Benz ML 400 started showing a dashboard warning to replace the coolant.
I have done that multiple times but I noticed it still keeps shorting the coolant after a few drive.
My office maintenance mechanic has checked and scanned but can not find any leakage anywhere and all the monitors look good and have no overheating.
So I am currently confused and need good hand to check and fix it
Snap the warning message, what year is your ML 400?

Was it involved in an accident that affected that part of the suspension area, check the bushings if they are bad or tyre has been cut and used, check if the lower control arm is okay, avoid buying used or tokumbo shocks, invest in a good brand new shocks.

My 2010 Honda accord V6 engine makes this loud clicking sound on cold start-up.

The sound eventually dies down when the engine gets warm but I worry.

Mech says to remind him on next service to remove and wash some filter beneath the oils sump but can't wait that long.

I stay in Abesan estate ipaja axis.
Better go fix it.

Good morning everyone.
Please i do need some help on what to do about the issues i am facing.
I have a corolla 2009 and i recently noticed the below code when i scanned the car.
P0172
P0420
P043E
P043F
P2401
P2402
P2419
P2757

The only thing that i have noticed is that the car consume fuel alot for a corolla. Apart from that, it drives smoothly.
Please i do appreciate if you help me analyze this code and tell me which is most severe for me to fix immediately.
I don't want to of not fixing any issue on time. I am still suffering for the PTSD of the car engine that i later had to change.

Thanks so much guys
Clear the codes and drive for some days accumulating over 50km distance then rescan again and post codes.

Good day everyone, I am in dire need of advice, so here's my situation. I currently have a Lexus ES350 '08 and where I live has terrible roads, My front and back bumpers look haggard, they always hit the floor and I am tired of it. So I am thinking of getting an SUV, but I am torn between Ford Explorer 2013 Limited and Mercedes Benz GLK 350 2011 both are Toks. I just want a car with serious clearance and that is moderately easy to maintain(I have heard lots of horror stories about Ford and even Benz sef).
Oh and if you have any better option apart from these two, I'll appreciate. The budget is 8-10M
Get a highlander or Rav4 or RX350 or even a 4runner 2010

Avoid that explorer by any means necessary.

Okay thanks. But the other normal 2.4l variants are good right?
They're more easier than those turbo, but all of them carry the same mama and Papa come.

I was considering the Lexus and Highlander before the whole exchange rate crisis. Now, the price for those have shoot up and I’m looking at a difference of 4-5million ish more than the Hyundais
Whichever you go for, avoid the turbo engine variants.

thank you.
In all honesty, I don't trust him because after seeing the code he immediately advised me to changed the catalyst in bank 1. when was discussing with people, I got to discover it is a trick to get me to remove the OEM and install china catalyst. then they would go and sell the OEM for their own profit, and the car might start developing issues along the line.
Don't you think it's in your best interest to all together avoid visiting a technician who you do not trust?

A mechanic fixes the car that you put yourself, your family and loved ones into and travel at a considerably high speed.
Incase you don't know, it's like trusting him with your life and those of your loved ones, yet you can't trust him for money or parts?
.it's an ironic situation or do I ignore this very dangerous picture I'm visualizing?

Personally, I don't joke with people that handle my food, health and legal matters. If any iota of doubt creeps in, I push the person involve aside all together. Your Mechanic and part seller too should make these group of persons.

Hello guys, I'm about getting an SUV and the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport and the 2018 Hyundai Tucson Limited caught my eyes. I honestly love how those cars look on the road each time I see them and of course, I like their interior designs and features too. But I'm not very familiar with Hyundai cars so I'll like to know how reliable and durable those cars are. I don't care much for the resale value, I just want a nice looking but solid and dependable car with nice features that can last me a while. How well can they hold up in our Nigerian roads? How's the cost of maintenance? Are their parts readily available in the open market?

I initially was looking at either the 2015 Toyota Highlander XLE or 2015 Lexus RX 350 F Sport but they're a lot more expensive than both the Santa Fe and the Tucson and even less packed in terms of features.

Please, I'll need experts and users of these cars or brand to help me make up my mind.
Highly debatable!
Especially when you're considering the Lexus (even though it's 8years older.

I have been using water to fill the radiator.
I don't know if it had effects.
Corolla 2011
Yes pls,
These are the effects of using only water in your car cooling system::

Water corrodes metal, it doesn't contain lubricant properties to lubricate the water pump, it contains deposits & minerals which block thin passages in cooling system, and water isn't sufficient as a coolant in extreme cold or hot temps.

Morning house, I am thinking of adding additional resonator to my car exhaust system to reduce the noise.. is don't have indomie any longer.. would the additional resonator reduce the noise and also would it reduce the fuel consumption? I want to learn from experience people in the house. Thank you
I'm not an experienced person in this venture so I'd be observing.

Good afternoon guys..I scanned my car and I got this code for Camry 03

P0113
P0102
P0420
P0016


Pls house need your advice before kazeem tell me otherwise
For P0102 & P0013, check if the wiring is okay, if yes, replace the MAF.
For P0420, replace catalytic converter or install a spacer.
For P0016, check OCV and VVTi. If these are okay, ask your mechanic to do a timing job on that engine.

Good day Engineers please what does this signs showing in my dashboard mean?
Check and ABS
1, Check engine light (scan to know why it came up)

2, ABS light (Check wheel bearing Or hub for clearance, then scan ABS system)

3, Tail light bulb burnt warning light (Check your tail light if any is burnt, replace with tokunbo bulb or original bulb).

Good morning all, pls hel , my 2007 Honda pilot do shorts oil and I do top it up for like 9 years . Now the engine fires well but it only smokes when on reverse with engine vibrating . Catalytic converter has been removed completely as it has expired. Two cylinder now doesn't fire any more but the plugs and ignition coils where proved ok . No gear issues . Is it adviceable to work on the engine? If yes where do I start from? Thank you.
If your technician is sure your coils and injectors are all functioning well, he and is sure he knows how to rebuild an has access to genuine parts, let him tear down the engine check for tolerances within the block cylinders and if it's within specs, let him rebuild. But I'd always advise for a replacement of engine.
