It's a familiar problem. don't be deceived by any mechanic into buying clutch cable or any part. Tell the mechanic to put a padding on the clutch cable. He should use a thick ring pad on the end of the clutch pad. If the padding is not thick enough, the problem will resume after a few days. I will send you picture of what i am explaining

And finally we shall have genuine workshops that will re-fit our thermostat back. Bye bye to the roadies

pls, whom did he contest with and how many votes did each of the candidates pool?

BENUE:
Terhemen Tarzoor won the gubernatorial primary under PDP.

Master, u for post the pishur for us to see na

dem no want make naija sell petrol again abi? Dem wan starve arabs and nigerians of funds

CityNG:
OP, you need to replace your temperature fan switch except if the "rewire" has shorted the wire to continuously run.

Oh yes, roadside rewires, by default, always connect car fans to be constantly running. this process they cannot reverse. More reasons why we urge u guys to come establish decent garages here in naija.

AutosBay:
I would check the coolant sending unit sensor or a relay. (Keep in mind, it's almost never the relay..) But if it does it when its hot its 100% normal for that to happen. Does the car seem to be running at the same temp it always used to? If it was somewhat overheating or running at a hotter temp it may be keeping the fan on to cool it down after its off. A lot of cars will do that. But if its not doing it when its cold I wouldn't even worry about it. its totally normal for a car to do that.

Oh yes, Autosbay won the day. it is surely the coolant sending unit sensor that got soaked with muddy waters and thereby created partial contact. The roadsider got the entire unit soaked in water containing detergent (i was scared the unit will be damaged) and got it thoroughly washed and sunned. The fans and the airconditioner have started behaving normal now.

In all, the roadsider rewire collected N800 from me.

Thanks to all NLanders for the info.

Its ur gear selector. Take it to any competent roadside mechie and ask him to fix ur gear selector

Clue: it is fixed from under the car and not from the gear lever inside the car

German breakfast

the raditor fan blows at a very slow speed when the engine is off but never switches off. we had to remove one of the battery's terminals b4 it went off.

NB: the fan was still running even when we removed fuse 19 controlling the radiator fan

Its a 1996 VW vento. yes, the roadside rewires did some magic on the thermostat and the car starts with the fan running (with or without ac)n

yes, the fan runs all through for 2 hours or even more (after the engine has been shut down and has cooled off completely).

The vehicle's ECU was swapped some weeks back but all had been okay except for this new development. Now, the fan hardly comes on when the AC is put on (it comes on and off arbitrarily and without any protocol).

I suspect a bad relay or the coolant sensor (the roadside rewires will still feast on us again)

HELP!
I drove a friend's car and when i came to a stop, i discovered that the radiator fans are misbehaving. they are constantly running even when i off the ignition.

this is bad.

RIP brave soldier. You shall never hear any disturbing gunshot again.

Question: What currency do boko haramites use in their captured territories? is it our Nigerian naira or Boko riyal?

icemann:


If by any chance this is true brothels would have more money than CBN or Bill Gates.

guy, do u know the meaning of the word 'dwindling'?

Those thugs in Edo called "Oshiomole police" are vampires. They are selective in their extortion. If your plate number is not carrying Edo state and you cannot speak Bini or Ishan, u die well.

They will take you to their office along Sapele Road (b4 high court), deflate your tyres and then give you all sorts of outrageous charges.

I love Oshiomole but this is one of his worst creations ever!

@CityNG, abeg when will your Autel Maxiscan 509 scanners be available in Nigeria?

@cityNG, pls do u have an affordable scanner for volkswagen golf 3? What is d cost (if u have)? Thanks

News reaching us from USA has it that Professor Francis Suleiman Idachaba (OFR) is dead. He was Vice Chancellor University of Agriculture, Makurdi and also Vice Chancellor in Kogi State University, Anyigba.

He was a professor of Agricultural Economics in University of Ibadan. He hails from Idah in Kogi State.

He had made a lot of contributions to Nigeria's economic plans in the past. May his soul rest in peace.

Nairaland did not just crash. We only negotiated with Oga Seun and he agreed to retract some of those your mischievous posts and comments from the database. eg, "Stealing is not corruption", "Diaris god ooo", "Bringbackourgirls", etc.

We thank Seun for his co-operation in surrendering your identities and data to us in exchange for some ghana-must-go. He is an astute businessman.

@OP, u shudnt be comparing golf3 with halla. I expected u to compare golf2 with halla. Honda halla is 1990 model while golf 3 is 1993-1997.

Have u ever seen anybody use a halla as commercial taxi? No. It can't endure the ruggedity of constant braking and starting. If u need space in ur car, go for halla. If u need fuel economy, cheap maintenance, ruggedity and high resale value, go for golf3.
I have used both

if u are the type that wants the car to be in charge of your speed, then auto is your call. If you truly want to be in total control of your engine, then manual tranny is the best.
If you want your senses to be alert at all times while driving, go for manual. If you want to relax ur muscles and senses while driving (and possibly fall asleep on the wheel), then go for auto.
As for me, i love sleeping while driving and thats why i prefer auto to manual.

why do people wash their car engines? Effizy i guess. U buy a car, u open the bonnet and show people how clean the engine is. Anyway, lets hope water didnt get into the ECU.

Scan ur car with an OBD2 and lets see how we can assist

bank must reimburse. Reason is that the bank guarantees total security within the banking hall (thats why they carry out all forms of security checks b4 someone enters). If they wont reimburse, then they would have been encouraging customers to be making their security arrangements within the banking hall.........then we will all be coming into the bank with our arms and ammunitions to protect ourselves

@Siena, CV gaiter is not a common name in the automobile industry in naija. Could you pls break it down to a local workshop name for the sake of us?

for beating a fellow Nigerian in India, we are all expected to boycott all India-related products and services. Guys, pls run from Airtel

and i keep wondering where the name "Jesus" originated from. even the native Aramaic Jews in Israel (for those that have traveled to Jerusalem will testify to this fact) call him "Yeisa".

i am a die-hard card-carrying member of the ruling pdp. i stand for the truth. pdp remains my party even though indications are already showing a power shift to APC in 2015. pdp forever!

it will only make car theft and smuggling a highly rewarding business
