Your mechanic was not honest.

This happens alot

Brightgem:
Sometimes I look at the crop of people on Nairaland and understand why most of them never grow and remain at the same level of thinking. If your mind does not grow you will not do better, nor think better. In a recent post on Anita Okoye, many sick men on that post only had sick things to say about her, because of a picture with her kids, and how female divorcees just want to cash out, but will eventually realize no man is perfect after trying different men. A lot of those men don't want to be accountable even in their own personal lives,hence they make these kinds of statement online and it's the audacity for me of speaking about people in a manner as though you know them and lived with them. Like you know the pain, the hurts, the work put in to make it work.

Divorce is never easy anywhere, often times. Before a divorce happens, most times there has been a lot of effort put in ESPECIALLY by the woman, they'll pray, beg, tolerate and one day just know there's nothing more they can do. In these marriages, it is the men that often need to do better, but will always feel they can get away with anything, especially when they think they have means, or fame, until a certain period in life and they look around, they look back and truly see what matters, often when it is too late.

I pity women who see some men make the kinds of comments they do online and still go on to marry such men. Your suffering is going to be pro max, because they have showed you the workings of their minds and you chose to be blind to it.

Stop speaking with so much audacity over things you don't understand. You pick your phone and type very wicked and vulgar things over the lives of others, because you are a simp hiding behind a device.

Brake Goes Flat After Driving For A While

Brake system is an essential part of a car and crucial to the safety of the occupant. When you start having brake issues then you need to to involve a certified technician.

Had a car with brake system issue, at first start anytime of the day the car drives normal and the brakes acts normal, but after driving a few blocks the brake system start gripping and brings the car to a halt if you don’t press the gas pedal. But once you put pressure on the gas pedal and force it to move few blocks again the brake pedal floors out/ goes down totally and you have to bring it to a stop by using the parking brake.

Brake System Components

ABS Module
Wheel Speed Sensors
Brake Booster
Disc Brakes
Drum Brakes
Emergency Brake
Master Cylinder
Brake Pedals

Symptoms of A Failing Brake System

Brake Light On on the instrument cluster
Squealing or Squeaking Noises when applying the brake
Grinding Noises.
Wobbling or Vibration When Braking.
Leaking Fluid.
Spongy or Soft Brakes.
Car Pulling to One Side When Braking.
Burning Smells

Possible Solution

In our own situation we had a soft brake pedal and brake light also the ABS indicator was on. But in conclusion the ABS module was replaced also the master Cylinder was replaced

As a matter of fact. I’d like to support him financially should it get to that. What I hate most in life is seeing struggling people being oppressed by their so called partners.

I just started reading the back and forth today and if not for possibility of getting a ban, if I reply that other guy. He would regret being on Nairaland. What nonsense! Playing “god” over a dead 2003 Corolla. Car wey some men dey dash out here in Abuja at giveaway price.

You gave someone a car on Hp and you want him to borrow you the same car for 2 weeks? Where on earth does that happen? All of a sudden you now remembered he didn’t go for inspection because he declined your request?

On Sunday you’ll go to church and be casting and binding invisible demons not knowing you yourself you’re the oracle of demonic forces. And you said you have a child? Be careful not to bring undeserved curses on your family. Because karma never forgets.

Even if by chance you flex your muscles and retrieve this car, his sweats will speak for him. Because I know justice in this country is to the highest bidder.

This is why I keep saying most Nigerians are naturally wicked. Na why we get the most useless leaders on earth.

Rubbish!

Bro I don't like to get involved in matters like this bcuz I like to seal up when some matters arises and just ignore and move on.... 1 thing I don't support is calling DJ names or referring to his car as worthless or shitbox or anything. Bro we be guy men money is not easy.... At this point I thought you guys should declare No Victor No Vanquished. No be say una go dey put petrol for fire....


Omopena no mind most of them here ooooo make dem no do you M.K.O style.... Call your oga and talk to him the way you spoke to him when you wanted the vehicle initially and apologise to him with a bottle of wine and end case. Cuz nobody dey go court come back turn padi

Burchester:
Nothing. The mechanic just removed it. Claiming it will hold the camshaft stronger.

