Hi boss Kingreign, I open my car oil filler cap while engine was running and noticed a louder sound and air blowing my hand when I place it there, what does this implies

It’s normal. The pressure build up from the engine running causes the air to blow.

koloqua:
I guessed as much, In my defense the mechanic I used to service the car used a 2 different oil SAE-40 and another instead of the previous owner 20w-50, that's when the smoke started and then it will stop after a while, but as I reverted back to the engine own 5w-20, the smoke doesn't even stop anymore.. all this happened due to it been my first car and no experience at all .

Any remedy ? Or I should revert back to the owner history of 20w-50?

Herein lies your answer.

kingreign:
You have caused harm to that engine. There’s a reason why we ask for maintenance history of a car and follow up on such. The 5W20 being either fully synthetic or semi-synthetic has detergents which has washed sludges that had formed over time from use of 20W50 and this has started allowing oil to pass through to the combustion chambers. Please, revert back to the oil 20W50 and if it does not stop, please get ready to either rebuild or replace that engine.

How to tell if your car engine has sludge without opening the valve cover

Dipstick, engine oil cap, borescope.

koloqua:
My car is a Honda Civic 2006..

The problem started few days ago, after changing the oil the seller was using 20W-50 to the recommended oil 5W-20

It started bringing out smokes at cold morning, but now it's worse..
It brings out blueish color of smoke and follows me anywhere I drive to, and when I accelerate, the smoke gets much worse..

Please advise

Please how much is the coil of the plug of a peugoeut 307? My mechanic is saying 7k? Isn't it too much

Genuine plugs are not cheap. I know even far back 2years ago, genuine NGK or DENSO could cost up to ₦8,000. That said, ensure it’s a genuine sparkplug!

Please how do I know if my rear Acura MDX shocks absorber is the one with the sensors? It is a 2007/08 Acura MDX!

Is your MDX a sports package?
If Yes, then you have the ADS.

If you’re not sure, you have to jack the car take off the wheel, look at the shocks and if you see a wiring which socket into the shocks, it’s an Active Damping System (ADS).

Reelz:
Okk.. seems it's a wiring thing cos I have never worked on my transmission.
Will get the TPS checked.. Thanks..

You’re welcome

Horbar1:
Good afternoon house, pls there's this VSC light that is always on my dashboard. The car is Lexus Rx 330, 2005 model. Please I want to know if this pose any threat. Thanks.

Vehicle stability control. You may have to carry out Zero point calibration but if you have performed it and it doesn’t go off, your ABS module or skid ECU may be having issues.

Reelz:
@ kingreign pls I got this
P0710 Transmission fluid temperature sensor circuit and
P0120 throttle position sensor..
vehicle is Toyota sienna 2002 xle.. hope no cause for alarm sir

Was the transmission ever worked upon?
If NO, pls check the wiring harness that sockets to the transmission. As for the TPS, you can get another installed. The sensor is on the throttle body.

mejai:
please, what could make my gear to stall while in motion. If I slow down, acceleration will be slow and it won't engage unless I switch off the car and restart it. Also, the ignition switch is trying to act funny. At times to put in the key to start becomes hard.

Accord DC i4

I can’t tell, please, scan and post codes here

So you didn't fear to be overtaking everyone on 3rd mainland bridge with this Micra?

The world doesn’t start and end in Lagos!

With all the undulations and bad sections, it’s only a mad suicidal fellow that will drive very fast on 3rd mainland bridge.

Bobbiet:
Good be morning boss. Please my transmission not going beyond gear 2 even after be servicing with Toyota gear box oil. Corolla 03

Scan car, if it reads Knock sensor, replace knock sensor. If it reads something else, check transmission harness if it still doesn’t work, replace transmission

Evening bosses

I’ll like to know what’s making my car steering ceasing when I try to steer and immediately it’ll turn off my infotainment system and I’ll feel the car jerk a bit.

It recently started happening. Then yesterday I noticed that whenever I turn left the car gives a creaking sound on the left tire.

Any idea what could be wrong sirs, I drive an accord 2013.


Lest I forget I scanned and it also brought out this code

Sorry for the delay in response, your code p0685 refers to ECM relay/fuse. You may have to trace the cause of that problem and fix it. As for the creaking sound, either your strut mounts, or shock absorber or bushing is damaged.

You’d need competent technician to diagnose and fix this. If you’re in abuja, you can feel free to contact me.

Donjuan77:
Mine is a bank Corolla 2005 model , the problem is that it doesn't bring black smoke out of the exhaust for you to see but when you dip your finger inside the exhaust u will bring out a very dark black carbon from the exhaust. Am so confused If it's consuming or not, cause my fuel gauge comes down easily. Pls if any body here had had same experience before should help me please, thanks to the house of nairalanders.

Scan it, post codes here so we can solve it.

Just went thru this whole thread from start to end again. Memories!!!

Kokomo:
Hi chief na i4

What oil do you use and how long do you use it?
For that code, you need to replace the VTC sensor by the right side of the engine, close to the engine side mount.

However, I suggest you clean that part to ensure no dirt or foreign matter is blocking the screen, then use a fresh clean oil after installing that part.

I don’t think anyone has a receipt for a basic centre rug and wall portrait. If it were a refrigerator, generator, phone or laptop - then that would be understandable. You can easily use an escrow. That is what we use here to prevent scam.

I have receipt for even my pressing iron and rugs. I’m very serious.

My fuel tank is licking... I need a replacement.. Please guys any idea of how much to get a fuel tank for Toyota corolla

Depend on the year model of Corolla and your location. Where are you located?

Kokomo:
Hello chief kingreign, how do I resolve a P0010 error code in my 2007 accord, most of the video I watched on youtube pointed to changing or cleaning the variable valve control selonoid, but accessing is too tight.

Please any pro advise would be appreciate

My oga, is your car a 4cylinder or V12 ?

nairadatti:
Delta state Asaba ,thank you

Access Road to the factory in ETU LGA. Akwa ibom is a world Class state ..damn

It’s not ‘ETU’, rather ITU. Itu LGA shares boundary with Uyo, Ibiono and Ikono LGAs of Akwa Ibom state, Odukpani LGA of Cross River state and Arochukwu of Abia States respectively.
