@Xulfiqar
Kindly suggest a good engine swap for Khyber1996?
What about new suzuki k10A engine?

[Xulfiqar]

Suzukis own G series engines are good. They will fit but a bit tight.

Your car will also be showing buckling symptoms at this age, so fix those too while changing engines,

@rozzzzz

Is your best help here

@Xulfiqar bhai,
Kindly suggest some good home a/c repairing Technician or shop in Karachi who can do proper vacuuming before filling gas.

In one of my home Haier split A/C, 7 times gas has escaped in last 2 years.Each time, leak was found at different place, even changed whole inner coil too.

I bought new from Metro, also got installed by installer of Metro..... And today I found that it needs gas 8th time too.

Please help as I am getting too much dishearted3

[Xulfiqar]

No idea now as its been more than a decade now, the guys I knew there that did such work are no longer in Pakistan however..

call sabir car A/C

get his recommendation for home A/C service tech that owns vacuum pump and nitrogen bottle,

I have heard that the pipes that connect out door and in door unit get brittle with time. Each time ac wala takes off the out door unit (to check leak) bends these pipes which results in minor cracks and hence gas leakage. Give it a try buy new pipes and see if it works. (Heard it from one of my colleagues who had similar prob resolved once the pipes were changed)

[brownrose78]

Last time(7th time) it was changed too but still same situation

[flyingfeather]

Sorry to hear that

[dayrider]

How old is your ac

[brownrose78]

Almost 2 years

[dayrider]

8 times in 2 years... Did this thing not have warranty? What company is it from

[brownrose78]

Haier and they did 1 time only in warranty which included gas refilling plus all joints

[dayrider]

This must be a faulty piece.... Defected pieces have such issues. You should have asked for a replacement piece when it happened the first time

@Xulfiqar Bhai !!!
Is the temperature guage normal ? Did a 180k run last week just because a 5vz Prado was messing around 🤦‍♂️
The guage climbed up from 5th - 6th marking and kind of stayed there untill I smoked his b**t.
After that it came back to the usual 45% sweep and stayed there for the whole journey.

Ensure system is rust free and coolant is present with working thermostat and radiator cap.

Do you think the engine should've run colder when you floored it?

Is yours diesel or petrol?
Cause the oil pressure seems to be a bit on lower side.
Isn't it supposed to be on 75% when accelerating.

@Xulfiqar is it possible to fit toyota revo brake rotors and calipers in Toyota surf 3rd gen? Or how to upgrade the brakes? I dont want to move from stock rims hense asking for Tundra upgrade.

Brakes for 3rd gen Surf are terrible. Suggest a solution

[bmuqtadir]

They are genuinely crap .. but also make sure you are using genuine toyota brake pads .. fake or cheaper brake pads from vendors like "MK" exhibit brake fade real fast..
