Hi, Pulley wobble can also be due to the imbalance as you said. Please get it checked. Tapping noise, yes the exhaust leak noises too reduce when whittle warm up as metal expands when heated up. Sorry for the late reply. Thank you -

Hi, Pulley Wobble: There is a damper where the Pully is pressed, in any case if the damper gets bent or deteriorated then pulley wobble can occur. Crank key isn't that fragile for that to cause problem from light hammering. Tapping noise: I mostly can be the valve clearance, it can also be the piston to cylinder wall clearance or exhaust manifold leak in some cases. In some cars using synthetic engine oil helps reduce / stop tapping noise due to valve clearance issues. It may be due tot the same issue of the pulley. I recommend to get the pulley wobble fixed soon or else it will affect the crankshaft. Please check if the pulley / harmonic balancer is separated from the rubber damper. Thank You -

Hi, Most of the Chinese cheap alternatives tend to have low life compared to branded led sets like Osram, Philips for example. Also better to use less without fans, my personal experience they fail. Thank You -

Hi, Well if you need better lighting its best to change to led lighting which does not need the wiring to be changed plus they are more efficient. Use a branded led kit like osram, Philips for example. Cheaper low quality alternatives seems to have poor life. Changing the wattage if not done properly will cause issues and more heat is also produced. Sometimes your light issue maybe due to poor headlight alignment. If corrected issues might be solved. If theirs anything else to clarify please be free to reply. Thank You : )

Well it is not needed, specially when the engine is idling the fuel entering is much richer so too much fuel can affect the engine life as it affects the oil. Specially in countries like Sri Lanka it is not needed. Most of the engine wear occur during start up & idle so try to avoid it as much as possible. Highway driving is the best to extend engine life. When engine is cold gently accelerate & drive until engine & drivetrain has reached the operating temperatures. Turbos usually needs to be warm so gently drive would do, idling isn't needed also the vehicle cooling system do warm the engine to operating temperature.

Hi, if you are able to visit my shop at Yakkala we can check on this and repair. Do you here the motor sound? Please check these simple tricks; Check your fuse, if burnt replace it and try.
