Car Talk › Re: Pls Advice On This Golf 4 by mayor2013: 1:50pm On May 22, 2015

You need to run a scan on the car. That should narrow down the cause of the Malfunction indicator light coming popping up on your instrument cluster. Why use total quartz 5000 since its not the right egine oil to use. Remember this is a VW. Any slightest of abuse would be detrimental to the car

Do not Use any of the above you have said sir. As for number 1 you would end up clogging up your injectors thereby causing driveability issues

Ok Thank you

Though I wouldn't rule out running a scan too

Car Talk › Re: Toyota Camry 2007 (spider)charging System: by mayor2013: 8:07am On May 20, 2015

@ op there is a voltage drop some where. I advice you do a voltage drop test that would reveal where you have a short in the circuit. Do you have any after market gadgets installed in the car if yes I advice you uninstall them too but before that. Also do a parastic drain test. As for the electronic voltage regulator its right in your alternator but since you said you have changed alternator 4 times all to no avail I would rule that out. Note that the maximum the voltage drop between your alternator and battery should be 0.4v anything out side this should tell you there is a problem within the circuit. Lastly take your car away from that incompetent kazeem mechanic you have . I hope this helps you

Simply nothing wrong with an ME system. One thing I would advice again is avoid the auto transmission. The slightest of all abuse is very dangerous

Car Talk › Re: Nigerians And Car AC Whala! by mayor2013: 6:21pm On May 17, 2015

Yes it damages the compressor. That is why some manufacturers have gone the extra mile to install an electronic sensor on their compressor so in the cases where the road is water logged a signal is sent to the computer box and in turns shuts down the climate control system

Your Malfunction indicator light should be on. Run a scan first. As for changing your fluid to z-1 yes that's correct but am afraid it might be late considering how long you have had the sea horse ruining your gearbox

Car Talk › Re: My 2 Months Old 1999 Passat Is Giving Me High Blood Pressure by mayor2013: 9:00am On May 09, 2015

Now reading this I would say is making laugh . @ op you claimed that your mechanic was able to seal up one end of the power steering rack. Just to point out something don't you feel the pressure mounted at the said end would force the power steering fluid quickly to the other end there by causing un easy flow of fluid through the rack thereby causing the other seal to worn in time like you stated earlier in your post.

@ op you want to know the truth or continue throwing money around? go change your power steering rack

You can't get an 06 for 1.4m unless you need one without a clean history (accidented)

appreciate Ur comment..God bless....but in terms of body size are they different?...am actually going for d LE edition

Same body size

Car Talk › Re: Upgrading 03/04 Corolla To 05/06 by mayor2013: 9:04pm On Apr 29, 2015*

It can't be done but doubt their competency. If you are going for the corolla make your research well. The limited edition (LE) is better compared to the classic edition (CE). Reason the ce comes with a manual glass winding compared to the LE which is automated. The LE comes with ABS ( antilock braking system) while the Ce doesn't. The 03/04 is same with 05/06. Just some minor differences from the logo region in front is diff frm the 05/06. Looking at the interior again at the cluster the 03/04 illuminates in white while the the 05/06 has a black like cluster. Its a good car I use the 2007 LE of it and its being superb. I just hope the one you getting at cotonu still has its catalytic conveter intact. Happy landing on your new ride cool

bro; thanks; I'll do just that; reall wish I could get a ver compatent person to fix this once n for all; how about buying another exxhaust? Won't dat just solve the probs;

Buying another exhaust when yours is okay. If you are given the price you might frown at it

Car Talk › Re: Please, Urgent Help Needed, Catalyst And Sensor Problems by mayor2013: 8:36pm On Apr 14, 2015

From your result its obvious your kazeem mechanic is just wasting your money. Bank1 catalyst can be accesed right frm your engine bay. That is the first catalyst that runs from the exhaust manifold to the engine. You better rescue your car from his hands. As for the rest of the codes which are pending go to your gas tank cover and check if its properly closed

A lot of things could cause start up issues on your ride. The lists are numerous. Have you run a diagnostic scan on the car. That would narrow you down to the problem rather than ruling out the foundation to the cause of the problem

thank Bro, I thought as much because the thing he removed was just so different and the place he brought that thing to fix was also totally different, soldering some things and making different contraptions, I wasn't just comfortable with myself and the things he was just doing, but since it wasn't my field, I just had to relax and watch, plus he assured me it will work very well and just fine... like before, when that sign shows I do a reset with diagnostics, it will take upto 2 months or even more before the sign reappears but right now it didn't even take upto 2 days and that thing reappeared ...... I just do not feel good with this at all....
