Edunwa302: Hi everyone, Please has anyone in the house use dodge caliber SUV before someone is offering me one how reliable is it and is the spare parts available? I understand that it has 1.8 - 2.0 engine model could it be the same thing with corolla? A very good ride. Doesn't come in 1.8L comes in 2.0L and 2.4L. very very durable. Parts do not come relatively cheap shares some parts with "JEEP" are you looking at getting the CVT transmission type. Avoid road sides in your best interest if you getting it |

lilkech: Please what might be causing my gear lever not to move up into R and P and also not to move lower into 2 and 1. It’s only moving between N, D and D3
I had just changed the cv joints, knock sensor, fuel pump and the whole engine fuse box before noticing this as the mechanic finished his work.
Is this an electrical or a mechanical issue? The mechanic went under the car to remove the gear cable and yet the gear lever is still not moving into those gears.
Any suggestions? I don’t have a scan tool What car is this |

Yes the thermostat can cause a high fuel consumption. Without the thermostat your ride would run in an open loop system which means she would be thirsty for fuel |

Car Talk › Re: I’m In A Serious Dilemma. I Think My Car Key Has Been Duplicated. by mayor2013: 7:48am On Feb 08, 2018 |
Alexkene: Thanks. You have been helpful.
Remember I said that the original key was lost in the Auction where the car was bought in USA and they programmed a metal chip key for the car, which then came with it to Nigeria.
So, I should be expecting to see two keys in the antitheft system. 1. The one that came with the car from the U.S and 2. the one that I recently programmed in Oyingbo.
Any other key in the antitheft means my assertions are right ??
Ps: the image below is the kind of key that came with the car from US. You can never be sure that way. Don't forget no one has time to start deleting key information on the immobiliser unit. It's necessary in some cases of programming but not in your case. Car was bought brand new in the US. Last owner in the US might not have had previous key info deleted. Note:There is a maximum to it not to forget |

If it's not Bosch then it can't be any other battery. Unfortunately you cannot see the cells in them. The materials used to define them varies accordingly.
Shelf life of a conventional battery is 4months after which should be subjected to a standard battery charging |

Alexkene: Something just came to my mind. What if I visit another programmer to scan, or check and tell me how many keys were programmed during the last programming.
Sirs, Costee, greenhulk, Oluwaseunla, GAZZUZZ. Is this not possible? Very possible. Get a good scan tool go to actual values on the immobiliser control unit and see how many keys have been programmed to the antitheft system. Very very possible |
