I am currently feeling the heat o. Bros, please if I may ask...I was very much aware when you ordered your FX45 from Fhemmmy. How has the maintenance been since then? I would like to hear your experience please. Thanks

To be truthful that car dey drink fuel if you are a rough driver,I serviced that car in march 2013 with Mobil 1 and I just serviced it again this December after about 7km.

Apart from buying of fuel the only problem I 've gotten so far is the Power Steering Hose which started leaking since October, I tried fixing it myself but its still leaking.My only problem is that I don't want to encounter other problems when changing the hose,you know our naija mechanics now.

Ogas in the house, kindly help me with a little piece of advice. I ran a scan on my Infiniti Fx 35 and it returned the code P1211 (ABS/TCU control unit) and P0442 (Small leak detected). Please where do I go from here? I have spent house studying the vehicle manual but got no helpful info. I will appreciate any info. Thanks

Nothing terribly serious. For the P1211, it's your ABS control unit that is probably at fault. I use probably because a weak battery or low brake fluid could trigger off ABS codes.This code will not trigger-off your SES light in fact. The light came on because of the P0442. This relates to the evap canister and is vacuum related. Yes, there's a leak along the line and you want to start by making sure that your fuel filler cap/lid is good and secure. You can then erase the light and watch if it'll reappear. Btw, what year is your FX?

OK Guys, so I had an interesting experience with my 2005 FX35 yesterday. Was driving on 3MB at night and all of a sudden the car could not accelerate anymore, checked the dash board and noticed the dash board lights were on and the brakes as well as steering started getting hard. I knew the car has just gone off. I managed to navigate to the edge of the bridge and switched off the car. Started the engine and the car started but went off immediately. Tried doing it again but this time around pressing the accelerator to rev the engine in order to stop it from going off again but the engine wont rev and car died.

I Then called my mechanic and described what happened and he told me to check the filter in my airflow meter to confirm if it was torn and alas it was torn and worn out. Was told to remove the filter and start the car and to my greatest surprise everything was back in order and car moved fine. Drove it home with no issues after removing the torn filter. Had to go get a replacement filter this morning.

Just to share this piece with my Infiniti FX users, never knew a torn filter would cause a car to behave like this way.

Yes, all's well that ends well. Filter in airflow meter? What filter is that. Would you mean the common air filter? If so, beats me how you neglected it for so long to get to such state of dilapidation.

Am referring to the common air filter.

It will even be of benefit to the SUV. Its gonna prevent mixing of atf and coolant fluid which will ruin the transmission. That vehicle had a class action law suit for that defect and one way to prevent such damage is radiator bypass.

The atf is Nissan CVT-NS2. Available at Ladipo. As for engine oil, nothing wrong with the reputable brands (Mobil, Total, etc) in the respective filling stations. Better still contact Nissparts.

please how much is fuel pump for nissan Almera 03 liftback

its hard to disagree with you but i still prefer it I spent like 300k changing some parts in december which led me to spending another 100k in january for some camshaft sensors... but the good thing is you change it once and you forget working on your car for another 2 or 3yrs..... I love my ride and I ensure I give it what it needs to keep me out of my house till 3/4am if you know what I mean....

222Martins:

My brother, Fx maintenance na die o. This motor na confirm big man big problem.

Sure you're not exaggerating now? How many cam sensors are on your FX35... a 3.5litre engine!

@costee my car has 3 cam shaft sensors and all was replaced..... the service engine light just came up again guess it's sensing something again.... I think its high time I get myself a scanner...

You have two cam sensors and a crank sensor. Except you've been ripped off the most you'd get for the three is 45k. As for getting a scan tool, that's becoming a late realisation

@costee the only reason i like you so much is because you advise me with matured insults.... Oya package ur scanner & send to me make i dey use or u tell me which one to buy asap....

Thanks for always being there abstractly.

Easy enough. Let me know when you're ready. Though usually more expensive, I'd advise one that can scan the 4 main modules: engine, transmission, abs, and srs.

@costee which brand and what spec bro??

Autel. The MaxiDiag Elite MD701 is for Japanese vehicles; While MaxiDiag Elite MD802 covers all makes. The MD701 should be in the range 40-50k. Could be slightly less, depending on source.

We go wash your recovery o. Try Konga, you might find less expensive ones there. Or in the alternative try me; because you're a brother NLer, I'll charge 4.999k (instead of 5k) for every consultation.

@ the Guru's in the house.

I noticed some changes with my FX45, when accelerating and I step on the brakes, when I step hard on the accelerator again it takes about a second before it moves again, what could be the reason for this?

The Service Engine Soon light came on today for the first time too, I think its time to scan the car now.

Does anyone know a good Infiniti Auto Shop in Port harcourt?

Please I need help. I use 2001 Infiniti QX4. The exhaust is bringing out white smoke and burning oil. When I first noticed it, I was advised to change the oil. I changed to Milemaster 5W 30. Smoking stopped. Recently the smoke has started again. This is mainly in the morning. Apart from this the engine runs fine. My mechanic said I may need to ring the engine. Somebody else said I will have to replace the engine as it can not be ringed Another person said it may be a sensor problem. I will appreciate your advice please.

Does the smoking only show up in the mornings and after being parked for a few hours?

I was able to scan at Eliozu Flyover before Oando.

P0455-Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected.(Large Leak)

Gooday pals,anyone has an idea of the cost of getting a nissan turbine revolution sensor and where to get it.will be glad for reasonable response

Yes. The smoke is mainly in the morning and after being parked for few hours. Comes out when the accelerator is depressed

Are you in Lagos?

Hi everyone. I use a 2004 Nissan Murano SE AWD. Please I would like to know the right coolant to use for my car and the right measurement. I have been using just water for the car ever since I bought it which I know is not good and dangerous. Please advise what coolant type, or can I buy just any coolant in the market?

Thanks
