Go to samad autos near KMDC, work is reliable

ABS sensor needs to be checked. May need cleaning or replacement.

Please avoid MK disc pads and shoes. They are poor quality, and wear out quickly.

There are different methods for brake bleeding. What our mechanics mostly do is first open a bleeding screw located on caliper, and ask you to press the brake pedal a number of times. In this way air comes out of the lines. Then, bleeding screw is closed and brake pedal is released.

do you mean ABS Speed sensors? their was one speed sensor with broken wire because of it the abs wasn't working, i fixed that and their is no ABS error code now. that means the ABS Sensor are okay.

and do you suggest me to do the break bleeding procedure?

[UAHMAD]

Yes, ABS wheel speed sensor.

If the wire has been fixed and sensor was also cleaned then ABS should be working fine.

Secondly, there is no harm in getting brake bleeding done. It's a simple process.

[farazshah06]

sensors weren't cleaned. are you confirm i should clean up my all 4 sensors?

[UAHMAD]

You don't need to clean all four sensors.

The scanner will show exactly which of the four ABS wheel speed sensors is giving error. So that one has to be taken out from where it is bolted on to the steering knuckle (behind the hub). There can be rust or dirt build - up etc. on the steering knuckle as well as on the sensor. Both should be cleaned with a brake dust cleaner or some other one.

If it still doesn't solve the problem then the sensor has to be replaced (Sometimes it gets broken from where it is bolted on to the knuckle. At other times it fails and the current is not passing through it to give signal to the ABS).

[Taimur92]

whenever if i press breaks little harder the ABS is triggered which seems to me very early or irrelevant.

How is the condition of your tires? In my experience, this usually happens when the tires have become hard or bald, and have lost grip for some reason. For e.g. in general euro star, the abs kicks in more frequently as compared to lets say Continental CC6.

[farazshah06]

i already told you. their is no error. if their would have any error then the tyres would have slipped.

[farazshah06]

tyres are new, but they are of some Chinese brand i think.

[UAHMAD]

A faulty ABS wheel speed sensor has more to do with the ABS getting triggered at low speeds (false ABS activation) rather than slipping wheels of the car. And this is exactly the problem that you mentioned.

I think you should go to a technician who has a good scanner to correctly identify the wheel where the speed sensor is giving fault. To me, cleaning of the sensor and the area around it shall solve the problem.

Rest is up to you.

[farazshah06]

thanks, i will try this,

[UAHMAD]

Complete wiring and sensor.

Sensor only. It is bolted on to the knuckle.

Well I just read your response. I used to get my toyota corolla model 1981 and 1984 both serviced from Western Motors in Karachi. Their mechanic used to put 1 litre diesel and one litre cheap oil for engine flushing. This he used to do only in case the drained engine oil was in bad condition or very dirty. I never noticed any bad effects whatsoever.

And I used to respect that engineer quite a bit as he had a lot of knowledge.

In new cars when engine oil is changed, the difference in drive is not that apparent, but in oldcars there was quite a lot of difference that you would feel on new oil change

I am getting slight vibration in the whole car both when idle and while driving, it's there all the time. Engine/oil mounting is fine. I got it checked from 3S they were clueless. They checked the engine mount and said it's all good, and vibration is normal. But I know it's not normal. It wasn't there before. It has developed over last one year.

So what can cause vibration other than the engine mount.

[UAHMAD]

There are a total of four mounts (including one transmission mount). So all four need to be inspected.

Secondly, please get the spark plugs checked also.

[Thinking]

Sometimes mount is broken from inside which seem ok upon normal inspection. needs to be checked with stethoscope kind of tool.

Aoa....i need to ask that i own a 2009 reborn only 111k driven ,engine is fully sealed and a fresh car just as new ALHAMDOLLILAH..i need to get 2nd oil changed and previously used caltex havoline and used 3.7 liters... should i use 3.7 l or 4 l of engine oil?

[tahatariq19]

add 3.7 liter then check the dipstick, if it's not at the max mark feel free to add the extra 0.3 liters later.
I pour 4 Liter at every oil change.

Does anyone know if the driver side mirror's glass can be replaced?
Someone bumped into the mirror and broke the glass, the side mirror is fine it's just the glass that's broken.

[pwuser159749911157]

Thanks for the reply.... what i wanted to ask that what is the companys recommendations?
