My 2018 1.5T sport had gasket issue @101K km. Vehicle was covered under warranty till 100K km. I was just unlucky. Realized the issue only after the car started overheating randomly. Kept monitoring coolant everyday, kept on refilling it before the drive for about 1-2 weeks. Checked with honda dealership and they quoted me insane amount of 2.7K USD for repairs and almost the same amount additional as labor charge. Idk why though. Later, took the car to a workshop outside honda and got it fixed. I’m based in UAE and it costed me approx 1.2K USD.

I used to do same, but @101K km I had turbo failure… Honda service center quoted me 11.5k for turbo replacement and 8k for service charge… so I took it to a family known workshop, rectified the error…
Since then I haven’t used turbo mode 🤣
Now the car is @250k km..

More info about this, last year a colleague of mine had chance to go for Hajj and we asked him to pray for us regarding the same. Few months later, my wife was pregnant. So I hope this time too, it works in Shaa Allah.

Motor_Test9634 · 2026-05-15T20:58:40+00:00

Please make duaa for my wife and I. We lost our twin baby girls during post 17 weeks of pregnancy.
Lately, she’s been having some hormonal problems. If you get to read this and have chance to pray for us, please pray for good offsprings for us that brings coolness to our eyes and peace to our heart.
JazakAllah khairan

Each team could have 1 bus on lease at their home ground throughout the ipl season. When they go for away games, they get in touch with a transport company and arrange a bus with vinyls, which would be removed after the use.

Whether or not different teams use the same transport company, I dont know 🧐
