GAZZUZZ:
Not at all

My car leaks coolant from the point where the coolant temp sensor is attached to the cooling pipeline system. We used gasket seal maker to plug the hole. Could this worsen the cold start problem? Fuel pressure has been checked and is OK.

Modified: what is the long term complications of this problem is not solved?

GAZZUZZ:
Coolant temp sensor and fuel pressure.

Two main culprits.

I have the same problem. Car starts only on the 3rd attempt. Could cooling fan connected directly to ignition aggravate this problem?

AutoMoTech:
1. Sir... There was no mention of world class equipment. A cooling system test kit is just a tool box with adapters for applying pressure on the cooling system.
2. I'm sorry i cant help with that.
3. The advice was to flush before after the first fix. Residual mixture of water/coolant and oil in your engine is bad.

Where are you located?

I have bought 2 tokunboh oil cooler still problem persists. I just flushed the radiator system yet oil still appearing. My mechanic insists the problem is not from bad top gasket (his evidence is that oil in dipstick appears normal and engine idling is normal).
I will try to order a brand new oil cooler from Lagos.
Pls can I get your phone number for easier correspondence?
Thanks

AutoMoTech:
1. Find a competent technician with a cooling system test kit. Pressurise the system and see if it holds pressure or not. Your head gasket might be blown allowing oil to mix with coolant.
2. The oil cooler you got is used/tokunbo and most likely faulty again. Those parts are known to fail quite frequently. You might need to get a brand new one to save yourself the stress.
3. Dis you flush the system properly the last time?

Dear Sir
1 Very difficult to get a technician with world class equipment
2 Can you help me buy brand new OEM oil cooler for golf 4 engine
3 Nope, I didn't flush the system prior to the second failure

Thanks for your response

GAZZUZZ:
Not sure what your transmission oil cooler looks like but that's a sample.


As for the other 2 options the local term is top gasket and cylinder.


I cannot explain any further, research more or find a humble mechanic.

Thank you. This is similar to my car model. Do you help people procure motor parts? I will like to order a new one. I will upload the pic of the exact type later

GAZZUZZ:
if engine oil (heat exchange) cooler is not the culprit, you have 3 more possibilities.

Transmission oil cooler (heat exchange)

Bad head gasket

Cracked head cylinder.

Thanks
If you don't mind can you further explain what it it entail to fix the 3 scenarios/possibilities you just outlined. Will be much appreciated.

Car is a VW golf 4 2.0 I have been experiencing oily muddy slugge in the coolant reservoir for months now. Note that oil in engine dipstick appears normal. I was adviced to change oil cooler and oil filter yet problem persists. Kindly offer your assistance.

AutoMoTech:
Thats most likely the oil cooler. Its the samr thing we're talking about.
Most likely the faulty part

Sir I have replaced the oil cooler and changed my radiator reservoir yet the oily sludge still appearing. Though the oil in the engine dipstick appears normal.
What else do I do?
Urgent help needed
Thanks

ebuks4ever:
recommended ATF is VW G 052 162 A2

WHERE CAN I GET IT IN NIGERIA

AutoMoTech:
You are welcome.
Ofcourse you are supposed to flush the radiator properly and also change the oil that was mixing with the water.
This is to avoid further damage to the part it lubricates.
Discuss with your Mechanic and pls ensure he uses original oil ooo...

Sir after 2 months oily sludge now appearing again in my radiator reservoir.

Talking as an Electrical engineer, be informed that there are two major type of electricity distribution.
1. Radial Electrical Power Distribution System

In the early days of electrical power distribution system, different feeders radially came out from the substation and connected to the primary of distribution transformer.
https://www.electrical4u.com/images/radial-distribution-system.gif
But radial electrical power distribution system has one major drawback that in case of any feeder failure, the associated consumers would not get any power as there was no alternative path to feed the transformer.[size=9pt][/size] In case of transformer failure also, the power supply is interrupted. In other words, the consumer in the radial electrical distribution system would be in darkness until the feeder or transformer was rectified.

