Is there any place in lagos where they specialize in fixing Nissan vehicles only? My Nissan pathfinder has leg issues. It makes noise anytime am driving in rough road. So many mechanics has worked on it but the problem still persist. Someone should help with a link pls. Thanks

Please can I use this to top up my 09 civic

IamOguamalam:


Thatz good. Can you go on Google to check reviews.

Then take an extra step to try it on a dying engine!

Thanks... Nano Energizer WORKS and the results are mind blowing

Ok I will do

What oil was in your engine before?
And this 20w50 which is much higher than the required spec

As a naija used or foreign used?

Recommended is 5W20 or at best 5W30 fully synthetic

The engine was just serviced about a week before I took possession of it, and the oil texture and color is still as good as new

Boss it's better you just drain and just start with the recommended to save you issue of the heart.

Good day, I have been busy to update on some issues dealt with at workshop for a while now.


I will be discussing more on a particular code that is associated with Nissan Rogue 2008 P1143.

P1143 - Steering Angle Sensor Circuit

What is Steering Angle Sensor?

The steering angle sensor (SAS) is a critical part of the VDC ( Vehicle Dynamic Control )system that measures the steering wheel position angle and rate of turn. The cluster always has more than one steering position sensor for redundancy and to confirm data.

VDC comprises of components Such as an electronic steering angle sensor, a wheel sensor, a lateral acceleration sensor, a yaw rate sensor, and a power controller made it possible to develop a vehicle stability system.


Back to my issue, the owner complained about the car refusing to pick up speed from start, until the VDC light kicks in. After scanning the SAS was given as P1143.

After careful comprehensive diagnosis it was discovered that the Steering Angle Sensor will be replace and reset.
After replacing the SAS, the VDC light was still coming on and still holding the tyre down.

I have to run simulation on axle stand by putting the car in drive when both front wheel are suspended. I discover the brake caliper was the culprit and was replaced. And the stiffness at start was not coming up again.

Now the light refuse to go off, I run another scenarios before we went ahead to change the Anti Lock Brake System Module.
And that was all.

Blackbishop:
Good day, I

Can't find you number on your profile.
My civic 07 has these codes ;
p2647
p0404.

Is it advisable to buy new original bearing to put inside hub than buying a tokunbo hub? Car is a 2005 corolla, the more I accelerate, the more the humming sound increases.

Boss I don't put bearing but i go for new one. Because most tokunbo at ladipo na wash. Just be careful with them at ladipo

What Causes Spark Plugs to Wear Out?


Without operational spark plugs, your engine won’t run. If even just one plug were to fail, the change in functionality would be very noticeable. Your engine would MISFIRE.
Spark plugs do wear out over time, although the actual lifespan varies depending on the type of plug in question, the condition of your engine, and your driving habits.

Wear factors for spark plugs

There are several factors that play a role in spark plug health,i the most common reason for them to wear out is that they’re just old. To understand this, you need to know a bit more about how spark plugs work

When your alternator generates electricity, it is sent through the ignition system, down the spark plug wires, and to each individual spark plug. The plugs then create electrical arcs at the electrodes (the small metal cylinders protruding from the bottoms of the plugs). Each time a plug fires, a minute amount of metal is removed from the electrode. This shortens the electrode, and requires more and more electricity to create the arc necessary to fire the cylinder. Eventually, the electrode will be so worn that it won’t arc at all.

This is what happens in a normal, properly maintained engine. There are other factors that can reduce plug life (all spark plugs eventually wear out; it’s just a question of when).

Overheating Damage: Overheating spark plugs can cause the electrode to wear faster. Pre-ignition from an improperly timed engine can cause this, as can an incorrect air to fuel ratio.

Oil Contamination: If oil seeps onto the spark plug, it will foul the tip. This creates damage and additional wear (oil seeping into the combustion chamber is something that happens over time as seals begin to fail).

Carbon: Carbon buildup on the tip can also cause premature failure. This can happen due to dirty injectors, a clogged air filter and many other reasons.

As you can see, there are a number of different factors that affect when your spark plugs will fail, and just how much use you’ll get out of them

Pls Engineers, I have Pontiac 2009 that is consuming fuel a lot, its a tokunbo SUV....My mechanic said there is no Indomie (Catalysts) in the exhaust, how do i confirm this? How many suppose be in an SUV? and if the indomis is needed what is the price? will it solve the fuel consumption issue?

Thanks

Boss first and foremost scan the car, if the catalyst is missing scanner will point to it or if damaged.

Then again many components causes fuel consumption to go crazy, scanning will save you alot of stress

Is that what Ope got?

Good day. I am having serious issues with my car's acceleration. It has been in and out if the mechanics but it seems they don't know what to do. They cleaned and changed the fuel nozzle, etc but it's not solving any of the issues. Just yesterday, it got completely worse, the car went completely off twice while the ignition was still on, once was when I was coming down a bridge. The car misfires, it doesn't accelerate when it is supposed to and sometimes, when I switch on the ignition, it just raises it self without me placing my leg on the throttle. When it does this and I go ahead to drive the car, the brakes stops working. This has put me in danger, and I have resolved not to drive the car anymore till it gets resolved. Please, I need your help, I am based in Lagos.
