Just read today morning that all cars in UAE will have below efficiency rating mandatory from 2017. This new move seems very good for educating consumer before buying the vehicle, however I am not understanding the need of creating 5 levels of rating within just 1 L/100 km (1.71 km/liter) difference. All cars that I have ever own falls much below the "Very Poor" rating. http://gulfnews.com/news/uae/transport/cars-in-uae-to-have-fuel-efficiency-rating-next-year-1.1678219 14.2 km/liter (7.04 L/100 km) = Very Good 13.6 km/liter (7.35 L/100 km) = Good 13 km/liter (7.69 L/100 km) = Average 12.5 km/liter (8 L/100 km) = Poor 12.49 km/liter (8.006 L/100 km) = Very Poor

Dealer service is no longer mandatory for warranty
ethan replied to Gaurav's topic in General Discussions
Get ready for class A and B service center increasing their price by 100% and matching just close to the dealer rates. This will be the first reaction of any car business as soon as they get rated and ready for the customers. -

ethan replied to Baraz's topic in Jeep Wrangler Forum in UAE
Have you tried any engine additives, as few time they tend to relax the tappet quiet as much. Worth trying before you open the pandora box. -
Simply because it is too expensive, ugly and under power luxury car impostor that market didn't like it. Period. Secondly it's younger siblings M35, M37 and M37X got really super hit in market which comes at 70% of cost of M45.

3 Major mistakes people make while selling car in Dubai and UAEAs you know that selling is the most difficult task in the world, and it becomes even more challenging when you have to sell used car to a stranger without any trust or positive reputation. So the only thing that can help you sell your car fast with a confidence is to gain the trust of the buyer. Below are the 3 common mistakes that seller makes to prevent gaining the trust and positive reputation while selling car in the UAE. By following below steps, you can actually build a trust and gain positive reputation within ONE MINUTE of your ad-view. Show the car service records One of the most important ways to build a trust is to show the full service records to a buyer without even asking. This will help you gain over 50% of the buyers trust in one single step. Even if you don’t have the full dealer service history, then show the partial record and explain where you have been servicing the car lately. You shouldn’t be lying in this step as smallest lie can fall apart the whole deal at a later stage if buyer suspects any wrong information. I have seen over 50% of the people who sell car don’t even realize that this sharing of service record is of utmost importance. The reason for this importance is that new buyer will be confident in buying after seeing that car has been very well taken care of in the past, and he won’t be spending for your mistakes. You should add at least one picture of the car service record in your online car advertisement to gain that trust immediately. Click good car pictures Majority of online car classifieds I see really lack in this department. People click the blurriest possible pictures, night shots and overcast pictures to hide the fault but they forget that no one is going to buy their car without actually seeing it, so why waste everyone’s time. Do yourself a favor and spend some time in getting the crispiest, highest possible resolution pictures in daylight. Click 50 – 60 pictures and select best 10-15 out of it showing the exterior (all sides), interior, engine bay, trunk etc. for a complete feel of the car that buyer can see within 1 minute of viewing your online advertisement. Off course make sure the car is super clean (washed) from inside and outside and free from your grocery bags or office stuff or personal belongings. By sharing the good pictures, you will be surprise to see how people straight away wanted to see your car as you have already build the trust and confidence within first minute of ad-viewing. Be reasonable and fair No matter how much you love your car, but every car depreciates with time and the mileage and you should know the real value of your car. You can add 5-10% extra for final negotiation, but not over 50% markup and scare the buyer while viewing your ad. Price it right and you will sell it fast, as remember every day your car is anyways going to lose more value so sooner you sell better price you can fetch. If car has some damage or issues, be clear in the car classifieds pictures and in description and let the buyer take the call to still view your car with minor concerns or not. Hiding these will again waste your time and only 1 out 10 people will be actually interested in it. So being honest and clear will help you filter the interested buyers that potentially will accept the car with the little issues along with reasonable discount in the price.

How to fix this one cylinder without opening the engine?
ethan replied to derik's topic in Mitsubishi Pajero Forum in UAE
Have you tried the engine oil additives like Engine Restorer, Gunk Motor Flush or Cerma? If not, may be you can explore that avenue if missing is very mild and no smoke, hesitation or loss of pwer showed up yet. Your engine sound seems like exhaust valve is sticky or noticeably blocked.- 13 replies

SRS light coming after starting in Touareg
ethan replied to lamaar's topic in Volkswagen Touareg Forum in UAE
Hi Lamaar, hope you doing good today. For the SRS light issue in short the answer, there is some airbag issue in your car which is a safety aspect and that's why its showing you the light that in case of serious accident your car airbag might not pop-out. In case of some previous accident the airbag sensor might not have changed as it's expensive fix and that why car ECU still reads as air-bag is having an issue. This is def a bit involved repair than something you can do it yourself. You definitely need an experienced workshop who specialize in VW or such jobs to get this fixed. -

ethan replied to mshekhar's topic in Kia Optima Forum in UAE
Although I am not a big fan of Kia, but I know 2 guys who drive Optima and they swear by its performance and luxury. This 2016 model looks quite better from inside and follow Audi interior design line as well as it does for exterior since 2012 facelift models.- 1 reply

Malls is no longer a good bet during holiday seasons, as they are jam packed and you spend hours for parking and waste time with sub-standard customer service. House party, card games, some DIY car projects with friends is awesome for long local holidays.

Where to find Hyundai Accessories in Dubai
ethan replied to kadar's topic in Hyundai Accent Forum in UAE
Yellow hat also sells some universal accessories. Do check them out as they bring good quality stuff and also offers the onsite installation in the basement car park. -
Hi Derick, welcome abroad and yes buying used car is really an art and not for the weak heart as it always require bit of chance and play of luck to go in favor. I have been blessed all the time, but I know few friends whose deal has turn sour even after rigorous checks and guarantees. Don't buy too old used car and keep within 3-5 years old used bracket and you will be fairly safe. Second rule is aim to get lowest driven car uner 60-100 k kms max, even if you have to pay 5% extra for lower mileage then its worth the deal.

Jeep long-rumored pickup truck: #Gladiator
ethan replied to zafarali's topic in Jeep General Discussion Forum in UAE
This has been planned and spreading rumors every year-end since 2012. I reckon if it's hitting the market anytime soon due to ongoing crisis. Any detailed declaration of the specs will confirm if its coming or not this time......! -
Apparently SZR is worst in traffic, high speed and violation over the last number of years. All major development are focused on SZR and it leaves 1000's of people from middle class to rich class commuter using it everyday with most expensive and most capable cars. No wonder to me.

May be worth checking the battery connection is loose, as if it is loose and when car is started then you wont feel that on anything other than interior lights and music system which uses the battery power. Ask him to run the car with music system on and switch interior light to test if music system also skips a beat or not...?

LaFerrari, Porsche 918 And McLaren P1 Pitted Against Each Other
ethan replied to Khassan's topic in Ferrari Forum in UAE
This post should have the polling option mate. Anyways, my vote is 100% Ferrari, not just by the brand enthusiasm but about their track performance record in the past. Mclaren and Porsche will be the second or third, more chances McLaren will score second and Porsche will be third.......! -
