But that was what I meant, and also, I can tell you this scan device cant tell you if you water pump fails. This was the point the other guy was trying to raise.

I beg to differ, Some cars(BMWs & hybrids) have electric water pump with a flow sensor as feedback.. So when water pumps starts to fail ECU throws a "low flow code" which scanners can tell

I had exactly this same problem . I visited so many experts who come on radio to discuss auto issue but they only speak grammar. Thank God I was able to meet a mechanic that collected only 8k to fix a problem that nearly made me go for another engine. He scanned the car. Got all the codes and brought out his other laptop and clicked on application that brought out the diagram of my car . As he was looking at it he was writing out his report as if he is a medical doctor. At the end he discovered my caterlist , temperature sensor, the two oxygen sensor are bad and also he changed the plugs. . That was how my car remained calm and all problems disappeared till date. I call him car doctor. May God bless Mr Adebayo the mechanic

Please, can I have this fellow's contact details, or yours? Please, reach me on 08180005412. Thanks in anticipation.

The difference between being illiterate and being a mechanic is as much as the difference between being stu.pid and being wise.
Only a stu.pid person will equate being a mechanic to being an illiterate.

When I first got my car, I didn't know it has been kazeemised already. So on one particular day I returned from a short drive, I parked the car, off the engine and removed the key. I stepped out of the car and slammed the door. You can't imagine what happen! grin
The ignition came on that is, fans started working with dashboard lights shocked while the key was on my palm.

The vehicle wasn't using remote control so I won't say someone was playing pranks on me. I was like wow! Incredible.

I see many complaints about rodent attacks.

WD40 works in keeping them away. Spray on the wires periodically. I heard original Irish Spring soap works too. There is another powder, whose name I can't remember now. It's downside though is for the very next guy that works in the engine bay, and happens to get it to his eyes, or that precious tool between the legs! grin
