candygebsslim: u virtually changed almost everything except the car itself and ur mechanic. choose which one u want to change amongst the two, u will extend ur life by 20yrs when u do PS there is a problem somewhere that is thermo-dynamic meaning th problem is there, but increases with rise in temp..... start by confirming if the transmission oil cooler line is still connected, then what kinda fluid did u use for the gear box? seahorse or abro or Mobil 1 or Mobil xhp? and yes I know what I'm saying, those kazeems can and will use even brake/clutch fluid for ur gearbox...... I strongly suspect the fluid. |

parcifal: u meant "random multiple misfires" start by checking for unplugged/ broken/loose hoses and pipes around the intake area. all ur injectors / plugs cannot just go bad like that. gambus007 ova to u |

parcifal:Best is to paste all codes then THEY shall give you a recommendation on way forward. |

GAZZUZZ:I'm new into the transportation business. I just bought two mini buses which I intend to rent out for weekly payment. Please I have a few questions for my esteemed auto section members: 1) How often should commercial cars be serviced and what are the critical things in the vehicle that need to be serviced for it not to break down and last long? 2)What are the necessary frequent indicators prior to a breakdown? PS: Please give me any necessary advice that you feel I would need. The vehicle is a mini-bus that usually conveys 7 passengers. |

obekediamondfuto: This year alone we have see 3 specimens in the workshop. They were all ECU related. The ECU kills the gearbox. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 11:30am On Jul 22, 2018 |
Wilfredpat22: you have every ones attention. Noises from the rear of that vehicle could be caused by more than one defective part. Any of these could cause noises from the rear. www.nairaland.com/attachments/7449384_screenshot20180722102458_jpeg6d462e9fda71e68f4fe38c5a6701cc99 www.nairaland.com/attachments/7449385_screenshot20180722102414_jpeg29394d0ce4e0829bcbc79e07a1f8cd52 www.nairaland.com/attachments/7449386_screenshot20180722102347_jpega7605941eaea8979948aae824adcc782 www.nairaland.com/attachments/7449389_screenshot20180722102223_jpeg51c196a8fe9260a501ffdaf22b126efe www.nairaland.com/attachments/7449410_screenshot20180722104038_jpeg8e4043b0e6d757ff8da568b17c5186dd Please note, to fix noise issues, proper Diagnosis and part testing is required. I am avoiding the sway bar links and bushings since they have been removed. The upper strut mounts are the first possible culprits, in most cases the 19mm nut is loose, but best practice, take it out and inspect. www.nairaland.com/attachments/7449410_screenshot20180722104038_jpeg8e4043b0e6d757ff8da568b17c5186dd Next. Lower control arm bushings on the left and on the right. Have your mechanic Inspect and replace if faulty. www.nairaland.com/attachments/7449431_screenshot20180722102458_jpeg6d462e9fda71e68f4fe38c5a6701cc99 Lateral arm bushings, there are 4 of them, if there is excessive play, there will be horrible noises on uneven roads. www.nairaland.com/attachments/7449389_screenshot20180722102223_jpeg51c196a8fe9260a501ffdaf22b126efe www.nairaland.com/attachments/7449390_screenshot20180722102347_jpega7605941eaea8979948aae824adcc782 www.nairaland.com/attachments/7449392_screenshot20180722102414_jpeg29394d0ce4e0829bcbc79e07a1f8cd52 Other factors to note. Excessive air pressure. If you have over 35psi in your tyres, you will have and unpleasant ride on rough roads. Fake rear struts. If the rear struts are bad or Fake, they generally have horrible noises when on uneven roads. KYB struts are good and can be locally sourced. Ensure it is engraved MADE IN JAPAN and not JAPAN QUALITY. Exhaust touching the body frame. A loose fuel tank. Warnings. If your vehicle is rusted badly, this will be a partnership between the panelbeater and mechanic. It will not be a 1 day job. 2. Do not cut tyres and use as bushings. 3. When you are done ensure you do a 4wheel allignment. 4. Expect a lot of other parts to fail while doing this e.g abs wheel speed sensor, rusted brake lines and replacing possible entire parts like the rear spindle. if you follow this by the book it will be noise free 101per. At the end of the day the bushings might be the culprits. www.nairaland.com/attachments/7449479_screenshot20180722102239_jpeg281d8053a7a91a00ec0a7017b54ad5e1 good luck. 1 Like |

Segzila: ability to test the replacement part is key. I learnt that 10years ago. Let me give you a clue, Voltage is A/C not DC, not resistance. Buy new sensors if you are unable to test tokumbor replacements. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 11:35am On Jul 22, 2018 |
parcifal: coils, injectors, spark plugs. |

GAZZUZZ: wow, so while changing from 13pin to 10pin, the ecu must be changed as well? these kazeems need to know this oh |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 4:15pm On Jul 22, 2018 |
obekediamondfuto: the point I am trying to drive at is, we replaced gearboxes (13pin)with the right specs! But they where still acting up until we replaced the ECU's From our autopsy reports, the old gearboxes died from faulty computers. |
