Thanks to everyone that share their view..
More comment is needed
test for a while....

for a non-compromised cooling system that is very normal. as suggested drive longer distance band monitor it to see.

if it goes higher than that then you should find the problem. but I know the temperature getting half-way is very normal

You are making the wrong choices bro, i think you should look at Honda Civic or c230 all 1.8L, the lesser the fuel consumption, the more profit you make. My opinion though.
seconded.


the w203 c180/200 kompressor will equally serve too...

This comparison is somehow.
Why not compare Honda evil spirit with 2003-2008 MB E320/E350?
i believe the cars mentioned are the options he is considering. And not a model to model comparison.

Car Talk / Re: Honda Civic Stalls When Clutch Is Engaged. by AutoMoTech(m): 12:22pm On Jul 17, 2021
sheantip:
My 2008 civic stalls when I engage the clutch whenever I'm coming to a stop.
Maybe at a traffic light or during emergency when I need to engage the clutch and brake, the rpm will just drop down to 0.
I've scanned and I have p0135: sensor heater circuit bank 1 sensor 1
And
P0498: Evaporative emission system
Your engine may be suffering from a lack of adequate air to carry the load when you brake of put on the AC.
Check your air filter/Air intake ducts for restriction.
Then check your throttle body (injector mouth or actuator as a kazeems call them).
If dirty clean it properly.
Test and revert

Car Talk / Re: My Car Vibrates With AC On by AutoMoTech(m): 2:54pm On Jul 09, 2021
Aanumi16:


Oga how can a car RPM be 1000 or 1500 at idle?
Kilode...

@op since the vibration only occurs when AC is ON, I guess you have a manual compressor that's drags down your engine, I used to experience this when I had peoguot compressor but since I changed to "Big for nothing", it has been working fine for close to two years now with minimal vibration and rpm is between 650 - 750 at idle with AC on.

Don't allow any kazeem adjust your RPM



correct my guy .. chop knuckle.
the simple issue is the car is most likely fitted with a wrong AC.
the ECU is not compensating enought for the added load (Compressor). when you also apply brake, you load it even more.
they don't know adjusting RPM will only mask the problem and never fix it.

Larwin:


Here is the code

WHEN LAST DID YOU CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION OIL?
DID YOU USE THE RECOMMENDED OIL?
WHAT IS THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE OIL?

MY PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS.
DRAIN THE OIL. INSPECT FOR METAL FILINGS. IF THERE IS A LOT OF METAL FILINGS YOU MIGHT NEED TO START PLANNING TOWARDS TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT.
HOWEVER IF THE OIL IS STILL GOOD, PLS CHECK ALL THE WIRES ESPECIALLY THE GROUND WIRES CONNECTED TO THE TRANSMISSION.
IF WIRING IS GOOD, CHANGE THE SOLENOID/SWITCH THAT IS IDENTIFIED TO BE FAULTY.
IF ALL THS DOES NOT CORRECT IT, YOU MIGHT NEED TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION.

Good evening. Pls I have a Mitsubishi Galant 2000 model, we tried to start it but it's not starting,the starting is very hard and current isn't getting to the plug. pls what could be the problem

A NUMBER OF THINGS CAN CAUSE THIS FOR EXAMPLE A BROKEN FUSE, FAULTY BRAIN BOX, BAD IGNITION MODULE, WRONG IGNITION TIMING, BAD CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, FAULTY WIRING... AMONG OTHER THINGS.
WHAT HAS YOUR MECHANIC TOLD YOU?
WHAT JOB WAS DONE OR HAS BEEN DONE ON IT SO FAR?

drove it close to a month. during change of ATF the bottom plate of gearbox was removed and all the oil drained. how can gearbox be flushed. I am yet to flush the cooling system properly. pls is Oando ATF DEXTRON III good enough?


drove it close to a month.
R: BEFORE THE PROBLEMM OCCURED OR AFTER?

how can gearbox be flushed?
R: KINDLY CHECK ONLINE OR YOUTUBE FOR VIDESO ON YOUR PARTICULAR VEHICLE.

pls is Oando ATF DEXTRON III good enough?
R: I HAVE USED IT IN THE PAST AND STIL DO. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. BUT IS IT THE RECOMMENDED OIL FOR YOUR VEHICLE? YOU NEVER GAVE DETAILS OF THE CAR IN QUESTION. PLS CONSIDER CHECKING IF IT MEETS THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDATION FOR YOUR CAR.

I based in Abuja we have lots of competent mechanics here, I just don't know which of the cars is the best.

BABA JUST DO YOUR CIVIC JEJE...
MAINTENANCE ON BOTH IS PRACTICALLY SAME. LOW FUEL CONSUMPTION ON BOTH. THE PUG HAS A VERY MAD AC IF OUR BROTHERS NEVER TOUCH AM SHA O.
CIVIC IS EASY TO TOUCH, SO WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE...

Car Talk / Re: I Love Cars With "Electrical Issues" by AutoMoTech(m): 7:51pm On Mar 05, 2021

Oh okay thank you

Because the person said the problem mostly arises when manual 307 is transformed into Auto tans. (Which is the most common Auto 307 you will see) but if you are lucky to have the original Auto trans that came as it is then you will face less problem. Talking about Neatly used.

Pls what do you think which of the two between civic 2008 -10 and 307 a person should go for.

IN THAT CASE THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN ALTERED AND MOST LIKELY NOT DONE PROPERLY IT WILL SURELY GIVE PROBLEMS. YOU SEE ITS NOT A FACTOR OF AUTO 307 BUT CONVERTED 307. FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND AVOID CONVERTED PEUGEOTS.
BTW CIVIC AND 307? ANY OF THEM IS GREAT. BUT THE MECHANICS AROUND YOU HOW COMPETENT ARE THEY?

Thank you all my brothers. I'm saving money for the 13 pin. I spoke with the dealer and he said it's 350k for the 13 pin, I will get it soon. God bless.

CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION. PLEASE ENSURE THE MECHANIC FIXING THE GEAR TAKES EXTREME PRECAUTIONS AND IS VERY CLEAN. LIKE STATED, INTRODUCING DIRT INTO THE SYSTEM WILL KILL IT FASTER THAN ANYTHING.

Good day, I have an issue with my sienna 05 once the gearbox is cold it will not move when engaged in drive except I raise the engine several times when engaged and it will move when the oil gets hot that is when the gear will start selecting and all the gear will select properly.
Note it will enter reverse even when it's cold. Pls tell me what is the best solution thanks
THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE CAUSED BY A NUMBER OF THINGS. DIRTY OIL, WEAK SOLENOIDS, FAULT IN WIRING. YOU NEED PROPER DIAGNOSIS IN OTHER TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM.
TRY CARRY OUT A SYSTEM SCAN TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY FAULT CODES STORED.
CHECK THE QUALITY IF THE OIL TOO. IF SMELLY AND BURNT, REPLACE OIL AND FILTER.
