My Escalade's engine is ticking and I'm worried it's serious
I'm really hoping someone here can give me some advice because I'm starting to lose sleep over this. My 2017 Cadillac Escalade with the 6.2L V8 has developed this ticking noise that seems to be getting louder, especially when the engine is cold and first started in the morning. It sort of sounds ...

Rough idle and hesitation – injectors or something else?
I've got a 2015 Wrangler JK with about 120,000 km on the clock and lately it's been idling rough when I'm stopped at lights, almost like a small misfire, but no check engine light has come on yet. Also feels a bit sluggish when I first press the gas from a standstill, especially in this heat. I've ...

Oil spots on the driveway again – thinking of finally fixing it right
I’ve got a 2016 X3 that’s been leaving little puddles everywhere for months now, and my regular guy said it’s probably the valve cover gasket or maybe the oil pan, but he’s too busy to dig deeper until next month. I’m tired of topping up oil every week and smelling that burnt residue after long ...

Starting a small chemical blending operation in Sohar, any local tank suppliers?
Just signed a lease on a small warehouse in the Sohar industrial area and I'm piecing together my setup for blending industrial degreasers and detergents. I've been trying to find IBC Tanks in Sohar that are UN approved for holding concentrated raw materials like surfactants and acids before ...

Looking at a used Jeep Wrangler in Ras Al Khor – should I get it inspected first?
I've been searching for a clean 2018 Wrangler for weeks and finally found one that looks decent cosmetically, but something feels off – the seller is really pushy and the service history is incomplete. I've heard horror stories about flooded Jeeps or ones with hidden frame damage, so I'm thinking I ...

My BMW 535i transmission finally stopped slamming into gear – here's where
I've been fighting a rough shifting issue on my 2014 535i for months – the ZF 8-speed would slam into 3rd gear especially when the car was cold, and no amount of resets or fluid changes at random garages helped. A buddy who works on BMWs told me to stop wasting time and just go to a proper ...

Jaguar XJ AC started blowing warm – any decent place in Sharjah?
I'm absolutely melting over here – my 2016 Jaguar XJ's AC decided to give up yesterday while I was driving back from Ajman. It was blowing ice cold one minute, then slowly turned into warm air by the time I hit the Industrial Area. I'm pretty sure it's not just a regas because the compressor is ...

Dealership quoted me 2800 for pads – is that normal or am I being robbed?
I nearly fell off my chair when the service advisor at the dealership told me 2800 AED for front and rear pad replacement on my 2019 Mercedes C300. I get that it's a German car but come on, it's just pads and sensors, not a whole engine rebuild. A friend suggested I check out some independent ...

My 508's weird electrical fault has three garages stumped, does anyone know a Peugeot specialist in Dubai?
I've been going in circles with my 2016 508 GT for nearly two months, it started with the central locking pulsing randomly and the folding mirrors refusing to unfold on hot mornings, after a week the stop start system threw a permanent fault and now the dashboard beeps at me every time I put it in ...

Did I destroy my CTS-V's shocks on those Mirdif construction roads?
Been daily driving my 2017 CTS-V for a while now and it coped fine with most road surfaces until the endless construction rerouting started around Mirdif, and now every time I go over the temporary metal plates and patched sections the rear end feels like it skips sideways for a millisecond, almost ...
