MrReeseG:Fix the power steering pressure switch issue I told you about and you should have improved performance. The squealing noise could be from your brake pads or any metal parts around the pads rubbing against the disk. 1 Like |

abiolag:You don't detect leaks with your bare ears. You need to pull vacuum from each individual components (lines, condenser, compressor, and evaporator) to know where the leak is coming from. |

honsule:Change that brake pipe or hose on the side that is always hot,if that pipe is having blockage it can hinder brake fluid from returning back when you depress your feet from the brake pedal thereby making it hard for the brake caliper piston not to return back as fast as it should. Talking from experience,that thing can be very frustrating,i went through this same process. Stop using that particular mechanic,look for mechanics that specialize only on brakes,they call them brake masters. Don't allow anybody to make you spend money anyhow again,change that pipe,it's not more than 1500,and please buy new one. |

MrReeseG:Check the hub bearing to know if there is still grease inside,sometimes when the grease lubricating it washes away it starts causing friction against each other. That may be the culprit of that noise,are you on the island in Lagos let me help you check it? 1 Like |

Joeadeoye2:Hello bro, any car owner who doesn't have a very good mechanic will suffer the problem you have now at least once in his lifetime, I suffered it myself and after going from one shop to another spending money on things that were never faulty (fuel pump, spark plugs, ignition coils and sensors) and paying many mechanics for my car problem they couldn't solve I was more than frustrated, I left it for weeks and then even people envious of me started talking shit because they were happy my car was grounded lol, trust me your neighbors don't want your car running good, I got pissed and decided to keep spending money trying every mechanic I see but wouldn't let them touch any vital part like my engine or transmission. One day I met a mechanic I showed him scan results (I scan tire lol more than 5 places) he then said he still had to scan my vehicle, so I reluctantly let him, he saw the usual codes, one for bypassing the fan, Tpms, abs and codes that would never make a car jerk before shutting off. If I am correct, your car would work fine when cold and shortly after its gotten warmed up it stutters just once like it's been deprived of fuel and then few seconds after the engine goes off, sometimes it starts back up again only to repeat within a very short distance and sometimes it doesn't start back up until you have left it to sit for a while, if this is the exact problem you have, I'm not a mechanic I'm just sharing my experience, this is what the mechanic who finally solved the problem did, I watched him open my fusebox, he took out each and every fuse and inspected it, put them back In position very tightly, replaced any bad fuse and then swapped my fuel pump relay for another relay doing something else in the vehicle(relays were the same), then he checked wires coming from my crankshaft position sensor (someone had interchanged them wrongly, mistakenly maybe, he corrected that) and started up the car, and that's the end of the story. Due to the experience I have had in the past with many mechanics on the same issue, I couldn't believe issue was solved, I told him I'll see how it goes, I've driven more than 200 miles since the repair and engine never stuttered or went off, I was lucky to find that mechanic, tell your mechanic to check the things I've mentioned, you can also check the fuses yourself, it can be very frustrating, I wished I had a mechanical problem lol, I was ready to buy any part, electrical issue fit make you swear say you no go ever own car for your life, the sensors I bought are home with me, useless, the third electrician who changed my fuel pump I went back to him to pick the old one up he had already sold it lol. So, If your issue is just what I had, you do not have a mechanical issue, your issue is electrical, I say again, I'm not a mechanic, this is an experience I had, good luck. |

My Camry 2007 dries up oil within 3 weeks. Initially, oil stays in my car for 3 months but since past 1 year now, it dries up too quick. I have tried normal Mobil blue cover, I have semi synthetic and just on the 15th of last month, I decided to go for Mobil 1 and now it’s already below the minimum calibration. Please what called be the problem and can it be fixed? |

Babatundehy:That fuse thing is actually what my friend went through last week,he almost gave up after spending alot of money,then one electrician came and worked on the fuse box,afterwards the car started and no issues till today. He later told my friend to change the fuse box. Electrical fault will make you think your village people are after your life. 1 Like 1 Share |

Emekayoung: Thanks. I was thinking it was the flex hose & pipe too but it wasn't. I finally changed mechanic. I almost bought another Caliper, but the mechanic opened the Caliper and discover the rubber inside was oversized/bad, doesn't allow it to move freely. I gave him 1k to buy just another rubber and everything is very okay now. So, after all, the problem is still Caliper. |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by honsule(m): 10:20pm On Feb 10 |
jceesquare: Yes o. Let him rebuild his engine. I did mine the first time, the mechanic is not a specialist at all within 6months oil keep drying up like no man business. Expensive fully synthetic oil for that matter. (he even advised me to use another oil and see) I went to a different mechanic to rebuid the engine. After driving for like 5months with 5,000 mileage. I changed the oil, still very much intact |
