DECOtech:Hi, I was in gowon estate yesterday to check a used Mazda tribute that I will like to buy, it totally skipped my mind that you are based around there. It's a Mazda tribute 2003 v6, I noticed oil leaks/stains around the belt area, when I test drove the car, there was smell of burning oil coming from that area with a lot of heat as well (I have been reading it's a common problem with the ford escape engine). There is also a bit of noise from the right tyre area as I accelerate, it's a grinding noise, I suspect it's because the car has been sitting for long. Another thing I noticed is that the engine cuts when I raise it beyond RPM 4. (could be because its been sitting for long too) There is a slight vibration when I shift the gear to drive while holding down the break ( this scared me the most) I hope the transmission isn't faulty, could also just be faulty breaks. I am a novice at these things and this is the first time I am buying a car, from the observation above, do you think the car is worth a try. I have been following your post on Nairaland, that's why I decided to come to you for possible answers. Thanks in advance I forgot to mention that the check engine light is on |

grafikii: Is the engine overheating? check if the cooling system was properly bled and that there's no possibility of air pockets anywhere in the coolant passages. As for the oil leaks, you have a worn engine oil seal and also check the gaskets on the cam covers and oil filler cap. Ford and Mazda use the same engines except for some details. grafikii: YES, sitting for too long would allow rust to build up around the brake disks and calipers or even let the grease dry up from around the bearing and spindles in the hubs. Overhauling and replacement of brake pads will take care of that matter. grafikii: By the word "CUTS", do you mean "goes off"? ...if your answer is a NO, note that these days, manufacturers install REV LIMITERS in engines whose job is to prevent the engine from revving beyond a preset RPM while the vehicle is stationary. Its their own little way of stopping you from ruining your engine. grafikii: I want to believe you have test driven the vehicle. If the gears selected fine and the car drove well then, there's nothing wrong with the transmission unless one probes further with a scan tool. take note of the time interval between your selection of a gear (D or R) and the time the tranny takes to respond. it should not be longer than 2seconds. if it is longer than 2secs, then all is not well with that tranny. The vibration you experienced could be from a broken engine or tranny seat. grafikii: For this, you would have to find someone with a scan tool. unfortunately, I am not in Lagos at the moment and won't be coming in anytime soon. grafikii: I can't really say if its worth a try or not unless I see the car for myself especially to observe the pattern of the oil spillage. seeing pictures would have gone a long way. Why not find someone who has some knowledge about cars as I am not in town presently? Wishing you all the best, God bless you bro. |
