@Kingreign I greet you specially. Please my car "engine maintenance required" light, flashes exactly 7 times when I turn the car on. I serviced my car 2 weeks ago changed oil and filter with the recommended oil weight. I used nordkapp 0W20. And I set my mileage counter trip A and B back to zero after servicing.

It's a 2012 Camry.


What could be the cause of this ?

Good morning House!
Pls I used masking tape yesterday to hold a poster on my car for an event.
After removing the poster, I noticed lines of sticky gummy residues left by the masking tape.

Pls Does anyone have an idea of what I can use to safely remove those marks without harming the car paint?

I have a Nissan Bluebird 1992 model, it raises without thotling the gas pedal. The mechanic that checked said the airflow is bad and suggested I should convert it to a Carburettor since the airflow is not ready available in my locality. What's your advice?

kingreign:


Petrol or rubbing alcohol

Good morning all.
My camry 2008 temperature guage fluctuates and at times stays on zero and I experience engine surge while driving and even on idle.
NB: my fan is working, my radiator is not leaking and water doesn't drain out. I don't top water in the morning. The water is always OK.

Secondly, my gear doesn't enter gear 4 from 3 easily. It only enters when I need to rev the engine to high rpm. It makes humming noise on gear 3 after a short movement.

I did the scanning and only got error code p0118 and p0125. I asked if there is any code concerning gear, the technician said no. Just those two codes.

Please, what could be the issue. Someone adviced I change the speed sensor if my gear oil is guaged and not dirty. Nb: The gear oil filter has been changed as well and no changes yet.

Dozieson:


Did you change the gear oil? Because cleaning the filter means you have drained the oil already

Your ect sensor is faulty. Kindly replace

jojomario:
. It was doing like this before I even change the filter. And it still persist.

I will change the ect sensor. Thanks.

Dozieson:


did you change the gear oil?

jojomario:
I topped it with ws.

Dozieson:


Why not try and replace it totally? When last did your change the gear oil? How long have you been using the car?

jojomario:
since I started using the car, I have not changed the oil. It's over 4yrs. How many litres of ws do I need to buy to make it guaged.

Dozieson:


The advise most times is to replace the same quantity you drained. But you can know the guage by checking when car is hot after about 5-10mins of starting the car. The oil will be at the hot mark of the dip stick

jojomario:
OK. I should add the oil when the engine is warm ot cold?

Dozieson:


Cold

Pls my honda civic 2006 that I bought cos of subsidy removal gives a strong smell of fuel inside the car whenever I fill the tank. It is so strong that the smell even affects my cloth.
And I don't think I am enjoying the fuel capacity of the car. A full tank doesn't stay up to 2 weeks driving from airport to FMC Hospital every working day of the week. How do I also check the rate of fuel consumption in the car? Thanks

Dozieson:


Airport to FMC is about 64km to and fro. 64x10(for 2 weeks)=640km. What is the size of your full tank?

UgoFly:


52 litres
