Auto Parts: US Nissan X-terra in Dubai, nissan x terra, pep boys

Question
Hello, I am living in Dubai, UAE (Gulf country in middle east).I got an offer to buy a Nissan X-Terra imported from US. I heard that the imported cars that are not designed for Gulf area may cause problems like overheating when used in Gulf countries. Does the specifications differs much between US and Gulf? I need your technical advice about buying such a car in such a country (hot temperature reaching 50 Celcius).

Answer
Hi Taleb,

I have no clue. However, most cooling systems don't know or care where they are as their job is to cool the engine whether the temp is -125 or +125. Your vehicle has no idea it is not in the USA anymore.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
