Boss, you gave me this advice, I have confirmed its the solution but have not been able to carry it out.

The rewires I met says my car system can't be wired such that the fan comes up only when temperature is exceeding 90.

What's the way out Chief! Peugeot D8, XU7 engine

Dear Gazzuzz,

Great job you 're doing on this thread.

I am contemplating buying a Naija-used Volkswagen Passat FSI 2.0. ltr (07-09). Please what are the upsides and downsides of this brand/model? What should I look out for? Cost of parts? Availability of technical expertise for maintenance and repairs? Would you consider this a low or mid maintenance car (as a reference, my last car was a Toyota Avensis 04).

I will appreciate your response.

Thanks

Good morning Gazzuz,
my corolla 2005 bank type recently vibrates/jerks slightly when accelerating and same when reversing, plus at idle in traffic it goes to around 800 and some times wants to go off....kindly guide me on how to solve this issue...I stay in pH, tnx

a. Yes I do. Installed some xenon lights lately. I intend disconnecting them later this month as one got blown out already. But this actually started before I installed the lights. If I may add, this incident usually wud occur even without the beam on, the headlights just seem to easily trigger it. The sensation is usually as if the brakes are sticking while in motion but comes with a cracking sound.


b. Km please.

I used to have same error on my camry 05 i4. I bought another catalyst converter but the sensor wire cut and my mechanic fixed the sensor on the previous catalyst converter to the one I bought. No code came out for about a week. The check light came on and when I scanned it I got the P2423 (HC Adsorption Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1) code. I've changed spark plug, cleaned out injector, checked if there's a leakage in the exhaust but everything seems to be fine. My issue is the fact that my fuel burns out quickly.

My question: Could the 02 sensor be the cause of this P2423 as I put the old one. Would I get better fuel efficiency if I change it?

Didn't want to start another thread as this thread could serve as a fountain of knowledge for related issues

I have been driving my Car Toyota Camry 1999 model for months now with the Check Engine and ABS light on. After reading so much here I feel I need to scan the car.

The car moves well. The only thing I have noticed is relatively high fuel consumption. I just serviced it last month and I changed the plugs too.

Location : Airport Road Abuja.

Thank you

Greetings Gazzuzz and thanks for your immense support on this thread. You've also helped once with my Acura Tsx 2005 that's experiencing transmission slipping which was replaced almost a year ago on your advice.

Right now, I've got the following issues with the car and I'd like for u to please assist.

1. I noticed lately that the car decelerates sharply (as though the brake were engaged) whenever I try to flash beam my headlights at a vehicle ahead or press the horn. The sharp deceleration sometimes comes with a crackling/disintegrating sound that looks like it's from the front wheels. This happens briefly and the car gets moving again.



2. Lately also, whenever I'm in motion, at about 60 - 80, car vigorously vibrates briefly and goes to normal again. I changed the shaft cups about 5 months before and the effect that made me change them is not the same effect I'm getting now.

Your usual assistance will be appreciated.

If in 2017, you own a car and you dont have a portable diagnostic car scanner you can use for your car, then OYO is ur case o. Enough has been said about the immense benefits of having such a device. Also, because i have done the research which you may verify, i wouldnt advice bluetooth scanners, for the prime reason that obd was designed to be accessed 'locally', but bluetooth or wireless obd's bring with it the risk of remote access by other nearby bluetooth or wireless devices, unlike a phone where you can set limits to the discoverability. That being said, own an OBD scanner, scan ur cars, save your money, save your car, and save the heartbreak of leaving the fate of your car solely in a 'kazeems' hands. They are available for 16k and I can be reached on 08184733016, call or whatsapp. Cheers!

AC issue here please.l last week my AC was cooling at cold start but after about 1/2hr it stops cooling. Tech checked and found the radiator fan wasn't working,wiring ish so that was fixed.i insisted on normal connection no direct fan. Now the AC could be cooling now and stop anytime.by any time I mean the car can be on one spot and it will be chilli properly and I can be going 100km and it won't cool so there is no particular pattern to it . Tech said its the thermostat and recommended installing a manual thermostat. I just want 2nd opinion as I'm not too open to deviating from OEM setup. 05 Corolla cc Gazzuzz

oga gazzuzz,you know any one that want to sell his orobo?I have been searching since two month now with budget of 300k.

you are looking for a problem sir

GAZZUZZ:
We talked about sludge before and how it affects the engine, now lets talk about the engine.

Before we do let me state a few facts.

1. That an engine had been previously dissasembled does not make it bad.

2. That a head gasket had been changed from stock steel type to composite graphite does not make it bad.

3. That the mating parts of an engine has residue of our generic silicone gum on its surfaces does not make it a bad engine.

More details tomorrow when I have pics to explain further.

stanlotion:
Pls oga, I have a 1999 Camry, I just changed my compressor last week and during the installation, the previous one was frozen stiff, the technician had to vaccum the system to clear the line. I just observed today that the compressor has failed again. Now why is my Ac compressor always failing Technician said dirt is still in the system. Meanwhile he changed the compressor, condenser and drier at the same time. Am really in a fix on what to do. He is advicing that I buy a new compressor and condenser and that he will have to flush the system again. Am confused.

Lots Of Hulabaloo here, Let's keep decorum..
Car is meant for my personal use.
If you won't buy a flooded car, Your choice,
Each person is entitled to their own opinion.
I'm buying a Toyota which is a basic vehicle with few modules, the car is a Win Win. If it runs or not.

People bid as high as $40K USD For flooded cars whose real value is between 70-80k Usd.
If you don't buy it someone else will, And i definitely know what i'm getting into.

Do you know the cost a limited avalon with all options ticked?

Like elshanautos mentioned, The car will definitely run and drive perfectly again.
It wasn't submerged or buried in the OCEAN , It's slightly flooded...



Flooded car can be a blessing or a curse.
There are rules.
Make sure they are run and drive,
If it's a non starter, Make sure to know the water level.
Avoid flooded benz or bmw They have more dangerous electronics and modules.

Fingers are crossed, when vehicle arrives In Benin.
It will be inspected and diagnosed there first.
