CONTAMINATED FUEL i.e WATER IN FUEL COULD CAUSE THIS, WEAK FUEL PUMP COULD ALSO CAUSE THIS, IGNITION PROBLEMS AMONG OTHER THINGS. AS SUGGESTED PLS CARRY OUT A SCAN IF POSSIBLE. MORE IMPORTANTLY FIND A COMPETENT TECHNICIAN TO HELP RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

Oil in my radiator reservoir. culprit was gearbox oil cooler. could my gearbox be damaged?
oga automotech I hail u
I HAIL BACK BOSS. SINCERELY I CANT SAY.
BUT I WANT TO ASK, HOW LONG DID YOU DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION WITH OIL AND WATER MIXED IN IT?
A FRIEND HAD VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH HIS 607 LAST MONTH. INFACT THE WATER AND OIL WAS IN THE GEAR BOX FOR 2 MONTHS ALTHOUGH HE HE DIDN'T DRIVE IT, AND ALL HE DID WAS REPLACE THE OIL COOLER, FLUSH COOLING SYSTEM AND REPLACE TRANSMISSION OIL AND THE GEAR IS BACK AS NEW. SOME PEOPLE HOWEVER HAVE NOT BEEN SO LUCKY.
SO MY ADVICE IS WORK AS THOUGH YOUR TRANSMISSION WAS STILL GOOD. BUT PLS ENSURE YOU DO A PROPER FLUSH OF THE COOLING SYSTEM, FLUSH THE GEAR VERY WELL TOO. AND LETS SEE HOW IT GOES.

@AUTOMOTECH, welcome back. My Honda element 2003 is giving me issue. I changed the transmission recently, but the D is always blinking. Whenever I clear the code, the D won't blink even if I drive from. Morning till night. But once I switch the engine off and drive the D will start blinking again. The code is giving out is solenoid pressure switch C

thanks chief...
CAN YOU PLS PROVIDE THE ERROR CODE YOU GET?
ALSO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS CHANGED, WAS IT COMPLETE WITH ALL SOLENOIDS AND STUFF OR SOME PARTS WERE SWAPPED?
THERE IS NEED TO KNOW THIS SO WE CAN IDENTIFY OTHER PARTS THAT WERE NOT CHANGED WHICH COULD BE CAUSING THIS PROBLEM FOR EXAMPLE WIRING, ECU ...

Please I need a professional help.
My Honda City 2004 model when cool will delay while engine is running for about 10mins when the gear is shifted to D (Drive). But engages immediately when put in R (Reverse).
Please what could be the possible cause?
SYMPTOMS AS THESE ARE USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH GEAR/TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SUCH AS LOW OIL, ELECTRICAL FAULTS, WEAK SOLENOIDS/SWITCHES ETC.
CAN I ASK WHEN LAST YOU SERVICED THIS TRANSMISSION?
SUGGESTION:
1. ENSURE THE GEAR OIL IS PROPERLY GUAGED.
2. CARRY OUT A FULL SYSTEM SCAN, PAY ATTENTION TO FAULT CODES STORED ON THE PCM AND TRANSMISSION MODULE.
POST CODES HERE SO WE CAN FURTHER ASSIST.

Hello people
Pls i use Chevy Optra 2005, once the engine is warm it it won't start till it cools, like after 2hrs.
I have changed the fuel pump, vapour switch and air control switch still no improvement. Can anybody help pls

SORRY FOR LATE RESPONSE.
HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO GET IT RESOLVED?
IN SOME CASES, FAULTY CRANK OR CAMSHAFT SENSORS CAN CAUSE THIS PROBLEMS. I WILL ADVICE YOU DO A SCAN TO SEE IF THE PCM HAS ANY ERROR CODES STORED. THEN PROCEED TO CHECK ALL SENSOR SIGNALS WHILE THE FAULT IS PRESENT TO NARROW DOWN ON THE PROBLEM.

