A/C systems are very very delicate.

I work on A/C systems every day, and If you do not approach problems in a sequential technical manner, you will get less than perfect results.

I started this thread because I wanted to help out people with a/c repairs, sadly the questions I receive here are in no way technical, and my responses are like I'm speaking giberrish.

How many technicians use a vacuum pump? How many technicians use U.V dye to find leaks? How many technicians bother to check correct high and low readings across a/c systems with varying ambient temp?

People are more interested in price of this, and price of that, and they give vague queries like (My ac was refilled 2 weeks ago and it stopped chilling now what can be wrong?). I receive several mentions every minute, and it is sad to see a query that cannot get an informed answer. Until more techs that use precision equipment come on board the a/c repair industry, it will be difficult/impossible answering questions on a/c systems.

I closed the thread because it was becoming to tiring to respond and I felt bad ignoring those whose questions had no answers.

IF any one else will like to carry on the mantle pls respond here and I will gladly change the thread topic to whatever suits you.

Kindly help out, I have been hearing funny sound from my Toyota matrix 03, engine so I decided to do all mechanical fixing all to no avail.... Engine has be replaced 1ZZ but I just discovered that whenever Im driving it moves fine until it's in traffic and try to change to neutral it REV UP to 2 and above.
On getting home again last night I just discovered that the oil Alert is showing on the dashboard, while washing the car this morning the fan just started working without ignition so I removed the battery head and was searching for possible cause and solution which landed me here.
All Ideas regarding this is welcome especially if you've experienced this with a new engine change

Sadly there a lot of things posing foreign used engines in the market.

When you have the oil pressure light illuminated in a running engine possible scenarios come into play.

1. Low oil pressure from oil pump

2. blocked screen filter

3. excessive play between crankshaft and bearings.

4. faulty Oil pressure switch (very unlikely)

Now these possible scenarios have other possible causes, but all centered around a failing engine.

for the excessive RPM @ idle I would need to understand if your vehicle is a 2003 or 2005 (throttle cable or electronic throttle cable)

Morning bros Gazzuzz, I got a used 2001 civic recently and I am thinking of servicing this morning. What do I need to tell the Mech? Which oils should be used? And does it matter it the former owner was using different oils?

Just stick with what previous owner was using

2007 Avensis parking brake light, abs light come on and speedometer will not work. What could be wrong?

Also do you have any colleagues in Yaba area that you can recommend?

The abs pump is the module that processes speed information from the abs wheel speed sensors gotten off the pulsars on each wheel.

if you have no speed information, it means you have a fault in the abs system as there is no way all 4 wheel speed sensors will stop functioning at once.

Your problem is centered around the ABS unit.

have your technician look in that direction.

I have no referrals

Plz
Should I remove the thermostat of my newly acquired 2003 Camry toks. I observed the temperature goes up above the middle line approaching the high and the radiator fans do not start immediately with the start of the engine. Mechanics have advised I remove it.

I also observed that the car vibrates with the hood vibration conspicuous when the car AC is on. Plz advise.

There are cases where a faulty Thermostat will fail (stuck closed) but it is not very common. Have your cooling system checked (water pump, operation of the fans radiator , pipe leaks, and ensure you replace the Thermostat with a new one preferably.

Using a car without a thermostat will lead to increased fuel consumption, and excessive wear and tear of the engine.

Good evening Sir Gazzuzz

Please, what would you estimate as normal fuel consumption for a 2.4 litre Toyota Camry 2003 when working at optimal capacity.
I just completed some repairs on it after buying it as Naija used, as I indicated in my previous questions. When my fuel tank indicator light came on Friday, I bought #3000 petrol (approx. 20 litre) and as at now I have put 92 miles on it (148km). Note that the roads were mostly free due to the holidays.

Question:
Is the car performing or guzzling fuel? Any further tips to achieve optimum performance?

fair. but do you have any error codes on Engine computer?

For starters, engine is faulty, next is

You are on taxify lite If your car is below 2005 and you were wrongly placed on lite, go to the taxify office to complain. Or Sign up for uber.

I don’t believe that and I think you guys sell Naija short.

Out there somewhere is someone that can weld up a gas tank. I’ve seen fuel tanks to carry petrol being built in ordinary Ibadan.

the original Gas tank has been discontinued by manufacturer.

They now sell plastic gas tanks.

I am yet to see any accredited dealer of Cars or Mobile Phone recall anything in Nigeria.

Even Samsung during the messy Galaxy Note recall, the thing no reach Nigeria.

We kinda have a weak CPC (Consumer Protection) in Nigeria.

Toyota Nigeria (Elizade, Briscoe, Globe Motor etc) and Coscharis (Jaguar, Ford, Range Rover etc) do donate free cars to agency that are supposed to fight in justice done to consumers in Nigeria.

So once a dealer pocket agencies responsible for protecting consumer right, who go fight the battle.

A well-known accredited car dealer was said to be using a wrong engine oil grade to service new cars that are still under warranty and free service year, so if a car dealer can use a 20W-50 to do free engine oil change service for car made between 2010 - 2018 and such dealership is still in business till this moment, why do you expect such dealer to do vehicle recall.

Just passing jejely

I had a plan to join Uber/Taxify earlier this year but I don't have enough information. I've been monitoring this thread for useful info & tips and I must say, I've learnt a lot here.

I've been away from Lagos since 2009 for better path but I think now is the time to return.

I have 2 questions;

It won't be easy as a starter for the 1st 3 months & most partners may not want to give their vehicle to a new fish so,

I'm hoping to get a 2010 KIA Cerato, how efficient will this vehicle be for the business? Is it classy enough for a starter? I don't have enough to buy direct toks, can a Nigerian used in good condition serve a year?

Can I survive depending on Google map for movement? I have a premium app too (Sygic) that's very very accurate & updated

@gazz uzz @dru @The Car @iyae gin @daveo noja

The engine will cost over 600k for a replacement. Think it thru again.

The word fiance is highly overused .When I was a baby I was told you can only call someone your fiance when bride price has been paid. Or appropriate ceremony and concurrence between the two families has been done.

Regardless its never right to keep someone you are sexually involved with in the dark about your decision to move on from the relationship irrespective of the gender.

Finally you will need to improve on your "other room" skills, no woman will leave 4.0 V.6 for a 1.3. Learn to use that tool properly.
