Monkeyprick:
Afternoon my Oga's ,I have been hearing gbi gbi sound underneath my car for a month, so i took it to a mechanic and he said one of my engine seat is bad. He removed it and put bushings ,yet the sound still persist.
Fast forward to yesterday, the sound was unbearable, as i opened the door to sit in, i heard something like a crack sound (which i suppose has to be the brake pads)..
Please what could likely cause this?
Wear out shaft /brake pads or linkage?
Also, the car makes so much noise whenever i drive on interlocking stone, could that be a linkage stabilizer?
Please help me out Bosses.

bros this thing no hard o. what you need to do is get your mechanic check your suspension parts. a faulty engine seat usually causes vibration and stuff. not likely it will cause noise on the road.
however your problem most likely lies in faulty bushings, linkages, shock absorber, spring, shock pads, linkage etc
an ordinary (careful) visual inspection will really help you get this fixed right. don't throw parts. diagnose it right...

Esc from the c1702

OH YEAH... thats true. but i felt it wouldnt be wise making a conclusion only based on just one module scan result. don't you think it would be wise to see other codes in other modules to give a better diagnosis process?

radautoworks:
Programming issue. Your esc module needs to be coded and g sensor calibrated. It's a software not a parts issue. Also possible bad fuse or wire short

EPS or ESC?

Peejaygold09:
Okay. I will get back to you once I share with my Oga. He is with the car now.

ok.. sorry about the ordeal

Hello guru, I use a 2005 Pontiac vibe bought mid last year, I noticed the rpm never rises above 3000, my average speed is 80 to 100kmh. Please is this normal?

God bless

this is not normal. a blocked exhaust usually shows this same symptoms. for confirmation test, find a panel beater to help remove the exhaust. for ease, you can consider removing the upstream o2 sensor, then try rev the engine. if it revs without any problem, then you have a blocked exhaust.
pls kindly note this is just one of many other causes o.

Peejaygold09:
Pls what do I do with this. It's just like Greek to me. Please�

pls scan all the modules and provide all the codes stored on each module. thanks

Peejaygold09:
Good morning. Yes vehicle has been scanned. Car was bought brand new on hire purchase.
Car has only was hit from behind and it hot another car about 4 years ago
Power steering performs very well. It only becomes stiff when the eps light comes up
Thank you

thank you for the info provided. pls kindly carry out a scan on all the modules on the vehicle. reason being that, what you are experiencing might not be isolated to the Electronic Steering System (EPS) alone. there is a reason the engine computer shuts down systems and puts the vehicle in limp mode. being a CAN fault, there is a possibility a system is failing causing the above symptoms. we need to know what fault is common to all the modules. this will help in the rest of the diagnosis.
so pls kindly scan all the systems and provide error codes. thanks

Peejaygold09:
Good Evening My Husband has been the person working with the mechanic. The current mechanic scanned it but I don't have information on the codes

The steering is not stiff, no noise from the steering
The EPS light comes on, temperature gauge, rpm and gear signs go off.
The car begins to move very slow.. Also AC goes off.
I will show this feedback to him and get back to you. Thank you

thank you for providing more info on this. I have a feeling you have an electrical fault which is causing the EPS light come on and the other symptoms you just mentioned. AC going off and vehicle driving slow sounds like what we call LIMP MODE.
kindly get a competent tech, scan all the modules on that vehicle. you will find your fault. post codes if you can.

Xtianvic:
Please what do these lights signify?
Car: Lexus ES300, if that's relevant

the check is the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT aka CEL. your engine computer turns that on when there is a fault detected and an error code is stored on the computer.
i will get back to you later on the other light. i currently do not have information on it

Morning

llade:
The key is ok, am talking about the remote if another one can be bought and programmed. The 2008 Nissan Pathfinder remote and key are separate.

Oh... Ok. Apologies pls. Ofcourse it can be programmed

Lexusgs430:
I just talk say make we pack all the questions inside that small package, make she begin drink palm wine on top the matter............

Hahahaa... Evils

llade:
I have a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder but the remote is bad and refused to work even after changing the battery severally. Can a new remote be programmed that will work for the suv. Am based in Abuja.

Yes ofcourse. A new key can e programed. Just ensure d security module (if any)/immobilizer is still good...

Lexusgs430:
Have you had vehicle scanned? Did you buy it brand new? Did you run a vin check? Does vehicle have an accidented history? Is your power steering performing optimally or like a manual steering system?.....

