My AC not chilling anylonger, please advise the best AC product to fill. I'm always scared of this Aboki guys selling by the road side

Dont put the cart before the horse ,the first step in right direction is to find out why the ac is not cooling fine.Of what use is the best gas in the world (if such exist ) wen the system is already compromised.

Timblogga:
it came with the down nozzle type of engine, which was eventually changed to upper nozzle. It’s been one issues from the other. Sometimes it refuses to go beyond a particular speed, sometimes refuses to start. Was told it’s an issue with those that did the wiring during the conversion.

Vehicle must have been severely abused electrically ,what will resolve this pieces is a complete restoration project, everything must be taken back to its initial setting ,any short of this a pure waste of money and effort.
Don't be at rush to start throwing brainbox ,wires etc so that it doesn't eventually turn to a white elephant project .First let a professional diagnotician handles this by doing a thorough diagnostic and troubleshooting of whatever are wrong and do a completely estimates whatever it will take to take it back to proper shape and based on that u can plan if it a project worth going into or not.

funny thread


very unnecessary comments


poster wants to make a choice out of two cars clearly stated.........his choice oh


but no,we must impose lexus on him because we cannot see beyond our noses

very pathetic


I go for the range rover anytime anyday

Nice one ,
I won't even be surprised if someone recommend corolla

izaac23:
My Ogas, I greet u
My Corolla 2004 model recently developed a problem that when I press down the accelerator when trying to move fast from a slow pace or when trying to go up hill, the vehicle will vibrate until it gains it expected speed or on the full Run b4 it stops vibrating. Pls help, wat cud be the problem??

Remote guesses can't go for this one ,take it to a good tech to check for u as you might have some misfires .

Good morning house.

I use a Honda accord 2005 EOD. Ever since I bought a new compressor for the AC, the car's engine trembles seriously once I turn on the Ac and the engine is idle. But it runs perfectly if the car is in motion.

I have checked the engine mounts, and they are still okay. Can you please provide a hint on what the issue is and how to fix it.

Thank you

What u need to confirm is if the ac system has not been installed outside the controlled loop of the ecu.
The way u know is if you have a "third part mechanical thermostat" introduced for triggering the ac system off ( local rewires and ladipo boys crude way of installing ac systems )

Timblogga:
Please I need a genuine engine wire and brain box for a 2004 rav 4. I can’t seem to find a thread about it. Any genuine dealer here please?

What is the issue with your vehicle

bolu1986:
Anyone?

U can chat me up on my my signature below.

melviniyke2002:
maybe u brgt a manual compressor

Not a possibility cos for the vehicle type the compressor design is already the manual type .

Dew360:
Thanks! I will check that.

I need a Benz expert in Lagos.

Where is your location in lagos ,autologic supports Benz brands with latest MB OEM tools .check for more info below

skotch:
Please I'm having fuel consumption issues with my Lexus ES330, the catalytic converters were removed and I thought it'd be better to disconnect the O2 sensors but the consumption is still high.
Do you think that getting an O2 sensor spacer and reconnecting the O2 sensor will help reduce the fuel consumption?
Please do you have any suggestions for me on how to solve this problem?

Look elsewhere, missing cat is not your culprit , it high time we learn to put a metric to fuel mileage measurement eg by which which margins is the consumption not just mere saying car consume fuel only .

starring:
Thanks bro
To So I can't get a complete sound engine at Ladipo without the above issue you stated above

To avoid story that touches the heart
Give this responsibility to a good mechanic to sort you out simple. We can recommend mechanic for u if u want

just hold additional money to do many corrections and adjustments in a better workshop after ladipo boys shoddy job
If it 4 bolts that oyinbo use to hold engine , ladipo boys will tie 2 bolts and leave the rest telling u that the rest are not necessary na oyinbo do overdo and expect many sensors and wires chop off
Ladipo mechanics and sharp sharp shoddy job are like

For sake of misinforming the uninitiated ones, kindling delete that part of " car guzzling fuel caused by catalyst ".I know you want to sell market but u can still do successfully without passing wrong information around .

David275:
Hello house pls how can I differentiate between An American spec and European spec C240 w203. My fuel level in the instrument cluster behaves erratically recently, it remain on 0 level when the car is cold until after the car runs for a while before reading, and I was told the sender unit is responsible. I went to find out the cost of the sender unit from spare part store and was asked if is American or European. Pls how can I know the spec the American spec cost #20k while Europe cost #6k, the price difference is much. Pls see the picture of the sender unit

This is not a Toyota that has very few variant ,wen dealing with European vehicle, parts are bought with Part number

adaenwa:
I noticed the PRND all lit up on my car sometimes. I turned off the car, and when I restarted it, the PRND became normal. What could be the problem please?
Thanks for your help!

Is that a Keke marwa or Bajaj let me assume

Philadelphia:
Did you see where I mentioned your camshaft in my previous quote to you
I’m sure you already got the answers you seek. Your final Decius will ultimately determine the fate of your car.

Camshaft for P0021 ? Where ? How ?

mider:
Is it same thing as VVT solenoid?

Try to click the vvt solenoid first with battery to confirm its integrity first before replacing, as not all p0021 means solenoid is bad .
Quality of engine oil, dirts in engine oil ,bad vvt actuator,jumped base timing etc are also parts of elements to consider for the code.

From the live data on scan data ,what is total fuel trim (short term + long term )

safsoorg:
Thanks a lot.
I am sure I have changed the one in the second diagram (camshaft sensor) and if the first one is the knock sensor, I changed that as well.
Unless the guy bought inferior or faulty ones.
Someone even suggested that the gear brain box might be the issue?
Is that a possibility or just quack professionals talking?

