I asked previously the year of your Civic and you didn't answer. If you are using the seventh generation, service your iac valve and throttle body.

Ok boss thanks, its Toyota matrix 2009

Web3poisedon:
Exactly, but I did mine completely yesterday

I was credited and it was wiped off

How do I contact customer care to log a complaint

On the driver app

tipsy242:
Thank you. I recently just begin to notice it. The compressor is a tokunbo but been using same since about a year now. What is the most common cause of this?

You problem could just be a recharge issue and you will be fine.

See an AC tech to help check and recharge if its low on freon.

Jst make sure your Radiator/condenser fan works well. Its good to run those personal check ocassionally as a driver

Guys Bolt is killing me

I accepted the promotion for 10 rides , yesterday drove all day to meet the target. Ended with 11 rides

Later at night, target was met and the bonus was credited to me.
I went to bed and this morning and my ride has been changed to 9, the whole bonus cleared and wiped out.

Plus, what do I do ?
Can someone also provide the official email to contact them because the one I sent the email to is not delivering.

My own bonus starts tomorrow midnight, check that the date is correct. Except they have different bonus for diff drivers

My car struggle to accelerate mostly when my AC is on. Mostimes when i slow down, and i attempt to accelerate again, there is a kind of lagging when i accelerate unless i press the throttle very hard. All of these happen mostly when the AC is on. When it's not on, the acceleration is fine, it doesn't struggle to work...
Car is Honda civic 08 model, any possible solution??

Did you just noticed this behaviour?

Is your car using the right OEM compressor made for the car model?

If yes, you might also be experiencing slow cooling at idle on hot afternoon.

Symptoms are that when u reach Traffic light the pressure from compressor to Condenser builds up and makes the compressor hard to turn, so when you intend to resume acceleration this would also affect cause engine has to work hard to roll the compressor from idle.

solasola:
Whao. I like this. You are a bad guy. With the way you are going, you go bad pass 90% kazim AC techs. Since it doesn't trip at high speed, i feel it may be related to the pressure in the ac system itself. I dont have deep knowlegde, but let the knowledgeable ones talk.

Dont call me Kazeem, call me Wasiu AC Tech

solasola:
I feel a good car ac should trip and start at intervals. But not within seconds. Thats the work of the thermostat. If your car is not overheating, no much problem, you may have a faulty ac thermostat. And as per rpm increasing, there should be a slight change in the level when your ac goes off, but it should not be that noticeable

Yeah boss, i think its a condenser heat exchange issue, i have been brainstorming with chatgpt & Deepseek since. Its a new condenser so i cant says its bad

I have a Guage to check AC psi, if the inside fan is 4 speed the AC works harder and the PSI increases to 42 above which will cause that RPM fluctuation issue at idle or traffic.

But immediately i reduce the Fan speed to 2 or 1 it makes the low side drop to 30 psi and the Compressor works normal no issue.

I think i need to drain and refill gas on a hot day with Fan on 4 speed, then recharge the AC to trip off at not more than 35psi on speed 4 without pouring water on condenser to cool it. So when i reduce the fan speed(3,2 & 1) it will even become cooler at different fan speed since my system is tuned to 35psi at highest speed(which is the best airflow to quickly remove heat in hot cabin)

Pouring water to achieve cooling while recharging will give issue later when condenser is left with only fan to regulate/cool temperature in traffic.

But will a bad thermostat give such issue because at constant drive or speed it doesnt give such issue?

My observation so far

depure:
Check the fan very well it's faulty

I don change fan motor, i also made sure i check other corolla fans when i go mechanic side to see if they blow alike. I guess na heat buildup inside engine bay, because when i on am this morning with bonnet opened e work fine no rpm fluctuation, the RPM fluctuation start when i was recharging the gas weeks ago, i thought it would stabilize later but this problem comes back in traffic now.

I go try other diagnosis sha make i no go dey change parts wey no be the problem. Thats the real waste of money

Jegheter:
Bolt clearly makes provision for that. I mean using AC or not. By their clearly stated categories. Dey won't frown if a rider complains of AC in regular bolt but renegotiating fares can get u blocked.

