Electroweb: How can someone detect that the evaporator is faulty? Remove it, pressurize it, place in a tank full of water, check for air bubbles. |

Sosaye: AC off. RPM is betw 2000-3000 that feels like a rattle.
Next question is it from the top of the engine or bottom? |
Car Talk › Re: Honda Civic 20014 Engine Noise During High Atmospheric Temperature by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:10pm On Oct 11, 2016 |
Sosaye: I use Honda Civic 2004 manual. Since the time I bought the car has been realiable. Its actually stated in the review of the engine noise especially at the high speed. I notice that when atmospheric temperature is high I.e during 'sunning' afternoon, I usually observe that the engine noise is high but engine is moderate during a colder atmosphere I.e in the morning, when its raining or just rained. type of sound? Rattle, tap, growl, ping, "kpom/kpokom " if you cannot describe the noise the diagnosis will be inaccurate.
Also because an engine starts on time does not make it a good engine |

MADent: Thanx all!
Coolant has been applied thousands of times and with my experience it can never solve overheating problem!
After a day spent at Gazzuzz's workshop, I learnt a lot of things while he was working on my car and he explained step by step as we moved on to finally solve the overheating problem!.
As a car owner, one of the crazy things to do is to sit at a workshop and watch them repair your car. You always get bored! And bored! And bored!.
I spent a whole day with Gazzuzz and it was the first time I will have fun fixing my car. Thanks
Thank you all, this has been solved...onto the next Next time you come we will charge you for lectures  |

yommy2yommy: my mechcanic blocked the hose from the radiator to the gear pls help on the pros and cons the car is volvo 850 I'm pretty sure he did not block it, what he did was connect both lines together. Those pipes are meant for heat transfer, to lower the transmission oil temperature using the radiator. By passing it will not have any immediate consequences, but later in future the transmission will develop faults. |

Car Talk › Re: Failed Coolant Level Sensor by GAZZUZZ(m): 1:38pm On Oct 11, 2016 |
honmusa: Your coolant level sensor is a two terminal digital thermistor,one terminal carrying the signal to the ecm and the other one is the ground . The issue u might be having can be either due to sensor issue or bad wiring.And to confirm which one ,unplug the sensor from its connector and run the car ,get a scanner and data stream the coolant level sensor pid with a suitable scanner ,good wiring will indicate 5v at the pid . If you need a professional to diagnose and repair this issue and you are in Lagos ,u can call autologic @08061166316 kumari089: Car Make: Volvo s80 2006 Turbo 5 Cylinder (AWD) No of Cable connected to Sensor: Not really sure but i think 3.

Ashuale: Hello oga GAZZUZZ,
Pls the floor of my lexus Rx 300 gets very wet and waterlogged, I'm very sure the water is not coming from outside, I feel it's A/C problem. What do you think? your evaporator (pic below) has a drain hose, it might be blocked, jack the vehicle up and poke it with a long screw driver or any long metal object to ensure the passage is not clogged.

The car in question is an Automatic ride. What are the implications? it depends on how far he went. But nothing much will happen, just readjust the parking brakes from the wheels. |
