Car Talk / Re: Switching From Mineral Oil To Synthetic Caused Smoking From Exhaust by Mojibola(m): 12:00am On Jul 23, 2015
chukel:
i was very happy that i changed from 20w50 to the recommended 5w20 (milemaster) for my camry. 5days after oil change, i heard rattles wen revving from gear 1 to 2 or trying to accelerate hard. thought it was my transmission. after changing transmission oil, it continued. 6th day, i realized i needed upto 2L to top up my engine oil. did that with milemaster too. rattling continued, oil continued shorting. i ran back to 20w50. engine rattle disappeared over time. i then tried mobil 1 5w30 and had peace since then. no short, no rattle
2litres short in 6days, with no visible leakage or blue smoke?
..and you're sure engine oil was right quantity when it was replaced?

That is AfricanMagic oo.

well, if it's the AMG version, I doubt if I can resist being biased, other than that, I'm up for Audi.

Just remember if you notice any problems with either the engine or transmission or the airbag, ABS lamps are on permanently, scan the car before handling the wrench.

Always make sure your brakes and tires are in good condition before driving, never gamble with them. Being proactive solves more problem.
Car Talk / Re: Choice Of Synthetic Oil. by Mojibola(m): 9:15pm On Jul 07, 2015
leadknight123:
A lot companies have good reputation with their products but when it comes to engine oil, what company would you rather choose. Mobil, Castrol, royal purple, valvoline, few of our own here in nigeria. oando, total, conoil? I have used royal purple and I can say they have good performance. Add yours and let's know the best.

Yes, I reckon royal purple is quite good. With synthetic and metal treatment properties, it's very good.

One can actually afford to drive the engine with oil shortage.

It likely has something to do with fuel, fuel lines and fuel pump. I really doubt if the whole four nozzles can all be blocked at once.

proxillin:
[size=16pt]I had this problem. It happened in one crazy traffic, my radiator just busted open and the water escaped.

My mechanic sealed my radiator. Reset the engine, and my car started again.

1 week later, the heat meter started reading to red (meaning its over heating)

I called another mechanic who recommended I should buy a double cell radiator.

he removed the thermostat.

My car is working fine now.

However, he said I should not use AC for now, that I should change my radiator fan. he claimed the radiator fan is not strong enough.

How true is this?

And also, I noticed that my engine is now high. Why is this? Is any harm in this?

I love this thread. Its about my car.[/size]

Pls go and arrest your mechanic with a police officer, make sure he is given 20slaps before he is detained.

Now you say your idling is high, you really have no idea what problem he has caused to your car!

CramJones to Trek for Justice in Nigeria!
In solidarity with the trekking youths, I would like you to join me in my trek for victory and rule of law in Nigeria. I am presently in Boston, Massachusetts. We would start from the Blue Hill Reservation park trail and will end up in Providence Rhode Island where we will have a Nigerian celebration at the Roger William Park. The whole trail is 51 miles or 100 km and it will take approximately 2 days for the journey.
We would have first aid kits, food, mobile camping tents and basic survival kit box. If you are in the Boston Area indicate here and I will contact all of you personally. I intend doing this over the weekend to avoid encroaching into people's work time. Most likely next weekend, so that folks can be better prepared. Each person participating will be given a T-shirt written "Justice and rule of Law in Nigeria", a steps calculator band, and all the supplies I mentioned earlier.
This promises to be fun!
-CramJones

Oga Ade, come and trek in Nigeria.

Car Talk / Re: Audi B5 420-R: The Build. by Mojibola(m): 9:40am On May 08, 2015
Hi Siena, sorry for this little digression, I've actually been trying to get through to you over BBM, I couldn't get a response.
I'm a mechanic (just starting up) and working on a 2002 Rav4 with an auto tranny, as soon as I shift the gear lever to either reverse or drive, it jerks and its really quite much. So I scanned it, got 3 codes out of the system, P0768, P0758, P0753. Apparently the shifts solenoids are gone. I want to confirm if replacing the solenoids or the valve body could solve the problem or a total replacement of the whole tranny box or should I rather ask if this problem could have damaged any mechanical components in the box. I really want to fix this right as this is like my first main job.

My name is simon a lawyer resident in Lagos. My Wife told me that it's over between us, I thought about it and decided that life without her is meaningless, so I decided to kill myself. I drank malt with milk but nothing happened, I proceeded to another level of poisonous concoction I prepared turkey and gizzard with cranberry juice and lot of fresh tomatoes, yet nothing. I ate cake, chocolate mixed with ice cream,still I no die. Right now I'm so confused because I just finished eating fried rice with maltina and fresh fruit salad but nothing happened. Please guys, am confused right now. What should I do? Or should I try plantain with chicken? I need your advice please!.

Good day folks,
I'd like to know what it takes to open a modern service and repair centre for automobile (cars and light trucks). I have an intention of opening one in my town because I have not seen any reasonable one around. I believe its going to be a fine business, so I need names of equipments, trainings required and whatever information that you feel its necessary for me to know.
I anticipate your comments. Thanks in advance.
