Seems pretty straightforward. Avoid using that gate. Park outside.

I cannot respond without having a service history. This vehicle was not used in the USA so common sense must apply not assumptions

Oga Gazzuzz, I encountered 5 hours traffic jam last week, infact at a point I spent over an hour without moving .. My AC was on as the weather wasn't friendly, at a point I discovered my car temperature was going high. I had to off the engine and AC, it normalized .. so later I realized one of my fan stopped working and the coolant reduced...
Now my fan has been restored, I discovered there's a little bubbling in the coolant once I start the Engine.. Pls, could this be burnt gasket or is there any possible cause ? Is it safe 5o use the car ? If it's top gasket, is 2AZ Engine safe when replaced with a new gasket? Thanks in advance

If you have consistent bubbles in radiator when cover is open, it is very likely you have a blown gasket.


Do you have a history of head gasket change?

There is this loud noise that comes from my car every morning I start the car..... it sound like a whistle noise and the engine too later after a min or two it will reduced and died off... called a mechanic he tried to get where the noise was coming from and said it’s probably from the compressor

If vehicle was European , I would have suggested the secondary air injection pump. But a Camry 2009 V6 or 4cylinder , does not have such function .

Sorry remote diagnosis not possible .
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Charisma01: 2:06pm On May 04, 2021
Good afternoon Oga GAZZUZZ, i have a Camry 2004.
When the car is at a stop the AC cools on low, but once taken to level 2 or 3 the ac refuses to cool until it the car is in motion.

Also the engine runs smoothly, but once ac is on the engine feels heavier and drags & the idle is unstable in stop position.
Pls what could be responsible?

Please, I need expert opinion on my kia optima gdi model 2013, I noticed recently whenever I'm in a motion, the car would do as if it want to stop but it won't, and I don't know what might be the cause
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by molybdenum0012: 5:02am On May 06, 2021
Please I need your expert opinion. I got a Toyota 2005 from thr US recently and discover that the 4 Tyres are too small. 195/60R15, so each time I drive pass a bumpy road it scratched the ground.

Now I want to make a choice between getting a new Tyres, but unsure about the right size to go for that will not present a problem to the car. 195/65R15 is the standard Tyre size written on the manual, but someone suggests I go for 205/70R15 to achieve more clearance ground. While some other says I should have my car lifted up and then put the standard size, that it will be okay.


What's your suggestion sir? Should I go for 195/65R15, the standard size or 205/70R15 the higher one.

Thanks

If you are an uber driver 195/70/15 or 205/70/15.

If you are not 195/65/15.

Don't ask me why, I will not respond

Thanks for this. My mechanic was telling me to get 195/65R15. Since I am using it for Uber, I will go for 195/70 as you have advised.

Thanks.

Good morning Gazzuzz, please what's the recommended engine oil to used for Kia optima Gdi 2013 ? I used to make use of total oil until my mechanic suggest the oil isn't so good, so I recently changed it to visco oil by forte oil

Good Morning, My Kia Rio 06 goes off after some minutes of driving, it starts and goes off again after some moments unless I leave it to really cool down. This started some weeks after I change the gear box. I got this code after scanning, P0708 & P1709. Kindly assist.

Faulty range switch, has nothing to do with the codes.
