I'd rather buy a new automatic compressor than change to a manual one

When I'm in traffic for a while with the AC on. The AC tends to go off and warm air starts blowing from the AC vents, but when there is no traffic and the AC is on and i am on high speed, the AC stays blowing cool air.

I don't understand what the cause could be

Hello car experts,

Please what do we do about excessive fuel tank pressure for 07 LX470?

When we open the fuel cap After driving the car for more than 10 minutes, the build up pressure is much. When the car parked after driving it for a while, hissing/evaporation sounds can be heard and sometimes fumes can be seen.

We've tried driving around without the fuel cap screwed on but little improvement was seen.

Please any pointers on how to fix this?

Thank you very much.

100ah battery will not fit in your engine bay. Your vehicle was designed for 75ah

Mr Man du-craft is a Nigerian owned brake pad manufacturing company. I don't know what you are talking about. I can send you ducraft customer care number. You can call them and find out if they also make brake discs. You are arguing blindly. I do not argue blindly. Call du-craft brakes on +234 909 927 2537. Same number on whatsapp.

2AZ is known for high oil burn or consumption

It'll be absurd to use that costly oil on the engine not only blc of the weight but how will you be topping coslty oil every week ,you go spend tire na..

@Gazzuzz pls help... my 09 camry is showing P00016 upon scan. Crankshaft positioning, Correlation Bank 1 sensor...

What does this mean?
I changed the shaft for the right leg on saturday.

The only thing i notice about my car is that d movement isn't sharp, a bit lagging before picking up.

The DTC matter taya me. Thanks. Am planning to take it to a tech guy to resolve. Once again thank as I appreciate. Though am not ready to replace the CAT What can I do..

obidevine:


This is the fallacy of the year. Ducraft only manufacturers brake pads.

. As long as your disc rotors do not have scars and grooves and it’s not rusty you can use your rotors on your new ducraft ceramic brake pads. If his rotors are grooved it will eat up your ceramic brake pads

kaze4blues:


Front or back? Which likely to be worn out?

incogni2o:

Codedboy95:
Hello guys, I got a Lexus gs300 last decemeber, I didn't know the car will be that low, the road that leads to my house was very bad and the car has been constantly hitting the floor. So i want to ask, can this damage anything in one month? The road has been repaired now but my car now makes a rattle sound anytime i start it, it is worse if it's the first start of the day.

Second question, the two back tyre rims have black residue on them, it even leaves the black dust on the ground, someone suggests i need to change the brake pad? Is that the case?

Third Question, I want to service my car, previous seller was using Toyota SL SAE 20w/50 ( black keg) but i can't find that same exact one here in ibadan, the closest i found is Toyota SJ SAE 20w/50 ( red keg) can i use that instead? Or can i use another oil ( your recommendation?)

Fourth Question, I did wheel alignment a month ago and since then my afs light has been on, it seems i have to make adjustments to the afs sensor? But most mech here don't really know what that is, what do i tell them to check and where? Or can someone recommend to me a good mechanic in ibadan? Thank you

P.s scanner only shows catalyst converter error code

Hi Gazuuz. Nice job you are doing, having read through this trend and it's the most trend were one can find solution to persistent car issues. Thanks once again.

I use a carmy 04 model v6, 1mzfe.

Pls of recent I got my CEL on, scanned it the codes are
P0300
P0301
P0303
P0305
P0420
P0430

Have changed spark plugs, checked coils (with a multimeter they are okay, even swapped coils, since it's a V6 but I still get misfire codes in the banks 1) changed fuel filter, gotten new air filter, serviced fuel injector, at a time I swapped the fuel injector bank 1 to bank 2 and vice versa.

Still get these codes come up after covering 75Miles.

My kazeem says the car compression is okay,


I don't feel any drivability issues. It's revs well and fires well on the road. My mech even took it for s spin drive and said that the car picks very quickly and well unlike other cars he has driven.

Pls Gazuuz and other car gurus, Autologic and all
I need your help in resolving this issue as am not comfortable with these CEL codes being on.

Thanks

Attached is a pics of the CEL codes.

My toyota corolla 2010 automatic started popping out of transmission during motion. Work was done on it before and it stopped but it has started again. The technicians refused to tell me exactly what he did.

But I noticed the acceleration was not smooth like before after it changes from gear 1 to 2. The gear 2 viberates during motion as if you are using a lower gear.

Presently I can only use it when driving slowly on the street but can't speed up with it.
Any attempt to speed up will disengage the gear though it is on Drive. It will be firing without moving.
Good for street but bad for expressway.

What could be the problem?

obidevine:
Gazzuzz . I've been doing some research on ducraft brakes

What do you think about ducraft brakes?

Eldersege:
Good morning,

Please I want to buy Nisan Murano 2005. The price is good and the car looks ok but I have never used Nisan especially Murano before. My neighborhood requires raised vehicle due to bad muddy road .

The impression I normally get about Murano is the gear that in normally have gear issued like the 2001/4 model of Honda Odesey and how it is very expensive.

Your advice will be most appreciated.

Thanks..

Thanks for the post sir, it was very informative.
I would also like to give my own view on this topic.
Maintaining a car is one of the best way of getting the best out if it, but the reverse is the case here in Nigeria, they always want to spend less maintaining and also get the best out of the car.
One should take his/her car for a preventive or periodic maintainance at least once in a month.
If you want to know more about cars and also want to know how to earn a lot and tons of money from cars.
Hit me up on WhatsApp; 08102802348.
I would be holding an informative class
tonight.

My Honda accord 2006 steering vibrates when I press the brake while driving at speed above 100km/hr.

I changed the brake pads one month ago.

Please help.

Aphex:


Please show me pictures.

vincentjk:


Sorry for the interruption sir but are you talking about catalyst converter?

Didn't know they're this expensive omg

rationalmind:


Story.

I have removed it in one of my vehicles. Fuel economy has improved, gained 1mpg. Engine is not overheating and the vehicle is not experiencing any loss of power. The only thing I agree with is a louder exhaust note but who cares?

I even prefer the new exhaust note especially on startup

rationalmind:


Yeah, probably.

I have a vehicle on the sea coming into the country and I'll be putting up the catalytic converter for sale on arrival.

Will engage the Ogba man for a swap with a spacer. Hopefully, he'll price it right
