P2185 refers to coolant temperature sensor,you still need to run a proper diagnosis.If he uses scanner tell him to read Engine RPM via datastream(livedata) to confirm if the crankshaft position sensor is reading,if it is reading let him confirm if there is ignition (black&white wire) and ground (black wire)voltage on the COP(coil).The ignition wire is supply by a relay by underhood fusebox
If your crankshaft position sensor (RPM) is not reading then let him check the wiring,it should be 3wires sensor positive,ground and signal wire.

Thanks boss.

I am not financial buoyant to get a comprehensive insurance and a tracker for now, thus, the reason I am thinking of getting a rewire to fix a security.

But, if you feels it's not the best way to go, so be it.



Let’s run this

Download “Philad Track” on your phone and let me install the tracker.

We will work out something that suits your budget.

At least snap and post a picture so that people will have an Idea of the dent.
And also state location. Sometimes locations determine prices. What you can fix for 10k in ojo lagos might cost you more in gbagada lagos.

Village people at work.
What transmission fluid do you use when you change these transmissions?
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by Glocal1: 6:44am On Mar 05, 2023
Please my car started stalling again after driving it for a 20- minute journey.
It was in the afternoon and the temperature gauge went up close to the middle while the fan was working.

It is a Corolla 1996 model.

Can someone help me solve this problem permanently?

I also need thick positive wires (8 yards)and Dextron 4 gear oil, in case anyone has for sale.

How do I get fuel for my generator from my car?

.I tried using hose, it didn't work.

How can I get fuel from my fuel line in the engine?
Is it safe?

Petrol stations are not selling into Jerry cans.

.... Black market is also very expensive.
Fill your tank, then get your mechanic to drain the fuel manually using a hose into a keg, then fix back the fuel pump and car seats.
Head back to the filling station to refill your tank.

Good morning bros

My VENZA car ba3 usually dies after every 5/6days then I have to restart it with a Neigbor own

Is this normal
The car is not even up to a month ?


They suggesting that I should get a new ba3?
Don't buy another battery yet.

Let the electrician check and fix the earth wire, if not there.

Test the alternator if it's producing the right voltage to charge the battery.
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by Nemesisobaara: 10:37am On Mar 05, 2023
Please I need an advise. I want to pour out the gear oil of my Rx350 2011 model and pour in another. I have bought the original WS for the vehicle, but the gear mechanic said he will have to loose the base of the gearbox. Videos i see on YouTube only shows the bolt and the red inner plastic removed and the oil allowed to drain before it's replaced from the tire side. Please, I don't want to make a mistake. All this people fit put holes for man pocket. Please advise me.

Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by lawmanlala(m): 11:12am On Mar 05, 2023
My C230k 2005 has gear mismatch and sometimes not going beyond gear 1 or 2. It is automatic transmission

At times it shows D on the dashboard while gear lever is on P when I put in the key and switch to Ignition. It may remain there for few minutes before going to the right gear P to match with the gear shift lever. It is only at that point will the car start. The it may change gear and drive normally if it doesn't "kick" as I shift to D to move. If it kicks, gear won't go pass gear one

I'm told when it kicks, it goes into "emergency"
At times, it is on D on gear shift lever, but dashboard shows R and car still goes forward.
Pls what is the solution to this problem. How can the car transmission go back to normal?

What advice do u need exactly.. looks like you know what to do..

After draining, ensure to refill with exactly what was removed (this is provided your transmission pan wasnt leaking previously). If the pan was leaking, you'll have to follow some technical procedures to ensure you get the right quantity in.

Toyota WS is the right fluid to use

. Should I allow him to lose the base of the transmission. I think he mentioned something like sump. I am scared. I've always heard that this transmission requires utmost care. I told him to just remove the bolt from beneath, then the red plastic and allow the oil to drain out. But baba said he will have to remove the sump abi na base of the gearbox to make sure that the entire gear oil goes out completely.

He may have said that because he is trying to access the transmission filter..possibly to have it cleaned.

This is NOT necessary at this stage since you are not experiencing any drivability issues.

Simply do a drain and refill.

Be very mindful of the quantity you put back in like i mentioned before.

Does he intend replacing the trans filter?
If yes, fine, if no, avoid that kazeem.

Thank you Kingreign. I refused taking the vehicle to him, even after he called me severally to bring the vehicle to his workshop. Meanwhile, I noticed something today when driving on the highway today. If I accelerate constantly, before the speedometer gets to 40, the car vibrates and then becomes smooth again, it also happens before it reaches 60. It's like a vibration that you will think the road is rough, then it becomes smooth again until its above to reach the next point. I think this vibration happens when the vehicle is about to change from one gear to the other. What could be the cause please?

Hello gurus. Pls what do I do? My Honda Accord DC 07 hesitates and the rpm lowers almost to zero anytime I put on my AC. I can only use the AC when am on motion. Once I brake to climb either a bump or hill, it's very difficult.

Pls how do I correct dis?
