Scan the car for airbag codes , scan the vehicle of engine codes
fantastique4: Good morning boss. My power steering pump is making a humming noise as i accelerate and decelerate. I want to know if the pump can be fixed or it has to be replaced entirely . Its a corolla 2006. Thanx sir
lapazi: Heyy guys, Pls I need help with a small issue that is actually irritating- the tire pressure light on my Honda Accord 2015 has refused to turn off, I have recalibrated- i don tire, follow all the tricks in the book
who can assist me or point me to a sure honda rewire make e scan am for me?
dahflemzy: Boss. I also happen to have a 2007 low milage Camry in my care which is for personal use. Engine had issue so it was replaced abroad before sending here. Same 4plug and doesn't short oil. I must confess, it's very a smooth car. I want to replace my transmission fluid and I've been thinking of where to get the original type WS and the price. You got any idea about where
Which AC gas do you also recommend. I never fill the AC since that car enter my hand.
ensure the tech pulls a vacuum before recharging, or compressor will die prematurely
ciggy000: Oga GAZZUZZ i serviced my injector mouth but noticed the car idles high especially when D is engaged this makes the vehicle move faster than normal. I bought a new injector mouth yet problem persist. The car had always pulled a P1659 ECTS relay malfunction off even before and after the servicing of the injector mouth. All efforts to rectify that code has proven abortive. Your kind advice on what you feel would be appreciated. Cc kingreign
9icetoo: @Dru23, act your age. Don't misquote sienna. Nowhere in that deposition did he talk about single core, single cell, double or double cell. Nowhere. Have some shame man. Be original. Quoting sienna out of context is not going to give you credibility. Don't be an idiot.
And rolls Royce will not touch your car if you install double cell (double core) radiator? How we went from Camry to rolls Royce and from radiator to oil is astounding. . The tokunbo or naija used Camry owner is quaking in his boots now. Elizade won't touch his car.
To your questions to me dru23. Am I an engineer? Yes My academic level? MSc Have I worked for a car manufacturing company? We have assembly companies in Nigeria. Haven't worked for any but I've assembled complex machines and plants for companies who use standards. Have I .... ..... Foreign cars? Dude, do not think you are a local champion. We have crossed the border too, lived and worked in saner climes with the four weathers winter, autumn, summer and spring. Don't be a dwib. What brand of weed I smoke? None for now. My work does not permit. Tests are regular. And I hope you have quit too.
Now please shut the Bleep up and let people who know more than you do about this shit make their submissions. Sell your oil in peace. 1. Tokunbo compressor? No shit. We buy those. 2. Synthetic Oil? No shit. We buy those. (You were a Mobil 1 die hard. Market has forced you to reconsider other brands whom you swore were nowhere near Mobil 1 even after being schooled by auntyRadu.
Tokunbo radiator from abroad? On this I draw a line. Sir, you must be an idiot. Get off your high horse. Who did the freaking test that you are here rambling about? Where are the test results? Where is quality control mark and signature that this was really tested and passed a test? What were the test parameters? What were the acceptable markers? Was the used plastic subjected to a test under an electron microscope to check for cracks? Was the core leak tested and to what pressure? What test medium was used and what were the acceptable leak rates? Can I see a pressure time graph for this test? Was it examined under an x-ray?
I initially said I won't respond but for posterity sake....
Like I said and I will say again, it don't mean jack shit wether it's double core or single core or double cell or single cell. New radiator trumps used radiator. Na why old ones full ladipo. They develop leaks, the plastic covers crack over time and are refurbished. Go to ladipo and buy double core. You go Waka tire for market.
Lastly, double cell is not meant to cool the engine more. Let me educate you a little bit.
With an increased surface area, the heat exchange across the radiator is faster. The fans assuming on factory settings spin for a shorter time. Remember the fan is triggered by the ECU via the coolant temperature sensor. As soon as the set temp is reached, the fans shuts off. Now, coolant performs four main purposes. 1. Increases the boiling point of water. Good for us. 2. Reduces the freezing point of water. We don't need that function here. 3. Lubricates the water pump. We need that too 4. Prevents corrosion of the cooling system. We need that function too.
Now double cell or single cell installation was not made to perform the above functions. The decision to use water or coolant rests with the car owner.
From what I wrote above, you should be able to deduce that coolant is necessary (if you can see past your nose). I have not advocated that people should not buy coolant from you or anywhere else.
Also please know that it is not a band aid to overheating issues. A car will not overheat just because it was running on only water without coolant. It won't. If it does, the owner should look for the reason his car is overheating in the first place. It is akin to removing thermostat when the source of the problem has not been resolved.
Now that I have done justice (at least I think I have), I leave you in peace.
