ZIMDRILL:
how can he start with alternator when he changed the battery and the new battery drained without him even driving the car ?

Kashif:
Nope. For problem isolation in case of failure, I decided to test the valve body first. Any idea where to get the mini-vci?

Oga Gazzuz, good day. Pls is it normal for air to blow out from the left side of my car AC air outlet in the dashboard while the car is on motion even when the AC is not on? I just noticed that recently and I can't remember if it has always been so. Secondly, how does one know faulty front upper arms of a car? The front upper corners of my car makes some noises as if there are losed or worn out bushes or tightenings. I have changed stabilizers linkages, later mechanics asked me to change the front shock absorbers, which I did, yet the sounds continued. The mechanic took one of the upper arms as sample to Zuba spare parts market to buy new upper arms, but he was advised that the upper arm was still OK. He came back, put it and even put more washers to make them tight, yet the sounds have continued and this is really disgusting.

Oga Gazzuzz. took my boss car for an oil change last week and instead of the normal 20w 50 oil we use the mechanic suggested we use 5w 30 synthetic blend..now after a week..the low oil pressure light came up..den few hours later..the timing belt broke.. we fixed it..the oil light came up again and the timing belt broke again..wat could be happening? vehicle is Honda oddysey with over 160k miles.
no noise...no oil burning and no oil shortage

prof2015:
started recently but i haven't done anything concerning it because it happens once in a while
But the frequency of it happening has increased. A friend of mine advised i have the carburetor cleaned

House Please there's something weird about my suv. When the gear is in drive and I apply the brakes to a halt eg in traffic sometimes The car continues to rev between 0 and 1000r/min and behaves as if it wants to jump and go. Now I put the gear in neutral to avoid the car driving itself and one day leaving me behind. Is this normal ?

prof2015:
oga gazzuzz my skoda octavia jerks while in motion pls what do i do to rectify it

kunmi007:
Please I need advice on this. I noticed oil leaking somewhere behind the engine. Took it to my mechanic to check, he looks at it and says we'll have to use gum to fix it. I was in a hurry and didn't even have time to listen to that. So I'm here to seek advice from a pro. What should I do about the leak?

Yommykixz:
Thanks for checking in, is there anyway we can work something out?

chekz169:

@depair n Amono, the timing was readjusted today and the check light went off but came up again after 30 minutes of driving. I rescaned and the same code P0340 was up.

Please what can I do again. More contributions and advice pleaseeeeee...

jazzyluv28:

Oga Gazzuzz, I'm patiently waiting for vehicle repairs pics and detailed explanations.
More grease to you elbows

mastro:
Very informative,
Another task that I know not to even think of trying

TCD:
thanks for this. a little clarification please ... what you are calling strainer..is it the same thing as transmission filter? if yes is it possible to get a new one and how much?

because my mech keeps saying something about washing what is blocked. and new one isn't available where we are. I usually prefer to replace with brand new.

cmoney22222:

TCD:
