You told me that thd Chinese central locking needs to be fully water proof. So today I got replaced whole system. The relay wires were melted and the fuse was also melted.
This time I got relay installed inside. Also previously stock wiring was used but this time new wires were routed.
Is it enough to install relay inside near driver side kick panel or I should myself cover all 4 motors with plastic?
I asked the guy to wrap plastic around motors but he said that these are waterproof.

Today in morning when I try to change the gear, I could not. So in afternoon I went to mechanic driving in 2nd gear. But when mechanic checks it, the clutch starts behaving normally. And now it is working fine. Why is this happening? Also the fluid level remain same.

One more thing I notice is I can put it in reverse but all other gears were not working. Also pedal don't have that pressure which it should have. But now all symptoms vanished without doing anything.

[Hassan1991]

i have a doubt on synchronizer which is not good. hope it's not that.
maybe pedal got stuck somewhere!

WD-40 normally available at car stores is a mild lubricant and not fit for electrical connection. Kindly use an electrical contact cleaner spray or carb cleaner if you dont have elctrical contact cleaner.

the guns are not really water proof, the rubber boot breaks down quite fast. you should wrap up them in plastic.

i dont understand about the relay. i dont have any relays for the locks. they are powered directly by the alarm system of the car.

i am thinking air in the clutch system....

I don't have alarm system or remote key in my car. So the relay is there to receive driver's door lock signal and give signals to all 3 other doors.

Does this model came with remote key from factory?

How can air developed through one night?

I want to know that my heater control valve is broken and now mechanic saying that I will not find replacement anywhere. So he said that he will put the hose directly. Is there any disadvantages without heater valve?

Also my heater lever is hard, means I cannot move it from cold position, I don't know why? Does that lever controls 2 wire one heater control valve and other blend door?

Thanks

[Hassan1991]

Yes it is important as it will not close the hot coolant flowing in the heater core.
One wire goes to heater valve not sure about other.
Don't know your car is motorised or simple.

[hasankhurshid29]

I don't think I have motorized blend doors but is it true that I will not find the heater control valve?

Is it available in US, I just searched

[Hassan1991]

You can get it from market. Not an expensive item.

[hasankhurshid29]

This is how the engine oil is looking and I don't have the oil in container for comparison
But now another problem has arise. The dipstick is showing half level and there is so much leaking from distributor area on to the transmission. Whole transmission is soaked in engine oil.

[Hassan1991]

Get the seal changed first then go for oil, it's wasted enough.

[hasankhurshid29]

Should I go for total quartz 9000 5w30 fully synthetic or any other?

[hasankhurshid29]

Personally I want to go for total quartz but the car is driven very less so should I go for cheap oil?

[immad100]

This one has to be the dirtiest engine bay I've seen.
Jk! Anyways, pull out the distributor, there's a small ring seal that sits on the apex where distributor sits against the valve cover. Get it replaced. Get your engine bay cleaned. Get some new oil and you'll be good to go.

Ps: check your valve cover gasket too.

[immad100]

5w30 is a thin viscosity. Never run thin oils in an old engine. There's nothing fancy in going for a synthetic oil in a 20+ year old engine. Get some havoline 20w50 and call it a day.