Indrive no send anybody. Na u and rider go sort una sef

Better days ahead Chief

People will always see AC as part of the service when they order rides regardless of the category.

cyif2003:
Check ur compressor, e fit done dey lose pressure. Also check ur coils and spark plug.

Coils & Spark plugs dey okay

I get 4 extra spark plugs and coils each, cos i do maintenance myself.

Na this AC i never sabi how e dey work well, still learning about Car AC. maybe i go change compressor again sha, this time new one i no dey buy tokunbo wey i no sabi the history abeg.

I just changed the compressor when muslim fasting end

Abeg wetin fit make AC dey blow well when you dey drive on constant speed and also blow well when you just on am at idle. But if you leave am at idle for long e go start dey trip off and on within seconds

Same thing if you have been enjoying the AC and you immediately stop at a 5mins traffic it will start raising and dropping engine RPM.

New condenser bought, Radiator fan working, new expansion valve.

You cant renegotiate on Uber & Bolt, wicked riders go too report your account. Just cherry pick your rides on Uber, Bolt & Indrive.

I use all 3 apps differently at different positions/timing

This morning when i came out of my street na shitty prices with long pickups full Uber. After rejecting 7-10 trips around 5:30am i vex on Indrive see better rides.

So na timing and positioning. Uber & Bolt will always try to use Driver head to break coconut feed Riders .because na riders dey bring the money, na you go wise not to slave for them

taxiappguy:
Guys please what are you doing to adjust in these dangerous times. I only just started not using AC for Bolt riders, unless Comfort before I on AC. Is anyone renegotiating prices? Because as it is I don tire, my car don spoil I come dey find money to repair am like say no be money wey I make from bolt I suppose use.

There's this thing that comes with spraying your car and keeping it clean, they just suddenly want you to wait for them, ask for your availability for other future trips and all. But if your car is bad In terms of presentation, they just can't wait to get off and be on their way

Even as a car owner/driver if you car is in bad shape you cant wait to park it and rest from the wahala

Westlife007:
Moving man met his luck today..a female rider (late 50s) ish on bolt comfort from Lekki phase 1 to Lagos Marriot ikeja gave me 100k extra today just for waiting 2hours for a stop at palms shopping mall. All these while I have been suffering myself on indrive until I repainted my 2012 Honda Civic and got my bolt inspection done last week. Indrive will never see my brake light again. Tomorrow we go again. God is Good.

Make God barb me this style too, abeg

Kumuyiii:
I don stop recently, couldn't care less honestly, if edon bad, I go raise am myself with my other phone, order rides below 1500, end and rate, commit 3 days to it, shikina, I'll no longer be a slave of no rider, you do anyhow, you see anyhow, end of.

One Kumuyi na Holyman of God, see wetin the other Kumuyi dey do

Abeg who know the least year/model of Car wey Uber dey collect?

capetownboyz:
As a driver are you meant to help a rider carry they load unto your vehicle ? Except age factor …This increase in fuel price again .

If they need your help why not? Not errand boy kind of help

Jegheter:
Omo that ur last statement very petty but i love it . Na so me sef dey do. I go trace d ride wey no rate me so I reply in kind abi.

Na so one rate me low say her life was in danger cause I refuse to put on AC on ur shitty price. Me wey no send

Life in Danger because of no AC indeed

Eazilyfe:
Boss see LagRide price as e huge compared to Bolt, because Lagride hardly gets 3rd party vehicles and they know its expensive to maintain or fuel car. Why Bolt, Uber dey use Drivers head to satisfy riders? Thats the issue because People will adjust. Fewer Trips with better fare is better than driving about causing damage to car and drivers overworking

I told a rider yesterday when he entered and immediately request for AC. You saw SELECT option on Uber which says comfortable cars you no order u con pick Uber X the lowest. I told him Point black "BRO AC IS NOT PART OF MY SERVICE, IF YOU NEED PREMIUM SERVICE YOU WOULD HAVE PICKED UBER SELECT"

All foreigners and Big men & Women i have picked use Uber SELECT

Kumuyiii:
let's focus on the fuel matter at hand and solution, majority dey use fuel.

Dangote add 75 naira again. I dont think think there's hope again ooo...

