GAZZUZZ:


Signs of a burnt head gasket.

Check radiator cam for oily mix like sludge.

@Gazzuzz please also I noticed little engine oil drops from this part of the car (mechanic called it 'distributor')
My mechanic has twice worked on it with car glue yet I noticed it again this morning.

ukata16:
@Gazzuzz good morning.
Please I noticed the coolant on my car reservoir is bellow MIN. I did the few mins running of engine you suggested sometime ago yet it's still under the MIN.
Can I top the coolant with another one or will I have to do drain of the old one?
It's the coolant that came with the car.
It's a Honda Accord 1998 i4

Oga gazzuzz.... compliment of the season....I drive a nissan primera 2000 p11-144.. 1.8 engine
I noticed that the engine short oil between service interval.... am using a mobile 1 5W30 full syn oil grade... no smoke... no visible leak ... oil is changed at every 3000km... far less than what is obtainable I guess.. odo is 138000 plus...

GAZZUZZ:


the instrument cluster could have a fault or the coolant temp sensor[img]http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSKfDJL9Ry30gla5exSvO0N79QhyF1TB4seSQOrtCfDlxbj7a5l0A[/img]

Thanks

It was a bad fuse

GAZZUZZ:


It was not. There is no fuse on your vehicle specified for temperature gauge on instrument cluster..

oga Gazzuzz...please I av a Toyota Camry that shows oil indicator few minutes when driving then after the car starts overheating.. what could be the cause sir?

GAZZUZZ:


what a waste. Try switching to 0w-40 and see if you can get more mileage out of it (5,000miles) if not just stick to 20w50 mineral with 3000km interval change

Omike85:

I use total classic oil 20w 50
engine is 1mz -fe v6
checked the oil level its normal and there is water in the radiator..
there is little rattling noise coming from the engine. it started when the oil indicator came up

GAZZUZZ:


oil indicator light (the red one) means low oil pressure. It could be caused by low quantity of engine oil, a blocked strainer or filter or bad oil pump or worn crank shaft bearings but you have also indicated overheating so it's possible the overheating is a symptom of the low oil pressure. Answer these questions

What is your engine type and specification
What is your current oil level?
What engine oil do you use?
Do you have coolant shortage?
Any strange rattling noise from the engine.

Oga Gazzuzz... Compliments of the Season!

My Mechanic told me that a plug in my Jeep Grand Cherokee 2000 model V8 engine is not firing. We changed all the plugs and the problem still persisted. He checked the coil and injector and confirmed them okay. Please help me with trouble shooting advice on what can be the possible cause and solution.

colossus2:

Is your mechanic your driver?
What happened before you changed all plugs?
What is the problem that is persisting?

samorasont:


I had the car serviced and the mechanic noticed that a plug is not firing, which made me to buy new set of plugs, after replacing them the same place is not firing, so he changed the nozzle and the coil but the same problem is still persisting.

Any advice will be appreciated.

House Please there's something weird about my suv. When the gear is in drive and I apply the brakes to a halt eg in traffic sometimes The car continues to rev between 0 and 1000r/min and behaves as if it wants to jump and go. Now I put the gear in neutral to avoid the car driving itself and one day leaving me behind. Is this normal ?

prof2015:

started recently but i haven't done anything concerning it because it happens once in a while
But the frequency of it happening has increased. A friend of mine advised i have the carburetor cleaned

Omike85:
