mider: Hi Mr Gazzuzz,
I drive a Camry 02/03
The steering is stiff both when I accelerate and when I engage the brake.
I have changed the power steering pump twice but to no avail
The rack doesn’t leak and I have enough steering fluid
What can be wrong?
Also, whenever I enter into a bump no matter how small provided I am speeding, the car always swerve slightly upon entering the bump or pot hole
I was advised to change shocks and I did but to no avail as well
Kindly assist on the two issues
Thank you Change mechanics. Stop doing self diagnosis. |

dillinger: Oga Gazzuz, good afternoon. I have an accord 08 that just came in from US and I noticed VSA, ABS and brake lights come on after driving for like 15 mins but later goes off when car has been allowed to cool down after shutting off engine. What could be the issue? Plz see attached. Vehicle requires a scan.
You can I hope it's a simple problem and not the pump that requires replacement.
With the ABS light on it might be a wheel speed sensor.

conyema12: Good day gazzuz. I noticed that my AC is no longer cooling as usual in my Toyota RAV 4 2006 3.5L, I went to an AC technician to add some Freon, however the AC stopped during the recharge process and the light started blinking. I scanned it and its giving me B1422 ( Compressor lock). The technician is telling me the compressor clutch is damaged, but I have a feeling that he over added the Freon gas into the system. I really need an advice from you Sir. The climate control ecu noticed the engine on, coil engaged but no rotation picked up by the rpm sensor on the VDC compressor. This will immediately throw a B1422 and disengage power to the clutch to ensure no added damage is caused by this malfunction.
So let's analyse.
Possible faults.
1. A Frozen compressor.
2. A faulty coil.
frozen compressor is a more likely cause. |

justiniyke29: I am not sure but I think I saw 120 and 50 something when they were checking it while filling up. Go back and check with varying conditions.
With rpm @ 2000
With rpm @ 800
Then it will be easier to decide.
The current values posted look like a faulty compressor. |

justiniyke29: I just got a Benz s500 w220 and I noticed that the ac only cools from the center console vent of the dashboard, all other vents blow hot air(as in like steam engine). I Ave drained and refilled the gas but it still remains the same. check high and low pressures with a pressure gauge.
if withing normal limits check the duo valves that transfer heat from the engine to the cabin. They are designed to feed the cabin warmth by regulating the quantity of hot coolant flow to the heater core. When stuck open the a/c will feel in efficient. |

Evans211: Hello everyone,
I use a Honda 2006 model. I’ve been having this constant issues with car overheating when I switch on the AC. However, it is every important to note that I’ve done everything possible to to rectify this anomaly. Basically, all necessary cooling stuffs are working. The fan is working perfect (2 fans), I’ve had the radiator washed out (which is a double cell radiator).. But the car overheats while the Ac is On still. It sometimes goes off while in motion.. I’ve to switch off the AC and after a minute or two, car picks off.
Highlight
1) Car overheating inspites having the fan working perfect, double cell radiator watched out recently, and as well as radiator coolant. It’s important to note that the fan Belt is working perfect.
2) When the AC is on, if the car doesn’t overheat in motion, it sometimes goes off abruptly. Until I switch off the AC and wait for few minutes before it picks up.
I’ve spent lot of money on trial and error mechanics but not sure what the exact cause might be. I’m considering changing the Fuel pump but I don’t wanna waste money since the exact cause isn’t identified yet.
Kindly help cause the weather is hot and need 24/7 AC while driving. Thanks in advance... Did you recently replace a fan unit? |

AgentGoat: who be developers  mjksho: Thank you very much. Developers? I don't know what that means. Anyway, the issue is the person is unable to source parts for that car in Gambia. The last time he busted a tail light, he had to come to naija to get it at ladipo and he was even sold a chinese part. So I thought buying the part from the US may be a better option. cc: luvinhubby  |

when working on a/c systems pipe welds should handled with care.
This system was always burning up compressor units and the high line was always getting very hot.
Pics will reveal why.
Welding reduces the diameter of the pipe if not done properly.

helium2: In the short term yes. In the long time, fares will keep dropping till Uber is not a luxury service.
A guy earning 150k a month cant conveniently take uber twice a week for a month.
A 1.5k trip twice a week comes to 3k a week and 12k a month.
Hardly affordable for a 150k guy.
Much less affordable for 100k guy.
Infact to put it in perspective, a lot of the guys driving Uber cant afford uber.
That is not an affordable service.
The future of Uber is in companies who own large fleets and are able to keep costs down while making up for small margins with increased asset turnover.
That being said, Uber will always be profitable for the lone driver who owns his/her car. excellent observation.....
Night gathers, and now my watch begins.......
This fence go soon full
