And yet, here you are, contributing to the cesspit.

These days you hardly find a thread in cartalk that doesn't deteriorate or dematerialize from the subject.
It basically always ends in name-calling, highly offensive criticism or repulsive inputs.
Though we are all faceless, but as people who love/like the cars we drive, we should also learn the habits of spreading positivity and respect, whether we think Peugeot is reliable or not or the Op sought knowledge from the streets or online, the most important thing is that the project he initiated has ended in his favour.
Dear bigx,
I remember participating in voting in that thread, that was just before cartalk was created right?

are the auto tyranny’s problematic or do people just prefer manual (especially 2007-2010 407)

Hi Nairaland Auto experts, please I will like to know what the problem is before changing anything with my car. I use a Corolla sport 05, I have been struggling with the AC for a while now. I notice that the AC works excellently well in the evening when there is no sun and early in the morning but struggles to maintain a cool temperature especially for people at the back.

I have tried recharging but that has not solved the problem.
If increase the AC to the highest in hot afternoons it just blows air . Also, I also noticed that it slightly gets better when the car is moving than when it is idle in traffic.

I took the car to an AC technician who poured water on the condenser and then asked us to rev the car up, after which I noticed a significant improvement, then he concludes that the problem is the compressor, that it was suffering from low pressure, that we need to change it and it will cost us 28k.

However, I want to get a second opinion as I suspect the condenser and possibly a blockage. I don't know if anyone has experienced this kind of problem before, I would appreciate any technical advise or recommendation or even an AC tech guy that knows what he is doing.

Thank you

Good day sire. I want to get a generator, I'm a student. All it would power is my phone, a phone and three 40 watts bulb. I need a recommendation please. Thank you.

I am having problem uploading the pictures using my phone....I will do that tomorrow from laptop.

I have also adjusted my sumec 2500 with total capacity of 2200W. I am currently using it as I write cos we have not had light for 2 days straight and I need to keep my food in the freezer fresh....So after adjusting the screw that air fuel mixture, I am currently testing it with 3 litres of fuel, it has been on 8pm, it's almost 12am now and still running.... Only carrying two ceiling fan, one standing fan, 1 refrigerator and one laptop.... It will be interesting to see how this sumec measures up with the TEC junior .

I have finally adjusted my TEC Junior and my first test today since Yestarday that my Brother and I did the tweaking after watching a couple of videos.

First we screwed in the screw that is responsible for the flow of air fuel mixture
Then there was another screw that controls the governor...also screwed in until we were able to get a balance the two screws and output.

Note if you dont adjust it well, you Gen will be vibrating....not a good indication.

Also note, the sound reduced slightly but nothing significantly different from the follow come noise ...typical small Gen problem.

So I decided to add two litres of Fuel at around 8:25pm, the Gen just went off some few minutes ago, 2:29am to be precise.

That's approximately 6 hrs for 2litr of fuel with two Ceiling fans, one rechargeable standing fan, my laptop and about 5 charging phones.....that's all.

I will upload pictures of the screw postions tomorrow

The info above was from a colleague in our whatsap group.

rhymz:
Which screws are you guys talking about, the one under my carburetor started leaking fuel immediately I unscrewed it came tight.... I will like to adjust it it really works....

suco87:
High voltage make the TV guard on red.
High voltage/firing powerr means more fuel consumption
your generator will surely vibrate. when you want to DIY u are not only to adjust the screw under the tank alone. u have to adjust the firing screw on the caburator too. Look at it very well there is connection between the screw under the tank and the firing screw on carburator. if both are not adjusted right to align your gen will surely vibrate.

SolomonGrundy:
Okay. Thanks! Did u test run d gen in d shop b4 taking it home?

SolomonGrundy:
I tink there is anoda screw u need to touch a bit to make it balance. Just wait for the experts to come nd put u thru. How much did u get d gen?

unex50:
Another thing, tampering with those screws on the carburetor mightvproduce unexpected results, from low voltage, misfiring, high voltage, current fluctuation to spoiling the coil in matter of months.... I will advise that you leave the Gen the way it came.... My TEC junior last me for 2h+ for a litre of fuel .... I know the sound can be loud though and the voltage seem kind of high ....your best bet is to let a qualified technician look at it if it bothers you that much.... But no too tamper with am.

suco01:
Its a Tec Junior. I just bought it today.
Is it the screw with the red arrow?

which generator are u you using? it's on the caburator, it's in - (flat) screw if you don't get it, upload the caburator of your generator and I will point it out for you

obisite:
Ok thanks. So on checking my Gen I found this... The screw with the red arrow, is it also a fuel screw? Seems different from the one you posted.

The screw with minus sign...

brand of what! Generator?

TEC

Tec Junior

I do use 1ltr for 2hrs+ most times but be informed that load determines fuel consumption Sha

My Tec Junior for instance last at exactly what is stated in the Datasheet....

Yesterday for instance, I added two litres and only turned on 3 fans, and my laptop only.....It lasted for 4hrs55min

This tallies with the specification on the data sheet for Tec Junior.
8.5L Full Tank with Full Load runs for 10hrs 30min = per litre 2hrs13min
8.5L Full Tank with half Load runs for 18hrs54min = per litre 1hr14min

My experience, their specifications are exactly what it is.

I highlu doubt that a 2.2kva out Gen can give you 4hrs on 2litres, lai lai....I have a Summec of thesame power rating, if that was the case,
I wont bother buying a small TEC junior. Go to Jumia and look at the full capacity run time for 2.5KVA Generator of other brands, it is usually 9hrs.

Truth is....If you wont be needing to power high output equipment like Pumping machine, iron, microwave and the likes, if all you want is just to power
your lights and fans and TVs and Laptops.....my brother go for a small Gen with small tank and high fuel Efficiency.....

My Sumec 2.5KVA is still there but I will only put it on at extreme situations when Nepa does not give us light at all for several days and I have foodstuff in the refrigerator that need some icing and freezing....but daily use...my brother, get a small Gen.....

I have the steering airbag tho

wheres is ur location?
