GAZZUZZ:

Ignore this advice before you get High BP. Every pressurised hose will feel hard when touched.

Replace pressure cap.

Maybe some cars like mine are different I don't see mine hardened

honmusa:
Your radiator cap is bad it unable to hold the pressure which is why ur reservoir is overfilling.
You will get this same symptom too if you have leaking headgasket .

I like this.

Let the op be sure he is experiencing an overheating issue. In order to be sure. Carry out a coolant pressure test. This would reveal what is actually going on

When car is warmed up touch coolant hose. Check if its strong when been felt. If its strong when engine is properly warmed up then you have an overheating issue

A 2007 Honda ? No brand. Specify brand of Honda. Why use palm oil on a ride like this.

Signs of overheating if you are sure you didn't fill up past the full mark

Run a scan

Good evening guys, drove through a bad spot and noticed the airbag sign came up.

Should I be worried?

What car is this? Run a scan on the airbag system to ascertain the cause. Be informed your airbags would not detonate in case your car is involved in a collision

These manufacturers are getting tired daily. Getting tired of fines been imposed by environmental protection agencies. Fines running into billion of dollars. That's why they keep coming up with different means of dummy technologies of cutting emission strict laws. Germany on this are even more strict. I hope they get this right

Denn:
First, the Nigerian used car market does not make a dot on the planning and research process of vehicle manufacturers.

Second, the spark plugs are only used during Cold starts and at certain RPMs. Current ECUs can manage secondary air pumps, I don't think an ECU designed in 2017 wouldn't be able to know when there is a need for spark or not.

As regards octane, I even think this car would work better with a lower octane fuel. I can share my theory if you want.
Cheers

If you know how diesel engine runs then you wouldn't be able to draw up conclusions. They have clearly made a statement of Making two technologies as I have earlier pointed out. Who knows if they know the homogeneous tech is a failed one already. I might be wrong though until we the engineers visually see and feel this on our dirty hands

AFONJACOW:
I want the one that run totally with water

If your wish eventually comes to past and scarcity of water falls on your neighbourhood . Who you gonna blame. Mazda or government huh!!!

kenx1:
Thanks for your response..... a tracker was installed recently......can that be the cause of the problem

It can if installed wrongly. Prior to the installation of the tracker does the battery drain out?

This article shows they (mazda) are confused. Why bring out the homogeneous charged compress technology first and Later come up with the spark plug tech. I pity who ever buys this in Naija with our low octane rating fuel

Hello Car Gurus

Please help me my Toyota Camry 2010 model drains battery easily, i have checked the alternator and battery they are OK but after parking the car it drains overnight.

Can someone tell me the cause of this drain

Thank you

You have a parasitic drain on your car. Do you have any after market gadgets installed on it. Have you checked your charging system if it's OK with the help of a multimeter not a bulb. What is the health status of your battery? Has a voltage drop test been carried out? If all the above are in order carry out a parasitic drain test

hapheeyxz:

Are you sure previous ones were not joined by welding

MightyThor:
Changed this on my 2001 camry twice already. Though in the space of three years. As am typing this it is already broken again (two weeks back) the car is still being used till next planned total repair and servicing in two months time.

Make sure you get appropriate fit. Also make sure your suspension parts are okay

uch72:
Mayor nice hearing from you, what I see is ment.req not check engine. I don't no what you mean by fan running directly, I guess my fan come up when ever I start the car and stops when I off it.

If its Maintenance required it can be reset. Check your owners manual for that

Not new

GAZZUZZ:
reasons why swaybars break in Nigeria.

1. Bad roads.

2. Wrong sway bar links installed

3. Rust on the swaybar its self.

4. Height modifications on struts.

5. Excessive play on swaybar bushings.

5.5 Village people.

Have you scanned a car.and gotten "village People" as a fault error

Malfunction indicator lamp. You have a problem in your power train system. Run a scan to ascertain the problem. Also run a scan on your Abs system too so as to retrieve an information that would lead to fixing the problem

uch72:
Pls, am having a fuel consumption challenge with my Honda accord 2003. It seems to me it consumes alot. I cover just 60km with 10L of fuel. Is that not too much. Need some advice on how to remedy it.

If your check engine light is on. You need to run a diagnostic scan to ascertain the cause of the high fuel consumption. Also I hope your cooling fans are not running directly?

Please, how did you manage to break this part on a modern Toyota?

Naija road

EgunMogaji:
That is not a sway bar link but the actual sway bar.

Correct.

Sway bar link. Are you telling me you do not hear unpleasant sounds on suspension parts of your ride?

You wan use palm oil. When you are asked to buy gear box you would start squeezing your face. Reach out to Honda DW1 atf

Hello Autolanders,
I have been driving this Honda Accord (2002 Model) popularly called Honda Henessy for about two years now. A few weeks ago, the car just went off in motion. Initially, I tried to kick thinking it was due to fuel shortage, but realised noticed that the sound was different. I had to contact a mechanic who confirmed that the timing belt had cut and I fixed it immediately.
Now the problem is that after it was fixed, the car started stopping abruptly on its own once I step on the brakes. I have to wait a few seconds to turn it on again. I contacted my electrician who suspected accumulation of dirts in the fuel pump and he serviced it thoroughly. The problem ceased for a while but recently re-occurred. Mind you, the fuel pump has been confirmed to be in perfect shape.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem may be and help me with solution(s)?

Run a scan on your ride. Yours is obd2 compliant. Fixing cars these days have gone beyond the scope of performing magic/ or guessing

Yeahmee:
I don't think so. It started after a shaft seal replacement

Gearbox loaded. This one Na one chance

Perhaps it became reddish when this problem started. I might be wrong though
