greggng:IF you have experience with car you should know you can be a victim too. I bought mine and I did all verification you can think of. Everything was green, no issue. I did two VIN check, one with picture and the other without. Nothing was tampered with. I used Engine Scanner to check and nothing showed (Didn't know this could be blocked), a mechanic verified before payment was made. But what you don't know is that the issues I have experienced is twice worst than what Mskrisx is currently experiencing. 2 Likes |

mrphysics:You’ve only fixed the symptoms not the cause, all the above steps will kill your engine faster. There’s an optimum temperature the engine is meant to operate at, and you are obviously running it below it. The radiator coolant, fan and thermostat are working together to ensure it stays at that range. Buying new gasket doesn’t solve overheating issues. Gasket got damaged cos engine overheated hence you are to find what actually caused the overheating before replacing gasket. 2 Likes |

Forget about that mechanic. Going with a mechanic to buy cars these days doesn't mean they will get you a good car. Contact Gazzuzz or Radautoworks depending on the divide of Lagos State you re. Mskrisx: 1 Like |

Mskrisx: Omo! It's a poor man that sees a car as an achievement. Having a car is a necessity but when you car is driving nuts, you should probably park it somewhere and order Uber or bolt. You're saucy sha. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Mskrisx:oga go and wash ur radiator and open the vents if u change the gasket without doing this..it will burn again.there is nothing wrong with ur car..also check the thermostat.. if need be remove it completely |
Re: My Car Is Killing Me. Please Help Me Before It Finishes Me. by mrphysics(m): 10:01am On Sep 08, 2021 |
kokanepyramid:Bro, I have had to learn it the had way. The temperature should be at the middle. Mine is always at the one close to the middle gauge reading. Sometimes it goes to the middle but return towards cold. It's much better than getting high. And the engine is built to be strong, so I don't care. Alot of persons did this and have been driving their car for a long time. The problem I believe hasn't been found but I am thinking that the thermostat fails to open when the engine is hot. From my experience in my studies, it could take 10 seconds to move from the middle to high or even less. I have experienced same. So it's better the water is warm than hot. Changing gasket is not something you should be repeating. They were coming to the airport to pick me when the gasket burnt on the road. My first entrance into the car was when it was being towed. So I have experienced bad stuff but I will overcome it. I plan on selling it but towards the end of the year. I can't spend 4m+ on a car only to be having issues upon issues. |

nosiebaba:All these yarns are hogwash your Kazeem tells you. I’ve owned a BMW 325XI for 5 years and a Honda Accord for 3 years I’ve never bypassed anything in my cooling system. I change my oil once a year( I use synthetic oil) and my cars are still delivering. Never had a breakdown other than that related to a weak battery. My cars have never slept in mechanic workshop for whatever reasons and I use them in Lagos traffic and travel interstate sometimes. 2 Likes |

kokanepyramid: I saw you added something new. I have responded in my earlier quote to you. I didn't just recommend changing Gasket. In my case, everything was fine. Water wasn't leaking rather, I guess, it evaporates when hot. Hoses are good, pump working just fine. But after changing to double cell, and removing the thermostat, everything seem good for now. But the wahala is just too much for a good and clean car as mine. |
