  1. your so called bmws and range rovers are equipped with many modules even for tiny useless things too but 80% of japanese cars usually share the ecu and tcm in one module so may be you also gonna wipe out ckp learned patterns and or isv learned values along with the shift patterns so the car will act really different or might stall until those values set in battery terminal removal might be ok for pajero but for some late models its gonna be a visit to the dealer or with access to oem scanners unless you complete the battery removal procedure and then attempt to remove the battery just change your driving habit and give it some time it will adapt to your new aggressive style you are not gonna be racing on the streets or cutting corners at high speed here but if you plan on that then this issue is really small there are many other things which you can do to gain real power....
  2. no need to reset as in some cars many other things get messed up...just keep a heavy foot and race attitude and voila in few days it'll turn from a donkey to a horse....☺️
  3. bmws and mercedes rovers audis vws porsches are for cold climate they have a bad time adjusting here they are good only for 4 or 5 years after that all hell breaks loose i had one guy he imported his merc s600 and when i told him that he needed to remove the gear to fix the converter leak he was like this is a new car it has warranty and i told him the warranty is in germany not here and you have to fix it yourself ghargash won't do it for free as they have not sold it to you...and later on the auto close feature of the rear and driver door broke that also he fixed here its actuator is really delicate it just breaks if door is handled harsh as of late the issues of leaks oil, air or even coolant usually pops out in mostly newer cars in places which is usually unheard of in older cars
  4. yes diffs have seen then go in jiffy literally just outside the shop at about 100 meters the cars just big boom and then lots of sound and oil dripping it was a cherokee with a supra engine....the owner just came out and was scratching his head....
  5. the parts are rare and very expensive and when you buy a new it has nothing in it just a wooden bench in the driver side no dashboard nothing in the interior and its a rough minimum 3 to 5k in fixing those things only a driver door costs 1500 at scrap so who gonna need those heap of junk which i agree has lot of torque but almost no speed....
  6. for luxus we usually to guys opposite rotana and sometimes behind yasmin building there are many shops dealing with stereo system they charge and put in the maps in hdd or cds then run them for you try there you might get somewhere
  7. i have made a habit of not touching them altogether as one of our teachers said leave them as they are and you keep yourself vigilant because some customers don't mind but some would get pissed about it... and my desert cart has a missing center mirror but its useful the high beams at night are avoided....
  8. they are biased so i stopped watching altogether....
  9. there is a manual way to get the idle learning but you have to get your hands on the FSM but that is usually a hit and miss if somehow you can get a scanner then you can do it easily just by pressing some buttons on scanner....
  10. Tr @treks my father has been working in this field since he didn't had mustache on his face and now he's bald and gray whenever I get stuck I ask him for help and believe me I have been stunned they way he leads things but things weren't like this in his working time....and yet he gets things done when asked....so it's a matter of understand and not missing the details...

    Leaving UAE

    have fun bhai just keep blankets and coats handy it heard its could out there so cold that even a brass monkey have their balls frozen....
  12. when a customer comes to me with any car i first of all try to understand the concern and then if i can do it then take the car in and believe me i have had a hell of a time sometimes diagnosing the fault i also have some contacts with whom i also discuss the problems and all in all its a very small car no fix return rate.... if you understand the mechanism and have the diagrams of wiring then there should be no problem to solve it and usually we get stuck at the programing side or the codings in vag cars thats almost always outsourced that way i don't have to funk up funny dollars in subscription fees for only a specific car that comes in say 4 or 5 times a year... i have had single cylinder bikes to rolls royce at my shop... in short i agree with @Barry on this one....
  13. @baselsm83 oh ho where have you been long time no photo no sound...?
  14. don't worry if you have carnity member and they really have patience. you will learn almost everything just give it some time and practice...
  15. maybe he did not put in to account that how much would be 5000 aed in his home currency
  16. it the information was public then we wouldn't had to scour the internet for tit bits of information here and there the manufactures themself would had done that its how things run here you cant change that no matter how hard you try and do i smell communists that i have to register and then only run a group or take dump...?
  17. they are not equipped with the right machinery till now and they have jumped to making money already without it...these self service pumps should have a safety mechanism in it so when the nozzle in actually in the tank then only to pump.. those place which provide such services in other countries have many such systems in place you know right now its all giggles and shits until someone actually shits then giggles... i faced this incident recently that someone before me had set the nozzle in full speed mode and placed it back so when my turn came i payed the attendant and as soon as i picked the nozzle out of the despenser before i turned to put it in it was just shooting fuel at full speed....
  18. had a guy come in with complain of sound and soft paddle while breaking he actually had lost a pad he should have heard the sounds way earlier but when the paddle became soft he thought to go to a workshop i changed the caliper as it had the piston out and bit eaten off the side (had one come in with a piston broken in half don't remember which car but it was american fiber piston pretty creepy)
  19. there are some by birth automotive technicians and some learned ones here and there some average joes who will not mind to do some light work themself on their cars or others then there are some special people who should stay away from the bonnets or let someone else look at it. As these machineries and cars run in a pretty complex sync. it is a dangerous occupation for those who don't understand it. just one wrong judgement can get you burned 'amputated or worse killed too if you are not paying close attention let alone damage to the car or property and putting others life in danger one such light humored incident comes to my mind when a customer bought a car on wiench to my shop who after changing the battery couldn't start the car upon closer inspection i found that the insulation on top of the battery was not removed but the terminals were pushed on top of it if the spareparts guy had made the mistake of giving him a reversed terminal battery and if the customer had somehow fixed that battery on the car then i guess i might had to do more then removing the insulation to start the car
  20. whats up with it may be guys here might shed some light...
  21. if you can pull the strings then some of those cars will be sold to you before heading for auctions.....
