I don't know why nm y Volkswagen Passat cc will not speed up at times when you accelerate it, it rather pick gradually and increases in the spread and you decide to force it by adding pressure on the accelerator, it may jerk.

What could be the problem?
I have someone who said it is the fuel pump and another said it is the gear.

You will need too go to an auto work shop too inspect your brakes system sir .

The causes.. are..
Either

Bad Break disc or it need resurface.

Or Fake Or Low Break Pads...

Or Faulty Calipers....

Thank You

My Acura MDX 2004 experienced overheating and the mechanic decided we needed to change the radiator, we did that and everything was fine. But after then, I noticed the car won't start/crank easily. I initially thought it was battery but even after driving for several hours (after which the battery should have been charged enough) same thing was still happening.

I got a rewire who said it was the kick starter, we repaired the kick started but situation was the same. Then the mechanic recommended by the rewire discovered that oil was mixing with the oil, the oil was milky and the spark plug head was somehow wet.

This pointed to a bad gasket according to him.The mechanic changed the plug and after that the car cranked when we started it but that was the only time, the next morning it didn't crank ( just like it was doing before).

Now we have changed the gasket ,changed the oil but the car still won't crank.

The mechanic says we should change all the coil ( 6 of them) , he seems so confident that the car will work of we do that but I feel he is just doing trial and error.

Experts, kindly advise on what to do.

Did the overheating affects the engine top? Did you see the top when the gasket was replaced?

Well done boss. I have an issue with my speedometer. It used to work on and off before and then it stopped completely. When it’s working, the gear shit is smooth but when it’s not working, the gear doesn’t go beyond gear 3. It was diagnosed and the diagnostics said it’s the front left speed sensor. I changed that and it worked for a minute or so and then it stopped working giving us error c1201 and c1406. Also the abs, brake, check engine and vsc and traction light is on constantly. When the speedometer works(before before), only the brake light disappears. The rest are still on. Do you have an idea what the issue is?
My car’s model is Corolla 2010
@GAZZUZZ @Kingreign abeg I need your help

Thanks for the response boss. Are they on this thread? I’ve also seen about the instrument cluster but then for others it changing the speed sensor was the solution. Also what is the explanation behind it working for few minutes after the sensor was replaced?

You can try instrument cluster without paying by having an understanding with the seller. You can only get the history from search and not on this thread
