oladele007: i have changed the alternator twice on the fault. i bought the same alternator still the same fault. i measure the volts is 12v when i start the car engine but when i raise the car engine the voltages drop gradually to 7 or less. thanks

oladele007: thanks Oga Ikenna i will try all what u said, the car in particular is not here with me, is in najia. what happened is that water pass through the air filter and knocked out the engine and the alternator when i pass through flood water in Ajah, so i changed the engine and the alternator in Ladipo in oshodi. the guys that work on the car in ladipo are the cause of the problem. i used the car more than 5 year in france with out any problems. pls advise the people that buy tokunbo cars that they should check the air filter tube maybe is up behind radiator or down behind the tire. if is down behind the tire water can easily pass through it into the engine and knock it out.

Re-post the query here, because am not treating Peugeot issues outside this thread anymore.

Hello all. I'm having a very big issue with my car.
I've been having problems with my spark plugs.

The symptoms: The car jerks and doesn't accelerate fast. Sometimes it acts like the fuel inside contains dirt/water.
Secondly, the engine check light would also come out.

I change spark plugs subsequently because of this issue.
I even went to the extent of getting spark plugs from Germany. But in less than 1 month, the problem have resumed again.
I don't really know what else to do. Pls, i need suggestions.

Thanks all

Ikenna351:

What made you think the culprit was the spark plugs? Were the spark plugs you bought your engine specification?

The first thing you should have done when the symptoms first started was to scan the car and take it from there, because a lot of failing/failed injection components can give such symptoms.

So, scan the car first and post the faults/error codes. By the way, what's your engine model?

Ikenna

Ikenna351:

Good morning.

Your friend need to tell you exactly what the problem is. An oil leakage from an Oil Pan can easily be fixed by replacing only the Oil pan, without bringing down the engine. Even a quack mechanic knows this. So am surprised that his mechanic has suggested replacement of an engine for such a minor issue that won't take more than an hour to fix.

But if truly the only issue with the car is oil pan leakage, then the mechanic must be a first degree clown.

An oil pan can easily be removed and another re-mounted neatly with the engine still mounted, from under the car. It can easily be done on a V6 , not to talk of an I4.

Ikenna.
