This is not the regular remote shell for your vehicle. The transponder chip is possibly not in a fixed position inside that shell or not close enough for the receiver to "see" the transponder. It's a common problem with this type of remote shell.

What if finally bubu now makes #1 to $1?

Nothing like this happened in Nnewi. Stop spreading false news.

Have the car scanned, a bad key, immobilizer or ECU will give this same symptom, engine will not turn. If you have a locksmith around have the key read first.

6PK 2090 / 2100

Enough buyers already, oya make una begin pricing. Meanwhile OP, update info on the vehicle.

While Toyota and Lexus owners be upgrading their cars to non-existing models, benz owners be rebadging to non-existing models too.

So many, many lies in this thread and the other. If op had spent the time communicating with us like he did with his "guru", maybe he would have already heard everything that was repackaged and regurgitated to him.

Anyone who's watches all the videos and reviews the invoicing as well as original diagnosis will see that except for the catalytic converter code (which was non-existent when the car first came to our shop) EVERYTHING in the savior thread was mentioned.

WE FIXED EVERYTHING THE OP PROVIDED PARTS FOR AND AT A TOTAL COST OF 200K. The same "abused oil pressure switch" in the link was provided by the OP and his hero .

1) TPMS sensor identified first visit and video- NOT PROVIDED BY OP

2) airbag light also identified at first visit- PUT ON THE BACK BURNER TO FIX 5 (five) DIFFERENT UNDERCARRIAGE LEAKS

3) oxygen sensor identified at first and second visit - NOT PROVIDED BY OP

4) "I will be draining the Engine engine oil to inspect for metal shredding or particles, then replacing all seals relating to the VTEC system."- solenoid leak patched was patched at first visit because SEAL UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME. NOT PROVIDED BY OP

5) "Had some time to take out the vtec oil pressure solenoid and pressure switch.(looking horrible)"- SWITCH PROVIDED BY OP

6) catalytic converter code Attempted spacer fix is a bypass patch, not a fix . we don't do that.

7) "I'll rather just work with new (Toks) parts free from previous abuse. Will try and get new harnesses for the parts ."- parts provided by op and guru

8 )"Further inspections reveals a disintegration of the catalytic converter. It's a good thing we caught it this early , would have been fatal to the engine"- a clogged catalytic converter will reduce power to an engine but will not destroy an engine

9) "The O2 sensors have been literarily glued to the manifolds and would not unscrew without a little persuasion."- we did not touch those, again because op had bigger problems and did not provide the part

10)"Oil drained, no metal particles found."- as we stated repeatedly and were mocked, OP DOES NOT NEED AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT


11) "I am wondering why no one recommended coolant in this vehicle? Was it your inability to afford it or just forgetfulness."- engine work WAS DONE on this vehicle and coolant WAS put in

12) Faulty 'A' Rocker Arm Actuator - mentioned in all diagnoses but put on back burner for other problems


Op is gleeful to be getting what he wanted from when he first wanted to double-stack coupons- FREE REPAIRS.

I have a simple question for the happy hero. If this car had come to him first, what would have been the bill to fix everything we did plus what he is fixing now? Because when we gave op a bill that would have made us responsible for everything it was called outrageous.

We did a LOT of work on that car (a lot of it free which I now regret) and were clear that there were still items left to be done. Any mechanic can always find something additional to fix particularly on a car with as many problems as this one had. The goal was to make the car road worthy by tackling it's larger problems, which we did as op drove over 300 miles to the East (after a week of driving around town). My other question is why op didn't take the car to the "guru" he name-checked in the title and at the beginning of the thread AND bought parts from during the duration of the repairs? Cleaning up leftover repairs is easy when someone else has already done the heavy lifting that's why. Inside things.

Postscript to the plagiarizing "guru":
You wanted publicity off our name and have been on a campaign to try to hurt us for years. Each attempt more desperate than the last lol.

Even went as far as lying about an ac compressor and when you were busted the thread was cleaned of everything that showed you for what you are. You claimed we lied to you about it being new and you weren't refunded. Instead, you knowingly purchased a remanufactured one AND received a full refund which you used to buy additional goods. (https://www.nairaland.com/5429767/where-rad-auto-works-parts/2#82450620 pages 6,7 and 8 now scrubbed clean) was swept under the rug but a couple of screenshots remain below. I actually have ALL the screenshots of everything that has ever been scrubbed but it is not worth my time.

