Good to know.

My 2007 crv is consuming a lot of oil, in less than 200miles the oil level will go below the second dot, and the fuel consumption is not helping at all at 85mile half tank is gone, right now full thank Can't give me up to 200miles self.

Car drives well, no black smoke, oxigen sensor is very OK.

But I think engine sound is not encouraging, the oil consumption is shocking me and no leakage

Looks like your engine is on it's way out from your description.
Ask someone to drive behind you and observe the smoke that comes out from your exhaust when you floor the pedal while driving.

As usual

Please what can cause some AC vent to be blowing very cold air while others will just be normal air?
I noticed that the driver side vent is just ordinary then after a long drive or very cold weather it will then be cold but the other vents are constantly chilling

Probably fault with the switching valves that controls individual climate settings.

Androidking:
More of the codes. So please wat and will I tell mechanic I want to fix and repair

What's the fault history?
You might want to take note of the codes then clear and rescan again.

Pictures of the car oŕ gear?

The container for the mobil oil used.

chamber2:


Yes sir. Mobil

You mind posting pics?
I want to confirm something.

OPEYEMIAD:
Good day all,
My Lexus ES 350 consume more water whenever I traveled long journey. So I change the water to coolant still the same.
And once the radiator dried up the car may stop in the middle of the road or even refuse to start.
Have check the radiator and even take it to mechanic to check if there is any leakage but they said none.

This is not normal, I top it with coolant every morning.

Please is this peculiar to Lexus or something is wrong with mine?

Thank you

You top gasket is most likely gone.

You probably changed the oxygen sensor with one that's not working.
Kindly call 07089030689 for further assistance.

XPaul:
I need help.

Anytime I press brake while driving, the hand brake light comes on. What can be the reason?

Also, my car consumes fuel aggressively. I have changed the O2 sensors but the errors still appears. Who can help with a technician that can assist with O2 sensors and AF (P1157 code)

Location?

I need full real time diagnosis on the vehicle and I want to fix anything wrong. I don't trust kazeems because they have done so much harm to the car.

What you need is a technician that knows what to check during pre purchase inspection.
You can call 07089030689 if you need further assistance.

Djdamian:


I need a very good honda specialist for civic vehicles. I don't mind the cost. Can you link me up?

Specialist for a civic?
What year civic is this and what could be so complicated in a civic for it to need a special technician to fix?

michytluv:
Good morning all,
Please I drive a Toyota Corolla 07, after driving in the rain and small portion of flood yesterday I noticed if I turned the steering down to left I hear the sound keh keh and to the right same thing. Please what could be wrong and what should be done

In addition to the poster above, don't just change the rubber, change the CV axle itself and avoid flooded areas.

Tapout:


Thanks, I'll have my mechanic look at this. it's an 010....can this affect the dome lights too, front and rear? I just realized the boot light and my clock isn't working too. I'm not sure how all these are interconnected.

Start your diagnosis by checking all the fuse in the car.
Replace any blown fuse with the right one.

jeff1607:



Are there any cons for taking out battery terminals after parking a car? Aside the normal resetting of the car's electronic systems

This in itself would make diagnosis difficult.

fashoo2010:
Hello guys,

Please I noticed my 2009 sonata fuel consumption is very high. Please what can I do?

Secondly, the gear 1 and 2 is biting/jerking, took it to one gearbox specialist here, after accessing it, he said it is not gear box rather it is brain box issue. I took the car for scanning, it couldn't detect it, the only thing the scanning machine detected is a defect sensor beside the engine.

Please guys, what do you suggest I do?

Kindly take the car to someone whose scan tool can access the transmission and post codes for remote diagnosis.
If you're in the habit of taking out the battery terminals, you might want to drive the car round for some miles for the control unit to register a fault code then rescan.
For further assistance if within Lagos, kindly call 07089030689

chukel:
shaft (cv joint) have scattered

Not necessarily true. Car could be starting from the 3rd gear and not from the 1st.
His best bet with this is running a live scan on his transmission to know what's going on with it real-time.

funnyfashion617:
2002

I have not scanned it. But I can't remember the last time I change or replace my gear oil

Kindly scan with a professional scan tool.

funnyfashion617:
Car drags while on drive and moves freely on R. Hyundai Santa fe

What year?
Have you scanned it?

modskiller:


1. I think it made a very very faint clock/tap sound when it gets to a particular point on when I roll it.

2. The vin is shows a dent free car.

At that point it makes that sound, shake the shaft and tyres and see if there's more play there compared to when there's no click or sound.
Sounds like that's the point it's locking.
Remote diagnosis would be difficult on this.

sammily:


Any opinion?

