it's still parked outside my house. Did what @Xulfiqar Bhai said but it's still not starting. I'm very busy nowadays so I think it'll be a few days before it starts.

[sameerulhaq064]

That was the plan but I'm very busy hence couldn't find the time to tow it to a workshop.
