i bought 2008 model mehran a month and half ago. it has proven to be in very good condition and didnt bother me at all till 2 days ago when it just shut down in the middle of the road in severe traffic and the sulf didnt work at all. the battery was completely drained. NOTE that i had the AC on which works very well by the way. i thought maybe the AC drained the battery. some people helped me start the car with a push and i got to my destination.
on the way back i had to get help of some people again and the car started fine but 15 minutes into the drive the engine temperature meter hit max. now the battery is completely dead and im not sure what caused the temprature spike. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Do i need to replace the car battery?
Would i be able to use my AC again? summers are comming up

Your car alternator is not working, check it and if find faulty replace it. get your battery also checked after the alternator. if both seems fine then check the auto fan on the radiator.,

I had the same problem. It was my battery issue. I did my battery life test and replaced with new one. All good now.

Heating and battery drain sounds like a short circuiting. First get the alternator/generator/fan belt checked. if is fine then check fuse box and electrical wiring.

Also check if the ground means earth wire is in good connecton with car's body.

Below mentioned things need to be checked;
Battery Charger (AKA) Denmo.
Loose connection of Battery terminals.

For overheating.
Check radiator (water leakage, blockage, hose pipe)
Check radiator fan. (Auto start, speed)
Thermostate Valve (maybe blocked) and if you couldn't replace it JUGAAR option is just remove it. Your car will work fine. Just you need to wait after starting to get it warm.
Waterbody (maybe blocked or rusty)

Cost of all above mentioned works shouldn't more than 2500. EXCLUDING SPARE PARTS
