Who said Michael has to be a man? She can be Ebere's mother and wife of her father.

I got several messages from Airtel stating reduction in the prices of all their data plans. See for yourself below.

This is good news.

I smell a scam.

Its easy one, take the v belt of and check if there is a play in the pulley system of teh water pump, also check for leaks, the major failure of the water pump is a broken impeller or leaks through seals or damaged bearing, there are no serviceable parts in most.

My mech just installed a 78•C thermostat on my car and I've driven for long distances for several days now without overheating. I really don't know what happened, but I'm still monitoring the dashboard closely each time I drive for any sign of overheating.

guy please, in the name of God, stop posting toxic stuff here. This is a public forum and people tend to swallow stuff hook, line and sinker here. You still don't get it. The problem is that those synthetic have detergent property that washes off the sludge formed by 20w50 which is protecting the expanded rubber seals of the engine. When u "flush" in your context, u have just done what the detergent property of 5w20 would do but in a rather rapid way. This is just a recipe for leakages and rattling and hastened engine knock. So if u have used 20w50 for a long time, stick to it. No doubt manufacturer recommended oil grade is the best. Macmilla, was lucky with the location of his leakage. Most others may have very bad internal leakages that will end up as burnt oil.

Adding what you just said to my experience, I think the best thing to do is to revert to 5w-20 but CLOSELY MONITOR THE OIL LEVEL. If it's dropping, try to find the leakage. If you can't find it, then go back to 20w-50. I think it makes sense since there's no way to know the kind of leakage you will have or if you will even have a leakage at all till you try it.
I'm not a mechanic or an engineer, so I probably know next to nothing about cars. Everything I say here is based on my little experience and common sense. So I'm very open to corrections.

Now you know how it feels romancing the beast of burden you bought with your cash.

They say your car is like your wife. It needs much attention and care. You should know what will happen if you don't give your wife love and care.

chiboyo:
This is very informative, would ensure that I implement on my next servicing..
Please does anybody have any idea where I can get 5W-20 grade in PH?

There's a lot of it on konga. Just place an order and it will be delivered to your doorstep.

LadyBoss1:
Y that carrot lol u don spoil oh

I spoil reach you?

I totally second the above. I inspect all fluids levels every morning, I also inspect the car from up and from the bottom every now and then, I am my first and foremost mechanic. There is so much you can observe that no mechanic will ever observe!

Exactly. It doesn't matter the kind of job you do, you should enter under your car once in a while. My job is non close to a mech job, but I was under the car severally. Just jack the car, spread a mat on the floor and squeeze in. It's even fun to know what the beast looks like from beneath.

Macmilla:
I don't know how to describe it cos I'm not a mech.
It's leaking from the joint between the bottom pan and the engine block. My mech will loosen the pan, put gasket gum or whatever and mount it back.

Update:
After almost two weeks of battling with my oil leak, I think I finally fixed the damn thing.
Initially, we thought it was my bottom pan but after remounting it twice and finally replacing it with a new one, we kept seeing oil down there and my oil level kept going down. We then had to think out of the box. My mech opened the plastic covering the timing belt and lo and behold, the whole place was messed up with oil. It was leaking obviously from the crankshaft oil seal and oil pump oil seal. It drains down to mess up the pan making us think the pan is the culprit. We changed both oil seals. I'll still watch to make sure it has completely stopped.

So, to all those facing oil shortages after going back to 5w-20, just go under there, find where it's dropping from and plug it up. Nothing to worry about. Check the pan and all the oil seals on the block.

The oil starts leaking because it's much lighter than the 20w-50 which you have been using and therefore penetrates worn cleavages that 20w-50 would not penetrate.

I think the ppl that got knocked engine were not observant enough to notice the leakage and eventually they had an empty engine that knocked. Common sense should tell us that an engine with the recommended oil IN IT should not knock unless the oil is no longer in it.

So my own advice, change to the recommended oil, your engine won't knock. Mine didn't. Just watch out for leaks over a week or two of active driving. If any leaks, fix it ASAP and your engine will be happy. If you don't watch out for leaks by checking your oil regularly, ur oil might drain completely and ur engine will pack.

