ib4babes:
Please house what could be the problem with my golf4 manual transmission, it gets stuck at the fift gear on the highway and each time this happens I'll need to park yo get it released.
Sounds like faulty shift-seloids usually caused by lack of service on auto transmissions. But at this stage now, just pray ur tranny can be saved. try to get ur tranny scanned to avoid trial n error things.

Car TalkRe: Camry Overheating After Hose Change by DECOtech(m): 11:28am On Oct 02, 2015
dokilolo:
I drive a 2003 Toyota Camry v6.noticed the top radiator hose was leaking 4 days ago nd I took it 2 my mechanic who bought a tokunbo hose nd replaced d bad 1.
problem is since dt time my Camry has come close 2 overheating about 4 times....usually I notice vapor coming 4rm engine area 4rm coolant boiling onto engine components. nd wen dis happens, d reservoir tank is usually almost full.
I have checked d 2 hoses, dy r both hot meaning thermostat is opening. I have filled wit coolant about 3 times only 4 d episode to occur again.
my fans r nt connected directly nd I dd a test which confirms dy com on intermittently wen I idle nd wen engine is hot.
I have already changed radiator cap cos I noticed d rubber on d old 1 is worn bt it still appears lik d problem is there.
prior to this, my car runs fine no overheating, temp mark gets 2 half mark after som minutes of driving. this only started after changing d too radiator hose.
I read online dt I might av air in d system nd I need 2 burp d system. suggestions include opening d radiator cap, running d engine nd increasing car heat den pushing d RPM to 3000+ a couple of times 2 get rid of d air.
my mechanic is saying air shld find its way out on its own nd his pointing fingers at water pump.I dnt bliv its water pump cos everything was fine b4 d hose change.
I need gurus advice before going ahead wit d burping or any intervention.

Tell the mechanic to make sure the coolant system in your car is properly filled with coolant so as to eliminate trapped air in the system

Hello landers,
Pls my honda city, 2006 model, specificaly the first bank model, is not getting into the fifth gear. When I engage my gear 5, it forces itself out just less than 20 meters when it is engaged. Pls I need help. Thanks
Bros, fortunately, its a manual tranny. just drive the car to ladipo and have the case solved in a few hours. but for sake of saving time, get a replacement gearbox. You can find someone who would be wiling to swap a working one with your faulty one and collect some cash from you as compensation for the fault on your own gearbox.

Call me if you are interested, so I can direct you to someone.
TravelRe: Photo Of What I Saw In India . Science Or Magic? by DECOtech(m): 10:19am On Sep 27, 2015
moscow37d:
Fellow nairalander. I was checking out a trend on nairaland of how a guy levitated at Ikeja, that brought about people staring for hours. Later the magic was busted and It was explained that the guy actually sat on a kind of chair that you can not see even with a closer look. That now remind me of what I saw in new Delhi (India ) when I went for a course. It's a huge stone tied to a stick, and the stick is sitting on a glass cup. It amazes me a lot every time I look at this picture. And there is this question that always comes to my mind . Could this be magic or science? Though I don't believe in magic but I need someone who can scientifically proof this to me or else I believe in magic once and for all if there is no proof for it. Thank yoy all.
Take it or leave it, MAGIC IS SCIENCE.

It would be on inconsiderate, wicked, and treacherous for the 95yr old woman to even ask me to do that.

Wetin she wan still dey this world de do wey she never do already?

it does not make sense to spend 9yrs savings on something that has no guarantee up to 20yrs at least.

might think about it if the money cld buy her life for another 200yrs.
FamilyRe: My Brother's Fiancee Is An Ex-prostitute Have Slept With. Should I Tell by DECOtech(m): 9:06am On Sep 26, 2015
seunfunmi33:
In 2012, I was transferred to ibadan. I have lots of girlfriends in lagos and don't want to date any new girl in ibadan, so me and my friend that was transferred to ibadan together became regulars at a brothel. Me and my friend had just 2 customers we patronize.

6 months later (early 2013) I was transferred back to Lagos . After I left, I do invite one of the girls to Lagos because she is too good in bed till I lost her contact when my phone got lost (December 2013).

We all travelled home yesterday due to sallah celebration. I was surprised when I saw my younger brother come with the prostitute in ibadan and introduced her to me as his fiancee. I just stood there not knowing what to do because I was expecting the girl to feel somehow and but she didn't even show any fear. Throughout the day She was everywhere cooking and joking with everybody around there.