Car Talk / Re: My Brother Benz C200 Bings Out White Smoke by AutoMoTech(m): 6:10pm On Mar 03, 2021
@OP, i suggest you carry out a proper diagnosis on the engine. several things can cause white smoke; such as excess fuel due to a faulty fuel injection system, leaking fuel injectors etc, coolant leak etc.
i do not subscribe to a change in engine until a thorough diagnosis is carried out.
1. carry a full system scan. what error codes are stored?
2. check you PIDs i.e. log and short term fuel trims. what are the figures?
3. check your fuel injectors. an look out for any leaking injector.


all the best

My hubby recently bought a Honda CR-V 2003model(Naija used) for me. It has been from one issue to another. At first it was the gear but it was fixed,one of the days I took the car out it just stopped on the road and the mechanic came to check the car and said he will change a certain switch which he did. In the last 2days now,when driving the steering will be hard all of a sudden and the car will go off showing battery sign on the dashboard. The battery is relatively new,please what do you advice I do?
Alot of things can cause this to occur.
Start with running a scan on all available systems not just the engine.
Post codes here of you need help further Diagnosis.
If the fault is electrical there is a good chance the scan result might point in the right direction.

Also the battery sign is an indicator to a fault in the charging system.
Is it only the battery symbol that comes on?

Good day, my car does hard starting every morning, takes about 3-4times before it starts and starts normally all through the day. What's the likely cause of the hard start? Car is an 05 corolla
Failing fuel pump
Weak battery
Faulty coolant temperature sensor/switch
And a host of other things.

Kindly do a scan of the ECU. If we could get pointers of possible electrical faults. Then we can move on from there.

Some one already came to scan the car and he said it is the speed fuse for both legs that I will change (ABS Issues and Air bag). Can you recommend someone to fix these issues now.
Thanks.
Do you have the scan result? If yes post the error codes so we can assist with possible fix.

Help

Any advice?
Some ppl offered advice but u kept countering them. Replacing parts with new parts don't guarantee solution. You meed to find the culprit.
1. As suggested, a clogged fuel filter amd pump can make the engine run lean thereby causing that.
2. A dirty throttle body also cam cause vibration while the brake is active.
3. Dirty injectors can cause the vibration e.g misfire which new plugs might fix only for a while.


Do not rule anything out. Get the car diagnosed right. Stop throwing parts.

I have bought 2 tokunboh oil cooler still problem persists. I just flushed the radiator system yet oil still appearing. My mechanic insists the problem is not from bad top gasket (his evidence is that oil in dipstick appears normal and engine idling is normal).
I will try to order a brand new oil cooler from Lagos.
Pls can I get your phone number for easier correspondence?
Thanks

Dear Sir
1 Very difficult to get a technician with world class equipment
2 Can you help me buy brand new OEM oil cooler for golf 4 engine
3 Nope, I didn't flush the system prior to the second failure

Thanks for your response
1. Sir... There was no mention of world class equipment. A cooling system test kit is just a tool box with adapters for applying pressure on the cooling system.
2. I'm sorry i cant help with that.
3. The advice was to flush before after the first fix. Residual mixture of water/coolant and oil in your engine is bad.

Where are you located?

Sir after 2 months oily sludge now appearing again in my radiator reservoir.
If it was fixed after replacement the last time, there is a high possibility the replacement oil cooler has failed too.

Sir I have replaced the oil cooler and changed my radiator reservoir yet the oily sludge still appearing. Though the oil in the engine dipstick appears normal.
What else do I do?
Urgent help needed
Thanks
1. Find a competent technician with a cooling system test kit. Pressurise the system and see if it holds pressure or not. Your head gasket might be blown allowing oil to mix with coolant.
2. The oil cooler you got is used/tokunbo and most likely faulty again. Those parts are known to fail quite frequently. You might need to get a brand new one to save yourself the stress.
3. Dis you flush the system properly the last time?
