Your 6 years old car done 107K is nothing unsual. People clock 100+ in 3 years car so dont feel bad.

About garage, i personally been to dynatrade and they were good. Google their aweer number or i guess here in this forum also some listed garages are there that people must have used.

Always go for due diligence as in one attempt you wont find perfect garage. Its normal.

Hi Suryamshu, congrats for your first car. And as far as car running great and looks good be happy. For revealing the bad part now, based on tasjeel finding. When car is overheated single or multiple timing then engine head has a gasket that gets bad (shrink) and mix the coolant and oil inside engine. Engine can actually die slow death coz of this mixing and loose tremendous power. What i assume that previous owner must have had cracked radiator coz of which car overheated and that's why he changed the radiator and fixed the head gasket by opening engine head (which is not a normal job and it is quite expensive). I also assume here, that being expensive job he must have gotten it done in sub standard garage to save money and hence sold the car. If it would have been done at good garage or dealership its almost impossible to make out if engine head is opened or not.

Another assumption, is engine head also get opened for changing the timing belt and your previous owner must have changed that at 80k kms, if i am not wrong. Call Habtoor and check at how many km you need to change the timing belt, if its 80k then may be this assumption is quiet right. If they say at 100k or after 100k then previous (bad) assumption must be right.

Also open the hood of your car and see right under the bonnet the mesh or cardboard that sits right under bonnet metal is disfigured, loose and look worn out or burnt (majorly)???? Then car has been severely overheated and my first assumption is quite right.

Don't feel bad, as its your first car and everyone have their sour story for the first time. What you can do now, is to get it car checked at good garage like dynatrade, technical resources and let them diagnose it for 200 AED that how good or bad head gasket job is done. And how is the current overall condition of your car and if it need some further attention. More than likely you will be changing the timing belt in coming few thousand kms, so at that time you can get that job done at good garage for approx 3000 AED or at dealership for 5000 AED and enjoy the car with peace of mind.

Have fun and drive safe.

I guess it depends when someone take the lead and post the drive......!

[email protected]: dont you think asking this new question in separate thread is a good idea.

Please post what type of sound: rattling, humming, vibration, clank etc you get when car is cold?

I would love to join too.

Try Ramy trading in Deira or Yellow hat shops in shopping malls.

No body in outside garage gives warranty other than agency, but usually everywhere they use original parts so nothing goes wrong. So if you like warranty pay 50% extra with agency.

Dynatrade: 3000 dhs, Divya spare parts workshop in shj: 2500 dhs, Habtoor: 5000 dhs. APPROX.

Its better if you change all 4, as you can change one and then next month other one and so on. Usually when one shock fails its an indication to change all for better usability of all 4 new ones.

Try calling spare parts guys in Dubai and sharjah and check if they can arrange delivery in AD by paying some courieir charges. All i know that in Abu Dhabi you can try in Mussafah area to see if you have spare parts dealer like here.

Dynatrade: 3000 dhs, Divya spare parts workshop in shj: 2500 dhs, Habtoor: 5000 dhs. APPROX.

they work on most cars that i have heard. excellent customer service too.

starter can be , alternator can be , fuel system can be check all of them

very interesting

if you go to dragon mart you can find a voltmeter very easily.

the cam shaft is located on the top of the cylinder head that is where its usually found and if you have never had experienced how to handle the car engine it may be difficult to find it.

Check the brake pads and top up brake oil if its low.

Its under the steering.

Need a full tune up to check and calibrate the idle. before that check the spark plugs and leads arent faulty.

check the alternator, it must be dead.

Look for some loose wire or socket under driver seat and restart the car. If still lit then get it diagnose thru computer and read the fault code to know what exactly is wrong and then clear the trouble code.

Get the steam wash done nicely and get the rust proofing spray applied generously on underbody. It wont remove the existing rust but it will sure stop the growth of what it has started.

At 90k to 100k km.

Thanks David, it really worked. true genius and creative.

My wife almost got schock when i asked her nail enamel remover.

i have recently seen spray paint (Little tiny drops) on my car which is white and so is the paint it is only when u feel the car u can come to know i guess it was because of my parking below an under construction building

anyhow, i need a suggestion on how can u remove this paint as i am not sure what are its properties if not i think i need to repaint the entire car

it is a 2009 car and i dont want it leave it as it is and spoil the car
