Can you please suggest me a good 7 seater family van

[Xulfiqar]

your pictures are not usable, there are pipes and mounts blocking the view of the reference points, please clean the main crank pulley too so you can actually see the timing marks.

@xulfiqar bhai my car started fine. No issues apart from some small fuse that got blown (for case reference: connected wrong terminals on battery of my passo) now how do I know if the alternator or its voltage regulator has been damaged?

check the charging voltage with a multimeter.

[Aftab17]

can anyone guide plz?

@xulfiqar
Bro honda 3s and honda manual both call for oil change after every 3 months or 5k running which ever comes first. 5k running is logical but what abt the every 3 months change if after 3 months running is just 1-2k. Doesnt seem logical. Need ur guidance

Thanks. So its time to change rotors. Any suggestion on brand? any tips to avoid cause-of-death created by our desi mechanics? I cannot DIY but I can guide my mechanic to follow the correct procedure.

Bump... (H)

Last bump next weekend, going to change rotors,,

@xulfiqar i adjusted crank pulley at tdc looking through v groove n arrow n aligned the tdc mark. but at cam 7 O mark is little mis aligned at tdc. car is consuming fuel alot after engine swap from d15b2 to ď14z2(92hp d15 90hp d14z2) but i didnt swap ecu coz d15b2 ecu is simple fuel injection (sfi) ecu and stock d14z2 is also using the same ecu p3s ( i dnt knw map difference).

the sensor that my ecu dont have

no o2 ,cyp ,knock,crank, sensor and no catalyst and coil ignition

i mean its very basic fuel injection ecu i didnt feel black smoke too in exhaust ... IMA is set to 2.33V

kindly mre dard ki dawa kro

whats your location?

if you can go to board office. the place where there is burger king, dilpasand, pizza hut...

coming from hyderi, do a u turn from the board office signal, then keep to the left. you will see a dunkin donuts. keep going forwards, theres a bank on the corner. take the left turn. then go straight till you come to roundabout, turn left again. go straight. towards the end of the road, there is MJ battery on the left. its run by an uncle name jawaid. trust worthy person.

he has the AGS battery tonic water with him.

I tested the water with a tds meter i have at home. it is really 0-1ppm, as advertised by AGS, safe for radiator.

Bro i had also bought the same battery tonic for my radiator...the shopkeeper was skeptical of me using a distilled water intended for battery in a radiator. So i thought of first testing it out before putting it in the radiator. I placed few iron nails and other stuff in a container and filled it wid the AGS battery tonic. To my astonishment, just after two days all of them caught rust and had turned the water pale brown... I m now planning to carry out same test wid mineral water before finally deciding to use any of them in the radiator. As of now, i wont be putting distilled water (battery specific) in my radiator. I will soon post the pics as well

you should NEVER use distilled water only in a radiator!!!! thats why anti rust additives are always added to it.

water contains oxygen!! oxygen WILL react with iron to make iron oxide.

why on earth are you putting in just water in your radiator? your engine is poisoned...

you need to put coolant. either concentrated prepared with distilled water or premixed coolant.

after that use the distilled water only for topping up in little quantity if needed.

Dont u worry... i would be putting in coolant/anti rust in it. The point i wanted to make was that battery tonic somehow accelerated the process of rusting. It would be clear after i post the pics. All iron nails that i had dipped in the tonic had real thick layer of rust, like they hav been there for a long time. I m not sure, but maybe the ph level for battery tonic is kept higher than the normal water, thus causing extra rust

i think i never said that i m going to put ONLY DISTILLED WATER in my radiator...this point did cross my mind to make it clear for the audience before any confusion, but nevertheless left it to ur judgement. Anyways, i always use anti-rust/anti-freeze in my car

Mehran ka yahi rona hai sab ka. If you are full time ac driver (which everyone is, in summers) then Id suggest you ke itna kharcha nahi krro mehran per bech ker mira ya jdm alto lelo their ac's are way better than mehran's though they lack in pick than mehran.

[aliraza100000]

And long run me engine bhi weak karega mehran ka ac. .
