Thank you boss. Pls how much and where can I get the transmission speed sensor pls.

Have you tested it and have you checked the other components I said you should?
Also, where is your location?

My Location is Ago palace way sir.

Okay, i don't know technician there, but your technician should be able to do these tests I asked you of.

I use a 2008 camry which I bought some weeks ago, I changed the two back tyres and I notices the shock absorber spring is touching the tires, whats the best way to fix this?

Anything can cause it. There's a lot of reason why it could exhibit such symptoms. Pls have a competent technician check it.

LE

KnackistAboki:

LE

.
Check if your tyres are bent or swollen, check if shock tube are bent, if all are in order, replace the tyre with 16" rim which came standard for that car.

Alright, I'll check.. thank you.

It's up to your mechanic to decide which is better

The mechanic checked, He said it's a bad spring on the clutch actuation cable . The cable has to be replaced.

Check your AC panel, check wiring going to AC panel, check relays and fuses for AC.

Good evening House,

Please kindly advise me, I recently changed the COMPLETE ac system on my Toyota camry 2008 to the last hose and pipe, compressor, evaporator everything because all the ac system was completely blocked and burnt.

But the ac only worked for about 1week after changing the whole system and it stopped working, I took it back and black fluid were coming from the entire ac system.

The guy flushed all the again but asked me to change compressor i just bought because the black stuff has affected it.

Please what may have caused the black stuffs and is there any assurance that it won't happen again after buying another compressor?

Thank you

Please I need help.my Honda eod 05 has this blinking D on the dashboard and it doesn't engage.i have tried changing the gear sensor.it stoped but when I drive to some distance it starts again.and stopes when the car cools down.kindly suggest the solution to this.and if you're in owerri,imo state and can fix this please let me know.

I'm not an AC expert and can't say what's wrong with it

Hello, I use a Nissan Altima, recently when the car is revved on idle it hangs for a while in 2000rpms before I drops down. MAF sensor is good and the nozzle injector was also cleaned and it still persists. Now the trottle will be pressed and the car won’t rev at all

IAMU:

Water pump) the reason why I said this is that if there is no cut in the gasket, there is 3 type of bad gasket related to coolant 1 cut leaking of coolant to compression, this is a situation where your car may not start at all but problem always starting from drinking and shorting too much coolant 2 cut leaking of coolant to oil channel, which is situation where oil and water mixing, 3 cut leaking coolant leak to outside this is situation where you found coolant leaking from the boundary of cylinder head and block engine

Throttle body or fuse but diagnose first where are you from ?

Most likely an overheating system, bad or fake gas, or moisture in the system.

Scan the car 1st.
I had similar experience recently with a Ford Edge and it was caused by a blocked exhaust system.

I earlier posted this on the "Peugeot cars with attitude section" since 23rd, Its quiet there , hope to get some comments here.

Hello everyone! I have a Peugeot 206 :

* 1.4i 75HP (TU3JP) manual gear box.
*Bought brand new at 109km mileage.
* Has 53,936 km total mileage and 15 years service.
* Used only for light town running.
* Only manufacturer approved oils have been used on it.
* All replacement parts used were genuine, ordered from Peugeot dealers overseas.

I plead guilty of the following Lion abuses :

* Car has been tampered with by numerous Kazeems: "rewire" and mechanic . In the early years, I was using Oluwalogbon Motors on Obafemi Awolowo Way Ikeja, but stopped due to high prices!

*Cooling fan was connected to run direct.

* Oil change was irregular due to low utilisation, but manufacturer recommended Total oil was always used.

* Timing belt cut while I was driving, ( My carelessness) this thread has taught me to replace timing kit every 4 years or 80kkm. The cylinder valves got damaged by the incident, I replaced all 8 valves, but work was done by a kazeem.

* The car once overheated in 2019 , genuine gaskets where installed by a kazeem. I cannot remember if the water pump was changed.

I repent my sins, going forward I will not abuse the lion again. I love the car and Intend to restore it gradually to how it was in 2008, or at least the best it could be at its age. We shall start from under the bonnet, gradually progressing to aesthetics. The progress will be posted here .

This thread has been of tremendous help to me , but more help and input is needed from knowledgeable and experienced persons here.

My lion has the following issues under the bonnet :

ENGINE :

* Exhausts white smoke (burning oil):
I suspect this problem was caused by the quality of work done by the Kazeem who replaced the damaged cylinder valves.

All the Kazeems suggested I buy a tokunbo engine ! I don't want to buy a tokunbo engine because :

* It will come with unknown history.
* It will most likely have a higher mileage than mine.
* This thread has shown me that most tokunbo engines are refurbished Nigeria used.

During the course of my research , I discovered that smoky exhaust fumes may be caused by three things:

* Worn piston rings,
* Leaking valves/seals
* Burnt gaskets.

In order to isolate the cause, one needs to carry out a compression test. I asked around for a place to get the test done in Lagos , but found none! This forced me to buy the compression test kit. I learnt how to conduct the test on YouTube, however because I am not experienced in practice,I sought the help of some Kazeems to disconnect the fuel and ignition, so that I can carry out the test myself, but they all refused.

I contacted PAN in Kaduna and asked them to recommend a mechanic I could use in Lagos. They introduced me to Mr Goke whose workshop is located at a military premises in Yaba. When I went to him, he was also not keen on carrying out the compression test. He used his phone to scan the car and told me there was a problem with two of the cylinders, He further mentioned that the engine sounds okay when revved.His diagnosis was bad piston rings. The following parts will be needed to fix the problem:

1. Piston rings
2. Valve seal
3. Sleeve packing
4. Cylinder head gasket

From the list, He has basically covered all the possible causes of burning oil. What do you guys think? Should I go ahead ? What are the chances of success considering the car's history? What is a reasonable labour cost for this kind of work? Has anyone here used the services of Mr Goke ?

Perusing this thread and one of Ikenna's videos, I have learnt that :

* Cooling system abuse ( which I am guilty of)
* Overheating ( happened in 2019)

Can cause structural damage to cylinders, pistons and connecting rods . Is there a way of testing to determine if mine is damaged?
