Good evening oga GAZZUZZ and other car guru's, I have been driving Toyota Corolla 2010 since 2019 with no issues. I want to get another car but not the Toyota model as I feel there are other brands of car that are as reliable as the Toyota but not as expensive. Pls what other car models are good and reliable on Nigerian roads. My budget range is N2.6million. Thanks |

phred007: Good morning guys. Apparently I have been able to solve the problem. They emptied the tank, brought it down and cleaned it. It was not dirty and i personally did not see water inside but when they put it back, it stopped. I've bought full tank 7 times since then and no issue. Thanks for all the contributions. 4 Likes |

Does replacing the shaft head alone permanently solve the problem of noise when the steering is fully turned. My mechanic says it might spoil the hub after a while as most part replacement aren't the right fit and they will have to pad with washer to make it lap. He's advising a complete change out of the shaft mechanism which is costly |

I need a good mechanic around Gbagada. Pls recommend. The right rear leg of my Toyota Camry 07 looks bent. I have done wheel alignment but it's still the same. What could be the cause? |

Hello all. My brake keeps vibrating when I press it. Mecho said it's the brake rotors, that I need to change them. Checked them and one is worn. Now my issue is the guy is saying not to buy new rotors but tokunbo ones. Said new ones will be 'eating' break pad and get worn faster than tokunbo. Pls is this true? Car is an 03 Toyota matrix |

GAZZUZZ:It shuts off on idle and while accelerating except the throttle pedal is supported with paper. It shuts off while there's no more juice in the battery. Tested the car with several batteries, all draining on a short drive. Someone said it's the alternator that is not charging the battery properly. Anything else to look out for sir GAZZUZZ? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 2:24am On Dec 22, 2022 |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by josephsm823(m): 8:08am On Dec 22, 2022 |
GAZZUZZ:I could not idle the car when I removed the packing paper, the engine is turning off immediately except I step on the throttle pedal to keep the engine working. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:29am On Dec 22, 2022 |
josephsm823: Possibly broken throttle body or reprogramming needed . Have you tried cleaning? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by josephsm823(m): 10:51am On Dec 22, 2022 |
GAZZUZZ:Am at the mechanic workshop for throttle body cleaning. The Air filter is also dirty and am having that replaced. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by josephsm823(m): 12:55pm On Dec 22, 2022 |
GAZZUZZ:Thank you so much Oga GAZZUZZ It's the throttle body, clogged with dirts. Car is working properly now after cleaning the throttle body. 6 Likes |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by BryanWyatt: 4:33pm On Dec 22, 2022 |
please i need help. The engine of a 2005 Toyota Corolla LE does switch off especially when there is a need to decelerate like approaching a house gate or waiting temporarily at road junction for traffic to clear before continuing with the journey. There is no problem while on average to high speed. Fuel pump was changed in April,2022. Error codes: P0171- System is too lean(bank 1) and P0304- Cylinder 4 misfiring detected. What could be the problem and possible solution? One auto-mechanic workshop proposed a new set of fuel pump with the casing/housing, not just the small tube fuel pump. Will this solve the problem? thanks @GAZZUZZ |

Hi guys Lexus Rx 350 2011 is showing P0420 and P0430. The VSC light came on and later the check engine light. The mechanics are saying its the catalyst. What could be wrong? The check AWD system warning is also on. Cc Kingreign and all the other gurus in the house |

Please guys, I had cause to change my compressor about a week ago. But since yesterday I observed whenever I am in traffic and My RPM drops, I start experiencing heavy vibration in the engine bay and my RPM fluctuates. But when I am on motion, no such vibrations. What could be the cause? |
