Small small... belle no de hide where demeanors plenty.

Gazzuzz. Top of the day to you sir.

Please I need your help before this mechanic spoil my car for me. Straight to the issue

3weeks ago I took my car to the mechanic for a regular brake pad change and to change the right front absorber cus he claim it was bent.

After the change, I took the car same day from ilorin to Ibadan the same day and didn't notice anything.. then from Ibadan to Lagos and back to ilorin the next day. I noticed some grinding noise whenever I press the brake on my way back to ilorin from Lagos so I took it to him back and he did one or two and said the car was fine.

I drove the car to Lagos last week Monday and the sound persisted, my friend in Lagos took me to his mechanic who said my brake disc needed to be filed as it wasn't even and that the last brake pad had worn off so much it affected the brake disc.

He took the brake disc to Turner and said everything was fine. When I drove the car from ijushaga to surulere, I noticed the grinding sound was still there and worse, the car now jerks when I try to brake.

I took it back to him and he said it was the brake pad that wasn't even, he did a couple of things on the brake pad and said all was fine.. took it back three days ago and the same jerking and grinding noise is still persisting, I'm even scared of driving the car as it is.

Now I'm scared of taking the car back to him for the third time.

Do you have an idea of what's wrong and do you have any person you can recommend me to around Ajah axis to help me fix it.

Car is a Toyota Camry 2008, 2AZ engine

I'll be expecting your reply.

Thanks

I noticed an increase in my uber fares recently but the last trip I did really got to me. I picked rider around adekunle, yaba to oba akran, ikeja. I ended trip and saw #2450 without traffic or stop. Rider paid but me I know fare shouldn't be more than #1500 so I wrote to uber before I pick uncle Gazzuzz. Below is their response, uber for president!

Yes! Comprehensive history report was gotten and even a comprehensive scan was done which only gave two faults regarding AFS and AC.

The transmission didn't show sign prior driving it within city except when it was put on higher speed on the highway.

When it broke down on the highway, it was towed to somewhere not far where a transmission oil of N16,000 was used to top it up.

It was detected to be leaking profusely and didn't pick up. It was towed back to the city where it was detected that the gear was previously

worked on say in oversea when dismantled.

The buyer although still spent N225,000 to fix the gear but still had to take it to the dealer for some say minor faults detected and reported earlier to be fixed. But the said dealer is making it look like the buyer is just trying to put the whole blame on him although the deal of the car was based on TRUST between both party.

Boss Gazzuzz, my Honda accord 2008 vibrates when AC is on and gear is in Drive but this doesn't happen when in reverse and when AC off.

I have installed the new radiator already with coolant. No issues again whatsoever, except that the temp Guage is no where close to half mark.
So I wanted to put back the thermostat, but I need to be sure it still working.. That's why I'm here. How can I confirm if it's working �

solutionboy:
Good day great man Gazzuz, Please I have been using water in my radiator for a longtime now but I want to change and start using a coolant. Hope its OK. vehicle is Honda civic 07

apexquest:
Boss Gazzuzz, I was ill-advised by my mechanic to remove my thermostat some months back when I suffered an overheating wahala.

I bought an almost new radiator now, and temp Guage doesn't even go beyond the quarter mark. I plan to put the thermostat back.
But I want to know the layman's way of testing if thermostat is still working well before I put it in.
Thanks.

Hi Gazzuz

my camry throw this code last week: P0402 EGR Excessive Flow Dectected

i check online and was told The DPFE (differential pressure) sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced

Please share me your experience. Need to change my transmission oil, recommend me good brand if possible with pics

Thanks

I want to do this but am really scared.

I saw a video of Eric the car doing this by pouring water bit by bit. Is steam a safer way cause my engine makes the knocking especially during harmattan season?

What about the CAT converter, does it not clog it?

If i do the steam, for how long should one do it?

I am thinking of boiling water from a kettle with a pipe connection to intake.

Good afternoon Gazzuzz,

Please what do you think about Volkswagen Passat 2008? Intend buying one from a friend

Djswad:
sir why is it that u usually advice us not to go near a Volkswagen product does that mean Volkswagen aren't good or that that particular German machines are not good sir

ALADE4J2:
Oga GAZZUZZ and other experts in the house, pls help. The car jacks, shakes and consumes so much fuel since I changed the engine and gearbox. The RPM is below 1. My Mech has not returned from Lagos and I need help urgently as I stay in Abuja. Please help me.

ArcFresky:
Thanks for your quick response.
I bought the car from a friend, 4 months ago.
I will be replacing the car very soon, and I will be contacting you before doing so.
Thank you.

Oga GAZZUZZ, pls help, I think I'm being extorted.

I took my car to my mechanic for basic oil change earlier today. But to my supprise, he claim to have discovered some faults. He said one of the engine holder is damaged, and that the 3 Boris linked to the sharft are spoilt.

Although I noticed unusual stiffness when steering the wheel, and that the front of the car is almost touching the ground, but I assumed that is due to small tire size.

The guy now is charging me 15k for the fixing, including oil replacements, is that a fair price, or I should change my mech

ArcFresky:
Hi Gazzuzz,

My car, a Honda EOD 2008 v6, has radiator issues.

The radiator fluid drains quickly. I have had a mech check for leaks, but could find none.

I have also changed the radiator cover, changed the raditor e.t.c.

This time the mech says its the Gasket.


Issue 2: car engine is always vibrating during movement, especially on the first gear (its automatic).

Issue 3: when I accelerate too fast, when gear attempts to change, the car starts jerking, I have to take my foot off the gas pedal, before is changes.

What do you advise?

ello Oga Gazzuzz and other pros in the house oo.
My Honda CRV 00 doesn't shift gear anymore.i just got the
car (Naija used) and everything was working fine until my recent trip
when passersby called my attention to oil gush from underneath the car
while inside lasgidi traffic...i parked the car luckily my mecho was with me,
he did some first aid fixing,got some oil to enable us drive the car home.
next day on way to drop car for mechanic(10mins drive) for permanent fix,
i perceived burnt smell.mechanic said the hose that links transmission to
radiator for cooling transmission is the culprit and it was changed and remedied.
new ATF bought and the car was driving well until 8days after when the car was
so sluggish in moving,mechanic said gear/transmission is gone and will need a replacement

.....i scanned the car and i got these codes.... then i checked online and i got this descriptions..
