Drive under 2.5k rpm, set cruise on highway, plan brake ahead. THE GREEN RULE.

Its usually at 100k kms, if im not wrong.

Any sign of its failing yet?????

Neither. You need to take it to tire shop for proper wheel alignment. 100 aed - 150 aed.

hello people

i have a 2006 kia Sportage which is doing good.

i need to knw how often the timing belt should be changed.

i have done 70,000 km on this car

thanks for the advice in advance

what can i do to optimize the fuel efficiency of 2007 Optima as i dive everyday to and fro Abu Dhabi.

thank u

i have been having a wobbling in my car which i researched it to a wheel alignment issue and the same was confirmed by a friend of mine who has a bit of knowledge abt cars. what i want to know is if i can do it my self wid the help of my friend or do i have to take to the dealers to solve the issue. thanx

Go for stock rims, they are BEST. After market will def get problem if its cheaper one from shj. Better get stock ones new for long life, if find it expensive then buy from scrap or used thru dubizzle.

i need to get the Tyre rims changed how do i know if they are of good quality do i have options on metal as well. i am not looking for anything fancy just durable

thanks for the advice in advance

regards

If you are a good mechanic do it or else look for some professional.

The timing belt drives the water pump.

Set the engine on top dead center.

Align the timing marks, use white marker to mark their position Remove the fan belt and then fan.

Remove the top radiator hose.

Remove the thermostat housing assembly.

Remove the fan belt bracket.

Remove the timing cover.

Remove the two camshaft pulleys.

Remove the back plate of the timing cover.

You can now get to the water pump.

i have a leaking water pump. can anybody tell me how to change it

thanks

u knw the answer and its good guess work.

First fuel filter and then pump.

CHeck all the fuses and relay and then jump to speedometer testing.

How old car is and how many kms u driven, may be we cud guess better.

Get the brake pads and brake drum just visually checked by decent mechanic and then hand brake wire isnt over tight by some over ambitious mechanic. If all is fine, diagnose the brake pistons it might be working hard but its unlikely.

Get brake adjusted from same mechanic (play in the pedal) who have changed the brake pads.

If he cant, then it may be the brake piston is dying and not holding enuf pressure.

i have got by breaks changed a week back and now they have soften up wat do i do

Check if the heater has been unplugged by previous owner or the heater switch is working fine. As car heater uses the engine heat thru radiator and heat up the cabin, no much A/C or A/C compressor job. check the switch its gone bad and not switching to hot mode.

About hissing noise, identify the side its coming and then remove the door inside beading and refix it nicely. If needed fix beading with little bit of silicone inside and it will seal that air leak, easy.

i am having a very strange issue wid my car.

1st when i switch on the heater, there is no heat only cool air so i fill up the gas and the same issue

2nd and last even when my car doors r closed there is a hissing noise coming from the door. can i fix this

your early reply is thankfull

if no problem, no light on dash then dont worry these days all new cars are loaded with electricry that keeps clicking and checking things for fun. So take it easy.

btw how much fuel mileage you are getting in city with SOUL, considering buy new one soon.

Check engine light comes for a reason, you need to concern qualified mechanic with full computer tools to plug and diagnose the problem and fix it. Go to dealer its better.

get to shj BMW road and you will have many dealer selling original parts at 60% discounted rates.

today my car turned 1 month old and i already have a problem

what happed was that while driving on shk zayeed road on 80kmph i hear three clicks from underneath the car. Usually happens after a couple seconds of the car being off. it sounded like some sort of an actuator. Any ideas fellow soul owners

Best way to start is to find the current engine SPECIFIC dimensions and see what housing goes in which direction (like gear, radiator, axle etc) and then match online for same with given criteria.

As per sourcing used good condition engine, shj have loads of scrap you can get one for 2000 - 5000 aed. And installation within 1000 aed.

Good luck.
