Dear house please i need the attention of car guru here,

My Kia Cerato 08 automatic model has issue with packing light after the Electrician (rewire) worked on it and i changed the Oil and oil filter it didn't start but it shocked and bring fuel to the nozzle the check engine still indicate properly but while running it it wont start. the rewire i invited from Uber scanned it and discovered no fault but he is suggesting we get a new brain box.

My question are:

Good morning, I jus changed my radiator from single to a new double cell due to leakage from the single cell radiator.
Thermostat is still intact and single fan inclusive(not connected directly) After driving the car on Saturday, Sunday morning I checked the water level in the radiator and saw the water is low, so I opened the coolant plastic and saw that the water there has overfilled more than the FULL level its meant to attain, which means that the excess of the water in the coolant plastic is meant to go back into the radiator when engine is cool and it didn't. Does that mean the car would likely overheat. Would love to hear your advise pls....When I called the mech, he said I would need to remove thermostat and connect far directly which am against.The car is a year old and it's a corolla 05 model..would love your inputs so as to take necessary precaution against the unforseen.
Have you resolved this issue? Hope you didn't go the route of removing thermostat and running fan direct.

Issue resolved, didn't do anything, guess the coolant was overfilled pass the level it's meant to reach so I reduced it a lil and it's been working perfectly now

I have this Toyota camry big daddy, the engine oil light was blinking intermittently and the culprit was narrowed down to oil pump and it was changed in January. Last month it started again and a new pump was bought but same problem persist.

Please is there anything that may cause the pumps to fail or not to work. What can be done to rectify this problem.

N:B we use the recommended 5w30 synthetic oil.
.. Okay Sir. I Would also Like Too Ask You Some Questions Sir..

Before Changing The Oil Pump. Is There Any Issue On The Engine. If Know Sir. And after You Change The Oil Pump. Is There Any Fault On The Engine Like Did you Notice Any Physical Symptoms. Sir. If. No.

The Engine Sound Fine.

The Engine Moves And Idle Properly. And There Have Not Done Any Engine Work On Your Vehicle Before. And Also I don't really Know Maybe If You Bought it Toks Or Nigeria Used. Also Sir..

if You are sure of all This Sir.. It Might Just Be The Issue Of a Bad Oil Switch Or A dirt is interrupting it from working sir..

but first let be sure of all What I text hear.



Before You Change The Oil Pump Did You Run A Scan On The Car. Sir. If Not Please Go Run A Computerized Scan It Compulsory. And After That Let Know Which Fault Code is On The Engine System. That Will give us.. easy access too go with providing solution too the problem sir..

Thanks.

You probably replaced with a defective pump. Check fuel pressure. Replace if below 44psi

Buying toks hub is very much better but one must be sure it's not the hub they put bearing in that they sell to one as tokunbo