2. Ring Main Electrical Power Distribution System
The drawback of a radial electrical power distribution system can be overcome by introducing a ring main electrical power distribution system. In this topology, one ring network of distributors is fed by more than one feeder. In this case, if one feeder is under fault or maintenance, the ring distributor is still energized by other feeders connected to it. In this way, the supply to the consumers is not affected even when any feeder becomes out of service.

In addition to that, the ring main system is also provided with different section isolates at different suitable points. If any fault occurs on any section, of the ring, this section can easily be isolated by opening the associated section isolators on both sides of the faulty zone transformer directly.

In this way, supply to the consumers connected to the healthy zone of the ring can easily be maintained even when one section of the ring is under the shutdown.

I'm saying all this cos if they want to fix power issue once and for all, they will do it. But corruption and bad decisions will not allow. Imagine appointing a lawyer in 2015 as minister for Power. Anyway that is their business, below is my business

This is an earth shattering piece! Guy you are mouthed

NwaAmaikpe:




I have a cousin whose wife birthed all females and he refused to train them through university...and I am sure this is the same reason most of my uncles also did not train their female children.

The things these traditional men see sitting down, some of us who claim to be super enlightened will never see it even on top of an MTN mast.
But now I see some of it and in retrospect; their decision is so wisdom-driven.

Anna Banner won MBGN in 2012, became a babymama in 2015 and finally became a graudate in 2020.
But she's been living lavish since 2012 without a fvcking BSC degree.

The moral of the story should be very clear for women.
God created them with everything they'd need to excel by themselves in this life.
A rightly utilized good kpekus will take you to places light years ahead of where a university degree will take you.

Please emphasis on "rightly-utilized". You can't be sleeping with Kebiru the welder and expect to have breakfast on a yatch or marry and stick to unemployed Nurudeen the ex-corper out of love hoping one day he'd become the GMD of NNPC.
That's waste of good kpekus in the name of love and love does no good to females.

Who degree epp?
Research and experience has taught us that extra degrees only makes ladies too enlightened, less desirable and ends them up as frustrated feminists.

BASED ON YOUR FORMULA, HOW LONG CAN NEPA LIGHT CHARGE A 200AH INVERTER BATTERY?

BIZZWEALTH:
Nigeria Inverter Buying Guide
Power outages are frequent in Nigeria, and a suitable inverter and battery can be priceless during such events. It can be very frustrating when you are watching your favourite program on TV, and everything suddenly goes black. With an inverter and battery, you can have uninterrupted power supply without the noise and pollution of a generator.

But how do you choose the right ones? Which factors are essential to consider when buying an inverter and battery in Nigeria.

There are thousands of branded inverters and batteries on the Nigerian market. If you choose an inverter and battery combination with the wrong specification for your Use Case, you could end up with a costly mess.

The Nigeria inverter buying guide will arm you with the information you need to make the right choice for your circumstances.

Inverter Type
There are two primary types of inverters available on the market: Modified Sine Wave and Pure Sine Wave. If you wish to power small household appliances like lights, TV,s and fans, Modified Sine Wave inverters are affordable and have high efficiency. They will provide you with power comparable (but not identical) to what you get from NEPA.

If you would like to run larger appliances like a fridge, freezer, AC or medical equipment you should buy a Pure Sine Wave inverter. They are ideal for motor startups, make little or no noise and give power quality equivalent to what you get from NEPA; however, Pure Sine Wave inverter can cost twice as much as an equivalent Modified Sine Wave Inverter

Inverter Size
To choose the right inverter size for your needs, calculate the total wattage of all the electrical appliances you would like to run on the inverter. You will find the wattage of your machine by checking the power rating label located on each device or by reading the user manual and adding up the total wattage. If you wish to keep your total cost down, it is advisable to run only your essential appliances on the inverter. The following is an example:

Equipment Common Energy Consumption in Watts
Laptop 20W
Ceiling Fan 50W
DSTV 20W
Televisions 150W
Desktop Computer 85W
4 Energy Saving Bulbs 60W
TOTAL 385W
We recommend that you buy an inverter twice the size of your total energy requirements so that you have extra capacity and do not run the risk of overloading your inverter.

