Good evening engine professionals.

I got a car on hire purchase, Nigerian used.
I use it for E-hailing.

I've used the car and currently the car has issues. It started with shorting oil which I started servicing every 3weeks. Right now, car engine is weak and it smokes like crazy.

The mechanic checked and said the engine has been ring(Ed)(sed) before so he said I have to re-bore.

Please profs, I intend using this car a while after balancing and I need the surest solution possible.

I want a Belgium engine but mechanic said re-bore puts engine at same grade with Belgium.

I'm a novice and I am confused.

Please I need suggestion and advice.


Re-bore said 150k... Belgium engine is 380k to 400k
Advice please

My 2000 camry shows P0401.
In the morning when I scan it shows no code, but when I drive around for 20 mins it throws the code. I have changed the following, EGR and the modulator, but still same.

ReformerD:
Sir, GAZZUZZ,

I still need help with the P0014 code, most Rewire and mechanic that met with seems not to get the exact issues or what's is needed to do ( kia optima)

P0014 definition: Exhaust Camshaft Timing- Over-Advanced Bank 1


The Rewire said its nothing much to worried about as long as i can ignore the check engine light

Please I NEED HELP!!!!
I need help… whilst on the motion this morning, my car suddenly stop selecting gear(R, N, D)
My 2008 Lexus ES350 won’t move.
It doesn’t matter if I put it in drive, neutral or reverse.
The engine revs up in each gear..���

I switch off the ignition and ON it back to move(D) for some minutes which it will jerk forward , vibrates too then stop selecting and the engine revs.

I NEED HELP!!!!!

GAZZUZZ:


Stop trying to move the car.

You have no transmission oil.

Park it, or tow.

Inspect for leaks and top up transmission oil with sanitary equipment in the morning

GAZZUZZ:


cylinder deactivation issues.

Ensure engine oil is clean and gauged.

That's all we can do remotely.

It is a complicated fix

GAZZUZZ:


Replace with a good one.

ReformerD:


The chain it I should Just show him the pictures ?

Good afternoon guys.
Finally decided to scan my car today. I bought it on good friday being april 15th. It is an acura tsx 2008. I had a check engine light on and it worried me being a first time owner. I also noticed a slight high fuel consumption and My younger brother observed same too cause I left the car in his care while registering it and trying to get my driving license.
I actually bought an Xtool Ad10 scanner yesterday. Scanned it some mins ago. Got three error codes. I cleared the error codes and scanned again. Two codes remained.
So guys help me out.
Oga gazzuzz say something plz .

GAZZUZZ:


Hope you bought the scanner from me .

seanfer:


Good day boss, please can you share the mechanics phone number..

GAZZUZZ:


Replace with a good one.

vivalavida:


I actually called u on Friday for it but the logistic fare shot it way above my budget sir. From your ogba to ojo with gokada was almost 5k delivery charge. Got it from the shop of another nairalander at amuwo

dafuturis:


Sorry for deviating a lil sir,
Please before I order this light I would like to know if it can be installed in a rear/side mirror not fitted with trafficator light as seen in the pictures.
I want to install it on a corolla 05

GAZZUZZ:

Hi Gazzuzz,
The transmission oil was replaced.

Car has been fixed, which I'm not currently impressed with the performance.
My observation...
(1) Immediately after I drove the car(engage in D), I noticed the car was sluggish... Struggling, not smart at all...

I went to the highway, this is my car and it is part of me... I noticed my car wasn't flying the way it normally does.... Lol abt the flying...

(2) I went back to the town, and tried engaging the Gear R(reverse), as it was reversing I noticed, it stopped for 2seconds(yes 2), and the car revved high without moving, I immediately engaged the Gear (P) in Park changed it to R(reverse) it was fine....
Did that 10times in a city drive of 1hr, and it was fine.....
 
(3). Another observation I noticed is car Jerks, no be frequently sha, I won't say repeatedly or continually but e sha dey dey do am...
.


About the sluggish, the steering is kinda hard to turn at some places, most particularly when the odometer is nearly at zero..
I may be wrong about this; having the car slow(that's what my mecho call it ) reduced will cause the car to struggle when you're about to start moving/driving...
I will attach a picture.

The second photo, I'm nearing 4 here and it feels like I'm moving from 1 to 2

Lastly, I will test the GEAR S(sport feature tomorrow )
I'll see if the car moves swiftly

Thank you

GAZZUZZ:


I hope you dodge the transmission replacement bullet, it's an expensive replacement.

For the idle speed, keep driving without removing the battery terminal, it will normalise
