Oga siena, The A/c of my car has stopped working for a while. No gas and even when you fill with gas,it leaks and finishes within 3 days. Recently, my radiator which is single cell was overheating and started leaking badly. My mechanic said the issue for the a/c was that the car was produced as a right wheel car but converted to left so the evaporator or something related to the a/c wasn't sitting well. Also for the radiator,he said I needed to change to double cell. I just wanted to find out if these are lasting solutions to the issue or not. Also,i would love to know the price range they sell a double cell radiator for camry 2.2. I would appreciate your swift response.Thank You |

The first step to solving this menace of radiator switch shorting, double cell radiator and thermostat removal, is to make Nigerians understand that an engine is actually supposed to be hot to perform efficiently. A cold engine is a suffering engine. For an engine, HEATING UP is good OVERHEATING is bad NOT HEATING UP is bad An engine us supposed to hear up to a certain temperature (80-90degrees) to work efficiently and until it gets to dt temperature, it is an inefficient engine with high wear and tear. 2 Likes |

its confirmed that the top gasket of my Nissan pathfinder is bad but the car is not overheating. my mechanic wants me to change not only the gasket but also the radiator to a double cell to avoid a re occurrence. |

SELKAY:why is it hard to take your car to professional that will charge you a considerable fee but will do the right thing instead of using kazeem that will take 1k from you but will eventually destroy your car for you . if you have a bad head gasket something is causing it ,look for the root of the issue instead replacing with double cell radiator that is not the factory recommended for your car. Instead of your kazeem to admit to you that he lack the expertise to troubleshoot the issue for you but prefer to waste money on part that is not needed and you agree to go ahead with the deal . I will advice that you save the money you want to use to buy double cell radiator to pay a professional that will help to troubleshoot the issue destroying the head Gasket cos there is no point replacing it if the hidden issue has not be fished out and resolved. 2 Likes |
