You’re wrong.
The Avalon is cheaper to run and maintain. It’s also much easier on fuel.

Hello,

I be proud owner of a Peugeot 3008. But e be like say my radio dey give me tough time. Sometimes e no dey work at all.

I read manual and e talk say:

"Some functions are not available if the battery is not sufficiently charged."

https://99manuals.com/PEUGEOT-3008-Handbook?page=202

I dey always drive short distance. Na only few kilometers I dey cover per day, and na only once for month I dey drive few hundred kilometers.

Abeg, you think say na because of this kain driving pattern dey make my radio no dey work? I go appreciate your talk.

Thanks for your time.
I dunno, I don’t do Peugeot so I can’t answer for that. However, I’m a firm believer in driving your car regularly for long distance to warm up properly and keep things in shape.

What causes noise from the power steering pump? I installed another one thinking the pump is faulty but the noise started as soon as I put oil in the new one.
I have noticed that when I I accelerate, the vehicle veers to one side and to the other side during deceleration.
Golf 3
Check rack, pressure pipes and pump. Then bleed properly

Good day everyone. I have an issue here. My mechanic used the wrong oil 20w-50 for my Toyota avalon, instead of 5w-30 required. This happened last week, is it advisable to change the oil again this week to 5w-30 required. Thanks.
If you are very sure you’ve been using 5W30, you can change the mechanic then change the oil.

Greetings everyone!

My Peugeot 307 has started suddenly loosing power when I want to accelerate; climb a small hill or demand some bit of higher work from it. The engine seems intact and okay.

Even after changing the fuel pump, the problem has remained.

The milage on my car is 105,419.

What should I do, please. Kindly come to my aid.

Thanks
I don’t know anything about Peugeot (i dislike it), pls kindly seek assistance from a competent technician on how to fix this problem.

But judging from my experience with other brands, fuel pressure, misfires, blocked catalytic converter, failing transmission etc can cause this issue.

How significantly different would the cost of maintaining a 2012 E350 is to maintaining a 2015 ML350? Will it cost significantly very much to maintain the ML or the difference wouldn't be much?
It cost more to maintain an ML/GLE w166

The rewire Said car doesn't shock at all and fuel doesn't get to nozzlesn or lights on the dashboard came up except The BATTERY LIGHT.


What should we do?

Note: we have scanned it but The machine couldn't find any fault on the car.

Greetings dear Nairalanders,

I drive a Toyota Camry 07. About 6months ago my AC compressor got bad and was replaced with one that had to carry some connections with a certain unit from the follow come compressor.
Now the compressor doesn't function well when parked and also my engine vibrates slightly when the AC is on.
I met another technician who said I need to replace the compressor with a certain one he says is more suitable for my car.
Now I'm scared of uncertainties.
Should I go ahead with the replacement as advised again?
Also isn't the follow come compressor available in the market? If available, how much for tokumbo and how much for brand new?
Thank you all in anticipation of your response.
In my own opinion, you need to get brand new OEM compressor as well as other components which may have been damaged in your AC system

Good evening bosses..My Toyota Camry 2006 big daddy keeps shorting oil..I use Mobil super 2000 5w-30 which is the recommended oil but I still experience oil shortage after 5 liters I bought recently. I still bought 1 Litre to top it up…just bought the car from America 4 months ago..pls your suggestions would be highly appreciated
Check if oil seals and gaskets are intact or leaking around the engine, change PCV valve. If it doesn’t stop, prepare to replace valve cover stem seals and rings with genuine rings.

after scanning my toyota highlander 2005 bring this code please i need guru to interpret it for me
(1) P0705
(2) P0037
(3) P0174
(4) P0171
(5) P0705
(6) P0037
Clear the error codes, drive some days and rescan again then post the new codes.

As for the interpretation of the codes, I’m too busy and too lazy to start checking their interpretation but I know your scan too had interpreted the codes for you to know what’s wrong.

Greetings gurus in the house. Pls I need help with my 03 matrix. Just yesterday while going to work, I notice some strange noise from the engine side around the belt. So to be on the safe side I parked the car around the spot I noticed the noise. Cus it was loud. Checked my oil and trans fluid, scanned and no code. So I left the car there. Wen coming back in the evening, I picked the car when on speed u will not hear the sound but in traffic ithe sound will come back. Along the way, in the traffic the sound stopped and everything was normal. Only for me to later discover my drive belt was melting and smoking which was not like that before I picked it after work. And after changing the belt the sound returned again. Pls what can be the issue.
Your mechanic should isolate the source of the noise by taking off the belt, starting the car, if it doesn’t make any strange sound, he should turn it off, and start rolling ALL the pulleys and rollers by hand. He should also check the power steering pump, water pump and AC compressor pulley. He will find out the cause of the noise and smoke

Good day guys,
please I'm here on a very urgent issues, I noticed my Kia optima 2013( note. The car has a turbocharger ) , start giving out smoke but stop after awhile, when I noticed this, I talk to my machanic which suggest it might be due to worn out ring, although I did my research and discovered faulty turbo charger can cause a car to emit smoke, so I talk to him, and the car was taken to those that fix turbo charger, note. It actually did fix the issues, but this week when I did oil change, I noticed the smoke again, which made me wonder what might be the cause,
So, my question now Is, could it be the turbo charger that's the issue or the worn out piston rings,?
If it's worn out piston ring, it's advisable to replace
Or should I take the car back to those guys that repair turbo charged for further complain
Thank you.

Hello everyone, I have an urgent issue to discuss. Recently, I noticed that my 2013 Kia Optima turbocharged car was emitting smoke, but the smoke would stop after a while. I spoke to my mechanic about it, and he suggested that it might be due to worn-out piston rings. However, I did some research and found out that a faulty turbocharger can also cause a car to emit smoke. As a result, I had my car taken to a repair shop that specializes in fixing turbochargers, and they were able to fix the problem.

However, this week, when I had my oil changed, I noticed the smoke again, which made me wonder what could be the cause. So, my question now is, could it be the turbocharger that's the issue, or is it the worn-out piston rings? If it's the worn-out piston rings, it's advisable to have them replaced. Alternatively, should I take my car back to the repair shop that fixed the turbocharger for further complaints? Thank you.
What specific things did they fix in the turbo system?
Was the parts repaired or replaced?
What specific type of oil did you use?

I changed to another knock sensors and the engibe light still came on after clearing it.

The thing is, na tokunbo sensors they get here. Is there any way to get new or original tested knock sensors?
And you’re sure if the wire is not severed by rodents?

Pls drive for some days, scan and post here.

Go with your mechanic. Check the temperature of the external cover of the catalyst after test drive . Try driving the car up hill to see power. Test drive with Ac on. Check power with step down acceleration. All things being equal, a bad fuel pump can also cause this issues.
How? huh

I will check the fuel pressure tomorrow.

What about the TRC OFF and VSC lights on the dashboard?

Also, what about the knock sensor? I changed two different knock sensors and it's still not working.
Did you check the wiring harness that sockets into the sensor and how sure are you of the sensors good state?
