Hello Oga Gazzuzz, Good day and Happy Sunday.

I recently changed three of the tires in my Toyota Camry 2011, it’s not been up to a week. Everything has been fine until I drove out to the express today and the low pressure light came on in the dashboard. I drove to a nearby vulcanizer who confirmed all the tires are full, I asked him what pressure is in them he said 45(I guess he means 45 psi) in all the tires. We tried to figure what the issue is to no avail, I asked him to reduce the pressure to 40psi which he did on all 4 wheels yet the light didn’t go.

I checked online and the recommended pressure is 32PSI for the tire(215/60R16), so I asked him to reduce it further, he said it will be very low, so I left it like that.

Could his be a tire issue?
is the pressure too much?
could this be a pressure sensor issue?
Or could it be the replacement tires (tokunbo) were not fixed properly?

I would highly appreciate your input please Oga Gazzuzz. Thanks a lot.

Does using cruise control have any effect on battery charging? I mean while using CC would a car's alternator still deliver the appropriate voltage for the battery to attain optimal charging? If yes, how are autos programmed to make this happen?

Normally, when I accelerate I always [b]feel the power exerted from my foot to the pedal and confirmed by the sound [roar] of the engine. But with CC none of that.

What's your take on this?[/b]

Good Morning Guys, I was asked to consider changing my oil from Mobil 5w-30 Super 2000 to Mobil XHP. The reason is mainly because its kind of difficult getting the 5w-30 here. It isn't readily available probably due to high demand or just scarcity of some reason. What do you guys think? Is there another recommendation I could consider? I use a Toyota Camry 2005 v6 Car. Thanks for your suggestion.

Oga Gazuuz, I take God beg you just come to my aid on this and I will appreciate your sincere answer as usual.

I have a Subaru 2011 model that always give me problem whenever I change the battery or stay for like one week before I drive it.

I have another vehicle(Nissan quest) with this Subaru Impreza but I have only one battery for both of them cos the battery for the Subaru is weak and I don't have any plan to buy new battery so I swap it whenever I want to drive any of the two cars.

I'm a weekend driver, I Don't have any reason to drive during the week cos there's bus that take me to and fro on weekdays.

So whenever I try to drive the Subaru, it will go off few minutes after ignition for like 5times in 15mins and it will drive for like a km then stop again, restart and still do that after like 20mins until the engine is hot and it will stop for that day.The issue will not come up again even if I drive it the following day but the moment I keep it at home without drive or warming it will still do the same.

The car was my official car bfre I bought it and the driver told me such issues never came up before maybe cos we used to drive it everyday and my new mechanic doesn't understand the problem only advised me not to remove the battery again that removing the battery could damage some sensors in the car. I may decide not to remove the battery again if that will solve the problem but sir I want to know if the mechanic is right or maybe it's something different that happen to it. Do I have any reason to panic? Pls advice me base on your experience sir?

Thanks very much.

My girlfriend has a lot of shame about physical intimacy. I think she enjoys it, but she feels guilty afterward that we’re not married, like she is betraying her very conservative upbringing. I love her and we have talked about getting married. She thinks that will make physical intimacy more enjoyable for her. But I’m not sure. The idea of spending my life with someone who is unhappy after every time we are intimate makes me feel hopeless.

Joe4lv:
Please Gazzuzz, what can I sort out to be free from these.

Toyota Corolla'12

Car jerks as if it wants to switch off or losing powers when I match my brake.

What do I sort it first.

Thank you

Happy Holidays, I hear a clicking sound when I fully turn my steering wheel and when I go over bumps. It's a Rx 330 Lexus. What could be the cause?

megacontrol:
Happy holidays guys,

Pls are there still approved Peugeot dealerships and/or service centers in Lagos that provides specialized services?

I have been using the guys at Oluwalogbon Motors in Ikeja but I've had a lot of repeat jobs over time. I doubt they are still affiliated to Peugeot OEM and I suspect they are just riding on past brand equity.

I hear there are other centers in Yaba and Lekki but I've not tried either as I'm not sure if its same kind of arrangement or not.

I have a Peugeot 301 that has multiple issues and I'll like to have a comprehensive check and repairs. Hence, I will appreciate any useful information that will point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Good day my Bosses in the House.

My Honda EOD just tripped off on Sunday last week while I was trying to park. Several attempts to restart it was futile. Called my Mechanic and he said it's faulty fuel pump.

Had the fuel pump changed.

Since then, the Car jerks while in motion with the Tachometer dropping and picking up. My Mechanic seems confused at this point and suggested I see an Electrician.

Any possible cause of this pls? And remedy too?

Alba3:
Appreciate nice contributions here.
I visited Ekiti with 04 Vibe. Had to change a coil and fuel pump due to misfiring and difficult starting car.
Look for a place to scan but only found one whose obd failed to detect car. I was advised to change fuel pump again and filter. After this car had shut off about 3 times on motion, though working very fine except this; had to leave it behind and travel till I can scan it. The check engine light is on and some mechanics suggest I change brain box(ECU) or fuel pump and filter again, also coldstart. Any suggestion, please?
