I have a situation please, my radiator cap was opened for top up this morning an I forgot to cover it after. The car was driven from ajah to Lekki and back for church. Was heading to the mainland frm ajah about 1hr ago when I noticed the temperature gauge was in the red zone so I parked. That's when I saw I didn't replace the radiator cap and its lost. I topped up with water and continued my trip keeping an eye on the temp gauge. The gauge was in red again when I was on carter bridge but it went back to normal while I was looking for a safe sport to park. Same thing happened like 4 times before I got to home. What does the gauge fluctuation mean? Should I be worried?
NB: radiator cap will be replaced tomorrow

close your eyes lets say a prayer.

Dear Lord,
help blackfm, his car should not develop cracks or warped cylinder. At worst case scenario, may it only be the gasket that's burnt.

Amen.

Stancity:
Amen ooo...
Bro have you launched the Avalon

@Gazzuzz please this needs ur attention.
My Honda Accord 1998 i4 has rust issues. Iv tried to work on the ones I can. I travelled to the east with it and encountered many potholes. Now I just entered smal chain gallop in Bariga and my rear left tire bent inside and was rubbing the shock absober. Found out something that looks like tie-rod broke inside due to rust. Pls, see the pics and advice

GAZZUZZ:


it is fixable, you will need to consult a very good panel beater and a mechanic. Cars with extreem underbody rust cases should be scrapped.

hello GAZZUZZ

could you give me an hint as to why my air conditioner will cut off in traffic usually heavy traffic. the AC begins work normally again the moment the car gets out of traffic and begins to breath well again.

GAZZUZZ:


loaw charge (low gas) faulty compressor, faulty cooling fan.

Dear Gazzuzz,

I had a very bad hesitation and loss of power especially when the car jst covered short distance. Different shoe makers in Mechanics and rewires clothing were just fingering my highlander without solutions.They were guessing I should change plugs or coils or air flow meter.Until I met one rewire that scanned and said I should change the O2 sensor under the car.I did that,I was expecting the check engine light to go off immediately but not,I had to remove the EFI fuse and viola,it went off.

My questions are these:

1.Did I do the right thing by removing the fuse?
2.Could the removal wipe off any pulse width programme on the injectors?
3.How do I know that all is well now,as the CEL hasn't come up over a week now and the stalling and hesitation all gone too
4.Is it normal to feel a little drag when ascending a steep?
THANKS

i was on youtube early and people say its faulty condenser fan... it is an easy fix?

did youtube show you how to identify a failing condenser fan? self medication is good but don't rush to conclusions. I would expect you would identify the culprit ON YOUR VEHICLE.

Permission to address you as General Gazzuzz Sir. I have 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer; I did oil(5W30) change and the Mechanic almost emptied the entire 5 litres into the engine( 4.3 ). Now, the oil spills and the same Mechanic says it comes from the oils seal between the gear box and engine and the engine must be "dropped" . I am quite scared of the unintended consequences that usually greet "dropping" of an otherwise healthy engine. General Gazzuzz, is there any other way of solving that spill without resorting dismantling of the engine ?

Many thanks.

fanex:
No it didnt.

The gurus in the house, please enlighten me on the merit and demerit of the letter "C" in car tyre size rating. Normally the size of my tyre is P205/65R15 but my supplier brought me new tyres 2 of which were carrying the "C" symbol. Just want to know if it is safe for me to use or not. Presently, I asked the vulcanizer to use it as the rear tyres. Am driving EOD' 05 edition.

Thank you
