I have always complained and to be fair to him, he has always said bring the car back.

I just don’t have confidence in him because an oxygen sensor issue is something that should be minor and if he couldn’t do that.....then the suggestion he also made about the revving sound being caused by a leak in the hose was also very surprising.

What if it is even the oxygen sensor causing the performance issue because the code is still there?

That was my personal experience with him and I rest my case.

NanaF:
Autologic you kept disturbing me and asking me and I told you I thought it was better but I am not the one driving the car.

We changed fuel pump based on your advice and the oxygen sensor code remained and you were still clueless on what to do. Now the said fuel pump failed has failed. Even after you changed it, we noticed the car wouldn’t always start on first try. A problem we never had with the old fuel pump o. I think this is what even angered me and triggered my first complaint on this thread.

The light reviving sound when accelerating you said it was radiator hose, it was at this point I knew that anybody can form professional in this digital age.

This is a review not for you but for any potential customer to see.

NanaF:
You still have mouth to talk here.

We have never filled the tank to it’s capacity. Due to the recent fuel scarcity, we were forced to.

NanaF:
Lol. The car was moving well beyond 60km/hr. You must think this a joke. Are you kidding? This is a no.1 sign that you are a liar, you don’t know your work and you lack integrity.

I’m sure you know we spent more than the diagnostic fee based on your quack advice.

Like I said, this is just a warning to anyone who would want to use you. Refunding the diagnostic fee would do nothing for me.

You changed a perfectly good fuel pump that didn’t solve the problem like you claimed and months after it has failed. You should cover your face in shame and not come here to be typing all these.

I don't think her grouse is the diagnosis fee...... I might be wrong tho.

Still observing...

NanaF:
I took my mums car to him months ago. The check engine light was on for oxygen sensor and we felt the car was not responding well when accelerating and making a light revving sound while driving. He charged us for diagnosis, 10k I think. More like charged us for trial and error.

At first he said the catalyst needed to be removed and that there was a problem with the exhaust system. Later he said the exhaust was ok. For the light revving sound he said he thinks it’s a hole in rubber hose close to the radiator, even I am not a mechanic and I know that sounds impossible.

He said there was nothing wrong with the oxygen sensor. That he had done tests and the fuel pump needed replacement. He said it was the fuel pump that was causing the oxygen sensor code.

Later I realized his work ended at giving ‘diagnosis’, other people would later do the work in his absence.

The fuel pump was changed in my presence and he was not there to do this so called test to see if this new fuel pump was ok.

According to him, we are to leave the car for days after work has been done for proper follow up checks. We brought a car to you not a sick patient please.

After the fuel pump was changed, the oxygen sensor code remained contrary to his diagnosis. The car performance issue didn’t change really. So we basically wasted money and time and nothing changed.

We filled the tank this past weekend and fuel started overflowing from under the tank. Apparently, the fuel pump that was fixed by ‘his’ mechanics failed and now the car is parked down. Meaning nothing was wrong with the old fuel pump that was taken out.

I don’t expect anything from you Autologic but I hope anyone who searches your name will see this review and stay far far away from you.

@Autologic, have you abandoned your students here?

3kay945:
No Ecu or any issue for now but for possibly corrections or clarity cos some sensors (I guess) wires have been cut off by former kazeem.

3kay945:
Am just seeing this. It's rav4 02 boss!

jossytech:
Hello gurus, oga gazzuz please what remedy to this my car vibrate on moving gear to D and AC turn on, this started when I xhage my oxygen sensor underneath the car


Thanks

3kay945:
Thanks Boss, but how am I sure the cat has not been replaced with such a thing he planned to use by former kazeem? Cos I don't think the vehicle consume fuel.
Besides, what is the likely consequences if he use the 'door net' in the exhaust? Thanks once again, am learning fast!

Nelbless:
Hello house,

I want to purchase a nigerian used 2004 infinity fx45 from a friend, its neat and well kept, but then its an eight plugs suv.....which gives me serious concern on its fuel consumption..

However, I want to verify from Nairalanders here, that are auto mechanics, pros....

If I could replace the factory engine it came with which has 8 plugs, by buying a four plug or six plug engine...replacing it

Again, if their are auto parts dealers here, importers of vehicle engine, please call me on 07051700339, for engine negotiation

ndego1993:
Please where can I get a place to scan my car in Benin. This is urgently needed people.

drkay:
been hearing a knocking sound lately, especially when ascending a sloppy terrain or flyover at low speed. otherwise, the car is on top of its game. my 'kazeem' said its probably because engine capacity is getting weaker for d ac.

Oksman:
Your gear oil pump is blocked (it is located inside the gear system) hence can't tranmit the pressure required to drive the shaft. Change it and you are good to go. Talking from experience. Wish you the best.
