Fake Parts That Destroy Engines

“Sasta ≠ acha” ๐Ÿ”ง๐Ÿ’ธ

In Pakistan, we all love a good deal.
But when it comes to car parts, “bohat sasta mil gaya” often translates to “engine gaya”.

Your engine is not a ceiling fan. It cannot survive on shortcuts, jugaar, or parts that look original but behave like villains in a drama serial. Fake car parts in Pakistan are one of the biggest silent killers of engines, and most drivers realize it after the damage is done.

Let’s expose the culprits—before your car does khansi on the road.


Why Fake Car Parts Are So Dangerous ๐Ÿšจ

Fake parts don’t just wear out faster—they:

  • Damage critical engine components

  • Reduce fuel efficiency

  • Cause overheating

  • Lead to expensive repairs

  • Lower resale value

In short:
Jo part sasta hota hai, repair mehngi hoti hai.

Using genuine parts isn’t luxury—it’s survival.


Most Common Fake Parts That Destroy Engines in Pakistan ๐Ÿ”ฅ

1. Fake Engine Oil (Engine Ka Slow Poison) ๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ

Fake engine oil is everywhere—especially in unsealed bottles.

What Happens:

  • Poor lubrication

  • Excessive engine wear

  • Overheating

  • Sludge buildup

Your engine needs clean oil, not “yeh bhi chal jata hai” oil.

Tip:
Always buy sealed, branded oil from trusted platforms.

2. Fake Oil Filters (Filter Nahi, Faraq) ๐Ÿงป

A fake oil filter:

  • Doesn’t trap dirt properly

  • Allows debris into the engine

  • Blocks oil flow

Result?
Bearings crying. Pistons complaining. Engine threatening early retirement.

Cheap filters cost engines.

3. Fake Air Filters (Engine Ko Asthma) ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ

Fake air filters:

  • Let dust straight into the engine

  • Reduce combustion efficiency

  • Increase fuel consumption

Considering Pakistani roads produce more dust than a wedding hall carpet—this is dangerous.

4. Fake Spark Plugs (Misfire Ka Champion) โšก

Fake spark plugs cause:

  • Misfiring

  • Rough idling

  • Engine knocking

  • Poor mileage

Your engine needs clean ignition—not Chinese surprise sparks.

5. Fake Timing Belts (Engine Heart Attack) โฑ๏ธ

One of the most engine-destroying fake parts.

If a fake timing belt snaps:

  • Valves bend

  • Pistons get damaged

  • Engine overhaul becomes inevitable

This is not a part to bargain on. Ever.

Why Fake Parts Are So Common in Pakistan ๐Ÿคฆ‍โ™‚๏ธ

Because:

  • Packaging is copied

  • Prices look attractive

  • Sellers disappear after sale

  • Buyers trust “reference” more than verification

Most fake car parts in Pakistan look original—until they start destroying engines quietly.


Signs Fake Parts Are Damaging Your Engine โš ๏ธ

Watch out if:

  • Engine overheats frequently

  • Oil turns black too quickly

  • Fuel average drops suddenly

  • Unusual engine noise appears

  • Check engine light becomes permanent

If your car says “bhai bas”, listen.

  • Check packaging quality

  • Verify part numbers

OEM vs Aftermarket vs Fake (Short Reality Check) ๐Ÿง

Quick Checklist Before Buying Engine Parts โœ”๏ธ

Ask yourself:

  • Is packaging sealed?

  • Is the price realistic?

  • Is the seller verified?

  • Does Auto Axis list it?
