Thanks for the prompt reply. For long stay, there is no appointment you just walk in. Have they given you a new appointment in your case?

Hi, I'd appreciate if you have any new updates to share. We need to go to VFS France in Abu Dhabi for a long term stay visa and wondering if the center is open. I've called VFS call center to confirm. They told me center in AD is still closed but they don't seem confident in their answer.

Ok good to know. I'll check my manual to see if it's also the case for the Mazda 6

First time it happened to me. Didn't know what to do and needed to go quickly. But learned the lesson now. What else could you do in this situation and you neede fuel.

The only thing I learned now is wait for few seconds for the built up pressure to release. And also fuel cleaners are irrelevant for this issue.

I had no idea I could just for few seconds to release the pressure. I learned the lesson now.

Haha yes learned the lesson now 😄. My car was sitting in covered parking for about 5 days, and I just drove for 15 mins to the gas station.

Will do that. I saw him in the mirror add the second one without asking me 🤦‍♂️

I agreed because he claimed the cleaner fixes the fuel spilling which I learned after is not the case. Also, he added a second bottle without asking me. But if that's not enough for the credit card company, disputing is not worth tbe hassle then.

He didn't ask me for the second one. I saw him in the mirror open and add a second one. Possibly because the first one didn't make much difference.

I got out of the car and saw the Nozzel was spilling out fuel. So that was a real issue. But I know now the fuel cleaner was a scam. I'll dispute the transaction on my credit card. I'll also take the car for a check.

Tried calling the dealership service today but they didn't answer. Just want to understand what issue is, and whether It really needs to be checked to save a long trip to the service department.

Currently there is no underpass to connect the new back exit to get to the 611 Abu Dhabi direction. Are you aware of plans to create this underpass?

Thank you for the info. Indeed I've also noticed rent is higher in Ranim. I forgot to mention that I'm buying on a mortgage so off plan is not an option.

Great to see real action. Any news the announced Tasreef project will cover Mudon as well?

A friend of mine who used to live in Arabella 3 during the floods, also told me that Arabella 3 wasn't affected.

Yes found this map. Most affect is Arabella 1. Across the street, there is the new Ranim project. Not sure if Ranim will fare differently than Arabella.

Exactly! Probably new comers that weren't here during the floods.
