in cont. @xulfiqar sir

is this a shock insert or something else?

when i search this part number on ebay i get a complete strut without spring.

BILSTEIN 21-031380 (21031380) Shock Absorber

For gabriel i have 2 strut options (Left and right)
and one insert option
GABRIEL G35272 Shock Absorber (Front left)
GABRIEL G35277 Shock Absorber (front right)
GABRIEL G44982 Shock Absorber (insert)

I am going to a shop, will see what parts he has for sale.

Thanks. You are really helping me great to restore my car to genuine condition

Edit:
Well that one guy was trying to sell me KYB shocks which were for 1986 corolla.

Now I am checking if i find exact KYB, Tokico or Gabriel Insert made for my car.

@xulfiqar my 98 Mehran is giving white smoke in winters and when I put my finger inside silencer to check, its dropping water (which it used to) when I accelerate the smoke goes long by 2 feet and isn't thick. Whats up with it? Normal or any damages or weakening possibility to engine?

Could be weak battery, as well as dirty air cleaner.

[arsalankhan321]

Which car

Honda city 2002.

[aamirahsan89]

Honda city 2002.

It was probably cold, start her up every third or fourth day. If to be left stationary, leave her start for 10 mins

Air filter is also dirty .I clean it also.

[aamirahsan89]

Since you are in Karachi, cold can't be a factor probably battery

[arsalankhan321]

One more thing is it mandatory to recharged battery when topped up with distilled water?

[aamirahsan89]

After topping up, leave the vehicle start for 20-25 mins and it gets charged by itself and yes its necessary to charge

xulfiqar bhai, I need ur help urgently. my manual civic vti 2005 is badly leaking oil. tried to get it fixed some time ago. my mechanic replaced the tappet cover packing. the problem was partially resolved. but now it has increased alot. I am sharing the pictures of the moisture in the engine due to oil leakage. I went to my mechanic again and this time he laid down all possibilities e.g. oil chamber leakage, mtf leakage, vtec solenoid leakage, power oil leakage etc. I want to get rid of this problem once and for all. please guide me and refer me to a good mechanic or workshop for this work. need help urgently.
