I want to commend Moses also known as mosbus here on Nairaland for fixing my ac issues. I had taken the car to other technicians and they told me my compressor was bad blah blah blah. But when I contacted Mosbus he told me to bring the car to his workshop at isolo in Lagos and he fixed my ac issues without touching my compressor. It turns out my compressor is in tip top shape . He has all the tools and machines for ac fixing. The guy is "good people" He's not paying me to advertise for him ooohh. He can be reached via this number for any car ac issues 0803 758 6148 1 Like 1 Share |

my golf 4 engine has a working thermostat but fans are connected direct to ignition due to fault at socket on radiator which caused my fan to misbehave (it comes on when the car has been turned off, sometimes it refuses to come on and car overheats) my question is will this affect my fuel consumption |

Hello Gurus, I want to ask has anybody come across Polytron Metal Treatment Concentrate. An oil treatment for ICE that treats metals inside the ICE and reduced friction and wear & tear to the bearest. let anyone share their experience in using this Addictive. Am not a fan of addictives but this Polytron has be preached beyond 100% performance to improve engine performance and reduces any friction inside the engine. I want to use it for my Corolla 2005 engine. Whats your take... on this Polytron |

I serviced my Camry 09 barely two weeks ago....yesterday I wanted to get food so started the car and the engine oil light indicator was showing! Had to scan no possible code. Please what's the actual problem cause the oil gauge level is okay |

drmuchin: Why not return it to factory settings by buying new fan control module and radiator thermoswitch, both will be less than 5k. So that ur fan will only work when it's needed, and it will give u rest of mind. 5 Likes |

My car jerks at slow or in traffic, it, d jerking, stops if I put it in Neutral but begins whenever I put in drive or reverse. Finds it difficult to drive up hill but runs well on flat ground. Now it can’t even climb d hill it usually climbs. I bought it from someone, I noticed that the injector mouth was blocked at the small hole in it, when opened the vehicle works high. But was advised to replace it. Plugs changed. Now i am looking at replacing d fuel pump, and replacing the injector mouth. Camry envelope |

drmuchin:I reside in Lagos presently, Your rewire should be able to install it if the factory wire connections haven't been tampered with. But if they have cut the factory wire connections, then I will advice you to just continue to manage it that way until u meet a professional, to prevent unforseen issues. |

AdeniyiA: My Corolla was having similar issue, though not as profound as yours some time ago. What I did then was to change the engine air filter and clean the Mass Air Flow sensor with MAF cleaner, the engine power returned in fill blast. You can try it if it will work, if not you may have to into changing your fuel pump. |

bastien: You do not scan a car when you have issues like oil indicator on when running. There will be no related codes. Check if you have engine oil in the engine . If you do, then It is a sludge related incident 3 Likes |

GAZZUZZ: Good Morning Boss, Thanks for the other time. Update: So i checked for air leaks as advised and i didn't see any though my check might not have been exhaustive. But i discovered that the air filter was not fixed properly and a hose to the engine has the clip on the on the body of the rubber instead of the mouth. So those two were corrected and i cleared the error code. It didn't come up for 3 weeks. However, it (P0101) came up again on Easter Monday (last week), i cleared it, drove the car for a week. Then the check engine light was up again last night. Same error code P0101. I also noticed the engine hesitates a little when i try to accelerate or when i want to start it. Kindly assist. |

Hello gurus. My car is a toyota 4 plugs camry 2012. Sometime this year i noticed that the car tends to power down when I'm driving ( the engine just goes off). But when i crank it up again it starts immediately like nothing happened. I took it to a mechanic and he cleaned my throttle body, the engine stalling stopped for about 2 months after cleaning the throttle body. This issue (engine stalling) while driving started again just yesterday. I really don't know what could be causing this. |

I dont know about 205/70/r15, buh I used 205/65/r15 on my ex-2003 Corolla (no regrets!!!) I be like black Vin Diesel for road, dey use am enter anywhere. Yes, u'll get higher ground clearance as well (no more under-bumper scratching). the only thing i noticed is, if your car is at a hault position, and another car pass you with speed, your car go shake!!! asides that, nothing else!.