Chai guy... Na HBP u wan give this guy so o?

Lexusgs430:
Where in the bonnet, usually has water?

The radiator...........

Open your bonnet, start your engine, when engine achieves maximum temperature, check where the kettle is boiling from (keep an eye on your temperature gauge).....

A few things could be wrong, let's hope it's not your head gasket waving bye bye..............

Lets say a prayer for the soul of our dearly departed brother, husband and great friend... Mr. head Gasket

suzzyrims:
Good morning guys.

I use a Toyota Camry 2003, I recently started hearing a sound from the engine side like boiling water. Please I need an advise of what could be going wrong?

When you hear dis boiling water noise have you openee the bonnet to check?
Off my head you could possibly have an overheating problem.if the noise is from the radiator or expansion tank, then you sure have an overheating issue.
If so you will need to get your cooling system checked
Possible causes;
Head gasket might be blown
Radiator cover might have failed
You might have a leak somewhere
Etc...

Kindly inspect and revert

Peejaygold09:
Good Evening. I need your advice. I use a Hyundai accent 2014 model. The EPS light ha refused to go off despite several attempt by different mechanics to work on it. The current mechanics says the error message is now detecting the colon (not sure about the spelling) under the steering. Pls who can I talk to. Pls help! The history of this issue is too long to type. God bless you as you respond. I have been seeing the name of Gazzus and Autotech in threads.

I would like to understand something, when you say mechanics have worked on it, what do you mean? Did they carry out a thorough scan on the system? I believe there should be a module responsible for monitoring and controlling d EPS. If not previously done, kindly scan and post codes as a first step to your diagnosis.
Also what other symptoms have you observed?
Stiff steering? Whining Noise when you turn?
Kindly provide these info so we can help better.

Good morning guys.
Pls I use Volkswagen Passat 2007 model and recently I started noticing 'immobilizer active' on the dashboard. Whenever this comes on, the car won't start.

I will have to wait for like 10 minutes and sometimes I have to remove battery terminal so it can start.

I have only one key and the chip inside is intact, never fallen from my hand before.

Pls anyone with an advise...will really appreciate.

First step i would advice is you scan the vehicle. Especially the immobilizer module to see what error codes are stored there.
Eventually you might need to reprogramme the vehicle however thats maybe...
There is possibly a communication fault between your key and the immobilizer or the immobilizer and the pcm etc....

Mrford:
I de fine. Welcome back.

Tnx boss...

Mrford:
Baba where have you been?

my oga... twale ooo. ur boi go sort somethings na why. how far na?

Good morning ..... How can we help you?

Jean2:
God bless you sir.
Can you help with the fix please?

Sorry but no

Jean2:
Thank you very much sir. I found out it was just a gimmick to get the car to a mechanic workshop and exploit me. I found out he is not even a mechanic, just parts seller like the person that referred me to him!

Lol.... Tnk God u didnt waste money.

Hicars:
Please call and arrange for an inspection, I opened this account for the purpose to advertise and sell my car, it's also listed on too. Feel free to arrange for an inspection, please. Many Thanks Hi-cars !

Would be great if you also provide details of vehicle location so potential customers can can arrange for inspection. Happy sales

Stewart883:
just purchased a Chevrolet optra 2008 vehicle Nigerian used

Please is it a good car? What's the maintenance cost and fuel economy like?

there is a reason you got the car. ensure you carry out necessary maintenance measures now like servicing, tune ups and stuff.
as regards the maintenance cost and fuel economy, we cant really help as we do not know the current state of the vehicle. however try go online and learn as much as you can about the said vehicle, its common problems.
Also find a mechanic/technician that's competent in the servicing and repairs of the vehicle make.

Hollarmighty:
Please help with some recommendations about who can help me fix the alternator for my Camry 03. It's been repaired twice in the last 6 months. And it's packed up again. Or what could be the problem?

kindly consider changing it rather than repairing it again... also ensure the voltage rating is same or atleast within manufacturer spec.

donuba61:
Yes but we have not done the welding. He said the issue might occur again as the valve is already weak.

He's right about that. Whatever you consider best. Replacement would have been best however you can go ahead and block it.

donuba61:
No i have not, after he removed it, he service d valve n fixed it back and the car drive well then he suggested that as a permanent solution.

Does the vehicle drive better now?

donuba61:
It was when he remove the EGR valve that he found out it open, so he suggested we do small welding around the edge of the spring so it will be permanently close.

So have U done it already but asking our opinion abi U r about to do it?
