Migrated to Europe and thinking of returning to SL. Need your thoughts!
ajm replied to firstgear's topic in The Lounge
You can't compare living and working in a European country vs SL. In addition to a functional system, you will be building a pension fund that would allow you to retire comfortably, at least in SL. What you save in SL in rupees will be worthless in a few years, whereas foreign currency savings keep appreciating. The social security would ensure if you are laid off or become unable to work, you and your dependents will still get some income to survive and not end up in the streets( similar to security of extended family net in SL) . You and your children will have access to best healthcare, without having to go bankrupt or collect donations from others. Education opportunities for children are more and also advanced. But ... we don't live forever. So it's important to be content. Have you left the parents in SL as well? That would be another reason to return. -
Easiest way is to start the engine and take from the fuel return line near fuel filter.

If you just change throttle and not the combustion maps, it will drive the air/fuel management system nuts and worsen performance and emissions on transient operation

Diesel type for Mercedes-Benz w211 CDI 2.2L
ajm replied to Dilantha Jayathilake's topic in General Automotive
If its got DPF and common rail injectors, and always been run on super diesel, doing so will save the parts. The only euro engines that I know even runs on used vegetable oil without isssues are early 2000s Audis and VWs with the pump-duse injectors, before they changed to common rail. -

Tesla’s $25,000 Electric Car Means Game Over For Gas And Oil

Looks like hydrogen combustion engines are getting a strong push from toyota as an alternative to electric 🤔 -
There are no more automobile engineers in the world. There are system engineers,electrical and Electronic engineers, software engineers, mechanical and NVH engineers, Application engineers, functional safety experts, project managers etc working simultaneously on a single project to release a new vehicle model within a given budget, spec and time. Vehicle development has become so complicated that since the nineties its not possible for one almighty "automobile engineer" to posses the required expert level knowledge to design and develop a vehicle. Do you rather mean automobile "technicians " 🤔

Normally they come through ac filter. So blocking the ac filter with a grill is enough, not sure about acqua though. Have you tried the mortein cubes?

Yes bare land will always be in demand and easy to sell, unlike land with houses or flats. Assuming Banks will not go bankrupt, foreign currency deposits might be an interesting option(140 to 200 rupees per USD, almost 50% increase in 5 years and you get at least 3% annual interest from the Bank on top of that).

BMW E90 (diesel) 2011 vs Mercedes C180 2011/20012
ajm replied to prageeth89's topic in General Automotive
They are two different classes. For the 5series, you should compare with E class. If the current prices are same, it is due to external factors in Sri lanka (resale value, reliability, mileage, availability of parts etc) -
Interesting, but he still doesn't need to do emissions test right?🤣
