Your cars normal optimum temperature should be around 90 that's in the middle if I remember correctly we asked you to snap a pix of your temp Guage let us see.

it reach the middle point while The AC was on after about 30 minute driving nonstop before i park to let the gas of the heat pressure comes down before i added water to it but while i park i notice that my fan was not working then i saw the connector that makes the fan to work i fix it and the fan started working back ,
but what is bothering me is that after some minute on road again with ac on the gauge will rise to 70, as it reaches that i use to off the Ac back, cause i dont want it to over it again but then the Fan was working perfectly..

secondly
while driving around my area with AC on the Gauge always stays down not even 10 % up on temperature guage i need you all to give me idea
thanks all

obviously your car has been kazeemized
1. you use water as against coolant
2. you top up regularly the water, its either water is evaporating or there is a leak
3. the fan stopped working because things became too hot and fuses and wires were melting, thats the down side of running fans directly
4. your car isnt reaching optimum temperature, the needle should sit in the middle, not below, not above eevn while AC is on and the car running for six hours.

look at the pix i uploaded for where the guage should be it should be where the red dot is on my pix also was the car bought as Nigerian used?

Please can anyone recommend an Autoshop(preferably around Festac Town) where I can scan a 1996 Toyota Camry. I understand it's not OBD II. Most shops only have devices for scanning OBD II compliant vehicles. I need to scan it ASAP. Seems like the Catalyst is faulty/bad.
Thanks.

Hello guys, trust your all doing fine. Pls I need a simple answer to my complaint.

I own a Peugeot 406 V6 3.0, Manual Trans & sometimes I experience some vibrations on the pedals (clutch, brake & accelerator) especially after climbing sth like a speed bump or after driving on a rough road & in extreme conditions when the road is too rough it makes my brakes to fail even when you apply them & almost immediately, it releases back again. More so, I see brake fault on my on board screen. Can anyone one suggest possible issue or problem I am facing & how I can fix it. I hope to get a reply ASAP. Thanks.

Re: Car Talk Chat Room by fixzylani: 8:25am On Jun 01, 2017
Hello Guys, I need help pls.

I use a Chrysler town and country 2008. Nowadays, the car takes a while to start, sometimes it wont start until the third or 4th try, sometimes when i am driving and i slow down, the car just goes off, i try to start and it starts, nowadays when i park for less than 5 mins, if i try to start, it doesnt come on. They asked me to change plugs, i did, they asked me to change fuel pump, i did. Just yesterday, the etc light came on and it stays on. I dont know what to do pls. Can anyone help?
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by Afolabisemiu: 1:58pm On Jun 01, 2017
Good afternoon Guys.
I have a small problem with my car. I was advised to reconnect my fan to relay and put thrmostat in my car, i was told it is the best for fuel economy and avoid continous working of fan. but ever since ive returned the fan to relay and thermostat in the radiator hose, Ive observed the following.
1. I keep topping my reserviour virtually every other day especially when i go far distance.
2. My temperature guage usually goes beyond the half temp guage and try to go higher when I climb a hill or brigde.
3. I feel my engine becomes hotter than normal, though relapses and I've not really experinced over-heating but My mechanic is warning me that better I return it to direct or I am riskying headcasket burn.
4. When I speed for like 15 t 20 minutes, the moment I slow down I see that the temperature guage rises.
5. But one thing I noticed is that if I switch-on my AC, the temp guage never ever go beyond half. No matter the distance, never. Could it be the thermoswitch?
And when the fan was direct I never experinced this.
Though I observe that water in the reserviour usually gets dirty. If I remove the reserviour and wash, put new water, it will get dirty after a week. I once met a raditor mechanic, he said I need to blow or remove the raditor for proper cleaning, and that after that I can buy coolant and put it inside. pls any help here?
