With a professional engineering you can reach even better efficiency than factory: Air filters, Spark plugs, tires type and size, battery type and size, coolant and mechanical condition. I managed to drive a 2008 Ford focus 1.6 L 6.6L per 100 Km and 2011 VW Golf 1.4TSI 5.8L per 100 Km A fine tuning and good driving habits make a huge fuel saving.

I'm not sure about this model dealer availability or parts but I think it's hard to tell as it was never launched in UAE so I guess it's US or Canada imported! and you still need to name your car price and list it online as classified car Ads.

and with windows closed and AC off and mostly below 20 C climate and with winter tires (higher wall size offering longer distance per tire rotation and slime road touching surface offering lower fraction to the road surface and less power needed for speed and finally a lab certified fuel grade which is not available as fuel quality varies due to countries laws and availability and varies due to climate.

In Canada the say FORD for Fix Or Repair Daily LOL

I do agree with @gautam however we can make a try to check the ATF condition first if it looks fine we can replace transmission filter and top-up oil level and run it on D on the workshop lift for 15 min. then make a test drive and see the issue is GM design depends much on oil pressure if we lose the pressure for bad torque converter or bad filter or low level oil we start to get indications if recover early we may avoid extra costs of replacing valve body and internal parts.

Hi William did you check Audi website and you need a clarification about it? as Audi used to provide a high quality sound system the offer a higher grades on S-Line models including sync to mobile ohones and voice command and AUX and Audi Nav system and instrumentation on main screen for drive system and tire pressure and air conditioning system and view cams and park sensors all around. please let us know what you need to know about.

check the coolant age as it\f it's more than 3 or 4 years you need to replace it Check the coolant pump pressure as the coolant is not circulating efficiently it would over heat faster than usual check coolant thermostat (the therm-mechanical) as if it's not opening on specified temperature or opening partially it would over heat and finally (worst case scenario) use a towel to squeeze water hose during over heat if it's sold and not flexible to be closed by hand pressure so you have a gas leak from cylinders heads to cooling jacket that would require replacing heads gaskets and some time surfacing the heads.

We can't ignore Diesel prices Vs Petrol or mileage efficiency!! Check Isuzu D-MAX and MU-X which is simply a 2.5 L 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine a re-marked Chevrolet Blazer and Savanna Pick up truck which torque you think that you can get from this engine if you learn that it produce 136 HP only at 3,300 rpm? I think you can pull a plain if you have the good gears! also you can check Sang young Actyon pick up with Mercedes engine and transmission used earlier in 3 door G class (and still option to register it as a private car as dealer promised due to closed loading compartment) but still cheap and ugly option! and the new ford ranger v6 engine (limited with automatic transmission) and VW Amarok still outside the competition as 4 cylinder manual transmission with AWD option but Nissan Navara V6 can be registered as a private car.

New discovery or Evoque a Volvo V40 or Ford Escape and finally a Mazda CX5 they are all the same and sharing the same engine with Ford Focus RS and Volvo C30

as coolant grades coded by colors (green,blue & red) the content and percentage of glycogen and minerals varies and used coolant contain lead and aluminum and other low percentage of heavy minerals in addition to engine oil traces which considered toxic to human, animals and plants so as per environmental standards and shall not be drained or spilled on soil. so the process is very complicated comparing to sewerage water treatment however it's expected to be standard in Dubai , Abu Dhabi and Sharjah shortly as Dubai started early 2016 to enforce environmental protecting rules as collecting used lubricants and lubricants polluted fabrics and tissues and panning of using wood mushes on cleaning process at car workshops. @barry can tell you more about extra costs for these polices.

and some spices with herbs and some green vegetables and we have a healthy green salad and next step to trade our oil burners with green hybrid cars LOL...... Good Luck with the green life...........Don't count on me I'm out burning oil and spiting fire!! a piston head to the grave!!

hi @chutz the tire sound basically from trade so go for tiny tread like Yokohama dB or similar soft tread.

As @Barry said ABS and non ABS but it will work fine even smoother and softer than the original as it would contain a larger mass of engine pressure Just be sure to check EGR valve fitted on the air pressure hose from engine it may give the same shortage in performance while the servo is OK!

ford-volvo had a torque control system called "Torque Vectoring System" which adjust and justify wheels spinning around corners and drift mode just turn it off like ASC for BMW and ESP for VW-Audi and ABC for Mercedes and VSC for Toyota-Lexus-Nissan-Infinity the problem remains with ford focus RS as a front wheel drive so with OEM car it can perform some tricks on corners with skilled driver but with drifting hand breaks (a hand break stick moving forward and backward to break one wheel only from the rear wheels) it can offer more with skilled driver.

Hi @robert give us the update which car speaking for you now?

good luck with the Nissan please note that all are the same except the drive mode "off road" trim includes diff lock and some times VSC (vehicle stability control an advanced ABS) while other trims don't have it out side shape looks the same just look inside for the drive mode switch other than this all mechanically are the same some cars have extra options like steering control switches audio and cruise control, fog lights, wheel size and rear view cam.

The only lubricant which comes in contact with crank shaft is oil either by touching (dipping) in early old engines or by oil drips from engine head as it was the only way to spray oil below pistons (lower part from combustion chamber) before using sprinklers (with check valves and pressure control valves) even dry sump have a metal cover below crank shaft with leveled drain holes to keep a minimal level to lubricate crank. when you mix vegetarian oil with air you can have a mayonnaise (and you still need to add an egg to the mix) but mineral oil and synthetic would not make that foam unless it have water, sugar or egg!!

it's a re-marked ford sierra!!

the shining that you like can be reached by waxing which create a layer of soft surface of wax over the polish layer. for my car I wax it yearly including headlights and taillights and windshields as if make surfaces soft so it doesn't become dirty fast and the rain drops slips fast over the body and windshields.

check scrap yards in Sharjah and if you couldn't find the same try newer models of 1.6 lancer (2011, 2012 & 2013) as it include manual shift mode like rally art covers and trims may fit!

You can order it online from Ali express (china aftermarket products) and you will like the rear trunk spoiler and rear bumper diffuse also just be sure to select ABS material (polypropylene) Not the fiberglass. http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20160827094841&SearchText=bmw+e92 https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb=y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=bmw+E92&isPremium=y

Sorry @Danny We can't switch of the lighthouse till the boats pay the tax and we can't force them to pay (unless you can do that?) and sailing in the middle of the boats angry and screaming on their faces would not convince them to pay tax or protect them from getting lost or drifting! if you have a better idea I think @Gauravwould love to hear it.

Hi @Barry for the transmission I think you may need to have a look over the transfer case (if the transmission suffered that much) but what I need to ask you about that I can see the Profi-Car engine oil banner in the images so would you please evaluate it for us (Frankly would you use it in your own beloved car?)
