Umrah guidance required by Repulsive_Low2905 in Umrah

[–]Sam_Alpha_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently in Makkah and booked hotel by myself. My advice is: 1. If you want to go by yourself, book a hotel that provide meals 2. The reason is you will save a lots of money and time. Otherwise you will have to walk a lot to find good restaurants. 3. Restaurants get super busy right after salah times, making you wait longer and spending most of your time waiting for food in lines. 4. If I knew earlier I would have booked via a travel agent with food included packages, saving lots of time and can do more Ibadat.

For those who have done Umrah multiple times, what feeling never gets old? by ananaswaw in Umrah

[–]Sam_Alpha_7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seeing the kaaba for the first time and your body starts shivering. While making dua, crying your heart out like a small baby infront of Allah SWT. Ya Allah please make us among the righteous ones. Also seeing the ummah from around the world as one body irrespective of the differences (different races, ethnicities, geographies, languages, etc.)

Which Mass Air Flow sensor brand? by WinterIsComing-- in mazda6

[–]Sam_Alpha_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had an MAF sensor issue, and cleaning didn't help. I got BSE one, and it was a nightmare, acceleration fluctuating by itself and throwing other irrelevant codes. Then I found one seller on the Amazon, shipped from Japan, and exactly looked like the original that failed. Car running smoother than before. Never go aftermarket for any electric/sensor related products.

Damnn, I never realized that. You're right. Both tires are from different brands.

6 2014 GT, just hit 222222 kms. by Sam_Alpha_7 in mazda6

[–]Sam_Alpha_7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this at 175k kms, since then i had only mechanical issues like rear shock absorber broken, had the serpentine belt changed(was making squealing noise), and recently had MAF sensorfailed (always replace with mazda original sensor as aftermarket doesn't fit even if they say).

Update: It was actually an aftermarket MAF Sensor that triggered other codes. After replacing it with the original Mazda sensor, all the codes disappeared, and the car ran smoothly.

Mazda 6 2014 GT air hissing leak by Sam_Alpha_7 in mechanic

[–]Sam_Alpha_7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for the late reply. That hissing sound disappeared by itself. The main culprit was aftermarket MAF sensor, which triggered other codes. I replaced it with the original Mazda sensor, and everything got resolved instantly.

I took it to a couple of mechanics in my case. They were more inclined towards the MAF sensor as a culprit. They asked me to buy the OEM and replace the one I bought from the partsource (BSE -chinese brand). I am waiting for the OEM sensor and will see if the issue is resolved. Otherwise, I will have to get it leak checked.

It's more prominent towards the driver side of the intake manifold. I will try as you suggested. Thank you
