Thanks for the information. A 'professional' advised I use mobil 20W50 because the car mileage was above 150,000 miles. He was of the opinion that mobil 5W30 would be too light for the engine of such mileage.
I wouldn't mind to be educated about the choice of oil

That kind professional get as e be shaa.

Your owners manual specifies 5W30. As long as your car does not burn oil, go for it irrespective of its mileage.

Hello oga Gazzuzz,

I have a lexus Rx350 2008 model. I noticed a persistent check engine light, flashing VSC and Trac light on my dashboard about 3 days ago . It took the car for a scanning and P0017 (Crankshaft position, Correlation (bank 1 sensor B) was shown.

Recent technical history :
About 6 weeks ago, I contracted a driver to bring the car from Ibadan to Abuja. Unfortunately, the driver burnt my top cylinder gasket midway into the journey. He blamed it on faulty fan belt and water pump.

I got a mechanic to fix it, though I wasn't there. The mechanic suggested the radiator is changed to double cell and the thermostat removed. These were done and the burnt gasket was replaced. The car was managed to get to Abuja, though drove by another driver, despite the ordeal.

When collected my car back, I noticed check engine light, Vsc and trac light were on. I scanned it with these codes p0116, p0128 shown.
It was after I got and fixed another new thermostat and returned the electrical connection back to the factory setting that the P0017 started showing up.
Presently, the no sign of idleness and it starts promptly.

Would you advice I take the for the time chain refitting or continue to drive it that way?

NB: I used to service the car with a full synthetic Mobil 1 5W20 until 6 weeks ago when Mobil 20W50 was used

I would appreciate your prompt professional counsel..

Inadequate protection. Your car requires 5W30 if I'm not mistaken.

I stand corrected pls.

Any cheap Oat base coolant you can recommend boss?

dicksonadams:
is that Mannol coolant OK for Toyota matrix 05 too boss? Any review you can share... How long can it serve

As long as it's OAT based coolant, it's cool.

Abeg, shift. Depressed ko. He got himself into the mess he's in. It's nobody's fault he moved in with her with no job and no money saved either.

The same way you should've read my comment and passed. It's not your place to police anyone's comment here, so keep it moving.

No need responding to that moniker. It's a known troll.

Go to her office first thing tomorrow morning. Tell her that you have something to tell her that would cost you your job, she would ask why? Just pour your heart into her..

Good Day Nairalanders,
Recently am experiencing that while driving for a while, the ABS, VDC and Slip off lights will light up on my dashboard and my 2008 Nissan Pathfinder V8 will stall and drag on the road. When I scanned the ABS with my scanner, the following codes showed up:
1. C1131 - Engine Signal
2. C1156 - Steering Angle Sensor Communication Circuit
3. C1163 - Steering Angle Sensor Safe
For my steering angle sensor, I remember last year my mechanic overturned my steering and spoilt the steering angle sensor. I couldn't get another unit so I only bought the white spiral cable inside the angle sensor cos it had cut in some places and replaced it. Am in Abuja.
Useful information to fix the above issues will be appreciated.

Contact me, I can fix it t's okay by you.

I think I read that there's a slightly more powerful acura TL that comes with the manual transmission

The acura tl with sh-awd is 3.7l v6 with 306hp.

tmanis:
This is the answer that I need, that I didn't know I needed...

Ps: what if an E350 was throw in the mix?

What is an E350 compared to an Acura TL apart from the name and badge prestige?

Greetings Oga kingreign!
I know this is an old thread but I'm about buying a 2005 used Mercedes benz E320(Rwd). What is the reliability of this car and what's the current cost of parts replacement especially the SBC which I learnt it used to cost circa N350,000?
Please I need your advice on this.

Thanks!

Make we for chat Bro.

Hibiscuss:
Boss please I need help. I drive a rx300. I noticed one day there's groaning sound coming from my engine hood.

When I first bought the car, it was silent but now when traveling on highway, the groaning sound is very obvious.

My mechanic said it's the power steering pump and that it needs replacement.

Please is this true?

Physical inspection important. I can't tell what it is and if it's true.

Nice work you did Bro.


Hope you also upgraded the brakes...

The brake may be quite insufficient for the new power plant and we all know that's a suicide to drive such trucks with such engines.

*Sigh




I'm in Agbor, Delta State.

