@xulfiqar , dear brother, I have corolla 2010 xli model about 100k driven so far. When I turn ON the AC it cools but when speed goes above 45 kmph it trips and gets restart after 10 minutes or have to restart it manually. Of we drive at 45 or under it works fine. I have showed it to many mechanics in lahore they said whole AC will be replaced, or compressor and condensor. Can you please guide me about the problem and it's possible solution I can go with. Thanks

If you want an american sourced product then order a tube of superlube silicone lubricating paste, or 3M silicone paste.

@arzaam.bhatti --- I would suggest you buy locally like @margallar mentions here, would be cheaper and quicker

Thanks and is there any difference between 3M silicone paste and 3M clear silicone paste ?

Also superlube silicone lubricating grease with PTFE is the one right or superlube synthetic grease NLGI 2

I want primariliy for brakes servicing, but also for electrical terminals etc.

Thanks and regards

That golden tin (silicoslip) you see on their website is half a kg of silicone grease, I used to buy that in Pakistan.

but if you are able to get silicone grease, then regular 3M silicone paste in a jar is great, If you are buying the superlube you need the silicone lubricating paste not the synthetic grease.

they make 3 kinds of silicone pastes, one is plain, the other has a dash of PTFE and the last is a GM genuine product with loads and loads of PTFE in the silicone paste, Its the absolute best for brake jobs. They also have a spray which is sold as a genuine GM product, its really really good for cleanly lubricating almost anything.

I like their products, low cost and great quality - I also have their heat sink paste which I use on ignitors etc, it was 6 dollars for a tube and has about more than 30 times the quantity of the little syringes you buy of it.

@xulfiqar bro, what's impacts of blocking EGR valve in turbo Diesel engines?

[margallar]

that question really should have been for zulfiqar....

here goes

silicon grease---for wiring connectors and brakes
LM47---for cv joints and many other places
WD40
A good degreaser--for cleaning
antisieze

for brakes you only need brake cleaner, silicon grease and copper antisieze

[margallar]

BTW Adenwalla and sons used to have silicon grease....

[moizadil]

Xulfiqar sb ne aapka bola tha

I procured 3M degreaser that was bit expensive, and another was Grez Off that coasted around 750 but was 1liter (or may be .75L).

I feel that degreaser croaded battery terminal and few other bolts. Degreazer k liye bhee koi types hain??

2) Where to get brake cleaner, any particular brand name??

3) you mentioned copper antisieze, are there any other antisieze that I sould not confuse with?

4) which workshop you recommend for brake service. Aur kisi achay radiator walay ka patta ha lahore mai??

Certain ECUs can be reprogrammed, there could be a way to hack this one.
