engine flush liqui moly ly aao ga aaj sham may.ive seen the shop

You need a 17mm socket or 17mm ring spanner to open the drain bolt in addition to the filter wrench.

1. start the car , till the radiator fan kicks in.
2. turn the engine off.
3. Lift the front driving side of the car till the wheel barely touches the ground and fully rotate the steering wheel anti clockwise (Handbrake and stoppers should be engaged)
4. remove the oil cap on the tappet cover.
5. place a bucket underneath the drain bolt in such a way that it can get the initial oil stream.
6. carefully loosen up (dont remove) the drain bolt by extending you arm from behind the front wheel.
7. put on a rubber glove to rotate the loose bolt open by hand, the glove will help you avoid the hot rushing oil once the bolt is removed.
8. remove the oil filter (be careful as hot oil may injure your hand)
9. let the oil drain properly.
10. fix the drain plug back and properly tightened.
11. get the new oil filter and put some new engine oil in it and on its rubber ring.
12. clean the surface before installing the oil filter.
13. tighten it up with hand only.
14. get the car off the jack and in level
15. put 3.5L (max) of new oil in the engine.
16. put the oil cap back and start the engine
17. check for any leaks around oil filter and drain plug.
18. stop the engine.
19. check oil level on dipstick after 5 minutes.
20. level should not exceed the top mark.

wat about engine flush?

[smijaz]

wat about engine flush?

Idea is basically the same, before putting the new oil put the flushing treatment and act as per directions on the flush can, drain it out and put the oil in after wards.

Understood?

Engine flush is added to the old engine oil and drained after 10 minute idling. There is no issue/problem in adding 300-400ml treatment as its just for few minutes..

NOTE
* The above video is an advertisement and I have posted it to show you the procedure only. The before use and after use photos in the video are most probably fake.

• If you have maintained a regular oil change interval and replaced oil/air filter accordingly then there is no need for the engine flush as it will not give you the benefit of its cost.

ok..i opened the thermostat housing n thermostat was properly SITTINg in...n was closed..so i took it out n put it in water n heated the water n it opened n slosed wen took out of water..so thermostat is ok..
then i flushed out all old coolant n put in new one...
so now system is properly flushed n thermostat is placed back in..

question is there r 2 pipes comin from radiator..one from top n one from botton..
now aftr all DIY,i strtd the car...the upper pipe from radiator strtd to get hot like aftr 5 minutes but DOWN pipe was cold...
i wana knw which way water circulates...
i took coolant out from removing the plastic bolt on base of radiator...first there came cold water n then aftr few seconds,hot water strtd to come out...
i didnt get y is it so???

in the first pic,the SEAL is home made..lol
i bought one seal n on way back i was playin with it n it got broken..then i bought one again n it wasnt of proper size..so hell with it,i got air filter cover n cut it off in shape..hehe
put some SHLEG as they call it,on it n its properly closed..no leaks..

wen i strtd the car,the lower of t-stat housing was hot means it was workin...

smijaz bhai i didnt changed the mobil oil..cuz the oil filter i bought is of very small size as compared to wats already there on car..
so shud i go with the one i bought??
its kinda tiny..i guess its of mehran...but shopkeeper said k lag jaey ga...
plus it was very hard to get t-stat out n stuff which made me tired so i postponed it for 2mrw...
n the drain out bolt is very awkwardly placed tht hand dont reaches with ease...so kal he try kro ga..

@Cracked
I am using the same Yokohama tyres for my Suzuki Khyber. I bought them last year at the price of 3500 Rs per tyre. What I have found is that the tyres are soft that is why the grip is reasonable. But the disadvantage is that the soft tyres suffer wear and tear more rapidly. I have driven 20,000 Kms and the grooves have started becoming less deeper. Before I was using Bridgestone B70. I used them for 4 years, the wear and tear were very less.

Yes,
Softer tyres offer better grip but they wear out earlier than hard tyres.

As far as noises are concerned, I am myself fedup with them. Went to a lot of mechanics, they did a lot of things but still the front steering gives kharak kharak sound. Even I was ready to change the steering, but the mechanic stopped me by saying that this steering is good enough, the kabli one will not be better than this.

speedster..thnx for ur comments...
so its with all khybers...tht khar khar...
lol

The same is the case with my car,
The car is completely soundless but this one sound from the steering does not goes away.
Im also fed up with it.
I think it is common in all Khybers.
Those who have seen my car know how I,ve kept it spotless and soundless but still Im unable to figure out the cause behind this sound.

30 psi is good.
Retain 30 psi in all 4 tyres.
28 would be low and might harm the tyre,s sidewalls.

In the upper radiator pipe hot water flows from engine to radiator and passes through the radiator and from bottom pipe it goes back to water pump and in the engine.

To solve this puzzle

1. remove heater pipes and place stopper in their place
2. while the car is in cold state remove the upper pipe of the radiator.
3. water will flow out but will still be enough in the system.
4. start the engine
5. water should not come out from tstat side immediately and should flow only when its at 80C.

ok ill do it ijaz bhai..
i think the radiator fan late kickin in due to temp diffrnce between t-stat n auto fan switch...
i asked price of auto fan switch n its like 600...agr 300 tak hota tou may ly laita..just for an experiment..
ill try gettin a kabli one n then will see if fan kick in on different needle level or not.!

the needle will show the temp of the coolant when it is below the tstat and the fan switch is at the top which is activated when tstat lets water through to the radiator after it reaches a certain temp and the radiator fan starts cooling the water flowing through the radiator.
A beautiful system isnt it?

beautiful system..AGREED
complex system..STRONGLY AGREED..lol
acha ijaz bahi the water flow FROM the thermostat towards the radiator or FROM the radiator towards the thermostat???

AoA

i am facing a problem which i have been unable to diagnose.

The problem is a "Hichki" (some time one and sometime in pair) which occurs under no specific condition like RPM, load, gear etc.
I have done the following DIYs tappet (inlet 0.006'', outlet 0.008'' at cold engine), plug gap 0.80mm, distributor signal generator air gap 0.008", swapped the plug wires and distributor with other ones, adjusted the CNG mixture but nothing, the hitchki can occur at any time and is gone with out any trace.

It feels like the car engine is turned off for a sec and then comes to life again.

I am planning to visit pindi/islamabad at the weekend and am concerned about this issue, as this may get me in to trouble on the motorway.

plz guys help me out here
