There is sands in your inner shaft or the Boris is bad. Check the inner shaft, refill with grease if the Boris are still OK.

What is boris

Most times they don't connect the O2 sensors, they weld the Cv rods, engine mounts are fabricated, car vibrates at when driving, all the Christmas lights are on on the dash, they don't connect the ODB2 port.

It might look neat, but it is evil inside

Timing is still off.

Hello Gurus in the house, I observed something wierd in my car today. It's a 2001 Accord V6. The power I got when moving from start was variable. Also I feel jerks when the car was trying to change gear. I later drove d car like a manual changing gears from D1 to D4 and noticed that the jerking stopped when I did this. Could this be the start of the ever present Auto transmission issues found in this model?

Very possible. Start by scanning transsmission. If no codes drain and re-fill oil with dw1.

Hi guys, please a colleague and friend of mine wants to buy either a 2006 lr3 or a 2007 Ford Edge. Which is better in term of reliability and maintenance? We're aware the lr3 uses up a lot of fuel but he's leaning more towards it. Also also are there good mechanics Not kazeems oh that can work on the cars if there's an issue. He currently drives a corolla and want to change to get either of these Ghen Ghen cars. He lives in Surulere and works in VI and will drive daily. Currently services the corolla every 4 months and spends about 15k. Weekly fuel usage on the corolla is 3500. He earns 200k as take home and has the money to purchase the car. But he wants to know if the lr3 would cost him a lot to maintain. He plans to get comprehensive insurance. These are all his points but me I'm leaning towards the Ford Edge. My Google search shows that both cars were the safest for the years 2005-2008. Is the lr3 suspension issue very frequent Please assist as your advise will be appreciated.

Hello Mr gazzuz, thanks for the good work you are doing, plz can I come for a free scan becox my 1998 accord babyboy has so much problem that I can't explain it all...

Free scan is currently not running.

Hello Mr Gazzuz, thanks for the great work you are doing here and God bless you. I recently bought a Honda accord 1998 model{ babyboy} from a friend months ago bur I didn't realize some few faults, the engine is in good condition but I obeserve that whenever I put on the AC, it reduces the engine work thereby reducing the slow as if the car is about going off, went to a rewire known to me and he said I need. To change the vacuum, of which I know for a V4 babyboy engine, may have more than 10 vacuums, Anoda rewire said it may be the Kompressor of the AC, which I recently change and still gives me same issue most expecially when d engine is very warm. Also I have the check engine light on, SRS light on and also the ABS light on. Plz advice what can I do

Idle speedvalve is the most likely culprit, have it serviced or replaced, also have the vehicle scanned.

I'm a young woman about to buy my first car. Obviously I don't have so much to go for a tokunboh so I choose to settle for a Nigerian used car. So many cars appeal to me but I need advise from car experts. I saw a rover 75 and liked it because of its interior but I'm told the car develops issues. I need advice on what car to get. Meanwhile my budget is 500k

Whatever you decide, pay a technician to look at it before you pay, iv seen a lot of evil in Nigerian used cars.

I have a toyota avensis vvti; 2002 model, hardly do the engine oil take me more than a month despite the fact that it doesn't smoke.I called the mechanic who checked for leakages and fixed it but it still continues.
Please what can i do?

If your oil is getting short, and there's no leak, do not bother using 5W30 the car will just burn it up faster, try mobil1 0W40 and see how it goes, if it still burns then stick to 20W50 and save up for a new engine

thaqib:
Peeps, pls why must I have to kick start my car several times in the morning to get it going. It stalls several times especially in the morning even when I have warmed it for 3 or 4 minutes. It is a toyota camry 2000 model

Your Idle speed control valve might be clogged, car might be misfiring, fuel pressure might be low, injectors might be blocked.

IACV will not show up on a scanner unless there is circuit damage, what you need outside a scan is a competent technician to look at the problems I mentioned.

rofemiguwa:
Please my honda civic 99/2000.has issues with smooth transition. When accelerate it takes some minutes before it ppicks up, then when u brake and accelerate again. There is also a delay. And u can literally feel the car changing gears.

The mechanic said is the gear mount. I don't know if that is true.my neighbour said I should just check the transmission fluid.I just don't want to risk it. Pls professional advise will be appreciated.

And what is the best transmission fluid to use for honda civic 99/00.
Thank u

DW1 contact luvinghubby.

Read more about how transmissions work and how to trouble shoot problems. If you cannot do that patronize a competent workshop

casid:
Thanks alot.. Will look into that..

Look into what exactly?

Your gearbox has 1preasure switch, 1transmission temp switch, about 4 solenoids and 1 range switch.

Start by scanning engine and transmission.

OP look at this 504 and have a RE-think. I'm sure your babe will leave you and hop into this brothers ride

youngchopper:
Can ac also cause it? Dunno how possible tho?
Cuz it did not rain much today but Mehn the volume of water there is too damn much

A.c is most likely the culprit
Check the drain pipe under front passengers side, it may be blocked. Use a very lomg screwdriver to poke it.

youngchopper:
Passenger side carpet soaking wet after heavy rains
1999 toyota Camry

Leaking windsheild, door, or window.

Sunroof would be very obvious so im ruling it out.

You are still on this AC issue?

If in lagos contact me.

I luv it!!!

My toyota camry, 2000 dashboard light and headlamp dwindles at nite and shakes. The headlight becomes brighter when I press the accelerator. I think it's electrical probably but dunno which is d problem is. What might b the problem

Alternator.

Check charging voltage with a dmm.

My poor Nissan almera N16 2000model is giving me sleepless nights, it over heat and now the gasket has been changed, 2 sensors have also been changed am guessing cam and crank sensor. But with all this, the car refused to start, so the spark plugs were cooked today and the car was behaving like it wants to start, cranking and the almost to start sound but it refused to start. Abeg what is the next thing to do.
1. fuse is ok
2. brainbox is ok
3. coils are getting spark
4. Alternator is ok
5. Kick starter is ok
6. Fuel pump is pumping
7. No check Engine light
8. it is chain not belt in the engine
9. Everything in the cars is working AC, radio, bla bla bla.

my mechanic says to change engine but I believe the engine is still solid prior to the over heating incident. Says the compression is low reason why the car won't start.

Timing marks are off, see it all the time.

You don't have an idea does not mean that what am saying is not right okay.

Let me throw more light to this, first of all am a well trained driver in Autostar transport company and we undergo mechanical training before been given any car to ride, yes because of our hot weather in our country you are advise to remove the thermostat but there are procedures in doing that which many road side mechanics don't know, for instance if the temperature of your car always stay at half of the meter, when you remove the thermostat it will not rise up to even a quarter and is gonna make your Supposition very effective and your engine will be cool and in safe conditions, but you need an expert mechanic to remove it for and that I won't share it here but I can leave my numbers here (08130731770, 08022944196 ).
