it canot be done at home, the gauge with needle shows correct pressure but lights are not in sync with the gauge.
one cause for this is the oil accumulation in cylinders and kit. get them drained and lights will get fine, if not then gauge and lights synchronisation is needed.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I was already thinking of getting the oil drained. Didn't know that it may fix this problem also. Can this be done at TwinCity workshop? If no, any suggestions?

[_faisal_]

@Spectra:

One more question, and this is the most important:

How do you know so much about Spectra's technology? I can understand that an enthusiast can gather information about cars, but how do you know about one specfic car?

I will really appreciate if you could share your source of information.

Thanks.

[spectra]

first source is the car itself. driven 68000 kms on it.
always take interest in whats happening to it. google chacha. have good friends who are professionals and also learned a lot from PW.
BTW I am an accountant by profession

[_faisal_]

I also take interest in what's happening to the car. But I have driven it only 1000kms :), hence the difference between my knowledge and yours. And I do not have any friends who are car professionals or successful car enthusiasts :(.

My only lifeline, so far, for knowledge related to cars is PakWheels and its knowledgable contributers. I am happy to have this source

BTW, I am a Software Engineer by profession.

Now a small question: Can I get the oil drained at TwinCity workshop? What is meant by CNG equipment service?

Thanks.

[spectra]

@Faysal
nice to know more about u

Abount service
u can get CNG equipment service from Twin City Motors
They dont charge very heavy.

Can u post pics of ur ride here?

[_faisal_]

@Spectra:

Thanks.

I have visited TwinCity twice. They are not very expensive (and BTW, this is in comparison with service charges for Mehran :D).

I think, some time back, you had posted messages that the service of the dealers is not good (sorry if I'm wrong). Well, I have found it to be good (again this might be because my other experience is with Mehran :)). They also called at my home to inquire about my experience at workshop. I am happy so far.

I will post the pictures, but it will take some time, as I have to: create, review, edit, upload snaps. But I will surely try to do this.

P.S.: My name is Faisal not Fay, and its also easier to type

[spectra]

boss twin city is fine for routine maintenance
when it comes to major jobs, they are a pain and expansive.

[_faisal_]

hmm... what kind of jobs are we talking about? Overhauling etc? Any suggestions for where those jobs should we get done from?

Islamabad,

I Met Saqib @Spectra yesterday. He has bought a Fiat Uno Diesel.

Take care

[spectra]

Dr. Rabanni has got a very cool ride indeed, he has upgraded the internals, suspenison, air conditioning and steering. Details he can tell himself better but the car is a firecracker even on CNG. Amazing ride and handling and an AC which can keep your ice cream from melting.

Good work doctor sahab. Drive safe and have fun.

[_faisal_]

@Spectra:
Can you recommend any good workshop in Islamabad, except Twin City for denting/painting, checkup, tune-up etc.

@Dr. Rabbani:
Can you please share with the us the modifications that you have done to your car. I will appreciate if you also tell us the cost of those modification. A break up of cost will be even more helpful.

Thanks in advance to both of you.

I wish both of you a happy car and happy life

[spectra]

you can go to Online Utomobiles in I-10, its right next to FederalMotors. Mr. Ilm ud Din is the person there. He used to work for Hyundai Golra Motors and now has his own workshop.

[_faisal_]

@Spectra thanks again. I will try to visit workshop tomorrow. Its so helpful to get tips from an experienced person like you. I really appreciate your guidance, saves so much time, effort, money and khuwai.

[spectra]

@_Faisal_
Any Feedback on what heppened?

[_faisal_]

I couldn't find Online Utomobile :(. But in search of Liqui Moly I went to Concept Motors. Mr. Khalid told me that they also have ex-Twin City mechanics on their staff.

At this point I am waiting for getting denting/painting done, then I will get my car tuned.

I will be helpful if you could give me any contact no. of the Online or the mechanic you referred.

BTW, I have put Cofran oil in my car, as recommended by Mr. Khalid. it costs Rs 95/litre less than Liqui Moli.

Next time I will try Liqui Moli.

Thanks again.

[spectra]

Lets wait for the deting/Painting job to finish first. Then we can proceed with the tuning and optimisation.