Let me be sincere with you, using codes to do literary interpretation doesn't apply for most fault , that is why I will always advice against it, cos you can be led astray easily if it alway based on changing parts based on what code are getting cos it always end up as waste of money .
.The best way to fix issue is to get full understanding on how the systems works and the signaling process that takes place which is the skillset of a qualified professionals technician that is equipped with diverse testing method to handle issues as compared to a diyer or those road side kazeems already calling brainbox or gearbox , just unfortunate that our local refuse to upgrade (story for another day)
So I will advice you to seek physical help not remote of a good technician that really knows his onion to do further physical troubleshooting to see beyond the codes you are getting which is affecting the cars.

Are you saying manual compressor will work without patching thing up?

It can be done with the right expertise although there some drawback as well ,refer to certain clarification I just did here:

eddy2farm:
[[=#006600][/color] Bros I really need your advice now.
I take the car to ac guy , he said the compressor is failing and I need to change it to clutch compressor. Is it advisable to change to manual compressor ?( clutch compressor)
I don't want to spend about 100k and start regretting.
He said I need compressor and condenser which is almost 85k. Pls help me author=Peppermintflav post=108069685]
You need to hook up guages to your system to see what's really going on. Freon might be too much in the system, it might be something else. A manifold gauge will shed more light.

Since it has been confirmed that you have a bad compressor, just ensure that the mechanic doing the job knows is onions wells cos u will pay more than double that cost for automatic compressor.

millhouse:
do you do home service for vehicle repairs ?

No sir

ebenope:
Good morning guys, there is one follow come compressor that came with 2010 corolla, the AC man is saying the compressor is faulty but now want to change it to manual compressor, instead of the automatic compressor, please what's the effect of this changes? Or is there any problem associated with automatic compressor?

The real essence of the VDC compressor aka automotic compressor is for the manufacturer to be able to meet up with the ever stringent fuel economy and emission standard that has been set by EPA ( authorities concerned with emissions regulation in US) .Which means you have a better fuel economy if u are using the VDC compressor compared to FDC ( manual ).However, relatively to the FDC ,the tolerance level of the VDC cannot tolerate bad installation,dirts,moisture in the systems, and not adhering to standard mwhich is common with our local kazeem way of work , which is our local guy will not even want to touch it .Also lack of technical know- how on how the VDC works cos it is a different ball game compared to the FDC ,are part of other factors that contributed to why local guys will naturally hate the VDC cos wont even come near what they don't understand but will prefer to change it the FDC that are well familiar with .
So with manual installed ,expect significant decrease in your fuel economy and more vibration in your engine bay .on flip side of the coins too ,expect to pay more with VDC installed
too cos better services and goods come with more money .

mrcoolautofix:
Hello there, I have a customer who works with United nation lives in asokoro, who have this issue, he have spent a lot trying to resolve this issue, he have met with me before this very moment when his RX350 was having poor cooling performance, I did address it but he ran away after getting back,

At the process of getting this issue resolved, I did realize the compressor was swooped but the electrical electronics was not tampered with, I did get it resolved,

My findings shows that from 2010 lexus or Toyota upward will have a Unique ac problem

I also noted the friendliness of this models with cheap refrigerant and it is quite amazing,

This car hardly have issues

It cooling performance is astronomical if same goes for rx330, I did remember interstate job we did in imo the cooling was something else when we completed our job.

If you own this car be extremely careful with the ac system except you will want to convert it later on when it kicked in.

Aside that only leave it with your trusted mechanic, cos the catalytic converter will go missing, we obviously don't do those shit.

Have a good one

What actually is the core essence of this thread . I am confused?

Reelz:
Oga Gazzuzz pls I have the check signal on my sienna 2000 model.. what could be the issue.. the vehicle moves quite fine..

u will need to scan this yourself to find out

adahib:
This component has been replaced twice. The heater only comes on and blows at maximum capacity.

I am tired jare..
Please who has another suggestion.....

Are u still on this same issue ever since,if u are still battling over ever and many components has been swapped with no success then it is purely electrical issue and will need physical pin point of checking the input against output troubleshooting ,remote diagnosis cannot work here
if u are in lagos ,check signature below for contact .

David275:
It really helps. Thanks so much

U are welcome sir

TRYGO:
Just in case you've battled overheating without any success, find time to check the coolant hose(s) attached to the throttle body of your car.

If you use coloured coolant in your engine cooling system, you'd notice this sort of colourations, dependant on the coolant colour around the small coolant hoses there, indicating a leak!

Hope this helps?!

Thanks, it do help if the leak is from the throttle body coolant hoses.

Having confirmed the car is truly overheating, we can now link it to engine knocking sound the customer complained about .From knowledge of theory, increase in engine will increase the combustion temperature in the engine cylinder that will eventually lead to extreme explosion of the air fuel mixture charge in the cylinder sending huge vibrations effect that will be experienced in form of engine knocking sound commonly referred to as ,detonation or engine pinging.( not complained of all odd engine sound is mechanically inclined )
The ecu will make use of the "knock sensors " to get to confirm engine pinging triggering the ecu to react accordingly .( story for another day ). All these actions can be monitored tru the scan data pid ," ignition advance " depicted below (enough of technical gibberish,sounding ver ).
Welcome to the world of action and reaction, In today vehicle ,every system is interconnected and they are always trained to each other and every action will on a particular system will alway trigger reactions in other systems. thus it is imperative for nowadays automotive technicians to become all-rounder technicians to be trained in all aspects of sciences and engineering fields ( engine, fluids mechanics ,electrical ,computer and even hvac etc ) to handle the 21st century vehicle ,no room for assumptions and arm- chair guess talk, you need to get trained enough to test,test, test till you hit it or else you will miss it big time .This is just the reality.
