honmusa: since your car was working fine before the addition of the Ac definitely the culprit that will be responsible for any issue is the compressor. Your ECU cannot sense the presence of the Ac in the power train hence fail to adjust the engine power correspondingly to accommodate the extra compressor load. check the original compressor probably your car is supposed to use automatic compressor but manual is used instead. You have said it all |

MurphyG1: Machine was used to fit in the bearings and I am sure its meant for the car. The right rear tyre is very well worn off all round while the left one is wearing off from the inside. Wheel alignment and balancing |

MurphyG1: Hi BMW Users,
Can you recommend an experienced BMW Mechanic to me in Abuja? I use a 325i 04 model and the rear tyres are wearing out. I changed the bearings last year when it was making noise. Its not making noise now .. cld it still be the bearings?
Please recommend a good one asap. Thank you! How was the bearing changed ?Kazeems would rather use hammers to fit in bearings  I also hope the bearing fitted in there are meant for the cars if not this is one of the end results you get. A much more experienced engineer should look @ this for you. Are the tyres extremes weared off? A pix might help |

Pets › Re: Parvo Virus by mayor2013: 11:31pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
@ op its better you treatment your dog yourself. I can tell you from experience that the vet coming around would note solve the problem of the parvo virus. Parvo virus is like diarrhoea in human involves stooling and vomiting at the same time and in worse case scenario can lead to death. Not to forget it causes serious dehydration. Here is what can help out.
Your dog excretimg blood means it has gotten to a worse case so your chances here is 50 50
Buy
1) amoxil 500mg . Use this every 6hrs 2) white flagyl (1) 3) buy bleach e, g jik or hypo. Used to clean up its surrounding not to forget you dealing with a virus so you habe to be aggressive in treatment. Where the dog excretes. Pour jik immediately there 4) glucose and syringe without needle. Pour the glucose in water and take some solution with the syringe and administer it to the dog repeatedly
Note: do not force the dog to eat as this might make it worse and also isolate all other dogs in your compound from the infected dogs. No food at all as complications may set in
I agree with you about a cross breed dog having such infection but another note this virus is hereditary and can be transmitted across the dogs lineage. From my experience the rott weiler have a weak gene to confront this deadly virus. But I for sure know boerboel has got a stronger gene to withstand the parvo virus. My opinion and am writing from experience |

What is the cause since the car is not smoking and no leakage. What type of 5w30 oil did you use? What is the mileage on your car? How long have ypu been using 5w30? Are there previous times you experience shortage prior to this recent shortage? |

lonelydora: No. It works with the relay. In another thread here, someone said he changed the relay and the overheating stopped. I will check that too. Thanks. Very possible could be its giving its way out |
Car Talk › Re: Transmission Oil And Engine Oil by mayor2013: 8:54am On Dec 26, 2015 |
Lets do simple mathematics here. Your forte oil which is 20w50 (viscosity). I recommend 3000 miles or 1month while 5w30 (synthetic) I recommend 6000 miles or 6 months which ever comes first. Now if you use forte oil which 3k5 or so for very month plus a good original oil filter ehich is in region of 2k I.e 3500+2000= 5500 if you do that every month for 6 months is equi to 33000 which do you think is more economical. As for synthetic (5w30) you service 6000 miles or 6months which ever comes first I, e 8000+2000 = 10, 000. No service charge included in both |

Car Talk › Re: My Observation On 2003 Honda Accord V6 by mayor2013: 8:17am On Dec 26, 2015 |
Check all this. But before that does the water in the radiator dries up?
Check your fans if they arr working optimally. Check the speed at which they are moving
Check the cells on your radiator. Might be weak.
Is your thermostat working well
Also check your radiator cap. I have treated cases of over heating culminating to be radiator cap issue
In all carry out a cooling pressure test. That would reveal what is actually happening |

depair: I scanned my car and got the following codes p0440 p0441 p0446
How can i resolve this i no too get money. Tank vent recirculation system. First clear those codes and drive again, secondly make sure your fuel tank cover is properly locked if the fault error still persists. It means you either have a bad purge vent valve solenoid or your car's canister box is bad. As a result of over filling your tank and leaving your enginr running while refilling your tank. What car are you complaining about here? |

Cc: Gazzuzz and the other big bosses Abs means antilock braking system which prevents your car from skidding when the brakes of your car are fully activated. If you have that light on advice you run a scan since your car is obd2 complaint so as to pull out DTCs. One of d reason for your slight delay in braking |

I tried it again now and the car is working perfectly again. what I discovered is that the issue only occur in the morning when the engine is cold and once sun heat it, it start working fine. Seems like your battery voltage is low. Check power source first then run a scan |