Falsified car mileage, also scrubbed clean https://www.nairaland.com/5420678/2010-corolla-foreign-used-54000/11#82379760 then replaced with https://www.nairaland.com/5421108/2010-corolla-foreign-used-54000#82510255
It took months for that memory to die and you to skulk out of the shadows. https://www.nairaland.com/5420678/#82297967

Oh, you're still upset that we offered to fix baba40's car for free when you basically told him to go screw himself? Seen.

For two years you have been unable to get us to interact with you since we discovered the low levels you are willing to stoop to. You believe all publicity is good publicity however we disagree. It's cute that you think we are in competition but guy man, we are not. You fix four car brands and pick and choose your repairs. It doesn't matter what you do, our customer base knows what we can do and will continue to grow. Until you grow out of this childish insecurity that requires you to register multiple monikers to say nasty things you can't with your main moniker, and use them to attack anyone you perceive as a threat, you will remain as you are.

AutoElectNG is still standing though quiet.

Dru23 still standing and selling his oil

Radautoworks is also still standing. Your even tried to imply i got you gifts in some kind of attempt to cause a rift between my husband and I. Luckily your WhatsApp message told the true story.

For the last time, PLEASE GET A LIFE! I will respond to no one about this silly attention grab on ANY of the threads created for it.

I know a lot of you who have messaged me privately to ignore all this and that this is beneath me will be disappointed but I HATE liars and duplicity. I will ignore going forward.

This response is at best an "own goal", totally uncalled for.

autologic:
Spacer will not always works for some some model of vehicle cos the ecu strategy employed to decipher efficency of cat is not alway the same accross board especially for the late model cars ,also it is also important to know that not all P0420 codes implies issues with cat cos what comes to minds of average tech or diy without any second thought is to change of cat blindly which can lead to a very expensive repair which doesn't solve the issue. what P0420 implies technically is that there is imbalance of stoic ratio which can set up a condition that is not perfect for the cat to operate at its optimum condition not alway about the cat itself.
So when dealing with the dreaded P0420 code ,apply caution ,avoid throwing parts blinding so that u don't get burnt .
To sum it up ,if your vehicle fall into the category of late model (2010-till date) don't even bother with spacer ,the cat efficency strategy has been modified to beat that hack .

I just remembered also, on request by my client, i decatted and fixed regular spacers on a 2012 Toyota Camry since last year. Till date no catalyst code and fuel economy is within spec.

Installed on a decatted 2007 Honda pilot since last year, just regular spacers. Till date no catalyst code even after a 200+ km trip recently. And yes fuel economy is still within spec.

Na today?

Unless it was upgraded, this is not 2004 model. Meanwhile there is a warning for adverts in this section.

Will this procedure on Autel work on a 2008 Ford Edge?

Gilbertase:
I havent found anything as specific as my description, and e dey pain me. This screenshot is/should be common knowledge to pple who know how overdrive works, but isnt specific enough. What i sha know is in June 2020 when i picked up my 2010 Ford edge, which has a six speed trans with overdrive, on the stretch btw saapade and guramaraji, that car did the full 200 (not 220 that was a typo) and the rpm was solidly ard 2. It just stood there whilst the speedo needle kept going. Femtopford is a ford specialist, can you clarify this pls?

Make una free the guy na, maybe his redline starts from 2500rpm and ends in 3000rpm, just maybe.

Luckybelt:
The key is no where nearby, nobody pressed any button. The car engine just started. I notice earlier that if I remove the key, the radio keeps working

Like Gazzuzz said, its usually the fan that does that, but if actually you confirmed that the car started, then check and see if it has a remote starter else it's an electrical issue.

Be rest assured that none of these people arrested are IPOB members. Police and army just pick innocent people and parade them as IPOB, make e be say dem dey work. Mtcheew.

Very impressive DIY.

Milosval:

Please what do you mean by saying that the fault code is standard? Does it mean that conversion to 10 pin automatically gives out those codes? Pls I need answer. Thanks

In 99% of the cases I have come across, Yes.

aieromon:


Car transmission is supposed to cool down before any work can be done. I'm afraid your mechanic has a hand in the death of the transmission.

Dirt was introduced into the transmission while replacing the shaft.

Get a competent technician with a professional level diagnostic tool to reset it.

Those fault codes are Standard. The effect you get is dependent on how the 10pin conversion was done.

