This Honda CR-V manifold surface got uneven causing air to leak out regardless of the number of packing used.

Can filing the surface solve this please?

Good morning house, i own a Lexus es350 2009, i was having a rough shift, so i took the car to my mechanic, and i explained to him the symptoms, without doing his proper checks, he told me i had to change the transmission control module(TCU) which is not even pocket friendly at all, i managed to purchase it, tokunbo. not until i test drive again and the fault is still there, it was a gear master that checked the car and told me i need to change the solenoids, which i did, and the faults where gone, now I'm left with an unused TCU. Please if anybody needs this, I'm selling cheap.

Don't ever use or recommend the stup!d mechanic that suggested you buy that thing. Just delete his number from your phone. The thing just dey vex me. I hate poor diagnosis. In fact, you should force him to buy it from you.

Try filling the uneven surface down with rough sandpaper and work your way down to a very smooth one till the surface is even.

my 2017 Hyndai Accent 1.4 liter AC began to have faults. I felt it was just change of gas but when I went to an AC mechanic he said it was Compressor and Condenser damage and I had to change it.
He searched for the compressor and brought on compressor he said was manual type and fitted to the car using what looked like an Iron made slab as the base to make it hold onto the compressor space. After he change the condenser. I paid N90k for the service. But after test driving I found out the car draggs and began to consume much more fuel. Looked like a heavier size compressor was used.
I return it and he said he would change the compressor. He now used a second hand one that he said was removed from a Corolla to fit into the space with another iron locally constructed place as a base. But till now, the vehicle drives different. It seems like it's carry a heavy load and the engine sounds havier when I accelerate.
Please what can be the cause. The car I brand new and I have never had any issues outside routine service and it's frustrating.
Please can any one assist. Does anyone know the cost of a direct replacement of the compressor and if there is another solution.
The original one was a n automatic compressor this is manual. Is there any difference?
PS- I stay in Port Harcourt.
Thank

you messed your car up by using a wrong mechanic. Try and get a competent mechanic that will install the original automatic compressor for your car (you can buy online and ship down)

How do I know the original. I saw lots online and got confused. Also, do you know any trusted mechanic.

Good day lovely people of this beautiful forum.
Pls I need una assistance with my car. It all started that whenever I start driving the car for the first 20-30mins if I don't rev the car high to like above 3000 the car will be jerking gently kind of, and if I check the rev meter too it will see the needle going up and down small small, but after driving for a while it will stop and the car will move very well. Since this is not a major issue I kept using it that way till I will have time to visit the mech not until few days ago that while I was going back him in the night the car stops accelerating, like I press the throttle but it will not respond all I am hearing is a clicking sound under the carpet of the seat beside the driver in front. Once i press acceleration and the car want to respond I will just hear the click sound and the car will not respond to me again, then I off the engine and light then start it again this time the acceleration just respond a little above the 1000 rev on the meter then the car start to move small small till I got home that night. The following morning the car drives like nothing happened to it the previous night but I took it to my mech who said I should go and scan it, which I did and the person said something that one wire has cut somewhere or something and he fix it the check engine light on the dashboard went off and the car temp meter that doesn't work before start to work. Also the fan start to work in auto mode because before when I on the engine the fan will start immediately, but now the fan might not start for the first 30-1hr of driving and when it start it will be working in low speed (don't know if it is normal )though no overheating .
Now the problem is I am not sure what he fix is what is affecting the gear problem and the issues I face the other night while going home. And I don't want it to happen like that again before I fix the issue permanently which is why I want to seek the opinion of car gurus on this platform. Thanks in anticipation for your input.
Also I use to hear like a thud sound whenever I engage D or R
The car is nissan sunny 2011
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Yktv: 3:46pm On Jun 12, 2022
Gazzuzz good afternoon sir

The speedometer of my lexus es350 2007 suddenly stopped working like that.

I noticed it after:

My mechanic fixed my washer fluid issue and replaced my headlamps.

I also reset the "oil maintenance required" error with a tutorial from YouTube (after routine maintenance was done)

Could this be why? If not, what are the possible causes of speedometer not working and possibly how much would it cost to repair or replace?

Other sections of my dashboard are working fine btw.

Other professors in the house, your opinions are needed please.

The Lexus IS sedan is a car you’ve definitely either seen around or you own but there are different trim levels and today, I talked about the most common two;

Nice channel you got there. Ride on babe. But why not leave things open and not try to make it appear like your videos are made for Nigerians alone? I think your contents are universal.

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Kieseni: 1:14pm On Jun 13, 2022
I changed the ignition coils already. The misfiring has stopped. But the steering is still stiff
mashnino:


with respect to the misfiring, the error code is there.

Two of your ignition coils are bad (D and F)

So you probably have to change them. If you have money sha just change every thing.

For the steering, i will allow my oga at the top assist with that one

Oga Gazzuzz, please i need your help here on my 2005 Toyota Camry (Big daddy). I noticed my car drags when i engage the transmission but later picks when the vehicle gains momentum. The draggy movement repeat itself anytime i want to start moving. I diagnosed and the error code i got was P2770(Torque converter clutch solenoid circuit high). After this, i took the vehicle to my mechanic who advised we should change the transmission fluid and filter which we did. It worked well for a day and the stalling started again. Kindly advise Sir.

One more question. The tubes I pointed to in the picture, are they supposed to be sucking in air? They go to the EGR modulator.
Thanks boss

Those are vacuum lines. They have multiple uses, but when not in use, better to block them off if not they could cause introduction of unmetered into the system.

Two possibilities.

The engine ecu is not aware of the new load.

The engine is weak and low on compression.

Good Evening Gazzuz

Please I got the following issues with my FX 45 ..
I got it last year..
a. Once I start it (first time) it starts ok with cool sound. But if I off it and then restart it again, I must kick the throttle to keep it running or it goes off by itself

b. I took it to my village, a journey of 1 hour, I noticed that it over-heated ..I have to allow it to cool down before driving that day.

C. On my way to the village, i noticed that the movement was sluggish,i even noticed that the the gear display monitor on the dashboard was blink with no display but after leaving it for 20mins...it will show again with the movement moving well..

D. The tyre wasn't good because it was shaking But I bought two new tyres.


Funny enough, since that experience during last year Christmas ,I packed it in my house in the village .

Though I later scanned it with the details below

Hello guys

Please I drive a Camry 2008 with 2az engine
Due to the rising fuel price I went and bought a catalytic converter(indomie) and put in the car

I have notice no reasonable fuel efficiency but the car jerks while accelerating and stutter

Can the indomie cause this please?