Lol lol lol they have permanent your camshaft... And the novice you just watch as they spoil your car in front of you sir.... So sorry baba

Burchester:
The Allen key on camshaft actuator was changed with screws.

What happened to the original one on it?


And boss that is a Camshaft Gear...

An actuator is a device that produces a motion by converting energy and signals going into the system. The motion it produces can be either rotary or linear. An example the camshaft actuator you will likely know as OCV or camshaft sensor.

And funny thing is that if your mechanic by chance permenant your camshaft bro the CEL will continue to show

Burchester:
Okay will do that. Do you recommend I check the camshaft. As my camshaft allen key were replaced with screws. ??

Do you have a picture of what you are talking about?

RPM Revving Higer at Idle After Driving For A While, D-Light Blinking

When a car start to rev at 3000 at idle when driven for either short or long distance then it becomes an issue, especially when your kazeems have adjusted and readjust your throttle body multiple time and they don’t seems to get to the issue. Also the D light was always blinking making the gear shifting to be hard and jerks.

Hi Blackbishop, my Corolla 09 has VSC and Traction lights blinking always, Check Engine light is on, ABS is on since the last time I changed one of the driving shafts and the TPMS sensor is on too.

I've scanned the code some time ago and I can't remember the error I got.

What could be the possible issue?

Just scan the ABS and you should have a one or more of the wheel speed sensor faulty and the ABS module like to be affected. Just check

Car Hesitating To Accelerate

Toyota Camry with an issue of hesitating before moving, not until the gas pedal was floored before it jumps and start moving normal but anytime you slows down to move is always the whole process again.

Here are the the components I check and serviced and the Plugs were replaced to be ahead of the situation;

The Fuel Pump Assembly
The Noozle
The Coil on Plug
The Plugs
The Air Filter

From my observations I discovered at idle the car doesn’t rev more that 3000 RPM. Which canbe a symptoms of a couple of things, but since we are dealing with hesitation my focus was more other fuel assembly which was too diety and the tank too was dirty. I decided to replace the fuel filters and the plugs and went ahead to service the noozle.

After putting all the components back the car was back to normal, the driving was smooth

Dear Nairaland Expert,

Please I need your help concerning Lexus RX330 ( 2005) Gear issues. I got a Tokunbo Gear from a Nairaland dealer user name (Iykecollins1).

He gave me his mechanic to fix the gear and recommend Toyota transmission fluid

( Bought at N25,000 each). Bought 2 Gear oil from him also.

His mechanic sent his boys to install the gear. But the gear will only move when cold and only shift at R.

So I called him .He ( Gear seller) referred me to an electrician which insist my Brainbox is not good. He changed the brainbox, but still same issues. Paid heavily ( N160,000) for this also
So far money spent on this gear


I also called a service of a nairaland expert for scan ( Scan code : P0771).

The dealer and the electrician requested I sent the car to ladipo ( My greatest mistake).

Car was sent to Ladipo and Gear switch sensor was discovered broken, and was changed, Car will move but jerk, sometimes gear will slip, rescan and comes with Code P0776 and P0746.

Dealer advice to remove Gear filter. Meaning gear should be install without filter.

Please I will need advice how to fix the issue. Park presently park at sango ota.

Note : Until now only the mechanic and electrician that work on the Gear came from him. Gear bought as Tokunbo, seems this guy Warranty is mere words.
He gave guarantee of 1 week, but Gear issues started second day to the warranty which I notified him.

I thought the issue has been rectify, cuz all the codes up there are pointing to the Valve body of the gear.

As much I don't want to comment on some stupid wanna be blogger like you, now must you add ifeanyi death to your topic?

Like me opening a topic now, how you turn out fine even though your father ran mad when you were young and how your mother sleeps with anything in trousers

RuneKingThor:
I would be going for a scan tomorrow. I'd post as soon as I have it.

