zulfiqar bhai please help!
i've toyota passo 2012 with 50000 on oddo, 1 kR-FE with CVT. brother from last week i've noticed a drastic change in pick, i feel some jerks and engine have become very noisy, shifting is not smooth and average have also came down.
my mechanic is saying remove the cat converter and every thing will be clear, now you please tell me what to do exactly?

if the cat converter is not melted, you can get it cleaned.

the compressor trips when car stops at signal or at idle. only after car reaches the optimum engine temperature

this usually happens when radiator fins are clogged - warm air from the condenser doesn't flow through the radiator with ease - and gets back to the condenser, raising up head pressure and tripping the ac compressor

OR

IF condenser and radiator fins are nice and clean - your ac system is low on refrigerant OR something else is wrong

@xulfiqar

I replaced my fuel pump a few weeks ago in my 92 teg. Replaced it with a regular bosch fuel pump. It was supposed to be brand new - bought from the market in Tibet center.

Anyway, my car stopped running last night. Found that there's no fuel pressure. I can't hear the fuel pump prime either. I called up an electrician and he found that fuel pump wire is sparking. Does that mean I have another bad fuel pump?

@xulfiqar bhai,i'm facing an issue in my Honda City 2001 D13B engine that my radiator is popping minor bubbles and water level is also declining on very low rate but no oil and water mixture. Now my mechanic is saying that he is 90% sure that your head and block is heavily rusted and might needed to replace, however a 10% chance of head gaskit needs replacement and all ok to go. Performance has no issues at all. Please help me out in this scenario

@xulfiqar bro took my mira to tariq road to mamu mirza a.c quick cool. he checked the car and said ur radiator fins r clogged that is why the ac trips and doesn't turns on again. he removed the front bumper washed it with pressurized water, lots and lots of dirt came out. he checked the internal sucking by fan by placing a cloth on condenser and said ist 50% improved, as all the system is working fine its not worth to open the whole system and clean it so better use it like this spray pressurized water every time you wash the car so the dirt comes out and amazingly it solved the issue completely. just curious is it a temporary fix or that is what the issue was? 2ndly as mira has a combined fan for radiator and condenser like mehran i was thinking if we can add a fan in front of the condenser a small slender fan like that of an autorickshaw? thinking of adding one in my mehran though its ac is working okay but you can always do something to improve mehran

I saw a mechanic pouring Caltex Delo Gold in suzuki margalla's transmission i asked why don't you use gear oil? he says this oil is very good to use in these trannys of old suzukis and this oil makes it shift smoother?

[saboor73]

^^ margalla with Honda transmission maybe (H}

@xulfiqar sir
Hope you are doing good. I need your guidance to solve an issue occurred in my Daihatsu Move custom. The issue is that it reduces oil. No blue smoke from exhaust, no rough idling. I got the compression test done and it came out to be 148, 140 and 138. I got it checked by my mechanic and he told me that your turbo is weak and it is throwing out the oil. Secondly whenever i pour oil it gets too dirty very quickly. Exhaust pipe is black too. First i was thinking that im pouring more engine oil then required. Poured 3 litres for the first time but then poured 2.25 as website says that it should be 2.3. Toyota people said that ur car is 110% fine. Just use toyota oil. Pls help

Last time i checked my oil level after 1200km running and it came out to be 1 litre less then i poured.

Nope
Margalla requires a high viscosity gear oil

Dear Experts Assalam-O-Alaikum!, I have a radiator cap installed in my car that say 0.90 (Honda City Vario 2006), there is absolutely no issue of pressure and overheating, I have heard that 1.1 is the genuine cap given by the manufacturer, should I change or not or I don't have the correct version of information?

Use 1.1 bar radiator cap

[adnanniazi_2000]

Use 1.1 bar radiator cap

Thx brother I will Insha Allah as soon as possible (at this weekend at most). Plus can I ask you about a problem my elder bro is facing in his Vti 2003 Civic?

[adnanniazi_2000]

Use 1.1 bar radiator cap

Bhai Jaan, His car's engine is making a lot of pressure with A/C on. Mobil oil bhi atleast quarter ltr kam kar deti hai within 3,000 KMs. It also gets over heat as well. (Honda Civic 2003 VTi prosmatec) We all are almost certain that engine is weak. What should be the best solution, he is of opinion that he should change the whole head assembly including gear (prosmatec it is), ignition etc etc. Or he should only get the rings work done? What do you say? I am of opinion that we should first check the A/c if it is giving load on the engine, then it would damage the new engine as well. Please guide
