Lol. Because they are in the dark. We have all the tools for diagnosis and repairs. No car leaves our workshop with a check engine light on. Unless the owner is not ready to fix it. But we must, emphasis, must identify and have the capacity to fix it.

U wan try us?
does 'no car' include Volkswagen products?
cos those cars can drive even the devil insane.

Since you know all this INFORMATION, why don't you repair the car yourself?
The PURPOSE of the mechanic is to make as much money of you as possible if not he will be out of business. He will play every trick in the book to play dumb. And just when you think he is no good, he will suddenly solve one pressing issue in your car. Hence you get to pay him GRATEFULLY, for that which he has done.
You are the dumb ass. In Europe, people buy repair manuals and fix the cars themselves. Be prepared to pay with your Arm and Leg the moment you take your car to the mechanic and stop forming Professor wet no get job.
Abi, if you sabi am, why you no get workshop?

The Europe wey dey ur backyard abi? So, there are no mechanics in Europe abi? Cos everyone knows how to fix their own cars. Calling u dumb is a huge insult to dumb folks.

Sheybe you see now? You want to drive a car but you don't want to know Anything about it or how to fix it yourself. Why should the mechanic have mercy on you?

It is called "learning". You don't have to know everything in one day. It is constant tussel between you and the mechanic. Which of the 2 of you will get YOUR Money. Him or you? European will gladly buy the repair manual and begin to learn how to repair themselves. Patatapa leave car and use public transport.

Nigerians, have money. And I will help you finish it!

Dude, you see why I can't call you dumb. Using your analogy, why aren't you learning how to treat yourself when you fall ill instead of going to the hospital. Why don't you learn how to manufacture those drugs instead of buying. In fact, there is a lot of stuff u need to learn since you have learned how to fix your car. Mscheeew.

So sorry replying late.

Also ensure that your spare tire has the correct inflation. If this doesn't clear it, know that one or more of the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors is bad or broken. If so, your options are, change it or continue using it like that but without the functionality.

Cheers


thanks bro, but the recommended pressure for the spare tire pressure is 60psi going by the OEM requirement written by the door side, and the spare tire doesn't have the metal type of inflation valve as obtained in all other tires. so I feel the spare tire doesn't have a sensor fitted in it and inflating it 60psi is something I'm scared of doing.
