You are correct... Mechanic complained of this when changing the oil.

the engine is bleeped up sir.

Try this

Drain engine oil.

Pour 4 liters of diesel (yes I said diesel) pour it into where there should be engine oil.

Start the engine, leave it to run for 10mins idling.

After 10mins drain diesel, open oil pan, clean the filter, open VVTI solenoids (if dual open both) clean strainers. Replace oil filter.

Pour fresh oil and use car.

Repeat these steps like 2-3times withing 5days.

Upsides, it might work

Down sides, it might start smoking.

.. please o, why must every one looking for a driver ask of experience. Rome wasn't built in a day na. Every skillful driver u see today making 100th weekly started from somwhwere. Please give the new drivers too a chance na. Meanwhile I still need a car o plz. Esanu

Let me explain our worries.

The experienced drivers already know how the business runs, and using them is less of a risk.

The new drivers will need about a month to learn the ropes. The question is at who's expense?

This is business, same with any kind of job in the formal sector, they will always look at your resume' and first thing they look out for is experience

but do not be discouraged, there are people out there willing to take a chance

winzy:
Something like this was said by the mechanic... So, what's the way forward? Boss

no mind the autocorrect I typed RETARDEO position it showed slow

Way forward? Confirm that what I said is correct.
Open valve cover and take a look inside engine

winzy:
Good day, people
This problem started when it was noticed that the engine oil light came on, it was weird cuz oil changed last year December or so.,
Added a liter to the engine, then took it to be changed [oil] while going there... It started this problem, if you crank the car on... It won't hold poor... It starts but doesn't hold power.
Took it to mechanic, not his work.
Took it to a renowned electrician, using his diagnostic tools... He said it's the crankshaft sensor... We have changed the sensor and still the same issue still prevail.
Please help !

Tekkyy:
Auto gurus please help.

My mechanic is clueless to what the problem could be.

The last time I filled the gas, the a.c. man removed all the gas in the system and told me he will need two bottles of gas to refil, but he will use only one for now, that I should bring it back later so he can put the second bottle. Is there a way to measure the amount of refrigerant in the system of the car and reconcile it with the amount required for the system to function optimally

every a/c system has a required amount of refrigerant. Example, the toyota sienna 1998-2002 with rear airconditioning requires 1kg of refrigerant. Refrigerant is not like engine oil or petrol that requires a top up later, it is specific. Please take vehicle to an a/c person who knows how to use gauges

Dear Gazuz,

My Camry 2011 model ac does not cool enough when in traffic but cools well when in motion what could be the issue?

.Just that someone’s been having a joke. I haven’t even viewed a Nairaland web page since July 2016.

I certainly have no intention of registering a profile on Nairaland now, or in the future.

It was great while it lasted, and I made many firm friends, in and out of Nigeria.

SienaGbudje:
Uche!!!

I find it amazing you still have temerity to act like we’re friends, after the damage you caused my family. Hmmm

SienaGbudje:

hmmmmm, so u finally finished this car at last?
does it drive now, hope u didn't break the bank?

lastly all ye demeanors, dancok not only got his car bonnet closed but now has a camera phone...... and some ppl don't believe in miracles!

another thing, make sure it drives wella oh before bragging.... it's easier to handle a fall from one storey than handling a fall from 3 storey.... if you know what I mean.

it might be a tad difficult to come back and post issues with the car.... issues like:
help my car is dancing skelewu on the road or my car makes gbooooom gbooooom sound anytime I accelerate! the worst part is gazzuzz might send a pic of the same car model and ur engine bay will be totally different!

and like my oga asked, would u relive this experience?

don't be quick to criticize me, afterall ur seat has long been taken by legalwealth
I can comfortably take the criticism now but can ur car travel to Ibadan?

Taxify has introduced destination trips. 3 destination trips daily as against uber's 2.... These guys mean business.

Until they can refund for unpaid trips I STAND WITH UBER ONLY

banky3w:
Is it a coincidence that your car is resurrected on Easter? As in the same time with Jesus? OK. As the Thomas weh I no be, I say 'roll the stone away' sorry....... 'open the bonnet' and let's see if the engine is still there! I hope it won't ascend into car heaven afterwards?
Meanwhile, lemme invite someone cc Shagati