I believe you've gotten response to this on another thread.
The Ford will carry more load because of it's drive configuration.
Both can be fixed easily in a city like Lagos.

modskiller:


(1.) I jacked up the two back wheels and rolled them.

(2.) They seem to go in different directions when I rolled them with my hands, but there was no loud or really noticeable sound.

(3.) The front axle which the propeller is attached to seems bent to one side by few degrees, also the chassis seems to be bent towards the back too, could these 2 factors also cause the wheels not to spin properly when turning.

Please Note: if I’m going on a straight line there is no vibrations at all.

Thank you 🙏

Does the wheel or differential make any funny clicking sound while turning it?
You didn't state what position the gear selector was when performing that test.
Run a VIN check on your car to know if it's an accidented car.
Not sure it should be bent or slanted.

yemmite1509:
good day naira landers!

kindly help me out, I use a ford focus 2002 wagon, following are the issues am battling with.
* Odometer not working
* Temperature reader
* Fuel gauge. these are my major issues with the car.

Most probably a faulty instrument cluster.

modskiller:



Good Morning.

Please I’d like to ask and know the Reason why the rear differential/axle of an AWD Venza vibrates violently when the car turns at low speed.

Looks like the tires aren’t slowing down for each other when making turn.

Please help.

You've answered the question yourself.
The last time I checked, your vehicle does not have a locking differential. If it locks up for any reason, then the differential needs to be examined.
Jack all 4 wheels up and spin individually, you go see why

Sirchiboy:
.
Bro what do I do now.
Since I started this Bolt.
I keep loosing.
No single profit

jceesquare:

As suggested, get the car scanned.
Check if your brakes are binding.
Check for low tyre pressures.
Inspect and clean your air filter.
Check if you have a manual AC compressor.
Finally inspect the tip of your exhaust, it will tell if your car is burning just petrol, or oil as well to know the state of the engine.

You can call 07089030689

KingRex1:


Snr man, so I got this new honda accord engine last year, the mechanic used SuperV 20w50 engine oil on installation. I have done oil change twice using same oil but my mind no reach ground cus i feel it's too thick and I know better now.

What do you suggest chief? I plan on switching to Mobil 2000 5w30.

If you bought the car Nigerian used, use same oil weight previous owner was using.
If foreign used and the engine does not have sludge, use recommend oil weight.

ugreat:

How can one check if the compressor is manual?

The bolt holes would not match and would be misaligned to the mounting bracket.
There would be welded pipes to match the new compressor.
You'll also see non factory wiring around the compressor.

Sirchiboy:
..
So I should stop using AC

The compressor is creating unnecessary drag and load on the engine and that would translate to higher fuel consumption

Sirchiboy:


It is manual compressor.
They converted it to manual with rewiring

That's one of your problems sir

designmaverick:
Good morning Everyone. So I was driving yesterday and then the check engine light came up.

I got home and picked my scanner to scan the car and had this error code.

I’m quite confused what the issue is or what the cause might be.

House please help

Change the faulty sensor.

ugreat:

Thanks Boss. You're a good man!
Yesterday I took it to an acclaimed rewire, he drained the gear oil, open the sump, used my battery either to be 'sparking' the solenoid or reactivating it till my battery died. After that,the code is still there, the worst is I noticed the sump was not well sealed this morning. My battery dead. Very annoying process. Roadside mechanic go kpai person for this country.
For the timing,I will take it today for checks

I can imagine how you feel, but the truth is, he was trying to revive the solenoids by clicking them with the battery incase they were stuck.

Do not attempt any repairs until you have the transmission scanned with a professional scanner most especially when the fault is present.