Battery Bank
Batteries are required to store energy from NEPA, Generator or a renewable energy source, e.g. solarxx panels. Batteries are an essential part of any power backup system, and the performance and longevity of your inverter system will mainly be dependent on the quality of the batteries you use.

The voltage requirements of your inverter will determine the minimum required size of your battery bank. A 12-volt inverter, for example, requires 12 volts and will work if you connect it to a single 12v battery. A 24-volt inverter will require 24 volts, which you can achieve by connecting two 12 volt batteries in series.

Think of a battery like a bucket of energy. It will only hold a certain amount, and no amount of praying and hoping will make it hold more. Battery capacities are given in Ampere Hour (AH), explicitly indicating the inverter’s current supply rate per hour of operation, for instance, a 200 AH inverter battery can deliver 200AH of current for every 60 minutes of activities.

The most common inverter battery capacities available in Nigeria are 12v 100AH and 200AH.

The minimum required battery bank size may or may not be enough to meet your needs. You can determine the correct sizing for your home by using the Mercury Battery Backup Time Calculator following formula.

Amp rating of battery x inverter voltage (assuming 80% efficiency and depth of discharge ) ÷ total load wattage.

Example:

200ah (Amp rating of battery) x 24v (Voltage of inverter) assuming 80% efficiency and depth of discharge ÷ 385 watts (Load) = approximately 7 hours.

The above is the result of a continuous 385 watts load; in reality, the backup time could be increased significantly by managing the number of appliances you have on at any given time. For example, you may decide to only turn on your TV when your favourite programs are on.

Adopting such a disciplined approach could save you a substantial amount of money. You can start with a small battery bank and add more batteries later on if your requirements change. We do not charge for installation, so long as you purchase your system components from mercurydirect.com.ng

My childhood was fun and I wished I never grew up, there is no crazy or bad play that I did not indulge in..

The one I will never forget;
We had local fowls back then, which they can just stop to lay an egg anywhere, one day Me and my cousin came across one trying to lay, so we were curious to know how it will do it, while watching it the fowl started grunting to push it out, my cousin noticed and shouted kai, the fowl stop, after few minutes the fowl tried again we still shouted and it stopped, we continued like that for like an hour till the fowl could not bare it and just decided to lay it at all cost, when it was grunting and we were shouting it didn’t stop until we noticed d egg was coming out, my cousin bent to pick a stone, on noticing the fowl decided to run at us, Na so e pursue my cousin the guy run enter road machine hit d guy, till today he can’t walk well, he is called fowl leg till today

correct fowl leg indeed

OKame:
My father was a disciplinary to the core. I was punished (flogged) for every rule I broke, if not immediately, then when 'my cup became full'. On this fateful day I forget to put off our electric burner and I left for school. Luckily for me there were many power cuts that day so the house did not burn down but the pot of beans I left on the burner got burnt and was pure black.When my dad returned home he perceived the burning smell and asked if I did put off the burner. Guess what, I lied.
The cut the story short, my dad made me eat the burnt beans, allowed me to sleep for two hours, then woke me up..He stripped me naked and told me to lie on the table. He would flog me about 15 strokes and allow me to cry 'rest' for about 10minutes, then I'll climb the table and repeat the whole process again.
I received about 100strokes that day and the scares are still visible on my back till today.
When my mum returned home and saw me, she bursted into tears and a serious quarrel ensued between her and my dad..

Sorry to say this, your Papa na Stone Cold Obi Akpor. Haba! He for kuku kill you end matter. Mtcheew

AutoMoTech:
All things being equal the cooling system is as it should be i.e. coolant temp sensor good, hoses good, thermostat present, radiator not clogged inside etc only issue will be the fan being overworked since it is constantly working.

So just ensure every other thing is good.

God bless you. Where is thermostat located? Esp in a golf 4 2.0L engine? how do I know if it is working

AutoMoTech:
You are welcome.
Ofcourse you are supposed to flush the radiator properly and also change the oil that was mixing with the water.
This is to avoid further damage to the part it lubricates.
Discuss with your Mechanic and pls ensure he uses original oil ooo...

what are the implications of radiator fan constantly on?
