| Car Talk › Do-you-know-the-symptoms-of-too-much-transmission Fluid by autoxpatpro(op): 9:54am On Aug 02, 2019 |
The main function of transmission fluid is to minimize the frictions between the components in the gearbox. However, it can’t do its job properly when you overflow the fluid container. The response will be a cranky gearbox. Too much transmission fluid forms foam inside the gearbox. The formation of foaming happens when the rotating gears splash in the overfilled reservoir. It triggers excessive temperature and causes a chemical reaction, leading to the creation of foam. The foam affects the viscosity of the oil. For this reason, the fluid does not flow properly through the gears when you shift them. The lack of lubrication will cause the transmission components to overheat, leading to mechanical damage and failure of the transmission. Here are 4 common symptoms you can observe if your transmission is overfilled: Transmission overheating – caused by failure to negate friction Difficult and delayed shifting – due to foamy fluid Appearance of a fluid puddle below the transmission – inspect for leakage on the transmission’s seals Gear Slippage 1 Like

| Car Talk › Stress-behind-wheel by autoxpatpro(op): 10:17am On Aug 01, 2019 |
Stress affects us all at one time or another – whether it’s down to work, home life or a tough situation you’re facing. Stress can affect how we feel physically and emotionally, as well as impair our judgement and our reactions, which isn’t good news when we need to concentrate on something significant, such as driving. It’s important to recognize how you feel and then try to relax yourself before getting in the car.To help you stay calm behind the wheel, if you feel stressed before getting into your car and hitting the road. Here are some tips on what to do: 1. Go for a short walk around the block to get some fresh air and unwind from the stresses of the day. 2. Wait until you feel calm, collected and well enough to head out on your journey. Driving itself can be stressful, especially in rush hour, so if you are already stressed, this is likely to make matters worse. 3. Try mindfulness and deep breathing before getting behind the wheel. You don’t have to be spiritual to benefit from mindfulness and meditation – anyone can meditate and it has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety. 4. If you’re feeling ill from stress with headaches or sickness, make sure you feel well enough before you drive. Drink plenty of water and get some fresh air. Consult a doctor if necessary. 5. Tell someone you trust how you feel. Sometimes, opening up about our problems to loved ones can make all the difference and they can even help you find solutions. As they say, a problem shared is a problem halved.

| Car Talk › How-to-know-your-vin-vehicle-identification-number by autoxpatpro(op): 6:32pm On Jul 31, 2019 |
The only way to accurately determine the year model of a vehicle is to decode that vehicle’s original Vehicle Identification Number, known as VIN, for short. Starting in 1980, most production vehicles carried a VIN that was made up of 17 characters – a combination of letters and numbers. For any of those 17-character VINs, it is easy to pick out the single character that denotes the year model of the vehicle. The VIN is located in multiple places on each vehicle – some easily visible, some purposefully hidden. Above is a photo of a VIN decal that is located in the driver’s door jam. Some VINs are stamped into metal plates that are then attached to the vehicle. Other VINs are stamped into various parts of the vehicle’s structure. To find the character that denotes the year model of a vehicle, start at the end of the VIN. That’s all the way to the right. Now count left 8 characters. That 8th character can be either a number or a letter, but it will tell you what year the vehicle is. Refer to the chart below to determine what character denotes which year(s).

The 1st Made-in-Africa automobile brand. Innoson car manufacture durable and affordable brand new automobiles for Africans. Nigeria is among the biggest consumers of automobiles in the world without manufacturing its own cars. Africa has literally become a dumping ground for foreign used automobiles. We are not second class people that should only drive second hand vehicles. Innoson cars are not just another made-in-Nigeria automobile brand; its the 1st Made-in-Africa automobile brand. 8 years after launch and 10,000 automobiles sold, and are still committed to purpose of eradicating “tokunbo” (foreign used) automobiles from Africa.We deserve better, and it’s not up to the foreigners to change, it’s up to us. When we patronize made-in-Nigeria vehicles, all the money being wasted on importation of vehicles, would remain in the country. We will have more money in our hands to develop our country.

| Car Talk › Symptoms Of Faulty Power Steering Pump by autoxpatpro(op): 12:06pm On Jul 25, 2019*. Modified: 9:28am On Jul 26, 2019 |
The power steering pump directs fluid from the reservoir into the steering gear, which applies the correct amount of pressure to turn the wheels smoothly. There are several symptoms of a bad or failing power steering pump, so if you notice the following, have the pump inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible: 1. Whining noise while turning the wheel If you hear a whining noise while turning the wheel of your vehicle, something is wrong with your power steering system. It could be a leak in the power steering pump or the fluid level could be low. If the fluid level is left this way for too long it can damage the whole power steering system. Either way, the power steering pump needs to be looked at and potentially replace by a professional. 2. Steering wheel slow to respond While turning a corner, if your steering feels slow to respond to the steering wheel inputs you are making, chances are your power steering pump is failing. Along with this, you may also hear a whining noise. If you notice these two symptoms together, contact the professionals at Your Mechanic to have your power steering pump replaced. 3. Stiff steering wheel Not only can your steering wheel be slow to respond, it can also become stiff if the power steering is failing. If your steering wheel starts to feel stiff, your power steering pump may be going bad. 4. Squealing noises when the vehicle starts While whining noises are usually heard when you turn the vehicle, squealing noise come when the vehicle first starts. They can happen when you make sharp turns as well, but they are more likely to happen for a minute as you start your car. The squealing noise will come from the hood of your vehicle, and is a sign your power steering pump may be going bad and causing the belt to slip. 5. Groaning noises Groaning noises are the worst noises your power steering pump can make. They will get worse and worse as your power steering pump continues to fail. If the power steering system fails from lack of fluid it can damage the whole system including the steering rack and lines, and require complete replacement.

| Car Talk › Effect-of-rain-on-the-brake-system by autoxpatpro(op): 2:06pm On Jul 23, 2019 |
The braking system is one of the most important car safety components. A functional brake allows a driver to slow down or stop the vehicle, helping avoid road accidents. However, several factors like water and other elements can affect how a braking system works. It’s important for a car owner to be aware of what these elements do to a vehicle and be able to discern if preventive brake repair are needed. Brakes rely on friction to slow a car down or completely bring it to a halt. Because water can act as a lubricant, driving on a wet surface lessens the brake’s grip, taking more effort to stop a vehicle. With this in mind, it’s not advisable for drivers to hit the road during a rainy day if the vehicle needs brake repairs or other types of maintenance.
