My Peugeot 206 has 175/65 R14 recommended tyre size based on the sticker by the door side, However, when I bought it I observed that all Tyres mounted on it were 185/70 R14 Tyres. Does that mean it can take handle such Tyres without any effects on the Car? Thank you I need expert opinions on this please thanks

Gazzuzz and other gurus please

The 206 is a budget vehicle . Smaller tyres mean cheaper car anything to bring down the cost wink

Also smaller tyres also better for fuel economy.

But in the Nigerian context , you are up Against bad roads, and availability.

185 or 195 will suffice without issues

I've been using the car for over 3yrs now and I've not repaired anything except from servicing.
This code started appearing since last week. AC technician changed compressor and condenser and forgot to put the radiator hose clip, which caused overheating while I was traveling two weeks ago.
The error code came up since then.

Not going to be that noticable. I'd say use the tires you have already.

Pls I need advice on any pocket friendly OBDII scanner that is capable of reading live data especially transmission fluid temperature.

At a point in time possibly, a job on the cylinder head was done and im pretty sure the engine timing wasn't set correctly. (Possibly off timing on one tooth on the camshaft gear). Get a good mechanic to rest the timing. Period.

Good morning House,

I am driving a 010 Toyota Camry. But have been noticing some issue as regards the Gear. Whenever put the Gear on D ( Drive ) it delays few 10 - 15seconds before responding or shifting to drive. But respond swiftly to other Gear levels. PRN ..

But I do noticed it respond a little bit we'll in the morning, when I'm just moving. After a while it starts again.



- I have changed the Gear Fluid to make sure it's up to gauge. Still having the same issue.

- I have asked few technicians here in Ibadan, some are saying it's electrical problems and issues like that. I went to be sure before engaging anyone to avoid any error, as Gear is expensive now.

I'll appreciate your help Sires)Mas. Thanks in advance

Scan the car. Specifically the transmission. Make sure anyone doing the scanning has a scanner that can pull out transmission codes.

I had a very similar issue with my former car (same Camry 010/011) last year. The problem my own was having was that whenever I put the car on D, it wouldn't drive unless I hit the accelerator. Ordinarily it should drive on its own once the gear goes to D but this one wasn't driving. Then I noticed that it jerks, this happens when I just start the car and engage the gear...

I changed gear box oil, oil filter, changed the exhaust, did everything I was told to do, yet there wasn't any visible improvement until I changed the gear box. That was when I had peace.

So I'll recommend you do the same, (get a new gear box) cos all these small small touches you're doing here and there would just keep draining your pocket and you wouldn't see any visible improvement in your car.

Oga Gazzuzz,

Abeg i get an mdx 013 with tpms and battery sensor light on. The tires are well inflated and the battery works fine. There is also a sound coming from the front driver wheel. Is there a good mechanic (that does home pickup) you can recommend? Or one around Magboro/Arepo axis

If you are his regular client , will not be an issue at all, but if it is someone new, well the combination suspicious.