LadyBoss1:
Macmilla ur Dp really

what is wrong with it? It's just a carrot.

opestein:
ok then. It makes sense. Cos I tried calling dere customer care nd was told it can't work. Will try it next tym

I heard it doesn't work in all sims, so try at ur own risk.

opestein:
av u try using hotspot to android fone or maybe try using it on android fone to confirm if it works

I'm currently using it on my z10 and I can hotspot to my laptop too. So, yes, it works.

Two serious frustrations waiting for two men to marry.

opestein:
Airtel complete month is now #1400 for 3gb. Now beta dan unlimited month

I'm using this plan now, it works, but it keeps wiping my credit. Even when I don't have credit, it keeps telling me the last PAYU session cost some reasonable amount of money. It's really annoying.

theogabriel:
Yes, price increased to N2000=
They keep sending me SMS on that.

They are thieves. I will go back to my glo 3gb for 1k.

BabaTony:
My check light has been coming on for sometime now. I suspect some technician must have disabled it. Scanning yes I did- but i wasnt around when it was done and the guy who did the scanning was the one who identified the IACV issue and cleaned it. Other ideas?

Is the check light still on? If yes rescan, and this time, see the results yourself. Get involved in the diagnosis of ur car and don't leave it in the hands of ppl u probably know more than. We need to know the codes shown and You will be surprised to see that the so-called mechanic has chosen to ignore some codes saying "it has no function".

BabaTony:
I noticed that my car (Honda Accord 1998-“baby boy”)of late losses RPM suddenly despite my pressing of the acceleration pedal when on a journey but i get the engine power back if I really press down the accelerator pedal which after some time after changing to gears three or four the problem will start all over, now this happens erratically , I have not been able to notice any pattern like when the engine is hot etc. eg. i have driven the car all through this afternoon today and it didnt happen but happened in the morning period. The gears are also changing normally. I have just changed my ATF and engine oil and even the plugs recently. I have also cleaned the IACV but the problem still exists.
The RPM loss doesn’t happen when the car is in "Park" and I rev the car, it only happens when the car is in "drive gear"i.e when I’m driving the car. what else can I check?

Is your 'check engine' light on? If yes, have you scanned it?

This is what Aba made suits are like. Go and verify.

nani667:
The android 1+1 plan was never N1,500.... It has always been N2,000.... Only the Airtel BlackBerry complete plan is N1,500

This afternoon, I had #1550 in my phone and I dialed *440*161# and it kept telling me I don't have sufficient credit for the subscription. Why is this happening? Has the price been increased?

I wish I have money.

Can it fly for 20k?

At about 2 pm today, I was seated at my mechanic workshop when a young man in shirt and tie walked up to me and introduced himself as a WHO representative going around for the health awareness campaign, they check BP and if they detect any problems, they advice the individual. I asked him what is in it for him and he said he will sell some WHO drugs to the individual too. That was when I smelt rat and my Aba-boy sense clicked in.
Not introducing myself as a doctor, I told him to diagnose me. He brought out an automatic sphig but without the cuff and said it's a "computer diagnosis machine". He ordered me to stand on my feet, bring out my right hand and the dude placed the device on my right hand. He pressed the start button, the device started to vibrate, trying to pump the cuff, but without the cuff, it reported an error on the screen. He immediately took it, pressed the memory button and showed me a reading of 127/96 and said "your BP is very normal". Shuu? 96 dbp normal for a young guy like me?
He continued by saying my blood group and genotype which he mysteriously got correct. He congratulated me for it. He then dropped the bomb by saying that one of my kidneys is "balanced" but the other is "affected". I asked him, "affected by what?" and the dude said "NICOTINE, which you get a lot from the alcohol you drink." I told him I don't drink alcohol and this dude put it to me that I drank heavy alcohol in the past. When I mentioned I take about 3 bottles of beer in a year, he was like, "yes naah, the nicotine in the 3 bottles of alcohol has affected one of your kidneys and it will give you WEAK ERECTION and soon, you no go fit get erection at all. You have to stop it by taking this my drug. It's just 2 taazand".
Chei! One 'affected' kidney will give me weak erection and impotence? Nicotine in alcohol? I don shee chomchin!
When I introduced myself as a doctor, the dude packed his sphig and said "ok, doc, you don't believe me, ok bye-bye"
I called him a fraudster and begged him to come back and treat my "impotence" but he kept walking faster to leave the vicinity.

"Wrong catch"

Where is it leaking from?

I don't know how to describe it cos I'm not a mech.
