I notice the overhoverheating whenever I get to my destination, and off the engine, the coolant will just pour out . It is usually worse when I use the a.c. I think it is related to a.c operation

GAZZUZZ:
cc au.tologic, motor.guru, hon.musa, Auto.electng, this looks like a village people case



You will need a high end Scanner to see if the engine ecu is receiving a start command. Pls visit a Tech that uses a high end Diagnostic tool.

I have a little issue concerning my car AC, it works well and blows cold, but the Radiator fan doesn't come on to cool the condenser and compressor.

I actually didn't allow Kazeems to remove any of my car's thermostat so the radiator fan only come up once a while when temperature rises then stop after few seconds/minutes when everything goes normal or when moving.

I believe when the AC is switched on, the radiator fan should start Automatically Just like my 2nd car but this one won't just come on.
There was a time i started the car and switched on the AC trying to see if the fan will actually come on, i waited for about 4 minutes and then the Compressor started bringing out smoke due to overheating because the fan wasn't coming on since the engine temperature itself didn't rise.

Now i am forced to only use the AC at high speed so air could blow into the system or remove one of my engine sensors to allow the fan start running immediately when the vehicle starts. Am not convenient with this as the Check Engine light is always on.

Is there something i can do about this please?
I dont want my fan running everytime the vehicle is working, neither do i want my compressor fried because fan wont respond to the AC coming on.
Is there a fault somewhere? Help please.

Car is Nissan Primera p11 1.6.
Thanks

This is something simple that you can solve yourself if you're so inclined.

I come from an engineering family and then I happened to marry a man whose career is in auto tech. Who knows, maybe that's how I GOT the husband lmao!!
Thanks.

radautoworks:
Speaking of which:

I apologize for not replying for the past couple of days. I was engaged in training some employees and quite pregnant so energy levels not what they used to be.

Congratulations just make sure you use 5W30 synthetic for your oil servicing and get original oil filter.That should last you like 4 to 5 months.Then dont let anyone remove your thermostat and permanent fan.You wont be stuck in the middle of the road,but if you do keep calm and exit vehicle safely then call for help.

Affordable and competent mechanics is like looking for 10k room in sheraton.

Kashif:
I don't think what the OP is offering is premium service; I see it as standard instead.

There are people who are willing to pay for standard services, as long as they are getting value for money. For many of these people, the most important question for them is "can you fix it?" They will avoid you if you sound cheap. Counterfeit is a big problem in Nigeria. Most of the things you buy off the market are fake, and might even break before you leave the market! Even those who stock genuine products keep them away, until you say you want the original. Personally, I have learnt to spend only if I can get value for money.

Coming to the Camry analogy, if you have spent 15k+labour three times on a fake part in a year, won't you be better off spending 40k once on genuine part? I laugh when people argue that tokumbo is better than new. It is because they dont/cant find the genuine parts. Once, I asked my mechanic to change my brake pads because I was travelling. By the time I got to my destination, my wheels where covered in black powder, and my parking brake handle was upright on engagement!

As a mechanic, rather than work for 10 bargain hunters for 10k each, wont you rather work for 5 people who know value, for 20k each, or even less? You are better organised, less hassle, and lower overhead. This is because if you are a professional, you will always deliver standard service, no matter if it is a 1996 Mazda, or a 2018 BMW. In the 80-20 rule, wont it be nice if 80% of your revenue come from 20% of your customers?

Somebody here mentioned that so many car owners don't have the financial capacity to own automobiles. Some will want you to come to their house for 5k!

please how much is the 06 Camry rotor or brake disc

chigodo:
Gazzuzz has finally equalised. Scores now na Gazzuzz 1 : 1 Me. You all saw when I updated that once I finish with the bumper at Ojuelegba that I'll be heading straight to Gazzuzz's workshop.

I got there few minutes ago. (See picture evidence below). His boys said 'oga no dey' I called him, baba said he has gone to Ladipo. I said ok send me your account number let me transfer the advance.

. (By the way oga Gazzuzz insisted I must pay 90% of the agreed sum).

Gazzuzz said there are about 3 cars on ground before me and that he wants those ones finished before they commence work on my own.

Meanwhile from Ojuelegba, I drove past my house (Obanikoro ). Heading to his office and he knows that this vehicle na v8. Consumes fuel like crazy.

Whether he has stopped drinking origin or not. He must buy me origin for making me waste my fuel.

Peacefullife:
What are the likely causes of overheating on a second generation Xterra (05+)? Does the cooling system need bleeding when you add coolant ? How do I know if the water pump is working or not?

Hoses not leaking
Coolant filled to normal level
No thermostat
Radiator cold after long drive but the other plastic boils and throws water away when I park
Fan working well


Please help.

banky3w:
Please do inform us when you're fully online, I've been looking to change my brake system(parts) to bosch since to no avail. I'm happier than EgunMo.gaji as you dey see me so.

toluxa1:
I'v noticed on a few drives now that after driving for a while my temperature is still stuck on 0 even when the vehicle is already warm. Although after a while it later goes up. I did a routine scan just now and this came up. How do I fix?

Costee:
"We put in a new ECU and it went in flames in less than 18hrs." Verily, verily I say unto thee, that was the burnt offering.
But seriously, I think that a good auto tech should be able to handle this issue smoothly (I hope you'll get involved). The JR50/R50 (QX4/Pathfinder) is one of the more innocuous handiwork of Nissan.

Do you havr mannol atf hp 6 for audi a6c6

sooperrescue:
Bros, you keep saying 5w30. Please emphasis should be on the brand. All those naija, turkish and korean oil are 5w30. Even Malaysia has abandoned palm oil and they are now into engine oil.

Shalomc:
Don't make their mistake. Always monitor all calls into and out of your office. I got pissed off after speaking with their partner hydro trans

Costee:
Why art thou teasing me? Lol. Whatever happened to the IACV connection in the saga?
We proceed by confirming that it's not been troubled by radiator coolant/water.
