Sorry, its a Peugeot 406 phase 1... Where Chief Gazzuzz dey?

You might have a grounding problem, since it's a phase1 the vehicle is not equipped with a BSI check ground connections under the dash and harness connecting the instrument cluster.

boldan:
I want to say thank you to all those that have given their own input to this issue.I want to confirm if it is possible to diagnose a 1994 car model.

Also, can a weak battery cause jerking and stalling of a car, because I am even planning to buy a new battery

Thanks Oga Gazzuzz, Readonee, Mojibola

Please help me answer as soon as possible

A weak battery cannot cause jerking and stalling.

It is possible to diagnose a 1994 accord (I didn't say scanning)

Gently pry out the chain cover and there you have it !! The timing chain wink

Car Talk › Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(op): 1:16pm On Sep 03, 2015

Once you have them then take down the camshafts and timing chain.

Water pump is stiff and noisy and will be replaced.

Kia Cerato 07

Now we go under, the exhaust pipe unbolted, power steering unbolted about to unscrew the. Torque converter bolts.

Kia Cerato 2007

Vehicle also had a history of a/c problems and in the course of taking down the compressor we spotted some oil in the compressor pressure lines, checked with the leak detectors and confirmed with another detector and it seems to be the source of the primary leak. Will continue checks after I'm done with bringing down the engine.

Car Talk › Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(op): 10:29am On Sep 03, 2015

Take down intake manifold, remove serpentine belt (remember how it was b4 you removed it) take out alternator, take out starter motor, unbolt a/c compressor but do not remove the pressure lines.

Car Talk › Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(op): 9:26am On Sep 03, 2015

Take radiator down and strip engine of its harness, a drain tap is not provided for this radiator so it could be a bit messy.

Car Talk › Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(op): 9:08am On Sep 03, 2015

Head gasket can be changed while engine is in the bay, but I'll prefer dropping the engine to get better access.

Car Talk › Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(op): 9:06am On Sep 03, 2015

Cerato 2007

Head gasket change.

Traces of engine oil found in coolant, engine oil looks light brown, like it has a water mix, coolant level also drops.

Vehicle had a history of sever overheating prior to this.

Want to know 2001 solara V4 engine price, a friend of mine want to know b4 his mechanic gives him a price

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Camry_Solara

There are 2types of engines, 5S-FE and the 1MZ-FE.

The 5S-FE engine should be a replica of the camry 1998 or 2000 engine, about 120k.

Take a pic of the engine bay so I can be sure.

shedyman:
Thanks all. I guess I will have no choice but to change them then. I was reluctant in changing it when my mechanic said signs of a bad ignition coil were not evident in the car, this is after he physically inspected each of the coils and found them to be good. Thanks anyway, I will make moves towards changing it.

Do you think it might be one of the ignition coil that is bad? Can scanning detect the exact one? Thanks

Come for free diagnosis if in lagos.

Please, I need expert advice on a Honda Accord (BabyBoy) 2002 model which I bought in MAY this year. But since I bought the car, I have serviced it once after to experience shortage of engine oil. I usually use Mobil super 1000 XHP for my car service and I hardly travel out of my town in Portharcourt

Please, I want to know if it is the car engine that is faulty or that the engine oil is not compatible with my car because my mechanic advised me to change it to AP Visco2000. I did just that but the problem still persists.

Thanks
Austin

If there are no oil leaks, get a new engine (toks) start afresh but this time lubricate with 5W30 every 6k miles.

I was just thinking, frm experience, btwn the honda civic and the Peugeot 307, which would u advice a low income, 1st timer to get.

Iv owned both brands, and as a first timer ild advice you stick with the civic.

Coldplay007:
Gazzuzz! If you can help fix that AC, you got yourself a loyal customer in me forever...
Once your OEM AC compressor spoils, you are in trouble.
I don't believe any Naija AC technician is competent. Once they change your OEM compressor/condenser You either keep replacing compressors every three to six months or you keep re filling gas every 2-4 months...

All the parts of an A/C can be gotten OEM, might not be brandnew, but will work effectively. I recently restored a camry 2008 back to its factory ac settings, (compressor,condenser,a/C pipes, expansion valve) it was quite pricey, but owner got his monies worth. Had to replace the compressor 2wice before delivering the vehicle. Most times the problem is with fitting wrong parts or faulty parts, other times the a.c system is very dirty and damages the compressor/ blocks the expansion valve. Finally there's the problem of leaking parts, and I have my leak detectors to take care of that.

My toyota Avensis 2000 drags a bit when I am rolling freely without acceleration. Though the drag is not so obvious, you will only notice if you are used to the way the can runs, It never used to hesitate. I have bought 2 different injector cleaners and still no improvement. what is actually the purpose of injector cleaners?
could this engine hisistation have resulted when I was on reserve and almost ran dry on fuel? Could it be the fuel pump?

There is also a repeated clicking sound I hear in my engine when I start the car. And the mechanic thinks its the power steering engine. What could be the cause?

You need more of diagnostics on your vehicle.

Lemme try again. Each time I try to change gears say frm gear 1 to 2 mostly I hear a cluck sound coming from the driver side wheel .

Also when i bump into a ditch or gallop I hear the same thing.

I appears everytime there is a jerk my driver side wheel makes the sound but its mostly when changing frm gear 1 to 2.

Kazeem sais my cv are still good.

Is it clear enuff ?

Your CV joint has two sides the inner and the outer.

Lower control arm bushings may be bad

Front or rear Engine mount may be bad

Inner Cv joints may be bad

Ball joints may be bad.
