Please I need a lasting solution or advice based on who ever has experienced it before.
Am using a vw touran 2005 with an Fsi engine 2.0.
At first I started noticing after 15 minutes drive ,the car will flashing a check engine light and it will be jerking as if the plugs or coils are not working.
But after the scan was done ,it was not a misfire but and (injector 1 cylinder open circuit).
We brought out the injectors and service them and the seem to be fine .
Now we took the Injector 1 and send it to cylinder 4.
Started the car and it ran for 15 minutes and the jerking came back again .we scanned it again and it still showed injector 1 cylinder open circuit again.
Rewire is suggesting we change the ecu brain box that it might be the problem.
Since we check the socket wirer to the injector and it was good and tight.
Rewire is suggesting and ecu replacement..
Please I need help on this issure

Hello good afternoon. Please which good engine oil will be ok for lexus IS 250? Just got one so I don't want to use what'll give me issues. Thanks

ogawisdom:
ok
Do you know any modern mechanic in Enugu dt performs full car diagnosis. i have CEL on too

ogawisdom:
My oil pressure light comes on and off frequently on my journey of about 150miles.

My mechanic has serviced the oil pump.

Note no engine sound change n oil level remain full no change or shortage.

What could be the problem

2004 Corolla, my mechanic is saying we need to change oil switch n maintains I can be driving it like that in the mean time that there is enough oil in the engine

VaselineCrew:
Point taken, I will try to find good used anyway I can for some parts.

Like if the part was taken directly of a used or salvaged vehicle.

It's just hard to trust these market sellers, vs say, buying directly from a DENSO distributor.

These market guys could even try selling you the faulty parts that someone has thrown away from their car as tokunbo.

Thanks for the advice.

VaselineCrew:
I almost spit out my coke reading this, lol.

Men, I’m just thinking, I need my car to be up to spec, like spec bro!

Like, you know how airplane maintenance standards are abi? I’m sure you wouldn’t want to fly in a plane that has been maintained in the hanger with tokunbo or fairly used parts.

I’d like my car to be that way, although for most small testable things I don’t even look at new parts.

Like for my check engine light I bought a scanner for 1,500 from jumia, instead of paying a mechanic 5,000 to scan the car. The scanner told me the bank 2 heater sensor circuit was faulty. Took out the oxygen sensor and ran a resistance test, then I figured I could go used since I could simply run a resistance test on the used part. Problem solved!

However for something like a compressor, it’s hit or miss going tokunbo, it’s not like you can see through to the internals, or see leak spots when buying. Same with a motor mount, you might get a used one with the rubber still looking intact, but the rubber might already be degraded. Then one would be wondering why the problem is still there.

At the end of the day sha, I must admit, it all depends on the availability of funds. If I had extra extra funds right now, I’d buy a brand new compressor and motor mounts and know that I wouldn’t have to worry about those for another 10 years.

You are sure ready to spend all your earnings on parts. Listen to Pearl.

One of the beautiful things about this thread and life generally is that, one way, nature finds a way to give the best advice, or rather good advice. But humans, being human, we like to learn the difficult way. What people go around looking for is validation, and not advice.

If you are on this job. Don't buy cheap, buy quality parts. When quality parts looks like it wants to take you out of business, buy reasonably priced parts, or good used.


No parts person will tell you this. But I will, free of charge. What you often pay more for on very expensive parts are warranties and business running cost, in whatever form they take.

If it is from say, Dealership. If the parts cost price is 50k. Selling price to end user could be 100k. Why? Mark ups, cost of no questions asked when you seek refund(Like you get instant refund if you change mind or part is defective) , business related cost.

You sure won't get a refund from chinedu or baba Nura.

Now, this does not rule out knock of parts.

Also, I smile when people say I buy my parts from amazon, with small shoulder pad and funky feeling. Amazon makes it quality! No. Amazon does not produce parts, it is the same way, buying from konga or jumia. You buying from Another Chinedu and Baba Nura, with amazon fulfilling the order (handling delivery)

My point. Use your Head. No let them help u use am, you already did with the oxygen sensors

Slickleo:
Baz001 see the type of engine oil u dy use.

so today, my check engine light came on while going to my 9 - 5, did a quick scan with my Bluetooth elm dongle.
The result: P0172. It's been giving some symptoms for a week now. So weekend, I'll clean the throttle body, get my Waheed to clean the injectors (Chrisfix way ), inspect the spark plugs and also clean the MAF. Currently, my 24mpg have been compromised . Blackbishop, radautoworks, Gazzuz, themechy, cheerfulgiver and felicity001 and others. Any additions?

Felicity001:
