  1. You can start with swapping the cruise control relay with any other relay and see. As many times these minor issues caused by improper electrical voltage and if it gets fixed you can buy new relay. Also check the fuses as well. If not you, i am sorry my friend you have to see qualified electrican. Good luck.
  2. Wrong forum to ask and wrong league to compare. I think its for laugh. right.
  3. tire pressure depends on the weight of the car to the car. 35 psi is in general. best to ask the tire company.
  4. hear is a video i found in the youtube. http://youtu.be/tVWznOl-WZw
  5. An ignition coil is an induction coil which transforms the battery's low voltage to the thousands of volts which is required to create an electric spark in the spark plugs to ignite the fuel. there energy is produced to rotate the engine to start the car. All the cars work on this mechanism
  6. dont over use the tires maximum i would say maybe 2 to 4 years and make sure you use good quality tires. rest you can use the above suggestions.
  7. Car engine burns oil when piston ring is leaking engine oil in combustion chamber and getting burnt with fuel. For fixing this you need to open whole engine and thats really a big job of 2-3 days at least.
  8. Gear oil supposed to be change every 40k - 50k. If you don't have track of KMS then its better to get it change and also change the gear oil filter. About aftermarket headlight you can buy from Deira naif market or in shj near american university there is big market for car tires and accessories.
  9. Your car need all wheels proper wheel balancing, while at it get the alignment done too.
  10. Check if engine oil hasnt turn milky due to internal leak of head gasket and coolant is getting mixed with engine oil. If so, its a bad bad news get the engine head gasket changed and its a big and expensive job.
  11. Looks like AC gas has leaked out and now you are smelling compressor oil. Get the leak test and then gas top up.
  12. after 100k its advisable.
  13. The ignition system in a Cadillac Catera is a little different than in many other engines. Instead of using a distributor, the 4.6i engine uses a coil pack to control the spark to the spark plugs. This pack is mounted on the rear side of the engine. Although it is difficult to access, it can be unbolted from the engine. You can then unbolt and replace each individual coil pack with ease. 1 Pop the hood. Unplug the wiring harnesses from the sides of the coil pack located at the rear of the engine. Unbolt the coil pack assembly from the engine, using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. 2 Pull the coil pack away from the engine and pull it toward you. Locate the ignition coil that you want to replace. Unplug the spark plug wire from each end of the coil pack, using your hands in a twisting motion. 3 Unbolt the coil pack from the coil pack assembly using the 1/4-inch ratchet and socket. Set the replacement coil pack onto the coil pack assembly and bolt it in place using the same ratchet. 4 Reinstall the spark plug wires on the coil pack assembly by pushing them in place until they make a popping noise. Reinstall the coil pack assembly onto the engine using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket.
  14. change both its better to have equal strength while braking. Ask mechanic a reason for uneven wear, and let him check the piston and brake caliper pressure shud be same on both sides for equal wear of brake pad in future. Its a safety issue after all.
  15. Yellow hat has good one and do the professional fitting too. Dont buy from deira opp hyatt as you might have issues with cops if its blinding incoming traffic.
  16. Black hose going from radiator to engine have thermostat in between just before engine jacket. Just open and replace its an easy 10 min job. Dont forget to put the seal or sealant where thermostat sits.
  17. If doing highway majorly keep it at 35 all tire and you will get better mileage. In city not advisable as then you will feel every bump as tire softness will go a bit.
  18. leveling shud go off in two minutes if compressor is running. If its still there and u cant hear / feel compressor running. check the compressor or its lines first.
  19. crank sensor looks faulty, get obd check done for the cause and also in some cases if CKPS is faulty intermittently its not shown in computer.
  20. You must first remove the cover above the grill. Once done you need to remove the metal bars that connect the grill. That will give you access to the area where the bulb assembly is at. Twist to remove the assembly and change the bulb.
  21. First things first, check transmission fluid level and condition when car is hot. Al shud be fine and ok. if not fix that first and see if still same problem. when u shift in reverse, if the engine rpm increases and the car does not move. You probably have an internal transmission problem. OR else there could be something wrong with your rear end which is not connecting rear.
  22. Keep two wheels (left) on tarmac and two wheels (right) on grass or unpaved road and give full gas, see if spins grass/unpaved wheels . If ts spining then TC is gone and get it checked, if it doesnt it means fine. Secondly also notice and TC light flash on dash or not?
  23. Clockwise opening Anti clockwise to tight.
