He cleaned the throttle body because the idle was stalling a bit. Only for him to bring my attention to the fan that it was supposed to start spinning within a few minutes that the thermostat needs to be removed. I vehemently refused and we argued for sometime over it. The car has NOT and NEVER overheated before even till now but he has succeeded in scaring me about the fan. Sir, when are fans supposed to spin without AC being used?

k2kay:
Morning All, pls I need urgent reply concerning how long it takes for fans in a car to begin spinning cos this kazeem came to clean my injector throttle body this morning and said the fan is supposed to spin after a few minutes. I had to stand very firm for him not to remove my thermostat.

I noticed fan spins when I put on AC and goes off when I put it off. So how long is normal without AC for it to spin cos he succeeded in scaring the hell out of me. I drive an accord 05.

Guys please watch the kinda oil you're buying, I bought a fake oil unknowingly and the thing don nearly scatter my engine

Even if there was traffic at Oshodi I would inform the rider that we would bypass Oshodi and either do Mafoluku to iyana isolo or we do GRA to ilupeju to mushin, why waste previous precious time in traffic when there are alternatives.

As per E-hailing thread, I de discuss from another angle so drivers can understand the other side of the coin, it's not just about drivers sharing experiences but riders too

MoonlightDrive:
What if you as the rider decides to hop out of the vehicle before getting to ladipo or your final destination, because of the heavy traffic. what do you expect the driver to do with the 1.9 surge. In such a scenario the driver is the ultimate loser. He has to burn time & fuel with zero chance of picking another passenger.

Ifeanyimark:
U reported beacuase he refused destination, and u r happy, dats wickedness bro, as a partner that has drivers on d road, as a driver urself

brogxy:
I hope your drivers don't reject trips that will take them to bad road especially flooded areas. I feel that driver should have his reason for not going towards your destination.

Temptee101:
Good morning sir. I have gone through this thread before but my questions are;

Is the issue fixable?

every car can be fixed

How much will it cost to fix?

unknown variable

What is responsible for the vibration of the engine when the A.C is turned on and the temperature moving from 0-1?

long possible list of issues. *engine mounts *IACV *Exhaust *possible wrong engine *Possible wrong compressor *possible engine abuse etc

Thank you sir for the great work you're doing here.

Temptee101:
Thank you boss, your work here can never be over emphasised. Thank you once more

I intend getting a Nigerian used honda accord 2007 (DC). During the course of test-driving the car, i noticed that when you on the AC, the engine will start vibrating causing the car to jerk and also the outside temperature instantly moves from 0 to 1. As soon as the AC is turned off, the car stops vibrating, the temperature moves from 1 back to 0, everything becomes normal. Please i want to ask,

What is the cause?
Do you still advice i go ahead and purchase the car?
How can the issue be rectified?

Thanks for your prompt response

Good day!

My 2012 Honda accord overheats but only when it is raining. I had to change my radiator cos I thought it was leaking yet the problem persist. I can drive all day without issue but within 5mins of rain, the temp begins to rise.

Anyone experienced this? what can I do pls? The mech said I need to replace my fan but the same fan works when it is not raining.

Good afternoon house...I have a 2000 sienna that has started to consume water excessively. Every morning before I drive out I fill the radiator up and then fill the reservoir container up to midway point. By the following morning, the reservoir will be totally empty and the water level in the radiator will also be be down. And I see no leaks after checking every where . Pls what could be the cause? There's no overheating whatsoever as long as water is there. Its discouraging me from buying coolant cos I can't just be wasting money on coolant daily. Cc Gazzuzz and co.

Josiah360:
I didn't scan it myself. I have attached report from the inspection of the electricals. The car is running fine, everything seems to be working perfectly. I'm just worried about the report.

GAZZUZZ:
Post the codes from the scan.

Josiah360:
Sorry sir, I mistook ect for ecu. It isn't the brainbox that is bad. It is the ect and O2 sensor. How much will it cost to replace both?

and please leave your phone number.

Thanks.

Good morning Gazzuzz

Please, I invite your comments on this scenario: I assisted a neighbour with my battery to power his vehicle on Sunday, I had to disconnect the terminal. I noticed that when I restored it afterwards my check engine light which had hitherto been on (EVAP codes) was now off and has remained off since then. Is it something to worry about? I used an elm scanner to scan yesterday, and there's even no code in the ECU. Thank you.

She's not been around for a while now..... unlike her.... Gazzuzz how far ...has it happened?

Areaboyfriend:
I have been interested in this uber /taxify business. I feel in love with taxify when I visited Lagos recently. I spoke with a driver driver and he said some of them could remit 30k per week.
What do you guys advice? Bearing in mind that I don't reside in Lagos to monitor my drivers. Is having a supervisor necessary?