Still waiting

RuneKingThor:
How were you able to sort this out? I'm having similar issues.

Did you run a scan? If you did what are the fault codes? Let me start from there

Honda Pilot Stuttering

It’s been a while now, work and life has been the excuse.

Honda Pilot was brought in after “KAZEEMS” has dealt with the owner, in fact it was towed in because the engine has been dismantled. I asked for work history on the car and I was made to understand that it takes alot of effort on the gas pedal to climb the slightest hill.

After changing Coils, Plugs, Noozle, and also checking the catalyst for blockage which is possible if it was handled properly by the KAZEEMS right from the onset by running a proper diagnosis.

I started putting the car back together and running the car to understand the symptoms and running a comprehensive diagnosis was straight forward with P0300 and some other codes related to the rock arm switch.

I started by checking the Coils and plugs to be sure and servicing the noozle also I decided to check the fuel pressure and replacing the fuel filter and cup filter in the tank.

But from experience I knew the code P0300 is a random/ multiple cylinder misfire and rocker arm issue is likely the culprit here throwing the code up. I replace the rocker arm switch and the car was back to normal.

Note: Paying extra for a comprehensive diagnosis will save you cost and time wasting and guess works.

Where is your workshop located

samutd4u:
Thanks for your reply sir, please how can I fix it and there’s black smoke coming out from the exhaust

Like I said if its sludge then just continue to use your engine with peace till it pack up. But if it was soot run a scan and prolly will have an oxygen sensor issue

samutd4u:
Ok thanks how can you run the scan or do you need to see the car

I need to see the car

Drazman:
My camry 05 is giving me issues.
1. Battery runs down very fast after turning off the engine for say 5 to 10 minutes. The person I bought the car from said the battery was recently bought. I had the kick starter serviced, also the alternator charges the battery while the engine is on but the issue persists.

2. The brake is a mess. I will need to press the pedal very very down before braking. My mecho has done bleeding and reset but the issue persists. Also the hand brake does not work.
Please what could be the causes and remedies?

Your number 1 issue, it will be helpful to run a drain test.

2. Likely issue might be the ABS. Until a proper diagnosis is done.

Cuz in some cars if the caliper on the left side is switch to the right side, bro it will never work well or if the brake master as they call it is faulty.... Just running a proper diagnosis will save you cost

samutd4u:
Thanks for your reply sir, please how can I fix it and there’s black smoke coming out from the exhaust

Bro until l run a proper scan my answer might not be definite

samutd4u:
Good pm , please what happens if a car's engine oil turns black immediately an oil change. Toyota Camry 00 6plugs

Sludge or soot

Samafroxy22:
I was almost a victim of this damage, but thank God ~I was not far from home that day. The dashboard showed low oil, but I overlooked it thinking it's triggered as an error; I was 2-3 miles away from home. On getting to my gate, I highlighted to open the gate, and that was when I heard that clanking sound coming from the engine. I immediately open the gate and parked, as the remaining oil drained out overnight... I could not sleep that night. Called 2 mechs I know to put my mind at rest that the engine is not gone yet... But with their neutral answers, I started checking online for price of a 2GR engine... It was around 500-600k... I waited ontill the next morning to know my fate.

The mech found out where the leak was from, it was a Sunday morning, so we used a temporary hose before I changed to the new metal one....
I was happy to found out my engine is still in good shape after getting another oil (buying another 6ltrs oil for the second time in 2 weeks) lol.

Thank God

It is a killer thing

Burchester:
do you have the picture of the "Weight"

Google thrust bearing and you will have idea of what he was talking about

DrWhizy:
Boss, I scanned an 08 Honda Civic and these codes came up; kindly advise please

P0400. EGR system leak detected
P0404. EGR valve circuit range/performance problem
P0455. EVAP system very large leak detected
P0353. No 3 cylinder ignition coil circuit malfunction
P0457. EVAP system leak detected/fuel full cap loose or missing
P0497. Evaporative emission (EVAP) system low purge flow detected

It seems like EGR and EVAP are the main culprits
