And the steering wheel shaken up while engine running, it's not smooth. Anyway I've changed the Distributor Cap and Spark plugs, radiator water ok. ... Please Help me on this. Last time it was not like that.
2. The car don't have enough electic power. My headlihghts Dimmed, when i turn on headlights the aircon become slow. Do i need to change the relay? Do i need to put Dual Relay? My Battery is new NS60L. Aircon cannot work properly at night when i turn on the headlights.. Backlights also not bright.. When i turn on the signal lights the wiper and aircon become slow also.. Please Help me on this... How do i fix this problem...?
3. Engine don't have enough power. Last time before I fix the leak of the engine.. The car can run upto 140 Km/H.. I can travel lot of places .. around 350-400 Km. distances.. Do i need to change timing Belt.. ??
4. The engine oil last time i've used 10w engine oil but i don't know why the engine oil finish within 15 days.. So now I put 20w-50w engine oil.. which is more heavier than before.. still ok but the engine become heated fast... Actually what power of engine oil do i need to use?? .. my engine is 1000cc.

Charade CS 1985 Model - Need Help
Mr. Syeed M. Rabin,
1. Regarding to your engine leaking it can be due to gasket leak or oil seal leak at the cylinder head or the drive shaft oil seal or maybe other part of the engine. Once it is rectified I do not think there is going to be porblem. On the heated engine you must make sure that the radiator is OK, all the hoses are in good shape, the water pump should be working i.e. no leaking and lastly make sure that the radiator cooling fan is working well. Steering wheel shaking may be due to improper tuning.
2. Lack of electric power is due to the insufficient voltage supply to the battery by the dynamo during charging. Check the battery whether it can retain the voltage charged or replace the dynamo with a more higher voltage power.
3 & 4. Lack of engine power may be due to piston ring leaking, and check the exhaust pipe if there is any bluish smoke coming out when you rev the engine and is there any oil stain at the exhaust pipe.
I hope this can help you.
Bye.
