GAZZUZZ:


Your engine has a loss in compression.

Timing might be off too, but the fact that plugs are wet with water is badddd for the nation.



One thing you should understand is the paint marks on the chain should be usedto set timing.

Good luck sir.

Thanks, the plugs werent wet with water. they were wet with fuel...Also I gave the mechanic this diagram and he kept arguing that the timing has to be matched to other marks which he claims are on the manifold rather than the chain. I also showed him the paint marks on the chain. He argued that the chain marks were yellow instead of blue, and that the lower mark was not there...

Pls, what can possibly be the problem? My honda baby boy(2001) vibrates violently either early in the morning while starting it or whenever the engine is not in use for some hrs. It vibrates too much and does not stop until after few minutes or when I press the throttle. After this, it becomes normal and that's when i can drive. I need help. pls.

Hi Mr Gazzuzz. Please what could be the cause of engine movement/vibration during gear change in a 2010 Toyota camry. I am told that the engine mountings are the culprits and should be changed to correct the anomaly. Should the engine mount be the culprit in fact, what estimates should one look forward to for the job?

Regards.

Please what is wrong with my corolla. Everytime I break in traffic and I want to move again, when I step on the accelerator the car will delay for a bit and rev as if it is in neutral and Jerk slightly then drive normal. The car is auto and I've never changed transmission bought it toks for over a year without issues. This just started last month.

Plz what is wrong with my Nissan Pathfinder 2003. I can't get it beyond a speed of 120. once it gets there, it begins to sound noisy. I took for repairs and was told they changed a sensor and it stayed behaving well but I went out of town on Saturday and noticed the problem has started again. What should I do?

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Xiphoid: 12:01am On Jul 30, 2015
Any ideas where one can obtain the VW's G12 coolant? I want to top the coolant in my passat, I have searched everywhere and practically all the online stores in Nigeria that I'm aware of but I cldnt find it. Or is there any other coolant safe for use in VW in it place? even if I have to drain the one there to avoid mixing. I have searched online but the results have only put the fear of God in me as they all seem to suggest nothing else can/shld be used in VW's cooling system. Nawa o. Advice from car professionals will be appreciated. Thanks

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by abbeYhart(m): 10:00pm On Aug 02, 2015
Visually inspect all the wiring and connectors in the circuit, you can also check for continuity in the circuit wiring, check the operation (voltage) of the camshaft position sensor, Replace the camshaft position sensor as required, check the crankshaft position circuit as well, Replace circuit wiring and/or connectors. Diagnose/replace the PCM as required. One of all this will sort out the problem. You can DIY or visit GAZZUZZ.

Good Day Gauzzman!

A very good job u re doing here. Please kindly assist me with a problem am having with my Toyota Camry. I noticed of recent that the brake hydraulic fluid goes down than usual. I have to refill it every now and then ( like say every 9 days) . What could be the problem?

Thanks.
