Really lucked out with the w201, A CIS engine not yet tampered with here is a great find. Thank you for teaching the indomies during the journey they need a reminder from time to time to respect their elders.

@GAZZUZZ, please what should I be concerned about in getting an Hyundai Elantra 07 car with manual transmission. I intend using it for cab ehailing business.
Thanks so much

Manual usual (not all the time) means Dana spec (made in Korea) you are looking at an abused engine/AC 9/10 times

Oga gazzuzz please I intend buying rav4 2007/2008 naija used in a week or two, what should I base my selection on or what should I look out for before contacting you for physical inspection? Which engine is better v4 or v6? And any other things u think I should look out for?

If you buy the V6 ensure its the front wheel drive. The 4wheel drive very noisy.

In summary get a sound vehicle

Hello Gazzuzz,

I would like to buy a MB GL450,MB GLK or BMW X6 as a second vehicle.I own a 2012 Camry.
I have heard a lot of stories about the X6 being quite problematic, though most of the claims are not substantiated with evidence.
My mind is drifting more in the direction of the X6.
What's your advice,please?
Thanks.

i have a Gl450 with extremely low mileage and excellent maintenance.

ndidibabe:
I just got a Lexus ES350 and all tyres are bad. I am in between buying a new China tyre or Toks cus of financial constraints. I have never used a Tokunbo Tyre but the guy who is going to fix the tyres is persuading me to save money and go for toks cus China tyres are not durable.

By the way a China tyre is 18k, that is
72k for the four while Toks is 10k for what he called commercial tyre which is 40k for all four.

Please advise.

Kindly avoid that specification of heavy duty tyre, it will drastically reduce comfort.

Inception:
The fuel injection system is not Electronic. I would say is purely mechanical. At least the one shown in your engine bay is not (the M103 is a 12 valve SOHC) with either 2.6 or 3.0 l displacement ( the 3.0 was found in the w124 and 126 chassis, but not the w201)

Thanks for the correction. They actually spray when pressure exceeds a certain threshold (about 50psi)

Why do i feel you guys are just out to frustrating the op.. God it's just diagnostics not repair really...

Op if you are Daring like me, and have some couple of money to throw around.

I suggest you dive into it, with YouTube and other online resources. Buy the required equipments, set your garage up. And Get going.

I'm 6months you should be good for the average car owners in your locale

There's a sample of what happens when you jump into things you have no idea about in Abuja, he relocated from Lagos, bought a scanner and setup shop near a carwash .

It's not about buying equipment (not every job needs a scanner) it's about understanding the principles of how these systems work and a supervisor to guide so you know how and what to look out for. You cannot jump to the finish line.

K-Jetronic (1973–1994)
Mechanical fuel injection, 'K' stands for German: "Kontinuierlich", meaning continuous. Commonly called 'Continuous Injection System (CIS) in the USA. K-Jetronic is different from pulsed injection systems in that the fuel flows continuously from all injectors, while the fuel pump pressurises the fuel up to approximately 5 bar (73.5 psi). The volume of air taken in by the engine is measured to determine the amount of fuel to inject. This system has no lambda loop or lambda control. K-Jetronic debuted in the 1973.5 Porsche 911T in January 1973, and was later installed into a number of Porsche, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lotus, Ferrari, Peugeot, Nissan, Renault, Volvo, Saab, TVR and Ford automobiles. The final car to use K-Jetronic was the 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6.

Fuel is pumped from the tank to a large control valve called a fuel distributor, which divides the single fuel supply line from the tank into smaller lines, one for each injector. The fuel distributor is mounted atop a control vane through which all intake air must pass, and the system works by varying fuel volume supplied to the injectors based on the angle of a moving vane in the air flow meter, which in turn is determined by the volume of air passing the vane, and by the control pressure. The control pressure is regulated with a mechanical device called the control pressure regulator (CPR) or the warm-up regulator (WUR). Depending on the model, the CPR may be used to compensate for altitude, full load, and/or a cold engine. The injectors are simple spring-loaded check valves with nozzles; once fuel system pressure becomes high enough to overcome the counterspring, the injectors begin spraying.

You do not need to take out oil from the system to pull a vacuum. You just need to evacuate the gas. Of course some oil will leave as you do so, but a lot will be left in the AC components.

Found the fuse and reconnected the pressure sensor located on the high line near the dryer. Everything functions really well now, but for a noisy cabin fan, sounds like it needs greasing.

Please help me with this please. I have posted this twice with no response I don't know if I have violated any of your rules. Biko please

I recently got a 2005 corrolla, Nigerian used. I recently had the AC repaired it work fine so far but I noticed that the temperature goes above the middle point almost quarter anytime the the AC is on a very long drive. This scares me that the car might overheat so I switch off the AC intermittently. Is this normal or sud I be worried?
Secondly I remember the AC technician saying I sud put a manual thermostat for the AC so it can regulate itself from time to time because according to him it seem the built in thermostat system is not working. Is it advisable to put a manual thermostat?.
Thanks boss

check fans, check temp from the a/c condenser, replace radiator with a brand new unit if over 2years running with tap water.

I was able to pull -14psi which dropped to -13psi after about an hour.

There's a really tiny leak, but I am not interested in taking down 27 year old AC systems looking for a possible seal leak.

So let me try fixing the small leak with a refrigerant with an additive that fixes small rubber related leaks.

Let's go back to sch so we understand how this works .

Time for air-conditioning...

Car came with a dysfunctional air-conditioning system so diagnosis starts.

First things first , let's see if the system leaks using our vacuum pump.

Note the AC connectors are old sch R12 type cheesy

Got the a/c gauges connected and pulled a vacuum. I looked for the high line but could not find it, so I worked with the low line only.

I have been a silent reader of Car Talk for a number of years and I must say that I have benefited a lot.

I am from one of the northern states where we have only one car diagnostic center. We call it "wajen car computer" which literally means the place you can find a car computer. That should tell you that my people over here do not know much about car diagnostic and those who know are being ripped off of their hard earned cash at "wajen car computer" just to scan their cars.

So I picked interest in opening a car diagnostic center and may be run my services at a cheaper price and also run a robust awareness campaign/advert on the radio on the advantages of scanning your car to detect issues in order to bring in customers.

But the thing is I don't have the knowledge to interpret the codes gotten from the scans. Is there any way I can be able to learn it? Cos just like "wajen car computer" I intend my services to be that where I just scan your car and interpret the codes detected and its left for you and your mechanic to go fix it.

Car Talk gurus, pls assist me.

What drives your passion? Money or knowledge

Engine bay needed cleaning, unfortunately you don't just pour water into this baby (woe betide you if you do tongue

) careful cleaning of components and spraying a coat of the right colour of paint on faded parts.
