Thanks for all you do, Oga Gazzuzz and all the great minds here.

I have a hard time choosing between these two cars, and I will really like your honest opinion on this;

Toyota Avalon 2005-08; and
Honda Element 2005 and above.

Are they both reliable? I have no issue with fuel or shape. I look forward to your feedback. Thanks

Nurey or HeavenlyBang will be your best best for advise on these car, look for their thread and ask there

Stanleyallen17:
Thanks.
I also forgot to add that a toks complete assembly of the fuel pump was brought and changed with that of the car yet the problem still persists.
How long is the pressure hold supposed to last.
Can a dirty crankshaft position sensor filter pull out p0015.
Can I call you.

I can help solve the slow delay start problem .. Private mail me

GAZZUZZ:
Calm before the storm.

Always watch your engine oil pressure light.

Sludge is destructive, it is never solved by cleaning, you will still have gradual buildup in the strainer which will block oil flow in future.

I least it buys him time, boss can he still get a year use out of it like this?

timileyinoyela:
it has been fixed,the oil pump was dirty so he has to remove it again for thorough cleaning and the oil swamp,and everything is now back to normal,car now runs smooth. Thanks to you all. Oga gazzuzz thank you.

Omo thank God for you, I can imagine forking out 450k for engine at this time... Please always change your oil early, say every 3 month max. Thank God your rings were not affected

GAZZUZZ:
Replace the engine , or you will become a steady client to that mechanic.

Budget ₦450,000 total package

Omo mehn for this buhari era

Reach out to pros nurey or autologic

Yeye osun things

Buy toks if possible

With 150k to 200k you should able to handle gear and labour confidently...

After changing avoid any other transmission fluid apart from Honda genuine transmission fluid.

However if your car is V6 automatic, replacing transmission can be factor in as a routine maintenance item say every 5 years.

Best combo for Honda accord is usual Honda i4 engine and manual transmission, everlasting bulletproof

So nah this man name gazzuzz dey usually mention

Nairaland can dig up any past

CITEH:
Gazzuzz, good morning. Please my Lexus Es330 is having acceleration issues of recent. Sometimes it moves smoothly and fast, sometimes it lags. I will have to step fully on the gas before my car speeds a little.

My mechanic has changed fuel pump, it stopped for a few weeks then started again. He changed notch sensor, the problem still persists.

Kindly proffer a solution if any please.

Start with a scan

GAZZUZZ:
Back to final work on this vehicle.


Let's do a history check .

The post was made December 27 2020 in one of my free consultation threads.






https://www.nairaland.com/1788778/maintenance-tips-cars/257#97459659

I have highlighted the points to note.

Car was fine until engine oil was changed.

I wrote extensively about switching from mineral oil to synthetic oil in this thread .

https://www.nairaland.com/5398483/warning-dont-buy-synthetic-engine

Let me quote my self.



You can read more in the link provided.

Long story short , protective sludge has been removed by synthetic oil.

To stop the smoke , I will use 20w50 engine oil on the engine , it is thicker oil and will not slip passed the oil control rings as fast as 5w20 would . The smoke will reduce to bearest minimum and will eventually stop after prolonged use.

20w50 is not a death sentence, it is not the best for this engine, but it will work.

I will not be tearing down the engine to replace piston rings as the block could be out of spec, this is the cheapest most efficient way of solving this problem at the moment.

Quick one bro, can we say this will be a temporary solution until engine parks up ? Once read some where that 20w50 destroys engines if not oem recommended and that vtec selonoid needs thinner oil. Would high mileage 5w30 have been better soothed in this scenario?

Awesome work... Learning...

Thanks

Wow, Gazzuzz you are genius �� you are the best, I beg e get one airbag issue wey dey worry my car... I don waka go mountain for lekki and Orioke still no solution.... Woli Gazzuz edakun epp mi.

Weakness of 2002 to 2005 Civic was their transmission

Etoo:
Good morning fellow nairalanders.

I'm sorry to bring this up but I have endured so much on the shock absorber of my Toyota camry 98 model, 2.2 litres engine . The shock is low and develops one fault or the other as soon as a replacement is installed.

My mechanic advised we should install the shock absorber from a camry 2.4 litres engine. I need to confirm whether they can fit in on my 2.2 litres engine car or is there any other better way to relieve my spending on the shock absorber.

Kindly advice me on this. Thank you.
