@poster,
yours is highly commendable and appreciated.

baba4u93: Tips for Driving an Automatic Transmission Car
There are only two foot pedals in an automatic transmission car - the brake and gas pedals.
Both the pedals are operated by driver's right foot and so the left foot rests on the floor.
The gear selector has the following markings, P for Park, R for Reverse, N for Neutral and D for driving. Neural is used if the car has to be pushed or towed. . .

i would differ on yr statement in bold. in auto drive i believe d right foot is only for d right pedal . . . and vice versa . .

Mr routsz,
Thanks for ur comment and ur commendation, if u are refering 2 d left footed ppl drivin automatic it is still advisable for dem 2 use there right foot most especially d way d pedals are fabricated thus if it where to b auto cars in uk/ south africa, japan etc (right hand drive) all man go use lefty b dat oooo

Please, should one change his gearbox oil from time to time. I use a Toyota Siena what kind of gear box oil is the best to use on and how often should it be changed.

hi kawkab, i will advise u not to continue having the impression of u changing gear (transmission) oil d same way u change engine oil during servicing for 1 reason, the SEAL by the gear oil sump might get damage easily when u lose and tight often but what i will tell u is dat constantly gauge ur transmission oil and upon u noticing a slight drop in d level u can go to any gas (petrol) station and buy transmission oil and top up to the manufacturers specification. As regard the kind of transmission oil i will ask u 2 always go to petrol station like OANDO, MOBIL, CONOIL for ur oil because there many adultrated oil are out there.
Have a progressional working week ahead and to all nairalanders

hw are u doin

Engineer Please how do i get the TCS light of from my EOD and there is this noise coming from the turning of the steering when I start the car and turn the steerring around but after about 20-30mins of driving the car I will not hear the noise again till the next day when I will start the car again Please what is the cause of this noise.

like ahah ikeyman alwys say im not an expert but i will always talk on things i know for real; the noise u are getting is definately from the steering component via pipe lines ,rack etc; there is a leakage somewhere; u just have to either check the floor where the car is park to see what drop off overnite ha or check the fluid level or look around the body to see if there are traces of fluid or let the mechanic look for it

so this is what u get; when u start the engine; na your car naw; u must notice the steering is stiff and hard to turn; thereafter with an open pipeline the air slips in to form some bubble; so when the engine start so do the the pump which drive circulates the fluid around and the noise u get to hear come from the reaction of those moving bubbles; so within few mins as the motor spin the air gap now completely driven out then noise ceases; then your steering comes back to normal

however with the leak still there then the fluid will eventually drawn out

hi dude

good morning nairalanders

Hi Guys. I use a 2004 honda accord EX-L. my ABS light on the dashboard comes on after driving for 15 minutes from startup. If i thereafter park the car for less than 10 minutes before starting it again, the light stays on at startup. But if the car is parked for more than an hour, i get the 15-minute delay while driving before the light flashes on again.

Kindly help proffer a solution or refer me to a good diagnostics centre in Lagos for a resolution. Thanks.

Thanks baba for your insightful post.

I was just wondering if you have an idea of what can be the cause of my car jerking anytime I put it in reverse gear.
Every other thing works fine with the car, the gear changes appropriately both when accelerating and downshifting but whenever I try to shift to reverse gear, the car actually moves into reverse but it jerks first. I've been wondering why.

The car is a V6 auto 2003 accord.

Thanks and your responses will be welcome

pak,
sincerely i will advise u 2 scan d car first b4 taking stand on anything, issues like dis might b complicating as in might b dat it d solenoid dat is acting up or the actuation inside valve body dat has problem.
