samuelson06: Good morning everyone, I recently got a leaked tank in my Ford Focus so I took the car to a mechanic. The mechanic dropped the tank while a welder closed the hole. After everything, I realized the welder had caused the anti-siphon device to melt since it's made of a plastic material. He couldn't remove it before the work.
So right now, I'm not using the device again. But the problem now is that my dashboard is showing the Check Engine Light which came after the repairs. I think this is as a result of the anti-siphon that was removed because the light wasn't there before the repairs.
Now, my question is, apart from the anti-siphon stopping people from taking fuel from my tank, is there something else that it does that may be triggering the engine warning light?
BTW, I've been driving the car with the light for days now and I don't really know how it may impact it in the near future.
Scan the car. anti-siphon has nothing to do with any of the vehicle codes

thonyman: Dear Gazzuzz, I changed my car water pump recently to solve draining coolant issues, but my check engine light came on after the repair with P0018 code: P0018 Crankshaft position Camshaft Position Correlation Bank 2 Sensor A Engine works normal and still start at first attempt, kindly advice on what should be done.
okpeho: Thank you everyone for your contributions, I have really learnt a lot from your wealth of experience. Now that the issue of mileage has been resolved, my question - is the 1.250m fair enough for the CRV because I will still have to fix the brake issue according to the owner, he said the brake is leaking oil from under the car .
iyke4: My 2004 Toyota Corolla rev can’t go beyond 5000 rpm and the car finds it difficult to go pass 120km/h, what could be the cause, the mechanic said nozzle and fuel pump.
5,000RPM is very close to the redline, you should avoid revving engine that high.
That said a loss of power is what you are dealing with. You can scan and post codes here
adeinfinit: Is it advisable to replace thermostat and revert fan to its original state on a Nigerian used Honda civic? The car has been running like that for over a year.
It's complicated.
Your vehicle was overheating, and the uninformed tech modified your electrical system and unrestricted the flow of coolant, thereby suppressing the overheating condition.
Note the problem was never solved .
Car currently runs on very low temp values and very low coolant pressure values.
You have to go back to diagnosis of what made vehicle overheat in the first place.
These are a list of possible variables
Defective Radiator Waterpump Head gasket Previously stuck thermostat Corrosion on coolant lines Pipe leaks Electrical fan failure
okpeho: Good morning all, i want to change my car and I saw a 6 months used Honda CRV 2004 model online going for #1.250m, according to the owner, he said the car was sent to him from Canada by the Aunty who happens to be the only user. The mileage is - 319,712. My concern is the high mileage and also the price considering the mileage stated above. Please, I need your honest opinions on what to do.
Jerrysmallz: God don deliver me from Gazzuzz hand. But thank you for all your assistance sir. I moved from 2009 rav4 to 2021 rav4 with 5years warranty and away from Nigeria’s bad road and bad fuel. Justin Trudeau God bless you.
kollykolly: Please oga Gazzuz. I use 2008 Toyota Rav4 with 2AZ-FE. Lately I found out the car is not responding accordingly with acceleration. It lags. They accused the plugs but after changing no solution so also the fuel pump. Sometimes it is so low that I hear some sound under in the front. Please help a brother
slimfit2: Hi Guru, Please what do you suggest. Camry 10, just 2wks in the country, last wk I was stuck in traffic for 3hrs (longest hr driven yet) and I observed d temp rose close to d max, after switching off a/c temp went to half way mark. It still has thermostat, bt mechanic says I shd remove it, he says fans are fine. Do I go ahead?
Lovelynife: Thanks so much sir. Can you advice I buy the fairly used Kia Rio for 420k and buy the engine (280k)or I should just go for fairly used 2008 for 850k but very neat.
Sadly I cannot give you advice without physical inspection
