I am not the regular car user, i am quick to change any faulty parts or give the car premium attention. I use the recommended Oil and the coolant

so on a large note, i can see i spend a lot on the car maintenance than the regular joe. meanwhile the car is back ontrack now, apparently all the spark plugs were changed and car is back to normal

Hello everyone,

I recently installed an AC in my 2005 Toyota Camry, but I’ve noticed that the car vibrates excessively when the AC is running. While trying to diagnose the issue, the engine began making a rattling/grinding noise, and now it shuts off immediately after starting.

Has anyone experienced this before, or does anyone have suggestions on what might be causing these issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I fixed my car AC today,got the whole 4 plugs replaced with new plugs (not used/tokunbo plugs) but on my way back I keep perceiving fuel smell inside the car, please how do I resolve this?

kingreign:
Yes, it's possible. Pls send a message 07034581213

Follow the step in this link. https://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/15548-2012-dead-battery-procedure/

If you have someone who has the appropriate scan tool and want to reprogram the BMS, it's OK. If not, follow the steps in the link. Leave car undisturbed for 8 hrs after installing the new battery and you should be fine.

The storyline is that when the old battery wqs getting dead due to battery juice running dry i began to receive check charge error messsge but i didnt throw in on battery, i was attacking alternator which turns out the guy was innocent with 13.5v output. So i bought new battery but error charge wont go away. 10amp was recommended and I continue to struggle with the check charge error even after I changed the battery. However, i didnt do any reprogramming, My rewire put 15amp which stopped the charge error but I asked it to be removed and follow recommended fuse rating calculation. After we removed it and put 10amp, the error message resurfaced. At this point I can't continue to stop and restart car as I used to do which was my self help to help clear the error message that will later pipped up after 5km drive was the reason I settled with the 15amp. However, The battery there is 75amp 12v ford edge v6 2011 the bigger size

What car are we talking about here?

Please stop. All cars have at least a fuse for the alternator, does not mean all cars receive voltage regultion command from the ECU.
You drive a BMW and I understand your obsession with this because it's compulsory, but not all cars require this.

9icetoo:
Upgraded?

What fuse rating was there before?
What was the recommended fuse rating?

Which car is this?

9icetoo:
What make, model and year of car is this?

The answer to this question will determine the appropriate esponse.

However, see below.

Generally, if you are reinstalling the same battery, you do not need to reprogramme.

But for cars that do not require reprogramming (and yes there are multitudes of them), you don't need to bother yourself.

jceesquare:
In the context of the discussion, you do not need to reprogram your battery management system (if your car is equipped with one) when you disconnect the negative terminal.
You should reprogram when you replace an old battery with a new one so the ECU commands the alternator to charge it properly.

I am pretty sure you got the gist. I am not a car mechanic, however I'm a DIY enthusiast and a Fluid Engineer. If you have even a basic Scan tool that can program, you will notice there is a battery and BDM programming. The thing is people like you don't listen and don't learn and everything is a joke to you. Now you are trying to sound sarcastic when you aint even remotely close.
To your question Every car that has a smart charging unit should be programmed if not the charge unit will charge the New battery as if its the old one, this is the simple reason you should.
Personal Experience's cars need a full charge of 12,50 plus V to enable programming fru the OBD port, if your formal battery can only reach 12.10V which is Ok to drive ,your smart charging unit is learned to charge to just that. When you eventually buy a newer battery, its still gong to be charged up to12,10v,so OBD programmer needs minimum of 12.50 Volts to do anything, at this point you wont be able to do anything.
But anyway what do I know sef.Guy good luck

Can't trust specs on Temu.

Use clean tap water. Mix with concentrate, nothing do you.

sammily:
My little advise to you, don't use tap water on your radiator or tubular batteries, better stick to distilled water or carefully collect air-conditional water and use.

jceesquare:
Go to Karcher show room on the Island and buy from then

erico2k2:
Answer is yes all 50/50 means 50% concentrate and 50% water

erico2k2:
This was the reason I said Tap water, do you have salt water running from TAps? answer NO,
The problem with Lekki is Ammonia contamination with ground water hence the rotten Egg smell.
and to your question the answer is NO. the 50/50 ready mix is water plus concentrate, clean water.
But I'm sure you got the gist now though. In Nigeria too much fake, I will trust mixing water with concentrate in my Engine instead of 50/50 ready Mix, I don't know what Nigerians had mixed. I bought 20 ltr of Concentrate from the UK,I use it for al my car
PS regards bringing gun to a knife fight that was funny I am a fluid Engineer so this is my bread and butter if that makes any sense.

erico2k2:
And you think with this statement you are smart ?Do you know the reason Anti freeze is used in the west??
Besides the coolant you buy is meant to be mixed with water that is if you bought an original Coolant.
You can check if you bought an original one by simply putting it in the freezer, if it freezes, you bought rubbish, it is not meant to freeze.
In the Nigerian factor the only benefit of antifreeze/Coolant is corrosion and less likely to evaporate due to overheating.
So Bross, once you have that 1ltre of the blue stuff, the rest is water.

erico2k2:
Stop using water
