please house I am using an automatic transmission car I recently notice that the moment the engine is working for about an hour the gear begins to vibrate and won't enter reverse until I park the car for about 2-3 hrs.
I want gurus in the house to advice me on what to do or does it mean the gear is developing problem.
i will first advice you to take the car for transmission diagnosis before doing try and error work

I use a kia rio 2012 manual transmission but just yesterday the gear starts to make some funny sounds and vibrates like it wants to move back to neutral whenever i shift to gear 3 on the run. Please any advice on this?
you need to first have a transmission diagnosis if you are around lagos bring your car to LTV in Ikeja @ Automedics

[quote author=Franknerd post=71295714]Hello house, I noticed a Nissan frontier, I started using recently from office was consuming more fuel than usual. I took it to a mechanic yesterday and he told me that d catalyst was removed hence d reason for d high consumption of fuel.
He told to buy catalyst and that any Nissan catalyst can work on d vehicle.
Pls, gurus in the house how true is that statement and wat is the cost and where can I get a good Nissan catalyst?
Thanks[ catalyst is one of those thing that can cause excess fuel consumption and have you have your vehicle checked by another mechanic to verify wan he said

Hi good morning everyone. I drive a Toyota Camry 2004. Recently, the ac compressor is struggling to turn. And after blowing cool air for like 10min, hot air follows immediately and it stays that way till the next day. Note, the ac switch button light doesn't blink. Pls help I'm opened to suggestion.
first diagnosis the ac system @ Automedics Ikeja.
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by Kristolite: 9:30pm On Sep 23, 2018
Thanks a lot @ CarMecx. I will do that on Monday.

Possible cause.

Pls be careful if the technician want to improvise the electrical system.

Thanks for this, its quite informative.

In addition to the P0420 error code, there was also an Engine misfire code which I guess is responsible for the P0420 error code.

Now you are talking, that P0420 code rarely comes up alone.

My advice:

Address the other codes first, clear the codes and drive the car, lets see what happens. Catalysts don't just fail, something made it fail.

You transmission is probably over heating or packing up. Get it scanned to know whats happening exactly. Could be problem with the clutch switches too. Which ATF have u been using inside it?

I have done a check on my car (Toyota Camry) and really, the compresor is badly damaged on the inside. I was told the oil got dried up. I also took it to another electrician @ Ladipo who looked at it and said the same thing. The compressor for my car cost btw 37k to 40k but was given an option of getting a Peugeot's own with the same sitting though less expensive. I hope to get it done by tomorrow, I don't really have that cash and I'm considering option B, which I have no knowledge of since it's less expensive. So pls i need advice, thanks.

I will advice you save your money when you have enough cash,fix the AC,the Peugeot compressor capacity is too much for your engine.
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by Kristolite: 6:16am On Sep 27, 2018
Wow! I didn't know that. And it's a bit smaller than the Camry. Thanks any way. I will save up for the Camry compressor.

Hello guys, I need help for my Honda accord 2003 model(EOD) v6.
Last week Thursday on my way from work, I started hearing a knocking sound, wch was checked out and I was told it was the crankshaft. They changed the crankshaft,the car started but then the engine pushes out water from the radiator immediately it is started. They changed the gasket already and the problem persists.
Once the car is started it pushes out water from the radiator immediately. What could be the problem pls Coz my mechanic seems not to know what to do next.

We decided to go with my wife to see Rome.
We found an excellent car rental service Rental24H, there are any categories of cars.
But we liked the cabriolet, he brightened up our rest and travel as a whole.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaa

we have said several times fuel consumption isn't calculated by location to location but distance travelled,condition of the road and driver driving habit. Also if your check engine light is on scan your ride and fix impending codes

No. Starts 'easily-well'.
Water pump was checked and is intact.
Washed the radiator. Problem persists. This evening, water in the radiator keep going down like the next minute when u top it.
And the mechanic while testing it noticed that water has mixed with engine oil now and water seeping out of the exhaust pipes!

like I said gasket job wasn't done well. you already stated 2 symptoms
1. milky watery engine oil
2. water escaping in exhaust.

why you don't have a hard start I don't know. Oya let him redo the gasket this time following the recommended procedure and utilising OEM gasket
