disconnecting ABS is not a solution to your problem call up & visit Obama Car care Tipu block lahore 0321 4106898 service charges apply - the local mind set of machining the rotors at every disc pad change is another screw up idea of tin box mechanics

But dear i am having trouble with abs. New genuine pads installed, rotor faced. But brakes produce strange noise and the braking distance is too large. Any suggestion?

then please visit obama car care 0321 4106898 and request the person to check for the pivot bolt integrity of steering box & control arms, and help you resolve the issue @syncview

read this for some info

I have never had anyone spray water into the car's engine bay. The car is washed regularly but the engine bay usually remains dry. It is a hybrid so I've never had anyone bring water near its electrics.

The car did not display any errors when the scanner was plugged in nor is it giving any errors on the odometer.
I suppose its part of general wear and tear? The car is driven 130,000KMs and has been maintained according to the maintenance schedule in the book.

For braking issue? I thought it as abs fault.

am so sorry i mixed up ur corolla ABS with Honda Steering -
cautiously i suggest drive carefully and avoid high speed HARD Braking for no reason, once the pads are seated over machined rotors car will become better n stable at hard braking.

I want to disable the abs of my gli 1.3 mt. 2012....i checked the net, came to know that i have to take out the abs fuse. I searched the fuse box of my car, but unable to find the two abs fuses.
My question
1. Where to locate the fuses?
2. Which one to take out, one or both. If one then which one?
Please

@xulfiqar ! Do i need to connect both of the vacuum ports to the brake booster ? I have a 20v silvertop. Currently the vacuum from throttle #4 is blocked and the vacuum from throttle #1 is connected to the brake booster, it has a check valve. So do i need to connect the 2nd vacuum to the booster too ? Booster has 1 outlet for vacuum ! If i do will it improve braking ?

Sir just read multiple posts of yours. I need to know if i can actually use Triptonic Transmission on a regular manual driven car. Would that be possible and what major modifications would i need to install it to a Honda Civic 2000 ???

@xulfiqar I read in another group u said that maintenance free battery require 14.5 - 15 volts for charging. my car alternator is generating 14.6- 14.7 volt while idling and 14.9 with lights and fan on, 15.33V I got with maximum load and high rpm. is this ok? or I need to reduce the power. electrician did something and volts dropped to 14.2 volts max butI told him to make it go up.

A complicated problem has arisen with my stock Ke 70.I recently changed its float needle,jets and other carb. components using a carb.kit.Now it won't start on petrol in the morning but rather starts on GAS.It starts if I pour petrol directly into carb. or if I push start it.Then during the day it runs completely fine on petrol.No hicups,missing,black smoke etc.Changed vacuum pump,all fuel lines still won't start in the morning

the aluminium bolts needs to be changed and use proper mercedes benz sealant in a very right quantity..there is a complete kit available over the web just google it.

I need to change engine oil of my Suzuki Swift Manual Transmission at 10,000 KM. right now ODO is 7000.

As per manual it says SAE 10W-40 API SM. Previously I used SGO Ultimate from 3S Dealer.

Suggest me the best available engine oil which runs for 5K. As I am thinking to keep the drain interval to 5K max.

NOTE: SGO Ultimate is Mineral Based oil.

-stable idle but vibrating a lot
-very poor acceleration
-car vibrates even after gaining speed
-smell of fuel from exhaust

I was driving and suddenly these things started to happen. Idk what exactly is the problem but 6 months back while changing a spark plug the mechanic broke one of the coils at the joint but he glued it back on and everything was working perfectly.

Is this a problem related to the ignition coils? What could be any other reason?

Finally solved my issue of knocking after oil drain. I was lucky to get away with only one big-end bearing being slightly damaged. Crank and other 2 were fine but replaced all 3 bigen to be on safe side
