Did this problem just start? Or have you been having it since?

Check your condenser. The fins are likely clogged.

So airflow is not passing through it to cool the radiator.

Also, when you are running on ac, stop the car, open your bonnet and place your hand on the condenser. During hot weather, the condenser will understandably be warm to the touch. But not too warm that you cannot place your hand on it.

On cold day, the condenser should even be cool.

However, if you find out that your condenser is very hot to the touch, then something is wrong with the condenser.

Note that you should do this condenser warmth test after you have driven for like 30 minutes with ac.

Don't be quick to let them butcher your engine.

thanks alot

This might sound silly, but are you sure the two fans work when you turn on the AC?

Please help me here..
car is matrix 07

i experience overheating in very traffic on very hot days..
after a while.. my mechanic said The fan isn't spinning as it should so he flushed radiator and changed fan... however the overheating continued on very hot days and traffic but temperature goes to normal once i put off AC...

now i observed later that i started losing coolant.. so he pressured check and we saw radiator has started leaking now... so he suggested we replaced the radiator and change gasket that the gasket may be the reason why the overheating persisted after we fixed the fan back then ...

now my question is hope changing this gasket won't affect engine performance because right now the car drives really fine and responds well...
and I'm shocked he's saying we change gasket... especially when i don't have white smoke in exhaust or oil mixed with water or anything... even performance is fine...

just the overheating in intense traffic or when parked in the sun for long with AC ..

please help me please

If you like yourself, Better buy inverter A/C.. You can go for Scanfrost 74% energy saving. For the Generator, Just buy Sumec FPG4800E2 it's parts are readily available and it works well. I have been using it for over 16months now and i use it for atleast 10hrs daily everyday. And it's going strong. grin grin grin. I service with sae 40 Total Oil every 20days.

Inverter AC is expensive o

Hello boss..
My alternator belt normally cuts. I was told that my belt adjuster for was faulty. I replaced the adjuster yet the belt still cuts.
The mechanic said I should buy a shorter belt I bought it cut. He said I should a longer one I bought still cut.
The mechanic has checked all the pulleys are ok and they aligned.
What could really be the cause of this issue?
The car is Honda Civic 06

this isn't a strange situation with that 06 civic... that belt showed me pepper. one of the cars to scared me with honda. change adjuster sha.. and buy original belt.. it'd last longer

1. If your oil is not gauged to the full mark on the dip stick you may have this code.
2. The vvt solenoid is having a slight restriction due to particles in it.

Just make sure your oil is at the full mark of the dip stick or remove the vvt solenoid and clean it properly then install again .

You can DIY by using 10 L shape spanner

1. oil is at the full mark..

where is the vvt solenoid biko

good evening...
fixed my car camshaft rattling noise and cylinder misfires recently.... after fixing.. the car was scanned and all codes went off... and performance significantly improved...even went back three days later to double check and was still fine.. no noise no codes

now i just bought a personal obd scanner this evening and decided to just run a scan and discovered the code P0012 again..just that... this was present earlier and it went away after it was fixed.. wondering why it came back again now. haven't notice any performance difference and car idles well...

the way this thread has become toxic ehn.. it is well...

rather than learning.. everyone is at each others throat...

to each it's own sha...

As much as driving can make you such much money.. it's on the sacrifice of your body... i don't think anyone wants to do that for too long... Sitting down for 15hr or 16hrs daily.... I don't think that's healthy in the long run actually too... atimes i even get home and my legs will feel like I'm still driving...

no one wants to continually do that for ever...

and all the sacrifices to even make the high figures sef may not be worth it to some of us... we have families... so anything after 9pm.. some of us have set destination to our house... God should bless the little we've made...

imagine you are unable to drive for a while... will you still continue to get income?..

had a friend who drives tirelessly like this back then... 2 days .. 3 days won't come home.... eventually he has moved to real estate... sells land and all now and even makes much moe money at his convenience... no stress.. if you see him.. looks healthier and finer..lol.

so abeg no need to choke some people or tag them lazy because they didn't drive 18hrs....

regardless of how much bolt or indriver makes... most of us here will still pick a 400 - 500k job... with full benefits, HMO, Pension and all... where you can go to work in the morning and come at night... no pressure...

so let's understand to each it's own...
if you like you can join the telegram group.. even me i sent him a mail just didn't get response so i can learn a thing or two and add to what i already know.. doesn't mean i want to start driving 15hrs or something...just to see maybe I've been missing something.. that can help

On a freeday..when there isn't traffic... i prefer indriver... because i can filter my trips... I'd always wait for long distance trips... anything 4k upwards... other traffic prone times e.g closing hour.. bolt because of surge and incase traffic hook us..

so it's all about personal strategy and all...
if you see 800k monthly dashboard, ask yourself are you ready to sacrifice yourself that long.. lol... backpain alone ehn... hian...

anyways bye
