billyG: Thanks,am base in PH. check your CTS kazeems calls the CTS 'cold start switch'. Most times, if they dont want to splice wires, they breach the terminal connecting to the CTS with a small strand of copper wire or they simply disconnect the CTS terminal from the sensor attached to the engine. If that doesnt work, check your fuse box, and tell an experienced technician to open your fusebox, from underneath the box, the former kazeem might had done the bypass from underneath the fusebox while the fuse box where fuses are attached to various terminals looks clean as if nothing ever happened. NOTE: im not responsible for any undesirable consequences. |

bliss11: I use mobile oil the car is camery big 4 nothing and d car is not smoking 1: Early model 2AZ engines (01-06) have slight oil burning defect from factory. Its a known well documented fact but its not as quick as you've explained. 2: alot of folks have consulted me on various ocassions to ask why Mobil (mobil 1 5w30) bought at some private resellers dried up in their engines, i dont know why cos ive not used mobil oil before. 3: Gather minimum of NGN220,000 for another engine. You're losing that engine faster than you think due to the rate of oil burning. |
Car Talk › Re: Guys How Often Do You Do Engine Wash? by kingreign(m): 10:09am On May 10, 2016 |
Siena: [color=Blue]The only issue with water ingress when an engine is steam cleaned, is compromised electrical connectors. If they have been "modified", then these connectors won't be water proof. Water in such areas can cause short circuits, partial or total.
Alternators are seldom waterproof, and are designed to operate even if water gets in under normal operation conditions. When driving in pouring rain, the engine bay does get wet, through the front grille, as well as from underneath the car. The fan also throws water over all components, including the alternator, ignition coil etc. If this will put a car out of action, then there's a problem.
Even with my mom's old Peugeot 504 GL, I washed the engine regularly with a hose and stiff brush, the only vulnerable area was the distributor, which I protected with a plastic carrier bag. This car never had any issues stemming from regular engine washing, and the engine bay looked mint. We lived in Benin City, with it's red dust, so I washed the engine and the bay once a very 2 weeks.
My Audi A4 Quattro engine is steam cleaned / pressure washed on a regular basis, I have been doing this for over 20 years, and I'm yet to suffer any catastrophic failure. On occasion, I have had a misfire, which has cleared itself as the engine warmed up, but this was in the early days. Now I run the engine till it's warm, then proceed to steam clean it while it's still running. Which is a similar condition to driving in heavy rain conditions.[/color] new idea learnt. Will try this soon. Ive always washed my car engine regularly and the engines of my customers cars especially after an engine or transmission job which may leave oil, grease or dirt stains. |

Car Talk › Re: I Scanned My Vehicles... Here Are The Codes by kingreign(m): 12:15am On May 08, 2016 |
cocoduck: Your car had multiple codes, and that 1diot said your car needs spiritual healing or something, then I said no, I believe the problems is a vacuum leak, then both he and his 1diotic friends went berserk, don't listen to them, what I understand is the these may be parts dealers, and they want you to buy parts from them, even without testing if it's really the part that is bad or another thing that the ECU it reacting to so throwing codes, that sometimes may throw you off if you are not careful, then I said if it were me who is diagnosing your car I will check for vacuum leaks first, using to scan tool, the computer is programmed in a way that it reacts in a certain way in a given situation, so if you know what you are doing or how it works you can easily know what is going wrong, or what the computer is reacting to, it takes just a few seconds , if you find nothing there you move to another thing, then they just hanged their throaght on knock sensor, forgetting that you said you car was consumming too much fuel, You see, I would ask, why is this car guzzling fuel like this? okay here is a list of things that can cause it. Vacuum leak (for me easiest to check) leaky injectors bad MAF Then check these three, if nothing then I am missing something, and what can that be? Then I go into research but they want you to go and buy and make. them rich, and I am an obstacle to it then they turn on me. Keep ranting like a typical ewu Gambia/Liberia I know you are. I still repeat you know nothing about car diagnosis and repairs. Keep exposing your half baked knowledge for all to see. I still repeat, anyone adhering to your advice does this at his/her own peril. |

erico2k2: lol guy some people do use water, but it works in same theory as you use water to check air leak on a tyre tube when you imerse it o n soup water, U know how we dey do bike tube back in the days, but in this case U just spray soapy water o n the suspected areas and watch it bubble, but for me that's hard work.So its grandfather method lol probably B4 the smoke test. true that, but the way this cocoduckfowl cocoduck guy is going, he may actually pour large gulps of water inside the line.

18x18 325 sqm. this plot is actually a high density plot subdivision zone (standard plot size in high density zones are about 15x20m depending on lots factors). In some housing development zones, no one can build above 2bedroom with minimum 5m space frm building to fence all round.
Really, a 4bedroom is even big for that plot if your plan isnt designed to manage the plot.
In your best interest, i will advice you do a 3bedroom flat or a 2bedroom groundfloor and 3bedroom above ground decking if your estate housing development administrators allow for such. All the same, the best people to advice you on this issues are your estate development administrators and townplanners in that local govt. |

Itulah: Get the ride and you won't regret your decision. This particular SUV drives like a car and very flexible. It drives like a big car, but its not too flexible. Interior space is cramped. Front chairs are not the most comfortable especially for tall people. The rear seats are cramped 3 adults will have a bit of tough time sitting in there for a long journey, cargo space is way smaller than imagined. The real joy of that truck is how well composed it is on the road and how it tackles dirt tracks (if its the ATTESA-ETS equipped 4 WD models you purchased). |

Explorers: You don't know? So if there's 50m deep water, you wil try it? You can try any of the coastal cities, get a speed boad and fly about 3kms away from shore to the open waters. I think you should get more than 50m of depth there, but be careful o cos there are lots of things to consider which you don't know.
50m is much, like from a goal post to the middle (touchline) of a standard football pitch. You wan send am to kill himself instead of committing suicide  |
