    if you are using premixed 50/50 coolant then you dnt need to mix it with anything but if you are using a concentrate the you have to mix it with equal part of water...usually i used the 50/50 premix coz i dnt have the time to mess with the mixing in the workshop just put it in and you are ready to go it costs 50 here ajman from the genuine parts dealer

    is the check engine light lighted up...? any unusall noise from the engine compartment...? because cruise control turns off when the car is switched off and then back on so it cant be cruise..many times i have seen that peoples cars engine light is also disabled so when selling the car they would get good money for it if you have bought the car used the you should get it checked by a diagnostic machine i m sure you will find something out....

    older luxus are not so complicated i agree but the newer models are very advanced if they dnt have the diagnostic equipment and are not equipped with the workshop manuals i would advise you to visit someone who does...as we have had people come from other garages to us because first there was one problem then by going to a garage for a fix there comes another problem...meet the technician before you hand them your car...

    timing chains do not need any replacement but there are conditions to this statement only if you observe very precise and regular oil changes with good quality oils or manual recommended oil quality if not then chains also get cracked and then break at some point (i have seen broken chains at my workshop)

    why dnt you get it checked by a diagnostic machine and then change the one which actually has the issue as oxy sensors are expensive i wouldn't recommend anyone changing all at once and usually it goes bad becos of worn spark plugs as unburnt fuel is poison for the oxy sensors and the cat as well.... and the cat is really expensive i bought it for es 2007 for 3.4k aed

    all uz engine starters are located under the intake manifold it requires a mechanic with sound skills to complete the job in around 4 to 12 hours according to the model...

    if the engine revolves but does not fire up then you have worn spark plugs or a weak coils but if the starter is just making a sound as tuk then nothing or makes a sound like a free moter revolving like veeeeee the you have a starter problem....

    repainting is not so expensive if the car you have is a keeper...it costs 2500 aed to 3k to paint the car but if add keep adding suger then its really gonna be sweet...

    first and foremost the check engine light only comes if there is a electrical or electronic problem in a car from air filter up to the exhaust there are many sensors which if not responding correctly the engine computer illuminates the engine light and now lets come to the timing belt topic it has a running life from 80k to 100k if you are not sure get it checked at a qualified workshop they can give you a fair estimate of what is the condition of it...
