Car Talk › Re: My Timing Belt Just snapped On Motion by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:57pm On Mar 15, 2017

Emekayoung:
Thanks to God and everybody who commented positively to this thread. The timing belt replacement was done successfully by a pro. Just that d pulley gave us nightmare while trying to loosen it. We had to tow the car from where it was to a panel beater's workshop b4 we could loosen the pulley. Though am happy cos all d stress is over and nothing happened to my ~~head gasket~~ valves.

Car Talk › Re: Camry Air Conditioner Automatic Compressor Conversion By Technicians by GAZZUZZ(m): 4:34pm On Mar 15, 2017

thank you inception.

Here are my views as regards variable displacement compressors (automatic)

In the corrola 2007-11 south african spec, what I have noticed is between 70-100 thousand kilometers of use, the compressor fails.

On the kia/hyundai products bought brand new in nigeria, the compressor fails between 36-70,000 kilometers of use

for the particular car in question camry 07-12 I have seen a couple that were bought brand new fail before they hit 100,000kms.

For cars bought from cold climates like Canada their a/c systems tend to last much longer due to lack of use by the original owner and I have seen toyota camry @ 295,000 miles with stock AC parts.

The VDC compressor is new technology, but not very reliable.

Now here is the problem. The VDC compressor does not tolerate a contaminated system, and the strainer for the solenoid that operates the swash plate will get clogged very quickly and the compressor will shut down.

When a VDC compressor fails, if the system is clean, a replacement of the compressor and condenser should ordinarily fix the problem.

But when the system is dirty you will have serious issues, and more parts will have to be replaced. A replacement of the evaporator condenser, and compressor becomes necessary, with a proper flush of all pipes.

Most technicians prefers to work with parts that can be tested by hand before parting with money. As a result they frown at the VDC compressor because ordinarily it can only be tested when installed in a vehicle (VDC compressors can be tested on a bench with a motor and a belt to create torque)

Also the thought of bringing down the dashboard in most cases makes the technician embrace the manual fixed displacement compressor.

The manual. FDC compressor can tolerate a lot of dirt in a system for a long time without breaking down. I am presently working on a hilux made in 2014, at 98,000km (mechanical work) but I peaked into the a.c system, and on discharging a little gas from the high side, my fingers became very black. Note the a.c cools perfectly.

There is no way of knowing how long a compressor has been used by just looking at it, for the manual FDC blocking the discharge point while spinning the pulley could give a perception of the amount of compression one would get from a compressor.

Another issue with the VDC is no seller in the ladipo market will give you a guarantee on a used compressor. There is distrust between seller and buyer, seller always feels the technician would cut corners, while buyer feels he was sold a defective part, it does not always end well in most cases.

If your vehicle uses a VDC (automatic compressor) and it fails, have it at the back of your mind that a new replacement will be the best option, but it comes a pricey tag, the cheapest brand new VDC starts from 100k for the look alike chinko versions, and gets to about 250k for some OEMs.

So it's more of cut your coat according to your size.

If you can afford it and you are ready to do it the right way, go for the best/ OEM.

Hope this helps.

Install new belt and give it a shot.

If e no start, prepare for the following.

The head cylinder will be brought down, you will replace a couple of valves, head gasket and other minor parts that might be worn out like cam/crank shaft seals.

Hello,

Just bought a Naija used vehicle and I was told I can't use the number registered on it that I need to register and get a new plate number registered with my name. I have never bought a car from someone before, my last car was Tokunbo and I duly registered it. I was thinking I needed to just do a change of ownership and continue with the number registered on the car, but o was told things have changed.

Pls I need your input. Experts in the house

contact pattybf 08023138853 for change of ownership and new plate number.

Car Talk › Re: Rebuilding My '13 Pin' (toyota U151E) Transmission by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:40am On Mar 13, 2017

Kashif:
Dirt picked by the replacement shaft(s), or dirt around seal finding its way into transmission.

If you are very careful to ensure a clean procedure, there shouldn't be a problem. Whenever I work on these, I always have a pack of disposable napkins around.

same here, never had that issue working on the 13pin, after the exterior wash, then we get down to washing the CV head with a toothbrush and a needle, if you see the ceremony it is not funny at all.

The scary part is when you buy a toks gear, I seldom buy a 13pin gearbox if it is still not evidently still attached to the engine, and the shaft cups still inside the gear. They are extremely careless in the market.

Shaft replacements have been carried out after the vehicle was left over night, and still had problems. I really dont think the temperature is the culprit.

ZF for instance, even asks you to ensure the vehicle is at operating temperature before changing atf.

what do you think the culprit is? Me I suspect 13pin winch

I have error code P2279 'air intake system leak' after scanning my car. Please what does this mean and how can it be resolved/fixed?
Mine is a Honda Pilot

Un metered air is getting into the intake side of your engine via a leak. For that particular design of engine leaks can occur easily from the top of the engine between the gaskets, the intake manifold, the PCV valve, the throttle body gaskets...

Car Talk › Re: Can Overheating Cause Break Failure? by GAZZUZZ(m): 2:36pm On Mar 11, 2017

moscobabs:
Hiace Omar Bus (Toyota)

the engine sits under the driver and front passenger. There is sufficient distance from engine to brake master, so in the event of engine overheating, the rise in temp should not cause a malfunction in the break master.

Over heating of the brake rotors caused by excessive braking could cause brake failure.
