Car Talk › Re: My Car Vent Is Bringing Out Toxic Smell by autologic: 8:39pm On Mar 06, 2018 |
Ournaija: Got the car 3 months ago. I noticed this awful smell from the vent. My body oozes out this smell after I put on the AC , even when the AC is off I still perceive it. Fragrances has little to avert it. I have checked the car engine and all look new as ever. The mechs confirm no leakage and the AC is as chilling as ever. please help what could be the issue?

3kay945: Am bit confuse here, can anyone enlighten me pls? Is it possible for the radiator water to be boiling when the temperature gauge stays at the middle
I thought it could be faulty temp gauge or the owner mis interpreted the gauge. Yes is possible ,the design of temperature sensor is to react correspondingly to water temperature and its reaction to air only hot air might be flawed. Just change the engine cos your engine is cheap.the cost that will do a standard gasket change is not too distant from change of engine . Another thing: Don't use that stop leak stuff again |

Car Talk › Re: My RAV 4 2005 Model Keeps Overheating by autologic: 10:09am On Feb 26, 2018 |
midnitestar: Hello all,
I need your advice on this issue. My RAV 4 engine keeps overheating especially when I accelerate.
I changed the engine Just recently alongside the radiator and the catalyst for the exhaust but it is still the same thing. Please experts in the house should assist with what could really be the issue here coz' this is the fourth time it is overheating.
I don't wanna have "kazeems" who will be treating symptoms instead of the real issue with the car.
A new mechanic I got said it had to do with the radiator cap but my fears remain that when I start speeding the car overheats and it has broken down twice at 3rd mainland bridge.
Please help guys High speed induced overheating =Compression gas into cooling system. Top gasket leak suspected . Go for compression test and cooling system test to confirm compression integrity. |

adekbabs: Dear Sir @digriz, please i need your help urgently, saw your post on Nairaland about car jacking and stalling on motion. My car has same issue and have spent a lot still the problem persist, can you share your phone no with me or call me on 08078270849. I will like to engage your Mechanic Kazeem to help check. my car is Lexus RX300.
await your prompt response sir.
Thank you, Oga don't waste your resources on futile exercise,it doesn't work that way . Car jerking and stalling are just symptoms of performances issue that can be due to hundred of reason.Other people fix for that similar symptom might not share the same fix with your issues r cos there is underlying root cause this might different .This similar to the same condition of a patience that has headache which can be due to different reason (malaria,typhoid ,cancer etc) What u need to do is to find the root cause of why the car is jerking and stalling and resolve it and that is all . Simply go for diagnosis . |
Car Talk › Re: Camry 99 Thermostat Removal by autologic: 11:05am On Feb 19, 2018 |
Topleague: my mechanic connect my toyota camry 1999 fan direct and i have been using it for the past 2 years. How do i correct it pls, whom do i meet, mechanic or electrician? Meet a professional technician cos you need someone equipped enough to perform cooling system pressure integrity test for your cooling system before thermostat and wiring can be rewired to default so as to avoid triggering up a hidden overheating issue. Caution :Don't let anybody touch your cooling system if the person is not equipped with cooling system pressure tester . |

erico2k2: so how does the code P0128 get triggered??(Camry Specific) The ecu has a pre programmed set time taken for the car to achieve optimum temperature and the ecu will trigger P0128 if the set time is taken too long than the required threshold. eg if the nominal time required to achieve optimum temperature is 10 minute but the time taken is more than 10 minute ,P0128 will be triggered. |

Barbara007: Nah its not that serious yet, it only rises when I move on speed but if on slow ride it is normal, I checked online too and I have strong feelings its the thermostat. I really appreciate sir. If your water pump is confirmed to be OK ,go for compression test to confirm if your top gasket is still intact . Combustion gas leakage into the radiator will raise your coolant temperature indiscriminately with increase in engine speed. |
