@Gazzuz and everyone, I have an issue with my car. My car battery runs down and doesn't charge properly. I have taken it for checks with the rewire vendor and he assured me that the alternator is working fine after he ran a few manual checks on it.. He suggested the battery might be bad so I replaced the battery last week, however the battery is down already. Kick starter had an issue and I replaced it already. What could be the issue please.

Hello bro. I'm having the same issue. Have you sorted it out?

She is making a good choice... I will advice young ladies to go for 3 cars..1 Matrix 2. Honda Element 3.Honda Civic.. The Element is cheap and will serve also when you need to move stuffs. the back seat is for 2 against normal 3 in other cars... But you will have peace of mind from the thieves removing parts from Corolla and Matrix.... Let the person get a well inspected Element by a competent Mechanic and also follow the Manufacturers laid down rules about the oils and parts

Hi House,
I scanned my car today and my TP Sensor showed 12.9% on idle. Does this mean that this sensor is faulty because i read online that it shouldn't be more than 5% at idle.
Car is Hyundai Elantra 2008.
PS. I get rough idling at startup for about 20 seconds then engine stabilizes.
Oga gazzuzz nurey pls help.

Hi Gazz

Recently got a 2015 accord and it has 0w-20 as it recommended engine oil.

However, i have been unable to locate this oil in all major filling stations in Lagos. Can i use an alternative? If yes, which one?

Mileage is high, please use 0w40 or 5w40 to minimise oil burn.

Pls gazzus, I just got a tokunbo Toyota Corolla 2009 with 75k Milleage....real millage coz I got the car myself from America.
I noticed a clinking/grinding sound on starting the car whenever it is cool or not used for some hours.
The sounds lasts about a few seconds and disappears and does not come up if the car is started again immediately. But when the car rests a lil about 30mins to 1hr, it appears again on starting the car.
What could be the problem pls?

I recently noticed some sound when shifting gear in my Toyota Camry 2009 and also becomes a little hard, I went to my mechanic to check it he said I need to top the ATF.
Will it be advisable to top it or just to drain everything out and fill it with new ATF
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by henrygale(m): 7:05am On Jun 19, 2019
Could it be the vtc actuator as the car didn't show any check engine light? Asking coz I learnt that the vtc actuator is a sensor like stuff, I located it, just afraid if tampering with it especially when it didn't display a check engine light wch could come up from a bad sensor.

It looses oil pressure when parked. It will not throw a code.