You wey get Double cylinder CNG

Glithronix:
@the bold - Omohh, this is funny. 🤣


Much respect, baba.

E no funny baba, one day asai dey end one drop-off trip dem send me trip to lekki as i reach round about to enter airport back naso the person Cancel. If to say i don climb parking and collect card naso i for lose N3500 like dat

Eazilyfe:
Airport pickup for Local airport na stress, from driving up that building u go come dey find where to park, jst pray your rider no get mood swing cancel coz you have one hour to leave the parking (N3,500 which Uber add to the Fare) every other hours you use na you go pay from your pocket.

Additionally, u go need find your rider when you park

One man wey book me as i drop person off last week, he was really begging me not to cancel. With the stress and when dem clamp two vehicles for my front i cancel drive out ni

If problem come most riders will leave you and find their way

Jegheter:
I no dey ever do airport pick up. Tried that last some years ago. But drop off is allowed

I don’t if it is just me ,the motivation to keep getting more jobs done on this app keeps declining , though I’m facing some emotional stress and I’m prioritizing rest for a while now ..But not getting past 3/4 trips in day and averaging 30k or less makes me worried ..I’m not pushing myself hard enough though coupled with this fuel economy that adds to it ,with little profit to take home and not many juicy trips ..I hope it gets better in coming months ..

I think you still need to find your way or pattern of working else it will just bore you and motivation will die, when i started late jan i felt so too until i studied the Uber/bolt map and draft a working strategy/route for myself not just going to anywhere Apps sends me.

I take 1-2 days off every week, make car and body rest. Those days off are for maintenance and fixing i noticed in the car

tobby98:
I once heard someone said he was tipped 50k here, I usually don't believe Nigerians are that generous till it happened to me this night. Took him from Oniru to VI. Trip of 6500 on Bolt Comfort, he paid 20k and asked me to wait, I usually don't like waiting for passengers due to how it usually turn out to be and I dey chase bolt trip bonus but my instincts just kicked in that if this guy fit pay 20k, he seems a generous person also the quality of his conversation all through his phone conversation. After waiting a while I took him to Bourdillion, then straight back to his place in Oniru. Naso baba run me 50k extra. I wish person fit dey meet people like this everyday or atleast twice a week.

Lol on several ocassions people dey tip, some will tip you for waiting even after Uber/bolt will pay you. No such thing in Indrive u dont get paid for waiting or delay. Anybody wey tip me even N500 extra i dey appreciate am die.

The other day some ladies tipped me 35K in chevron, she had previously sent 50K to a wrong acct. She still insist on tipping me another 35K without vexing. I no knw wetin to talk dat day.

SMGGroup:
Have resolved it after scanning. Na sensor wey I later change. Thanks a lot

Imagine, dem for go loose your gear say make u change engine sef

cyif2003:
Good morning. Pls drivers coming from coastal road heading to d intersection where d coastal road starts (eko hotel intersection ) should please slow down when apporaching it. There was a very serious accident last nyt at dat junction. A speeding car from coastal road rammed into a car at dat junction. Both cars were damaged. Repairable but very badly damaged... Dat spot dey chop people carbon a steady.

Why person go speed when intersection dey ahead? Those drivers on the island are the most reckless i hv ever seen in a while.

From 7pm its difficult to drive on lekki epe express, you have to be very vigilant and always aware by checking your side mirrors every second else person fit bash you from overspeeding and na the same road korope and danfo full, those ones go enter express before dem look side mirror thats even if the vehicle has one.

SMGGroup:
Boss dem in the house, I've been following on the sidelines for a while now. Pls I need a little help from those that use a 2007 Honda Accord for this job. My car just stopped responding to the throttle. Like when you press it down, it raises the engine but doesn't move. Pls have anyone experienced this issue before and how did you get it fixed. Thanks a lot

You might have ignored this for long before it probably get to this stage, meet a mech to scan the check engine light you see on your dashboard. Then start your diagnosis from there before you shuck hand for anything

SHOOPSYN:
Is not a good experience

The passenger i wan carry dey ask me "OGA ARE YOU SURE THERE IS FUEL IN THIS CAR"

Na woman sha
