I drive toyota avensis 2007.

And my mechanic is making life a living hell for me, when the car has issue, most times i cannot be repaired once, he will repair the first, bring it and the same thing will happen and he will do it again, sometimes it takes up to 3 to 4 times to get one issue resolved.

The one that happen now is so annoying, last week the car accelerator at some point will not move fast even if you press with all your power and finally it will stop. and then i will start it again.

My Mechanic came to pick it up, fix it and bring it for me on Sunday and on Monday the same thing happen.

Will i ever be able to get a good mechanic to help me out on a low budget. i am so tired, im even crying

Help me pls, my car is making me miserable!

Its a pegeout 307. The problem is, there seem to be no full transmission no matter what I do. I've taken it for diagnosis many time. I've changed like five fuel pumps, changed the coil, changed the plugs and several other things in the car as the mechanics always advice, but the problem remain the same. Could it electrical? I do not know. Its making me miserable, pls those with the know how should pls help, thans.

GAZZUZZ:
Turn out the old fuel and try again, clear codes and car should be fine.

lantres000:
Thanks for your contribution gents. There is some mechanic that is giving me the option of reviving the engine on a 50 50 chances that if the procedure works I will pay him 60k and if it doesn't work I will buy new engine . What's ur take on that

"dude this is c4 not ebuka, d next tym u see me, its going to be my G Barrel to ur face and ur famz face. Ask about me. Bastard."

hoodboy:
@coldplay007 I actually wouldn't recommend Gazzuzz to anybody, dude is quite petty. I had contacted him about my car, drove all the way from Surulere to Ogba on Saturday, he told me my engine would need to be replaced I heeded his counsel asked him to get me costing. On getting to His place today with plans of dropping off my car to return tomorrow for us to go get an Engine, dude started catching feelings, telling me "I should go look for a roadside mechanic who I will follow to the market to buy parts" for crying out loud we are talking of Engine replacement why shouldn't I be involved in the procurement process, even if I'm coming as a silent observer. Gazzuzz bluntly told me I should go back with my vehicle, just because I asked to go pick up my Engine with him. Saying I was disappointed is a huge understatement. Nonetheless I'm glad it happened at this point, not when I have invested my scarce resources and he starts to bring up shitty attitude. Same way I trusted my car to Qualityovenbake on Nairaland and he did a messed up job, coupled with the fact that he was way behind schedule.

Oga GAZZUZZ,
Please the CEL and ABS came on in a friend's 2004 toyota Camry V6. After scan, i threw up these codes;

P1135- Air fuel sensor heated response malfunction and

C0215- Left rear wheel speed sensor signal malfunction.

kindly assist on what to know and what to do.


By the way, can you please tell us why you don't like Milemaster because that's the oil i use for my Car ooo!!

I have a Kia Sorento 2008 . It used to drive beautifully. It still does.
Nowadays the engine alert light comes on so frequently but it still drives beautifully since I don't notice any issue with engine. However things seem to be getting worse. The ESC OFF light will suddenly light up together with engine alert and car stops moving. This could bequite dangerous if on busy highway. My mechanic has no idea. Is there any Kia Sorento owner in Ibadan who can give me some reliable advice ?
Thanks

Kashif:
The problem was already there before the oil change. Truthfully, ATFs are over hyped. As a matter of fact, dextron III can drive a healthy A760. A 1996 transmission and 2010 have the same types of components - rubbers, plastics, aluminium, copper, etc, only that the late models have more of those.

I recently learnt that my elder brother has been using Abro in his 2004 Camry for 11 months now, after the atf ran dry. So far, no issues. I am not saying owners should not stick to manufacturer's atf but, there are other, and some, better alternatives.

There are nonfunctional reasons manufacturers introduce newer ATFs, but it a discussion for another day. It is also worthy of note that none of them manufactures these fluids.

Thumbsup Gazzuzz! So selfless of you. Bringing smiles to troubled faces...

mykl01:
Having benefitted from this forum in the past when my Rav4 had issues, I want your advice on this recent development.
My Accord 2008 has 5 lights on the dashboard ; Check Engine, ABS, VSA, Brake and Airbag. I've tried to scan it 3x with 3 different scanners but the technicians come back to tell me that the car is not communicating with the scanner on scanning asides the check engine which is caused by the oxygen sensor. The vehicle runs fine, the braking hasn't changed, but the airbag light on the dash does not light up and the seat belt alarm doesn't go on while driving with belts off. Any ideas please?

Thanks Gazzuzz. You are an asset on this thread. God bless you. So, I finally got my car serviced today. Pls help me express your view on this: I just replaced my car engine oil witth Total 5W-40 quartz 9000 engine oil. My car is Nissan Primera P11 1999/2001. The manual states 5W-30 for cold climate and 20W-40 or 20W-50 for other climate. Even from the previous owner's Nissan history of service booklet, I discovered that it has always been serviced with 5W-30 oil and in the subsequent services, Total 10W-40 was used, each in an interval of about 10,000km mileage. So after going through, I decided to get 10W-40 for the service, but that grade was not available at the various places I went to, but later got 5W-40(for 8,500 Naira) at Total station, Kubwa, Abuja, which I now used in servicing the car. Just want to know if I am on point by using the Total 5W-40 instead of the 5W-30 and 10W-40?

nickxtra:
Mr. Gazzuzz, pls is there a danger in leaving the engine oil 20w 50 in my car for more than 2 months no(less than 3000 mileage)? Though I have ordered for milemaster 5w 30(recommended for my car) oil online to replace it immediately. Am afraid if I have left the current oil more than neccessary so far.

I recently purchased Rear Main Seal Repair Concentrate.
Ever since i bought my Nigerian used 07 Accord 2 years ago...i have been plagued with a perplexing
oil shortage, getting to the minimum limit usually 1 month after an oil change and requiring 1 litre top up monthly
However, more recently progressed to annoying oil spillages when i park...
I had to change the top seal, but alas, the problem appears to be coming from the crankshaft/ Rear main seal.
My mechanic said that will be a 2 day job requiring an engine overhaul and dismantling to access the seal location....Lailai

That didn't seat well with me, so further research into my problems and i discovered this preparation...So i ordered a box from the USA.
I have more than i need, so i want to sell to anybody who's in my shoes and wants to give this a shot. A bottle goes for 6k...but i can sell to you my nairalanders for 5k. So quote me and order yours now