I was getting ‘Hood open’ while driving my 2011 Camry and the car randomly blows alarm so while parked, so I took the car to a rewire who spoilt the already faulty sensor when he unintentionally broke a piece of metal around that sensor area.
My question is do you have that hood sensor maybe with the catcher(just to be sure everything is complete) or do you know anybody I can get it from in Ladipo. I stay on the island. Thanks.

dru23: Good ... Hopefully we can an objective discussion..
This huge parts sellers on eBay. They run are multi million dollar business. Meaning that they have the resources to take cars apart and test them....
So each time they pieces cars apart . they will ran a check to make sure parts are still good .. Now if the parts are not good , they will fix them before selling them .....
It will be counter productive for them to sell u parts that will not work and than you u end up returning it to them. Keep in mind some of these guys pay shipping cost themselves to get the parts to you. And others do free shipping....
Most times the parts I do buy are already cleaned out and oil or grease is removed.. For them to guarantee u 6months to 1 year it means that the parts are in good working condition......
Now unlike our brothers that brings car parts from different parts of the world. Will not have the time or the facility to make sure whatever parts they are loading into a container is actually good .. This is why when u buy parts in ladipo or elsewhere u are given 1 week or just few days warranty..
Bottom line here . eBay parts dealers are giving the seller a warranty that the parts been sold to you is in good working order.....
Below for example the 2010 Camry u see pic . is in good working condition . there are no cracks or holes. The only thing is that it is dusty from sitting too long... and also it was neatly packaged and protected to avoid any damage during shipping....
dru23: EBay online junkyard ....... Parts dealers that gives 6months to 1 year warranty on a part . you call that junk. There is junkyard near my house , very big and well known. I only buy car batteries from them all their parts have no warranty........ This is why I buy from ebay.........
When an ebay seller guarantees you 6moths to 1 year warranty on a part. Trust me the parts has gone through some testing before been sold........
My car didn't come with a double cell radiator. Why would I replace with double cell ? My car came with an automatic ac compressor, and why would I replace it with a manual ? Why do we make things so difficult for ourselves.........
If you need cars that are made for our road and weather . why don't you and Nigerians patronize home grown auto makers like Innoson Motors. These cars cheaper and are made for Nigerians by a Nigerian. This will help to give the Naira more value and protect our foreign reserve
I have time , I'm stuck in traffic .
Where do used parts on eBay come from?
The guarantee given is from manufacturer of part or seller?
If from seller who transfered the guarantee he is giving to him?
dru23: 1. The car didn't come with double cell radiator .. So why would you replace with double cell ....
Double or single radiators do not affect the operating temp of the engine. (Read to gain knowledge)
2. The Tokunbo parts I get for my clients are from ebay. These parts are guarantee for 6months to 1 year. So these parts are tested before been sold
Most junkyards you walk into to get parts will not give u any guarantee and in most cases will tell to you to take the parts from the car yourself.
eBay is an online junkyard. (You don't need to read, its common sense.
3. Brand new radiator is not a problem. If a client wants a new radiator I can get it for them . And I make sure it is OEM ...... So cost comes down to what the client can afford....
This is what you should sell.
Me and you are aware most Nigerians don't follow owners manual. And most Nigerian car owners use water instead of coolant. And the ones that are using coolant, most likely are using colored water which is fake ......... We know that using water will damage your radiator , it might not be right away but in the long run it will get damage........
From personal experience.. I have never replace any radiator from my personal cars before. My 2005 Nissan that I used . I bought it brand new back than. Till the day I get rid of the car I never replace the radiator . The only thing I did was a radiator flush which cost me about $100.00 . And I drove that car for 10 yrs without replacing a radiator.......
The cars I use for uber , I can't really recall anytime I change radiator . And if I did it was due to so much dust clogged in the radiator . And you know have been doing uber business for 8yrs .....
Conclusion.. We should try to encourage car owners to always follow owners manual at all times........
dru23: Your car didn't come with "double cell" radiator . it came with the original radiator ..
Why in God's name u want to put something that was not from the manufacture is beyond my comprehensive thinking..
Kindly buy a tokunbo radiator and use original coolant. And you should fine. Don't let mechanics tell you that u need double cell radiator because of our weather bullshit .... You have USA states like Las Vegas Texas, Arizona , Florida that have same weather conditions as Nigeria.....
Are u now telling me that car manufacture makes cars for hot regions and ones for cold region... Smh
Below is a 2010 camry radiator I bought for customer . He was facing similar issues like u
A used radiator is a used radiator. Radiators do not last forever, they become old and the plastic covering becomes brittle and it cracks then breaks.
If you want to give advise on this thread , do not use Tokumbor parts gotten from the junkyard .
A brand new radiator (China double cell) will outlive what you have there.
