How much is the instrument cluster please and cost of sending it to Arepo, just after the OPIC long bridge?

@Luvinhubby

Tolutopsy:


Is there a way I can check this?

Also, Is this something I can do myself and which refrigerant would you recommend.

Thanks

nas00:


You can check by connecting a manifold gauge set to the a/c circuit 'H' and 'L' ports accordingly. Low side pressure of less than 40psi and high side pressure less than 100psi when a/c running is suggestive of low refrigerant.

But from what you have already observed, it is highly likely the problem is low refrigerant, which you can easily fix by:

1) Checking for leaks and sealing them
2) Drain entire system and pull vacuum
3) Refill with r134a

Tolutopsy:
Thank you boss... This is kinda overwhelming, but I will do some Googling and YouTubing along side your recommendations and steps

nas00:


Okay, I gerrit.

The most likely cause of your a/c symptom is low refrigerant. You may simply refill your refrigerant and observe. You should regain cooling and if you don't lose cooling over several months, it is unlikely there were other issues.

If you lose cooling within a few days, then there is a leak that must be found and sealed.

Pls house, I need advice.
1. Does changing brand of engine oil affects the engine?
I want to change my car engine oil. The car is Honda Pilot. I used Mobil 1 5W-20 Advance Full Synthetic motor oil, but intend to change to another brand with the same 5W-20 but relatively cheaper.
2. Or must I stick to Mobil 1that's currently in the engine?
3. Which genuine brand do you recommend? Cheaper than mobil 1.
4. The price and where to buy in Lagos?

Thanks

luvinhubby:

My advice on engine oil is, stick to reputable brands and get them from the right source.

A lot of bottled and sealed nonsense is being sold in our markets as synthetic oil.

Speaking from experience

nas00:


Factors to consider:

1) With the Mobil 1 you presently use, does your engine oil level fall short of the full mark in-between oil changes? ... Meaning you usually have to top up the oil in-between.

2) Any leakage of engine oil from the engine (Is your engine block dry or usually soiled due to seepage of engine oil)?

3) What is the routine interval between your engine oil changes?

4) What is the average distance you cover before changing your engine oil (drain and refill).

5) What is the mileage of your car presently?

If you provide answers to these questions, we can reach a logical decision.

Cheers!

Ochima75:


Explain better. And is there a check engine light?

If there's or there's not. Still take it for a full scan. Let them scan the gear box. But try and explain better

Kaymaxi2222:
what i notice is if i engage the car in drive the light that use to indicate on the dashboard will be on and off at intervals..... And after drive for a while let say 15-20km the gear won't select again and it will just be revving and not move. But if i park it for a while let say like 5 mins it will work again for and while and then do the same again. And yes the check engine light is on

AIR/FUEL sensor is bad(located just behind your engine on your exhaust)
O2 sensor is bad(located just under your front right passenger seat on the exhaust pipe)
The third one I don't have an idea.
BUT
NB: YouTube will help you clarify it better.

Moreover if you don't change those two. Trust me you will be buying fuel as if you are buying pure water to pour into your radiator when it's overheating

easysunny:


1. No top up in-between. Only changed the oil 6 months ago.

2. No leakage of engine oil from the engine.

3. Interval of 6 months. Only changed it once since I bought the car ie about 6 months ago.

4. About 3000 + miles.

5. The present mileage is 160,315.

I don't use the car often. This will be my 2nd change of oil since I bought tokunbo.
I just notice that blue like smoke comes out from the exhaust when I raise the accelerator. It doesn't happen before like that.
Then I checked the oil percentage and it's 30%.
That's the reason i intend to change the oil since it's over 6 months now i changed the oil.

What's your advice based on these information?

Thanks

One last thing Sir:

Contrary to what one may ordinarily think, not using your car often adversely affects your car health. May even predispose to oil leaks due to cracked oil seals.

Try use your car often ooo

Carbuyer83:


What is the best solution to this, I mean cracked oil seals?

nas00:


That’s Mobil 2000 5W-30. It’s about N5500 per 4ltrs at Mobil filling stations.

Thanks for the answers.

If cost were not an issue, I think your engine is a good candidate for Mobil 1 (semi-synthetic).

Since cost is an issue, I would suggest you switch to a newer and cheaper Mobil oil that was recently introduced into our market. I think it is semi-synthetic and has better suited viscosity than Mobil XHP or Total Quartz, which are both 20W-50. (Will try find a picture of it and post during the week).

Cheers!

nas00:


1) The best solution is to replace the seals with OEM.

I said OEM because some can be a real pain to replace (e.g. The rear main seal, which is essentially between the transmission and the crankshaft and difficult to reach). You don't want to undergo all that stress only for your replacement seal to be leaking too.

2) Some engine oils marketed as 'high mileage oil' contain additives that swell up the cracked seals, helping them to minimize oil leakage. This can only be a short term fix, if it works at all (but that is the claim of the marketers)

3) Some outright oil additives are also sold in the market as 'stop leaks'. I have never used it, but I have a friend who bought a number of bottles when he had oil leakage. Contrary to marketing claims, it did not improve the situation.

These are the practical options Sir.
