Good evening guys, I want to buy this 2006 rav4 and after checking the history I discovered its AutoCheck score is 91 which is very good, ( with other vehicles at 61-85) even though 2 accidents reported as slight and minor were included in the history. Should I be worried about the accidents?
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by magarchi: 1:17pm On Mar 04, 2015

Pls i need advice for vw passat 2002 model. i intend buying a nigerian used one and the owner said it has gear relay fault. what does that mean and what re the other peculiar issues with this car? thanks
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by koluray: 3:57pm On Mar 11, 2015
@boosken, when buying a used car, you need to know the cost of fixing and optimising, that should inform your buying decision, whether its worth it or not. the gear relay needs replacement, thats what ur being notified about. am not aware of other peculiar issues though
@magarchi....for aesthetics, i would prefer the EDGE, but for maintenance and resell value, i would prefer the lexus
@conyema12....a 2006 rav 4 is a lovely drive, i would not be bothered about the accident history if the car looks great, but it would be nice to know if the airbag condition is okay, as safty comes first

Yes it is a peculiar issue cos they keep feeding the car the wrong transmission oil. Find another car

You need consult the Manual is the VW branded oil your best bet is to get it online or have a friend abroad send it to you.

First check that if the radiator's fan is working properly. It should start when the engine is about 90 o C

And ofc did you check the coolant level ?
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by macko: 4:31pm On Mar 17, 2015
Gents, My Nissan Premera 2000 wagon that i recently bought is jerking while driving and does not fire well, i have changed the fuel pump, run a check on the distributor, exhaust , air floe meter and all the necessary electrical checks have been done on it yet the car does not fire well.
Finally i took it to another electrician who said it is the car brain box which i found very difficult to believe.
Could any one please help me.
You can mail me via shyspoil@gmail.com

I'm hunting for mazda 6 2007 touring. Anyone with useful information on where I could buy a neat one should help please. I've checked olx, cheki and carmudi.
Please help a brother before I change my mind and buy one of these bland, not fun to drive, very plain toyotas.
Thanks.
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by oktawian(m): 11:29am On Mar 19, 2015
It's a very nice car, if you will find one that is in really good shape it will give you a lots of fan from driving.

Try to find one with 1.8l or 2.0l petrol engine, about the gearbox , maunal and automatic , both are good but the way that they taking care about automatic gearboxes in Nigeria... hmm cheesy

As a mechanic engineer from Europe:

My advice if it will be automatic , buy proper gearbox oil and filter and change them right away after buying the car ! It will give you a pece of mind for a really long time ! If you don't know what type of oil it use, feel free to ask me.

If you have a chance try to scan the whole car before buying, by scan i mean plug in the computer in to the car and check for any errors in engine, ABS, airbag,gearbox, etc. modules.

Regards Oktawian

adisajoshua:
kindly help me out,my nissan Altima 2003 4plug just got head gasket change, no more oil and water mix but the engine shakes all the time as if finding difficult to breathe,yet it didn't stopped working
exhaust check,plug/misfire check says all is well,
yet the engine shakes until it reached 2000rpm,it idle at 800/900rpm, another mechanic says timing might not be well set, should I allow him to set timing chain again
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by blessedjohny4u: 8:43am On Mar 25, 2015
Hello Adisa Joshua,

kindly allow your mechanic to have a look at the timing, it might just be retarded
or better still let him also look at the belt and pulleys for slacks.

if this doesn't work then look @ Ur air flow meter, this shld solve the issue.
