Does it break on it's own or it breaks when trying to remove/install your belts.
Check if you have the right belt installed as an over tight belt can add strain to the pulley assembly and snap any weak point (in this case your bolt).
Or it's possible you got a fake bolt or your tension is bad (that's if it snaps when taking the belt off)

Thanks bro, it breaks on its own, I tried different type of belt but it serves for a while and breaks again even I had to stop using AC for a while to a shorter belt and the bolt break again then this time the power steering bolt, now I fix the power steering bolt and again the adjuster bolt break.. I'm just confused, I just park the car cos anytime am on the wheel, am always scared of being stranded

The phrase "pocket friendly" is very relative and ambiguous.
You could state your budget and gurus here will recommend accordingly

Good day car gurus,
Firstly, there is this thing my toyota camry 2008 2AZ just started doing every morning on cold start. It won’t start on the first crank but it will always start on the second crank. After that cold start, it will keep starting well throughout the day.
Secondly, there is thing other thing it does once a while. I might park for a few minutes to go do something and when i get back and crank the rngine, it will start and go off immediately. If i keep cranking it after that, it won’t come on. Unless i give it a few minutes to rest then i crank it again. I barely does this maybe one in two weeks or once a month.
I’ve had my vehicle scanned and the only code there is the p0420 code for catalyst below threshold bank 1. I’ve had that code since I started using the vehicle so I don’t think it’s responsible for the issue I’m having

Most likely fuel pump/ fuel line issue but let's await the Ogas response

I suggest you first add fuel treatment. If it works then the issues is most likely due to problem from the fuel supply line e.g clogged fuel filter.

pls experts, what's the cause of this in a tier?
what will the mechanic work on, to correct it from chopping another new tier when changed.

Note: the other side of the car tier is still very okey, no single chopping. Only this driver side is chopped.

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by OmobaDe10th(m): 7:49pm On Jan 13, 2023
My vehicle is Toyota Camry 2.2

Problems:
*It was unable to climb hills and runs very heavy. *Guzzles fuel.
* Lags during acceleration

NOW:
1. I stopped using 5W-30
2. Done servicing as directed by the mechanics.
(Changed plugs, Nozzles, changed plugs coils).
3. I cleaned and welded exhaust/silencer.

OBSERVATIONS
*But still unable to accelarate very well.
* fuel Consumption is still high

Good evening bosses

I drive a Honda 2004 EOD.
When i want to sellect gear the selection doesn't correlate with the one showing on the Dashboard, and even if i move the gear and put it on "grin" or "R" or "N" it doesn't enter directly, I'll have to move the gear handle a bit back and forth while looking at the dashboard and still checking the engine sound to hear or see when it has entered...but when it enters the gear selects perfectly without issues...please what could be wrong? My mechanic was saying something about gear wire and requesting for 15k

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by quam9997(m): 10:10pm On Jan 15, 2023
Good evening bosses, I’m experiencing an issues with my Honda accord. It drags whenever I accelerate before it becomes stable then when I’m close to like 40mph. It begins to jerks and I have to slow down. Accelerating now takes times, drags and louder. More like the engine doesn’t have enough power to fire.

When I scanned it’s was showing solenoid sensor. I replaced that and also topped the transmission oil and I’ve gone as far as changing fuel pump. It was fine for two days and now again it has started and I really don’t know what’s wrong with it.

Expert advice is needed.

Good day house , yesterday I was driving and Suddenly the airbag light came on, when I scanned it I got the code B1811, I cleared it and it came back.
After a while the code went away , only to return at night briefly and go away again,.from research online it's either the clock spring or airbag itself .
Please your help is needed I'm considering buying a multimeter so i can do a proper diagnosis to be certain .I hate seeing lights on my cluster
