larrixauto2017:
hello sir go to an auto workshop that has a proffesional scanner to help you diagnose the car. After diagnosing they
will will give the scan result then post the result for clear identification. And again what year is your car? In case the car computer (ecu) is not communicating with the scan tool or the scan tool is not powering up then we need to run a test...

the ecu is working. I need to visit another workshop for the diagnosis.

Hello sir my question is that did the timing belt is properly set? If yes then check out for the belt quality. And next when changing the belt change the component like the. Belt guide, belt tensioner and some other part in the timing component. Thank you

Hello sir. The ABS Light which your car is displaying mean ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. Which monitor the braking system of your car. So if there is any fault with the brake system the ecu will on the light to tell the driver that there is a problem. Same thing goes to the airbag but the airbag provide a protection in a collision event. My Advice now is to go and get the car scan. Befor it get worst thank you

please gurus in the house i need a response asap.[/quote] Hello sir about your car consuming fuel. They are a lot of things that can make it consume but these are part of it > 1) Did you have a catlyst Converter on your car 2) is The oxygen sensor working 3) Is your car fan runing in first ignition 4) Do a tune up for the engine for better performance. And again go and get it scan for further info of what is happening to your car.
But for the > p0325 this means (knock sensor 1 circuit malfunction bank 1 this sensor is use to dectect a knock sensing on the enging and also if the exploding of air/fuel mixture that deliver less power which can damage the engine. But if you want to diagnose anything about this visit the auto workshop. Thank you

Hello sir. Hyundai sonata is good car but the part are expensive and availaible. It is compare with altima because of the CVT Transmission (continuous variable transmission) which is a good transmission and should be maintaine by a good technicician. A CVT Transmission are transmission that shift the gears without the attention of the driver which mean they are smooth drive transmission. Thank you

hello sir getting honda civic will required a maintainance in which may be some expensive and inconvinient. For me i will not advice a first time car user to go get civic cause of the complaint lay by customers. The major complain are.
1) airbag failure due to bad occupant detection sensor and also if a replace airbag is not properly fit it might deploy unknowingly.
2) brake failure. Due to the noisy sustpension part and exesecive wear of the brake component.
3) outside paint/interior desing. Will be a cracking spot and became ugly and causes a low 2nd hand value when getting it
4) steering vibration. Causes by suspension part expeciall brake disc.
And also they recall on the airbag system and brake system.
thankyou
