Thank you for the advice. I watched the mechanic check the wires and he agreed with you on the rate issue but didn't come up with anything. Hopefully checking the rank will she'd more light.
You still have money to throw around I believe. Have you bothered running a scan? The kazeem would tell you its fuel pump. You would buy fuel pump and all back to square 1. If he was actually the one who fixed one out of the three fuel pump you bought, didn't he see that the tank was dirty& fuel pump was stocked with dirt before now or was he blind folded. Are you never tired of trial by error or the experiments are not yet over? Hope you don't buy a 4th fuel pump

Another money wasted!!! cry

A 2011 should be a drive by wire. There should be a sensor attcahed to that kick down pedal if truly this is a 2011. I smell somefin fishy here

This sounds like a transmission issue. But from your story some is making your transmission and engine over stressed. Not necessarily may it be the culprit. Have you tried running a scan on the car? That should be the first way out. If your transmission oil is blackish and you spent 70k then this is sucidal I must say. Another wasted money embarassed First is to run a scan. Fault errors would be given to you, although from your story I wouldn't rule out the following

1) a blocked exhaust system

2) a low pressured fuel pump

If you need sp111 and you need a solution to your car problem. Call 08156087872 or 08165520837. Bbpin is 7BE1C522

No tracker, no picshuh
Tracker? All this tracker all around these days. My friend's sister toyota fortuner 2015 was stolen this month. Only for them to call the tracking company to shut down the car. If it has been shut down its only @ this moment as I type. The ride was bought 12m brand new. The ride was taken to a border town. We all belive the ride is in Ghana or other neighbouring Africa countries cry

AutoCarTracker:
the best advice to you is to go for proper diagnostic analysis using advanced scanners. you yourself will have to go to lab to determine what really is the problem. mechanics they themselves are not gods to know what the problem might be. they can only work properly when the diagnostic result is out. you will end up damaging your car and spending so much money yet not solving it. even the automaker cant certainly tell you the problem without first scanning to pull the error codes. just do it man and be free.

thanks, i also had the fuel pump changed completely but the jerking would not stop
Haven't you heard about running a scan on cars. Alot of things can make a car jerk. So how do you know which. A 2002 ride is obd2 compliant. Stop throwing money around .a scan is a step in the right direction

. . . upscale luxury vehicles like the above don't come with such transmission. Some of the peeps that can afford them have little or no knowledge of a stick-shift
Don't forget these countries are conservative in terms of finance. . They hardly drive suvs. More tax if they do

I'm already vexed with today's Automobiles, automatic transmission everywhere, u can't see full option with manual transmission.
I disagree. Each country's preference differs from one transmission type to another. Through out my training days over seas I never for once saw an automatic transmission. Was all manual transmission all through

Guys pls I need a help. My camry 1999 steering remain hard to turn despite changing the steering rack and changing the steering pump twice. The last mechanic I went to said nothing was wrong with the steering, I angrily left because I drive the car when the steering was soft and he is telling me The steering is normal. My atf is not leaking anywhere. What do I do guys?
Your car problem is still bwtween your steering pump or the steering rack. Am having a feeling that what was bought was a substandard or repaired which would only take you back and forth. If you are in lagos call 08165520837 or 08156087872 to get a solution
Car Talk › Re: Gear Selection Issue On Golf 3 by mayor2013: 4:22pm On Nov 09, 2015
Digriz:
My golf 3 auto started having a gear issue after draining the water in the gearbox that entered thru the coolant.It was moving and selecting well when d water was still inside d gear box.
The drive couldn't engage neither d reverse after flushing it wt fresh ATF. The mechanic discovered that one of the IC in the ECU has burnt,I bought another ECU and it started engaging bt hard select from first to second and stalls from second to third bt move smoothly to other gears.
I scan it and it show these fault codes.

00518(throttle position sensor-sporadic signal outside tolerance.)
00638(engine/transmission electrical connection 2-sporadic - no signal)
Are you sure it was only the gear box water was able to penetrate?
Water must have affected a lot especially the CAN

I fear this problem is a mighty one. Water a total destroyer of electronics, the first fault error code can very much make the car stall. Is yours a drive by wire or cable?

You need a very competent technician to help you out. If you are in lagos call 08156087872 or 08165520837, bb pin is 7BE1C522

Following the emergence of self driving cars, I am foreseeing a disturbing future (for me at least). Owing to the fact that I love driving not just as a necessity, but as a hobby. Fast forward 20 to 30 years from now, automobiles would have been totally automated taking away the driving from driver, I know it has its advantages... Ranging from reduced road accidents, to easy vehicle tracking etc... But then for peeps like me who just love driving, I really don't want to live in such a society... What do you think?
Kazeems would be reduced as they themselves might get to improve. I would love to see funny trial by errors on this self driven cars

2004 Liberty Jeep

Engine changed

Key not working with it

Needs rewire that is using machines or so
Your car has gone into lock mode. Am sure before they changed the engine the battery terminal was removed while the key was in the key ignition. Your key has to be realigned with the immobiliser unit and ecu for you to start the car again. What do you mean by key not working with it ?

Benz experts Please advice me. I bought a 2003 clk 2 door Benz from a friend. He wanted to upgrade so I seized the opportunity. We worked in the same office so I knew that the car was okay cos he was always driving it to work. At the beginning the car was fine but after parking it for like 3 months ( although I warm the engine daily and drive it within the area) the car developed issues. When I try accelerating whether am in motion or at a spot the car sounds like it's struggling then the engine cuts off or it becomes so slow no matter how much the press down. Sometimes when I restart the car it acts fine for another 30 minutes then starts acting up again. To cut the long story short after 3 mechanics one of which was the mechanic working with the car from day one, three filter and pump changes, change of plugs (4 plug engine), ejector cleaning etc the problem persists. The annoying thing is the car will perform okay for about 2 weeks then the problem starts again. The fuel Gauge has issues as it does not give a correct reading but I don't think this is the cause. Anyone with experience please help. Am already thinking of selling it again less than 6 months after purchase.
Does this car misfire?
Any smoke from your exhaust?
Did you bother running a scan?
Before you start throwing money round parts run a scan on the car first. Some fault error (s) would be given to you.
Your HFM could be bad you never can tell. If you are in lagos and you need proper diagnosis and get a solution to the problem. Call 08156087872 or 08165520837. Bb pin is 7BE1C522

I had the catalyst checked and was told it has blocked. I was adviced to remove it and be using the vehicle that way pending when I have the money to replace it. are there any negetive effects of usinh the vehicle without the catalyst?
High fuel consumption
Nothing to control the release of harmful gases to the ecosystem since the cat has been removed

No issues. Vw do not like abuses, the slightest abuse is detrimental to the car. Most you seeing for sale have been seriously abused by their owners. Would advice you buy a toks and before payment run a scan on the car
