Good afternoon chief
Please I have a question about my 2018 rav4 xle. I filled The Fuel tank which is about 60L in size, from my calculation it ran about 200miles when the fuel got exhausted. So here's my question, is the fuel consumption normal or is it too high?
Note : My AC is on 85% of the time and the fuel guage isn't functioning properly

As per your very rough calculation, fuel mileage is 12.6mpg compared to 23mpg you're supposed to get if your car is performing optimally. It is bad.

Good morning house, Happy Sunday.
So I have a Camry 2014 xle, which I took to the filling station to refill. the fuel indicator is about to reach the point where it will show warning but it hasn’t gotten there yet. Due to fuel scarcity I told them to fill it with 60.6 liters . Immediately they filled it up I noticed my car won’t accelerate very well. The acceleration is very slow. So I have 3 questions? How much liters can my fuel tank take at max. 2. What could be the cause of the slow acceleration and 3. How can I fix this without taking it to the mechanic. Thanks house.

1. Refer to your car manual or Google. (anyone that is going to answer you is going to do the same, hence DIY).

2. Hope say no be bad fuel you buy?

3. Na mechanic (competent one) go fix am last last.

Good evening Gazzuzz,

I once brought the issue of my coolant disappearing and after all checks, I noticed the following.

After driving without AC, the coolant remains the same week after week.

If I use the AC, the car starts overheating if I stay long in traffic, without much traffic the car doesn't overheat, but the coolant disappears. I noticed that the coolant will remain after driving but the return pipe into the reservoir will be blowing hot air which eventually causes the coolant to evaporate.

The vehicle is Toyota Corolla 2010 and the radiator is single cell.

How can this be fixed so that it continues working normally as before.

Very likely that one of your radiator fans is faulty. Confirm the two fans are working while the AC is on.

And you want to import parts wink



Uncle take the head to a machine shop for grinding (or better still contact me for a head that has never overheated) buy a graphite head gasket (perish the idea of metal gasket) every other seal and gasket is available original in the market. The headbolts on paper are not to be reused , but guess what? Every one does here and in obodo! Just pray your block does not have strip bolt syndrome if you do (I have a block for sale) cheesy

Thanks Oga mi. I guess I'll just contact you later for the parts.

What's the aim? I don't see any piston rings there, and I see cylinder head bolts

It's for a burnt gasket repair, engine doesn't really burn oil so no plan to change piston rings. Head bolts are not compulsory, but may be necessary if they have a hard time getting it out.

Oga gazzuz good morning sir, I was advised to buy synthetic engine oil as its good for engine health and last longer(6months) than normal oil. As a bolt guy, if I use synthetic oil, how long will I used it before changing?

If it actually last that long but my car show service light, can I just reset the light and keep driving?

Thank you

Which car, what oil have you been using (how often do you change it) and for how long have you been using the car?

6 months or 5k miles whichever comes first, that's the recommended oil change interval on synthetic oil.

As a bolt guy, you can't use oil for 6 months.

No resolution. That’s why I brought it here.

Tldr; Make both of you go the shipping agent office (carry your own scale go, do plus or minus the powerbank), Recalculate the cost and shipping and share balance into two. If you still want to remain friends.

Iamphilips, If na 470 you do checkout and na 530 for shipping 17lbs as agreed, everything na around 286k.

Once a customer sends a link, I check all available options and present to the buyer. In this case, I'll buy the ebay too considering the price since na bundle.

I dey give shipping estimates too, but I go update my customer once item ship if weight dey the tracking details. And I go tell am say I go weigh am when item land to confirm his shipping fee.

MyphoneandI, una don too flog this issue. If you say you are friends, I no believe am. Say acquaintance or colleague cos I no see friendship for this una matter.

Plenty sellers dey eBay, official stores dey and authorized dealers dey. Focus camera wey your friend buy the bundle na correct seller. If you check the buying options on the Amazon link, focus camera dey sell the same item and fulfilled by Amazon.

Your client fit dey shout on top him money, but as you and your friend dey open about the transaction, na you go explain wetin happen in detail so Una go fit reach conclusion.

You CAN'T say you don't want again ó. After item don dey Nigeria already. No bẹ today we don sabi say if item don ship come here na OYO you dey as per returns and warranty.

But if you say you don't want, who would bear the loss of sending it back (na UPS you go use send back remember). And Sony no bẹ like JBL wey everyone dey buy, ẹ fit hard to sell to get back your money.

Item weight sef na 12.3lbs for Amazon, I no sabi where una see 11lbs. So definitely, Shipping weight will be different cos of packaging. Powerbank come even dey again. If you run a freight forwarding business truly, you go sabi as this thing dey work. Make we no even start on dimensional weight and all those consolidation wàhálà.

Good day house, I hope someone sees this and respond , for the past few days I noticed my radiator water always go down( low) which seems so kind of strange , with that effect, I tried to topple my radiator with another water but I noticed after driving for awhile , I noticed water and coolant leaking underneath the car which I tried to call my mechanic and told him about it , I took it to him for checking , he said maybe the radiator is dirty and needs so cleasing which he did but still the same thing, please what can I do stop fix this …. The water inside my radiator do go down on time and it’s showing some leaking underneath

Car name is Kia Optima 2013

Change mechanic first.

Please post a pic of the original ATF container, it will make more sense. At least person fit carry am enter market to avoid buying the fakes which is all over. Thanks.

Below is what I found on Amazon, same as the one I used last. Seems it’s fake.

This is what the batch codes looks like. For me it's not enough to be sure it's original or not cos that one sef na simple thing for the counterfeiters.

Good evening house,
Please I have a question....after servicing my car as usual, it was going on smooth but suddenly it wasn't starting after a week.
So I called myechanic and after checking he said the fuel injector wasn't spraying fuel to ignite the plug( which I confirmed because he loosened it n when the car was cranked there wasn't any fuel being sprayed from the tip, so he said it's a rewire work because the injector wasn't recieving power. Then the rewire came and connected the fuel injector directly to the battery and on first crank the car came on, so he concluded the fuel injector I.C chip in the ECU was faulty but he can change it for 5k as he has been doing it for several people with only success rate. Please is it advisable to go ahead with his option because what he did started the car on just an attempt?
The car is a Peugeot 406

Most likely a blown fuse on the ignition àbí EFI.

Except your rewire learn work for Computer Village, I no sabi when rewire start to dey use rework station commot IC.

For 5k sha, you'll pay rewire for brainwork. But fuse na ₦100

The video I saw on YouTube about the OBD2 Bluetooth scanner, the person used it to clear the TPMS and they claimed you use it to clear a host of other car issues. I'm thinking of buying it as a DIY guy since it's not so expensive.

This is different from what you posted before, 2k VS $50 + app fee

Good morning GAZZUZZ,

I came across this OBD2 Bluetooth device and I am intending to buy it.. Do you think it will be worth it or I should just not bother.


Picture attached

It's an inexpensive tool for reading basic engine codes and some vehicle parameters as shown in the attached pictures.

If you have a car with ABS, SRS and TPMS systems, not useful. Transmission sef, nothing.

1. Please what exact Power Steering fluid can I use for my 08 Lexus ES350. I have been seeing a lot of DEXTRON brands, but I'm not sure of which one to buy.

2. Can I just top up the Power Steering Fluid instead of going through the extra stress of draining before refilling, because I am not sure of the last used brand, and I'm not sure if two Power steering brands can be mixed together.

Buy something from a known brand, I use Valvoline.

Top up will just be small quantity. Except you have a leak and you'll be topping off Frequently.
