Jamie1000:Then let your mechanic make the necessary decisions for u then since he is the one physically with the vehicle, remote diagnosis can't help you with such sensitive decision. |

iamlarry99:You have a misfires for sure but it Difficult for me to suggest anything yet if no convincing test has been carried out to determine the cause unless you want to guess like what your mechanic is doing |

Structuralman: The check engine light and Abs is on. I did a scan, they said Oxygen sensor is bad. Although, most people say they don't even drive with oxygen sensor. I have ordered for an identical oxygen sensor. But, I doubt if that it's the major issue. When this happens, I feel a pressure pushing back my legs as I press on the gas pedal, if I press too hard, engine works hard and a loud sound and temperature imediately goes up. |

autologic: I don't trust all this mechanic. He said, I should clean the gear box filter. He opened my gear box. It was clean as new. He fixed it back, but couldn't place my inner cup well. That's how the oil started draining I had to refill oil twice before working on the inner cup. Spent 3 times of what I should have spent because of carelessness |

This is most common when trying to accelerate from zero going up even the smallest inclined hill, after coming to a stop. The first 2 gears up to 3 is sluggish, takes longer than normal to get to top speed. But,once in top speed runs great. All gear shift normal and selection is fantastic when on top speed. |

Good day men and gazzuzu Pls how else do one diagnose LOW OIL PRESSURE ON 2010 CORROLA. Immediately you drive to some certain hours ,the low oil pressure will come on with a warning sound "pon pon". It will be coming at intervals until you shutdown, den it won't come up until engine is on for some hours again. NB : All the oil are new with filter and still very gaged. My kazeem said it's oil pump dat I will need to change and instead of doing that I should forego the engine and replace with a new one. I.e sell the engine at this stage and have it replaced. His reason is that the pump changing is actually difficult and we may not found a compatible oil pump like, out of 10, it may be two that will work and this will only be confirmed after some hours drive again and the indications refuse to pop which means if we r doing so, we could b opening the engine everyday for 10 days just to get the compatible one. . This is the dilemma I found my self and have tot to seek better solution from professionals here. CC: Gazzuzu promax and everyone here. My location is Riverstate for who can be of help physically. Pls don mind my grammar.I just drop it d way e de pain me. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by myorh: 6:24pm On Dec 29, 2021 |
Good day everyone. My car, 2013 Camry makes noise from the front driver tyre side when I reverse. Took it to a mechanic and he said it was the brake pads that it was too smooth. So I replaced the front brake pads. But today when I drove out, even though the noise has greatly reduced, I could still hear it a bit. And I decided to wind down while driving, I was hearing sounds like the brake pad was touching the rotor even though I wasn't using brakes. Mind you, I noticed while he was changing the brake pads for the driver he struggled a bit before he could fit it, but the passenger entered easily with the same brake pad size. When I mentioned that to him, he said I'd need to resurface the rotor. But I'm having a strong feeling that the pads are not retracting after braking, hence reason for the sound I'm hearing. Should I go ahead to resurface the rotor as he said or what other options do I have? Cc oga @Gazzuzz and other people that chip in please. |

Hallenjay: Oil pump is not bad. Drain oil , drop oil pan, clean/wash the strainer inside the oil pan, replace oil and filter with 20w50 oil. If after this you still have flickering oil lights, problem is your engine bearings and possible crankshaft 1 Like |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by frebor(m): 9:18am On Dec 30, 2021 |
GAZZUZZ: It's for a burnt gasket repair, engine doesn't really burn oil so no plan to change piston rings. Head bolts are not compulsory, but may be necessary if they have a hard time getting it out. |

frebor: And you want to import parts Uncle take the head to a machine shop for grinding (or better still contact me for a head that has never overheated) buy a graphite head gasket (perish the idea of metal gasket) every other seal and gasket is available original in the market. The headbolts on paper are not to be reused , but guess what? Every one does here and in obodo! Just pray your block does not have strip bolt syndrome if you do (I have a block for sale) |