That's where you may have to search for a competent technician to fix it.

yvy1:
Hello car experts,

Please what do we do about excessive fuel tank pressure for 07 LX470?

When we open the fuel cap After driving the car for more than 10 minutes, the build up pressure is much. When the car parked after driving it for a while, hissing/evaporation sounds can be heard and sometimes fumes can be seen.

We've tried driving around without the fuel cap screwed on but little improvement was seen.

Please any pointers on how to fix this?

Thank you very much.

Your car problem needs a competent technician to take time in diagnosis of it,then repair it.

Where is the car located?

austino677:
Any solution to this "check" light?

Scan it.
As for the AFS light, it's a tricky and highly professional process to trying to work it.

If you're in Abuja, contact me I can assist with a free scan and diagnostic for the check engine light and the AFS.

NB: fixing isn't gonna be free.

Gilbertase:
But why the RPM so high on the Tundra though?? Overdrive disabled I guess. Once my ford edge gets to 80km/h overdrive kicks in. It wont rev past 2rpm and the speedo go dey flow dey go till 220. It really makes driving the car very enjoyable on long trips on good roads. Quiet and fuel-conserving whilst still delivering on quick acceleration. Even my old work car back in the day, a 1.6l Renault Logan 2012 with no overdrive did 210kmh on Benin-ore once like that and it didn't rev as high as this. Maybe cos i cruised into it and just held it there till there was nothing more to give..lol

even a 7 speed auto matic diesel v8 wont lie the way you just did.

It's alright, na cruise we dey shaa.

obidevine:
Thanks a lot but I'd really like to know what a regular Kazeem calls it

Tell them AC blender module.

obidevine:
Hello everyone, I'm making enquiries about Car AC system.

There is this device that controls the blend of hot and cool Air that comes out the AC vents . It's called "Blend door actuator".

Please who know what it's called in Kazeem terms I mean what does the regular mechanic refer to it as?

Does a Toyota Camry LE 2012 have a blend door actuator?

All cars with AC and cabin heater function (HVAC) has blend door Actuators.
It's a set of flaps that is controlled by small motors that turns and closes or opens to enable warm and cold air mix together which is then blown into the cabin when the AC or Heater function is activated.


I don't know what a regular kazeem call it. But depending on your trim of car, you may have one or more blend door Actuators.

Sunshyne200:

Hello Gazzuzz

Please I want to buy a car, but I don't want the options of Toyota or Honda as the euphoria and chase in Nigeria just made me not like any of the products.

Please I ask for other options(models) of cars that are good and reliable in this country.

Oga gazzuzz,

Want to do some bodywork on my car,

Considering using Elizade as they claim they can restore to near factory condition.
Kazeem at mechanic village says he can oven bake it for me. [Claims his price is considerably cheaper than elizade].

Is the elizade factory restore good value for money, or should I stick with kazeem?
Which do you recommend?

If you're based in Abuja or Environs, contact me for a very high quality job.

Thank you for this feedback... What would you advise I do...

I am a first timer and I jst got married,pls would it be better I go for a camry 2007 or a corolla 2007 or 2008?

Need help making decision pls

Congrats on your marriage.
Do a camry 07-09.

IceColdVeins:
Don’t mind me jarey! I’m also an advocate of the dim headlamps, I prolly was high that night, can’t even remember when and where I took that picture

F*UK!
And you weren't perturbed one bit?
Do you know you were endangering yourself and other road users alike by driving under the influence of alcohol?

This isn't funny a bit. It's a very serious thing. Anything could suddenly happen even when you're fully alert and with a clear head and the next thing is accident.

Pls stay off driving if you must drink, and stay off drinking if you must drive. Don't mix both together.


I'm saying this cos I have friends, colleagues, partners, family members, clients helpers etc using the road too and won't want any sad stories that touches.

21Bandit:
I can make it 3 million at most

Hope you know price of G35 07-09 abi?

G37 is more than 3.5m no body will sell a good working tokumbo that price.

ksmart027:
Unfortunately, a lot of nigerians are guilty of these, which make driving at night very uncomfortable.

If it's uncomfortable alone, then it's better. But it's not only uncomfortable, it's downright dangerous.

9icetoo:
Apart from the Infiniti G37, I don't think your budget can buy any of those cars on this list.
Unless you are buying Nigerian used.

His budget can't get even a G37