IkpuMmadu:
you are right and the dash would be like Christmas lights

That is for the kazeemized replacement shocks. If you buy the complete spring shocks, ofcourse brand new ($1k+), it comes with sensors that will keep your dashboard clean.

I have done such for a w220, sometime ago.

A veeeery sweeeeeeeet car to drive. Just purring as you quietly drive along, silently waiting for your throttle command to unleash the dragon, especially in the sport mode.

Diportivo, we await your testimony.

If OP no put price, dey will say, put price. Now e put dey begin dey compare and complain. Na market O, if you wan buy, buy. If you no wan buy, Waka pass.

Snoopyjaga:
Hello guys , I just recently bought a Nigerian used x6 35i about 2 days ago ,that's on Friday , the car is neat and all and it's a wow , it speeds up very fast .. but while my mechanic was test running the car , the sellers told him not to press the car accelerator on park , please does this appeals to all BMW , because the dealers were shouting "they don't accelerate BMW cars on park" ,that they only do that when it's running , we didn't raise the car , my local mechanic just looked at the engine saw that it was extremely clean , and then test drove it 3 times for a very short distance .. then he told me.the car is fine .. so I paid for it..

fast forward to when I was going home not more than an hour or 2 , on Maryland/ojota link bridge , the car stopped moving and moved into neutral , we tried putting it back to gear , but the car wouldn't move to gear , it wrote on the screen that "breaking/chassis stabilization malfunction , a danfo car brushed me in the back because of how the car stopped .. we had to call people to help us push it.to nearby place where we can park it . We parked it .. my mechanic checked the car for all possible fault but couldn't say which is wrong with it.., we waited for almost an hour before we started the car again and the car picked., But it continued showing that warning on the screen, during the hour of waiting I called the dealers that the car has stopped in traffic and it's not moving , they said they would send the bmw mechanic that usually repairs the car to come and check it .

My mechanic managed to drive it home , but while driving it after it stopped , he noticed some sound in the engine that was sounding like something was clicking , he told me the sound isn't a good sound , he said it sounds like when a engine is forcing itself to work.. I overlooked that ..

The next day the dealers mechanic arrived to check the car , one of my very good friend also came to help celebrate the new car , the bmw mechanic did several scanning , I asked him if this has ever happened to the car before , he said never , he was did all he could , then decided that it will be one of three things that's wrong with the .. he mentioned 3 , but I couldn't grab what he was saying , he said he'll order it at ladipo , and he'll come to fix it on Tuesday .. when he was about to leave , my friend jumped into the car and pressed the accelerator while it was on park twice.. he immediately called me and the bmw mechanic , that he's also hearing sounds in the engine , that the last time he heard the sound was when his corrolla engine was about to knock , that the sound he's hearing isn't a good one , the engine isn't good .. the bmw mechanic scolded me that I shouldn't let anybody accelerate the car while it's on park . He then started saying one Venus or venom makes that sound in the engine also if you accelerate it on park , because he also accelerated it also on park . He didn't denie the sound ..
Now the dealer is telling me the owner said he won't collect the car from me anymore , that I tested it with my mechanic before I took it away, that I can involve the police .

My question is , BMW owners , did you guys accelerate yours cars on park or not ?.

And please what do you think is the next step I can take ?.

The car you bought already had an engine problem, that was why they didn't want you to rev the car in park. Unfortunately you went there with a wrong mechanic and thus little chance of making any case against the fraudulent dealer. You've been scammed big time, get a BMW specialist to analyse the fault, your bill no go be here finally.

Fixing Hybrid cars most times, is not what you do without a computer. In rainy season, an inexperienced hybrid user is more likely to get stranded. Before more damage is done to that vehicle, have a knowledgeable technician with a PROFESSIONAL scanner run a diagnosis on it.

A truly wise decision and impressive job.

If you search well enough, you can get a decent tokunbo Volvo S60 2002-2004 for about 1.2m. And it's a good car by all means.

This is 2020 and people are still trying to diagnose a 2011 vehicle without a computer. Ok OO.

Meanwhile, recheck and reconnect all the wire harnesses, then check all the ground connections. If that is ok, then scan vehicle to ensure their is communication with all relevant modules. So many ECU's and BCM's have been fried by the ignorance and carelessness of technicians during engine jobs.

Inception:


How is the gear selection?

And I know why I am asking

You know every.

Good deal, if engine and gear is OK.

Happy sales OP.
