Car TalkRe: How Can You Tell If A Car Has Overheated In The Past? by EngRichie: 9:00am On May 03, 2022
The obvious way to tell are few or non-existent. You can detect if a neat job wasn't done when you look at the top gasket lamination between the engine block and the top cylinder. And this is if the head gasket was changed. A car can possibly overheat without damaging anything if it is arrested on time.

Other signs are direct fan connection, cooling system leak, thermostat removal and other cooling system modifications.

The truth is, all things being intact, you can't tell a car that overheated in the past except you have a high end scan tool that can retrieve history codes (if the codes are still in the memory).

I will like to hear opinion of others on this.
Car TalkRe: Oil Pressure Light Comes On When I Switch On Car Then Goes Off by EngRichie: 6:18am On May 02, 2022
Use oil with viscosity that works for your car
Change oil filter
Use original filter
Check oil strainer in sump since engine flush was done.

If it wasn't like that, it might just take time before you begin to hear valve noises.
WebmastersRe: What Type Of Blog Should I Create? by EngRichie: 8:08am On Apr 26, 2022
Since you can create unique contents, try AdSense.
If you need a blog with a very fast loading speed with all core web vitals passed even with AdSense ads on it, let me know. I will give you an existing blog link to inspect.
WebmastersRe: How Can I Make More Cash With My Adsense? by EngRichie: 6:53pm On Apr 19, 2022
If you really want to do it on your own, use WordPress. That's if you have all the time to learn before earning. Otherwise, contract it out to a professional to also do the technical SEO part for you.

Hello bro! How is it going?

I want to create my own blog. I will really appreciate it if you can point me in the right way.
WebmastersRe: How Can I Make More Cash With My Adsense? by EngRichie:
@Solacemk
Don't do link spamming. It can attract algorithmic penalty that you might not be aware of.

Some type of ad placement shows short term success but shows diminishing returns after some time. Take user experience seriously when placing ads. Optimize for session revenue rather than CPM/RPM.

If your traffic source is changing to those with lower CPC/CPM, your revenue will decrease. Even if traffic is organic, you will benefit more from tier 1 countries.

This one carries less weight but have you optimized for good core web vitals?

WebmastersRe: How Can I Create This Kind Of Sticky/bottom Adsense Ads Please ? by EngRichie: 4:39am On Apr 03, 2022
ProudlyTunes:
not sure if this an anchor kind of ads,

You can check the website naijavibes.com, I think it’s a plug-in or coding doing the work. Anchor Ads is different.

Thanks for the suggestion
I can see that you have already implemented it. Nice job. Be sure that it doesn't go against any AdSense policy.
WebmastersRe: How Can I Create This Kind Of Sticky/bottom Adsense Ads Please ? by EngRichie: 9:37am On Apr 02, 2022
Activate anchor ads in AdSense.
It appears at the top. If you add extra code provided by AdSense that makes it appear at the bottom, it stays at the bottom sometimes and other times at the top, depending on the position that gives better user experience.

I have done it already upto 5 times. ABS was created for braking on the slippery snow. we no get snow for naija. its ike this guy i saw yesterday at chicken republic wearing leather jacket in the heat
Not only for snow. It reduces braking distance on any slippery road, like road with sand on it, oil on it or driving in rain.
It also helps to protect your tires.

You need to describe the sound so that those who want to support can give helpful advice.

Good Afternoon
Please I will need your input on this situation
Make: Volkwagen Golf 4 2006, 2.0L engine

The engine stops turn off while driving and won't start again until after few minutes (Like 20 to 30 minutes), this have been happening constantly, I first thought it was fuel pump issue but the mechanic I went to said the fuel pump is working perfectly, that I should visit a rewire. I would really appreciate your comment.
Thank you for your contribution
Check fuel pump again, check crankshaft position sensor, diagnose vapor lock.
Car TalkRe: Hybrid Repair Problem by EngRichie:
Hybrid cars are good and repairable. People have grown a myth in this part of the world that they are not reliable which is untrue. In fact, the CVT transmission is more reliable than a regular transmission.
In the western part of the world, hybrids and electric cars are becoming hot cakes due to rising gas prices.

I think there need to be change of orientation here as regards to how hybrids are perceived but it should start with availability of good technicians. This is the aspect that frustrates hybrid users in Nigeria. It's good that hybrid technicians are increasing.

There is popular belief here that most cars used for public transportation are strong. Hybrids are used as taxis abroad because of their high fuel economy.
Again, people need to be aware of advantages of hybrid cars to value them.

Hybrid Repair
Since they were first introduced in 1999, hybrid gas/electric vehicles have continued to grow in popularity. This is due to their lower emissions and superior fuel efficiency. They also lack the range limitations of the current line up of purely electric vehicles (EVs). While these cars afford many benefits, a hybrid repair can present unique challenges. Unlike EVs, hybrid cars also need most of the same maintenance services as gas-powered vehicles. These include oil changes, fluid refills, and air filter replacement. But a standard mechanic may not have the experience or knowledge needed to do repairs on hybrid vehicles. For this reason, you must find a technician who can work on both systems.

The information below lays out the specific repair needs associated with hybrid vehicles. Use this knowledge to identify a hybrid repair shop that can address these challenges. It will help keep your vehicle running efficiently for a long time.

Hybrid Batteries
Hybrid repair in general can be a complex undertaking. But the vehicle’s battery is one of the areas where a technician needs specific expertise. Hybrid batteries must be powerful enough to supplement the energy that pure gasoline vehicles get from fuel. This means they are larger and more complex than standard batteries. Due to this, hybrid batteries are much more expensive than standard ones. If they don’t know what they are doing, a repair person could damage the battery and cause serious problems in your vehicle.

Due to their build, hybrid batteries tend to last much longer than regular ones. It is not uncommon for a manufacturer to offer 100,000- to 150,000-mile warranties on them. To keep your warranty intact, you will want to ensure that you find reputable hybrid battery repair from a certified technician.

Brakes
Most hybrid cars have regenerative brakes. This means they siphon energy from your car’s stopping power and use it to recharge the battery. Beyond their energy-absorbing capabilities, one advantage to these is that they last much longer than normal brakes. The flip side is that replacement or repair can be very expensive. This system also relies on an inverter to supply the electrical current that recharges the battery. Depending on the mileage on your car, a warranty may cover this part. Ask your hybrid auto repair technician about how braking and related parts work together. Make sure that they are certified to work on these components.

Electrical Systems
Hybrid vehicles also have complex electrical systems. These use auto-start and shut-off features that help preserve the life of your battery and conserve fuel. They must be calibrated or they could cause serious damage to your transmission or starter. For this reason, hybrid repair of electrical systems should be left up to someone who understands the nuances of these operations.

Find Hybrid Repair Near You
Now that you understand the unique makeup of these vehicles, you can find a trained technician who can perform hybrid repair and maintenance. You’ll have the peace-of-mind that your vehicle is being serviced or repaired by someone who understands the ins and outs of hybrid vehicles. Christian’s Automotive has been serving the Albuquerque area for over 30 years. We work on vehicles of all types, including gas-powered motors, electric vehicles, and hybrids.

Car TalkRe: I Used Total Oil To Service My Toyota Sienna..is It Good by EngRichie: 4:16am On Mar 20, 2022
This is serious!

sooperrescue:
5w30 is not available in the stable of Total. The current situation in the oil industry is alarming. The customs is deliberately frustrating the importers of good oil to pave way to all these oils that will eventually destroy the cars whose import duties has gone up to the point that Corolla 05 is now sold above 3m.