I thought she was pretending not to know me but I didn't confront her, so I asked for some of her pix from my brother and sent it to that my friend if he knows the girl and he was quick to tell me that's the girl I do bleep in ibadan. But when I told him of the relationship between my brother and the girl, he told me to tell our parents and my brother so they can cancel the relationship that the girl isn't worth it.

Now am confused, I don't know if the girl is pretending or she doesn't recognize me anymore because of her numerous customers. I don't know if I should tell my brother or just keep quiet. Advice me pls
Please don't hesitate to open up now before its tool late.
Car TalkRe: Ideal Alternator Belt For Honda Pilot by DECOtech(m): 8:30pm On Sep 25, 2015
camry2008:
Hello good people of NLers, suggestions and advise is urgently needed on the above subject matter, I have replaced broken bolt of the alternator three times in one month, the recent one that happened was yesterday and the broken bolt cannot be removed without bringing the engine down, the mechanic don't even know the actual cause of the problem, someone suggested that the size of the belt may be the problem, pls what is ur take on this
you either your mech has been using the wrong kind of bolt or the wring belt size. a smaller belt size will put more tension on the said bolt.

Car TalkRe: Help: Volkswagen T4 Auto Transmission Stuck In One Gear by DECOtech(m): 11:22pm On Sep 09, 2015
Fixed:
Van Spec:
1993 Volkswagen T4 (Eurovan)
Mileage: 170k miles
Engine 2.5ltr, petrol
Transmission: Automatic
My location: Abuja

Background: The van was purchased just this week from Berger by a brother of mine whom I thought could do a detailed inspection, purchase, and deliver to me in Abuja. Apparently, he got a very clean van, too clean for its age which I like. However the van runs on only 1 gear and he said he didn't realize it until he had moved very far from Lagos and this was the following day after purchase. The bus came to Abuja without any issue on the way. The van looks good and I drove it today. Surprisingly I seem to want to keep it hoping the issue can be fixed. I have called the dealer and he said we will talk tomorrow as he sounded so surprised that a van could get to Abuja in good time and yet I am claiming the gear is faulty.

My observation: It appears the gear is permanently stuck in 3 though I may be wrong. There are no shift points. It idles at around 750rpm and takes off sluggishly from 2500rpm. It does not achieve 100-110km/hr until around 5000rpm which is just below the redline. Even though the top speed is 220km/hr, any attempt to go beyond 120km/hr will redline the engine.

I took the engine to a Volkswagen mechanic who observed that the connectors on a particular gear cable was dirty and he cleaned it with a carburetor cleaner and reconnected it. After a test drive, the transmission shifted for the first time but very roughly. Then it returned back to the 1 gear system from rest. The transmission oil sump showed its been opened not too long ago and the oil looks clean though I am not sure of what brand/type in there. I am not sure if starting from oil change will pay off. There are tons of information on T4 forum unfortunately hours of research has not paid off for me.

Also the power steering is not as light as I expected, is this normal please?

Any suggestions on what to do or any reputable VW mechanic (not Kazeem) in Abuja?
when a vehicle speed sensor doesn't communicate well with the ecu/TCM, the transmission will hardly shift gears. since the van isn't obd2 compliant, a scan can be achieved only with a VW obd1 scanner or within high end scanners that are equipped for both obd 1 & 2 diagnosis.
Car TalkRe: Help My Peageot 307 Not Starting by DECOtech(m): 11:11pm On Sep 09, 2015
opebiyi14:
Somebody help!!! I bought a used 2008 Peugeot 307 sedan from a company some months ago and ever since it has become a nightmare for me. The windscreen of the car was broken when I bought it and that is all I thought I would replace. Unfortunately, I fell in the hands of a wrong Mechanic, who cut the timing belt after several try and error. This was fixed by another mechanic, but on my way home the car started to overheat and the gasket burnt. This was fixed by another mechanic but whenever I started the car I had to leave my leg always on the accelerator. At this point I went to scan it and the electrician said I needed to set the timing. The mechanic couldn't fix but I was able to find a Peugeot Mechanic who fixed it. The car started but I didn't drive it to far. Later when I did, I realised the car only moves normally for some minutes before it starts going with a speed of 10km/h irrespective of how much you press the accelerator. The phone number of the earlier Peugeot Mechanic is not available since then, so another Peugeot Mechanic was described. I drove the car from Ajah to Lekki gently but this new mechanic collected the key from me and drove speedily to his workshop. Few meters away from his workshop the car stopped and has not started since then. The mechanic has checked the injector, the fuel pump, the timing and every other places, but he said there is nothing wrong with the car. I called two electricians to scan the car. One said it was timing and the other said it was ECU(brain box). I need an expert in d house to help me out
pls leave the ECU alone. the timing is the problem.
