NpvnStar: I had a local mechanic finally found the problem. Apparently it was never the shafts. It was the exhaust pipe cranking on a metal below it. So whenever I'd accelerate, it cranks on the metal which was slightly depressed towards it. (Probably through uneven ground impact.) So we padded it and the sound disappeared. He advised that the metal be straightened
timileyinoyela: Good day oga gazzuzz, I drive a 2004 Toyota Corolla anytime I want to move I feel some vibration( like when you have a bad clutch disc plate in a manual gear). It's an auto trans I'm just trying to describe how the vibration is,that why I used a manual trans as an illustration. This happens majorly at afternoon .
grafikii: Hi Gazzuzz, please I need your advice, my rav4 gearbox was changed from 13 to 10 pin ( my ignorance) the slows down itself and jerks when changing from gear 2 to 3. I was told to change the brain box to fix the issue but I'm worried this might change of brain box might affect the engine.
sucessdriven: Goodmorning sir. Please what do i do to the transmission of my 2008 Acura MDX. The radiator failed so coolant got into the ATF reservoir. I checked the ATF dipstick and the coolant got in there, Is the transmission gone?
Does the vehicle drive fine? If yes drain refill and drive then repeat until oil colour changes to normal . Don't forget to replace the radiator
NpvnStar: Gazzuzz , Like I said before, it's left side. When I cut to the left side and start accelerating. Sometimes even when I'm just straight and started from stop.
Ikenna351: Yesterday, a customer complained of high fuel consumption on his Peugeot 307 with EW10A engine. However, my diagnosis showed the injection system, engine cooling system & transmission were in top good conditions, except the wrong engine oil he put in recently (10w-40) . I advised him to switch to the recommended (B71 2296, 5w-40 ) which he did yesterday and hopefully will show significant difference.
EW10A was not designed for thicker oils than the recommended which Peugeot specifically stated. From my personal experience, it kills this engine. Usual symptom of wrong oil in that engine is gradual and later sudden drop of power (even without oil burn or bluish smoke), to a point that accelerator pedal has to be held on the floor before the wheels can even rotate and move the car. Abuse in Nigeria is what is killing them. Most times, out of ignorance. But sometimes, Nigerian users still choose the wrong oil, even when aware of consequences of their choices.
A 307 with EW10A is so good with fuel economy that the fuel consumption is almost same with TU5JP4 engine in same car, even though the EW10A is bigger and posses more power. Generally, 307s are known for good fuel economy, irrespective of engine models. The engine is designed to run very hot to achieve this, to a point that engine cooling system thermostat opens around 105°C unlike the others with lower opening temperatures.
If your EW10A is very sound and you want it to keep that way, keep to recommended engine oil. If it's weak and burning oil already, a thicker oil would help to reduce the oil shortage, but not necessarily to stop the eventual death that is already near. I have clients that are enjoying this engine in their various Peugeot models, for choosing not to abuse theirs.
Lion-King Monk
Nothing special will happen.
In Nigeria our coldest temp is about 10-15deg Changing from a 10w40 to a 5w40 in Nigerian weather will have no effect on the fuel economy.
Dahreformer2666: I had an accident and I tried starting the car but it has not been starting with push to start button but putting the key into the car safe as an alternative method of starting, the car starts
Transmitter or reciver failure. Scan car electronics (not your usual scan) to pinpoint the faulty device

Pussyassniggar: Good evening, I noticed my Toyota Sienna 2009 model won't allow changing of gear from park And ABS is showing on the dashboard What could be the issue @Gazzuz
brake switch.
Watch this video
Vehicle stuck in park, brake lights permanently on.
Parts used.
₦300 slippers (you get 6 stoppers )
I noticed I should have added more detail to the video, sadly not enough space to go under the dash and film at same time, kindly use your imagination, I will find a brake lever system some time in the future to show how to install stopper.

When I speed more that 40mph d noise starts Secondly, yesterday I discovered a new problem, when I'm in motion and I apply brakes , my steering and the brake pedal shakes vigorously @ GAZZUZZ BIKO HELP YOUR SON
slimik: Good day oga GAZZUZZ, my 2010 ford edge is is having over heating issues ever since my mechanic fixed my water pump when I found out my coolant was leaking.
The temperature gauge needle goes from L-H within 30mins.
amstamon: Thanks boss, you're a real boss. What I did? Clean the throttle body with carburettor cleaner and also dust the air filter, so far it's driving well with no CEL, only that it sometimes starts abnormally like it wanna go off then picked fine mostly in the morning (suspecting my fuel pump). Then I noticed this part close to the maf sensor rattles. (pics uploaded) I mean it makes rattling sound when engine is working . Please is it normal?
inspektor: Gurus in the house, how much can I estimate to fix this kind of dent? Got the car from copart, 2016 audi. Run and drive.. vin history looks clean. Just that rear damage,
If you like ya sef, leave the car in the abroad jeje.
slimmoney: thanks boss, my kazeem already cleaned it with injector cleaner but the issue still persists so am considering replacing it, i really appreciate sir.
Understanding how the system works before replacing parts is very important.
But as long as you are not paying for it until it works you are fine
slimmoney: thanks boss, what i mean is the car doesn't exceed a certain speed and it start surging until i release the throttle, i can relate your explanations to what am currently experiencing on the car.
slimmoney: good day oga GAZZUZZ, please i use 2008 crv and lately my car vibrate on motion, i scanned the car and it brought out p2646, i googled it up and its showing rocker arm sensor, please could that be the problem?
The term vibration is very vague pls try and explain further..
This code will cause engine to enter limp mode which will not cause vibration, but a disruption of engine power when it reaches 2.5k rpm.
The causes of the p2646 are numerous, but these are a few.
* Faulty Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) / Rocker Arm Oil Pressure Switch
*VTEC/Rocker Arm Oil Pressure Switch harness is open or shorted
*VTEC/Rocker Arm Oil Pressure Switch circuit poor electrical connection
* A leaky rocker arm seal is also a popular causative agent in most vehicles I have come across.
