WOW one more drive to Abu Dhabi desert.. Sweihan it is on the border of three cities: Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Al Ain. With its big sand dunes and soft sands, it is a great place for masters in dune bashing to try their skills. A super spot for dune bashing in this area is NAQRAH also know as “Little Liwa” located deep in the Sweihan desert. Winter is approaching and exploring to real LIWA is somewhere around the corner and Naqrah is a great spot to go before we attempt to go to Liwa.

Thanks @Sidshk for the follow-up. I have lodged a complaint with Sharjah Consumer protection department and will wait for 7 days to hear from them. I will update the outcome here. And after that, I will take second (Habtoor) and third (Mitsubishi) step accordingly.

While discussing car color today, just now friend said that black color take a lot of extra fuel to keep car cool in in UAE compare to same model in white colr. Is it true guys?

There was a study about this a few years ago and a black car can use up to 2% more petrol than a white or silver car. So yes, in theory it will use a bit more fuel but realistically, not an amount that you're going to notice. Lighter colored cars do make sense in the UAE because white, silver etc reflect heat whereas dark colors retain it.

Even if you dont puruse this case, here is the website for consumer protection. http://www.sedd.ae/ConsumersWT/index_en.jsp

Desertdude, thanks for your ideas to check the fan clutch but they are just identifying ONLY first function when it's not working. I have checked the resistance of the new fan clutch and it was holding little pressure as it supposed to be. However, problem is that when the car overheated and it failed to engage fully to spin at faster RPM. Hence it failed in the second most important function of engine fan clutch. There was no naming and shaming yet, and I just shared my real experience with all documented details and evidence to seek advice from other car owners in UAE. I guess that's the main purpose of Carnity to help each other with their car knowledge and experiences. Moreover, up until yesterday as per Saleem's CONSECUTIVE advice I didn't stand any chance and now in less than 14 hours, I have got multiple ways to report and seek fair justice to my consumer rights after paying 900 AED and getting treated like a monkey from a salesman who was teaching Saleem and myself on how to identify the problem. Simply to brush away the non-working part complaint with 100 other ideas to divert attention. All thanks to Carnity members and friends who understand the real meaning of car community in the UAE.
