Hello experts

I am new in the car line I have a corolla 2009. but I need advice on what to do.. after servicing my car in December. they changed the fuel pump saying it was faulty and some basic servicing. I did not know much so I agreed. Few weeks after I am battling with some issues. My AC and car steering (baba stiff like say them put glue) once I start the car in the morning sometimes it will work after turning the steering sometimes I will drive some distance before the steering will be free and the dashboard light goes away. for some reason once the steering works fine, the AC works well.. but they both have issues same time. I took it to Ladipo they said it's a steering pump issue which they fixed but the issue persists. Some said it's the sensor and another person said it's the steering rack. at this point, I need help with a good Mechanic to help diagnose the issue-
@Radautoworks and @Gazzuzz @kingreign I have been reading and I see your comment and advice.

any good auto shop in Lagos I can fix the issue.

GAZZUZZ:


You have an electronic assisted steering.

The issue you have is a partial Contact in the fusebox . Remove all fuses that have wires and replace with the original. Look into the +50A
card fuses usually from that area

Hello GAZZUZZ,

Please what do you think could be the reason why the accelerator pedal of a car can just stop working while driving.

If I park the car for like 10mins or more, then I start the car, it will start working again then after a while of driving, still on motion it will stop working again(accelerating the car) till I park the car to restart again after a while.

Dragunz:

Dragunz:

Make him rest, the issue has been sorted out.

If you can come to Lagos, that'll be good. Send me an email

if you got it toks, you should use foreign synthetic mobil 1(5w-30, 5w-20 or 0w-20) as indicated on the oil filler cap but if you bought it nigerian used, use the local synthetic oil, semi-synthetic or mineral oil but that will depend on the state of the engine

ShitStain:


Nigerian used. Engine is in excellent condition. Only major maintenance i had to do was radiation tank replacement as the old one was leaking and gasket replacement as it got damaged during replacement of the radiator tank
So mobil 1 5w 30 it is?
Any cheaper and reliable alternative please?

frebor:


Check ENYO, AP or Eterna Filling stations for Shell oils

Macmilla:

Chairman, one quick question.
In removing a cat converter, which method is better between gutting and straight piping?
I have a 2005 accord with a gutted cat, it sounds a bit like a leaking exhaust and I'm not sure why. Probably due to the absent cat. I've had 3 different panel beaters look at it and all insisted there was no leak. I don't mind living with the sound as it is, but I was wondering if putting a straight pipe in place of the cat pot will make it sound better or add any benefit overall.
Thanks.

Synthetic oil will make your engine live free of sludge. I always do recommend the US mobil 1 however there's a widespread of fake synthetic mobil 1 oils in the market so if you have to use mineral oils, be sure you reduce your oil change intervals to 2-3 months or 2000-2500km
