connkg: Lemme make bold to ask:
Why do both fans run when Honda '02 V6 is started cold? Temperature rises to mid-way mark in about a minute or two. No by-pass relay to fan. your thermostat has not been removed it is still there but your thermistor pins have been shorted out, to make your fans spin all the time.

mayoralex: mileage is 61k miles. 2008 model 2.0 HDI 61k miles on good roads on a peugeot! Rule out suspension issues unless there was previous work done on your front suspension that was not done well. check transmission oil level, there is no dipstick by the way so start by checking for leaks. There are 2 drain bolts in 1 position, 1 for checking fluid level, and the other for draining fluid. Find out if fluid did not dry out. |

mayoralex: the mechanic is suggesting that's it's not shaft, he said if it was shaft,the steering won't be able to turn. But the car can start, steering can turn but if select gear the car cannot be driven all the gears just acting like neutral wrong. Vehicle will still turn. But check if you have any form of spin on any side of the C.V joints, when the car is engaged in drive. This can be checked when vehicle is on a pit. Also check if transmission fluid is at normal level. |

mayoralex: no not v6.. 4 cylinder have you had any repairs on the transmission before now? Any work on the suspension? Start be checking the C.V joints (shafts), if any are out of place vehicle will not move |
Car Talk › Re: Lagos Style Of Vehicle Towing (Photos, Video) by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:16am On Sep 08, 2016 |
it is quite annoying when people that are supposed to enforce the law, are the ones breaking it. Iv seen this style of towing with over 7vehicles being towed by 1 van, I also saw one of the chains break and it caused terrible traffic until they were able to get them out of the way. In lagos a rickety tow truck without any turning signals will be used to tow a clean complete vehicle because the owner did no turn on the hazard lights when vehicle was parked. this revenue they are generating ehn 2019 is round the corner. |

dukeo: Thanks sir for this thread. I've almost given up although the challenge I'm having is partly related to one I read earlier on this thread. When I put on the AC, it doesn't cool much until I accelerate or rev the car then it starts cooling. I have also observed that the ac increases engine temperature when turned on but once the temperature of the engine rises especially on sunny days, the engine+the car vibrates like hell, only thing is that it doesn't go off like the other fellows own. When you park under that kind of condition and look at the odometer, it's reading almost zero.
Took it to the mechanic and asked them to increase the firing as they called it but that caused overheat so I had to make them lower it again
Car type Camry 2002 4 cylinder engine
I'm 80% sure it's 1AZ engine.
Please help From your description it seems you have a failing compressor. Increasing engine speed to get better cooling could damage the engine.
Connect gauges to the high and low side and watch the values in PSI, you can take a pic or just copy them and post here.
Good thing you said 80per. Engine should be 2az-fe |

Malawian: where can one fing this fuel pump wires? i have had this problem of my car jerking, one mechanic eventually figured it was fuel pump wire and fixed it. the car worked very fine for months until i took it for repairs in another mechanic [he changed the worn engine seatings] obviously he might have tempered with the fuel pump wires cos the jerking has returned.
so once again, where can one find this fuel pump wire and what does it look like. picture pls. This one is easy nah, take it back to the first electrician  |

Resido: @Gazzuzz. I drive a camry 2003. The passenger AC vent blows colder air than the drivers side. Please what can the problem be? when engine idle, or at all times? If at all times, you are low on Gas, which could be caused by a leak, leak is normal if vehicle a.c has been in use for a long time e.g I used my honda city 2007 from 2008-2014 without re-filling gas. If it is a recurrent problem you have an unresolved leak, which could be from the pipes, joints,compressor, or evaporator. |

NikzonConsult: How sure are you about that sir? It has been proven to work perfectly well by means of stabilizing the entire running system of a car thereby enabling the car to use lesser fuel. Please can you explain your reasons for the statement you made sir. Maybe it will help us all learn as well. I wish I had the time.

it's a bad driving habit to blare horns indiscriminately, one of the reasons we fail driving tests outside the country. Unfortunately Lagos is not a normal society, a lot of impatient drivers, it is possible to drive without blaring horns only when the horn is not functional in lagos |

mogreen22: @ GAZZUZZ . Good afternoon Sir, i would just try to shorten this as much as i can. I drive a honda civic 02. Been having issues with ac leak. Changed compressors, expansion valve, drier, evaporator still it leaks in 40days. Happened twice already and i recorded the days after i recharged it with gas. Seeing as i practically spent my nysc allowee on the ac, i Researched on how to find leaks cos my ac guy is definitely kazeem. Saw the dye test, ordered one. Its here, came with the torch and safety glasses but no manual on how to use it. So can i come over and you help me check it or we use your own kits to spot the leaks. What's your quote for dye test, please the ac is still cooling now and it would be good to have it done asap so I don't have to spend to recharge it again. Also do you vaccum?? Upload pics of the equipment you currently have, and I will guide you on how to use it.
I have a vacuum and I use it when necessary.
For a quote contact me privately. 08033910382 (whatsapp) |

Car Talk › Re: Highlander 2003 Engine Oil Leakage And Fan Refuse To Roll by GAZZUZZ(m): 6:47am On Sep 06, 2016 |
linaluv: ok guys thanks to all of your contribution . i very much appreciate all your input we finally took the car to the mechanic and they told us the car needs servicing so they changed the entire oil in the engine and also they changed a cup. the mechanic says nothing was wrong with the fans that were not rolling, the fans do not roll immediately as the engine is turned on. thats the explanation the mechanic gave to us .
the oil that was leaking is the engine oil and it appears to be coming through a cup attached to the engine(oil filter cup or whatever)the leakage was coming through the edges of the cup and so the mechanic chnged the cup and serviced the car. roughly N10,000 was spent
Thank to every one for the support and advice u gave me Red flag!! .
Engine oil .............. Oil filter................. Labour charges.......
What did you pour into that engine?  |
