Ho guys, I replaced my car radiator. Now the mechanic is saying something about buying fan, I was arguing fan is supposed to come along with radiator or am I wrong?

Hey, I have been off here for weeks due to being very busy, a good thing you updated the status of the vehicle, I see you spent near 2.5M to get the vehicle at least moving again.
It was an Awd, now it is front wheel drive, I'm sure your wiring has been messed up, movikg forward, i hate to say this, expect lots of electrical issues.
You'll be very lucky if you don't need to spend the same amount or more on another auto trans box before the year runs out. This path you have found yourself on due to being ill-advised will have your pockets jiggled very rigourously, maybe more than once.
My advice, find a good mechanic to revert car back to how manufacturer made it, a good electrician to do the same with all wiring, scan the car (engine and trans) after this, and see what codes you have, if none, and the car drives smoothly, then count yourself among the luckiest of 2024, stay well, eat healthy, avoid alcohol.

Thank you
I’m still using the car 🚗
No issues till now


But I’m planning on changing the shock absorber, bowel joints ,let’s say work on the legs soon , then sooner or later convert back to AWD ❗️

Fan is sold separately. It doesn't come with radiator.

Oh. Thanks.

Guys, my car drive sluggish, in the last two weeks ago, I changed some coil, clean the plug and the car start running well, this week I noticed the car start sluggish movement, what could be the problem.

Oil is meeting the plugs or engine gunk is killing the plugs. When u chsng3d the plugs,were they all black filled of carbon and dirt.

Yes the plug is filled with dirty oil, the mechanic wash it with fuel and replace it back.

U have either a leak from valve stem seals,exhaust gasket,or your engine is filled of gunk. Have u used a borescope to see what top of pistons look like. Isit burnt..tell the mechanic to use adapter it wont cost less than 400 per 1.

Why do you want to convert back to AWD?
Do you have all your front and rear differential and prop shaft and rear shafts still with you?

Run a scan and see codes thrown, check for oil leaks in the valve cover seal.
You treated symptoms not the problem, find the problem and fix, then it won't reoccur.

I woke up to discover this morning that wiper is faulty. It's just making noise and not moving. Who do I call to check

Mechanic, rewire or panel

Please need help with my Elantra 2014 model.
Started with this;
When I turn on the car, it will run but if I turn it off and try to start it, it won't start till after some hours.
I changed battery but failed. Took it to my mechanic who scanned and changed alternator, key start and a couple other items but no response.. he even checked the fuel ⛽️ but nothing..

In fact the car returned worst than it left...

Pls can someone suggest where I can get help in lagos..

I de agree side.

No scanner to scan the car?

Have you checked your ECT sensor and your fuel pressure regulator?

Update: Thanks for your response @Louiscars . I think they did all this today. They tested with a different abs by removing the connector from mine and reconnecting to the other. The ABS light disappeared but the BRAKE light remained. I think that might be as a result of the other connections (the black tiny tubes) not made as it was just a test. Now I don’t want to believe the ABS of my new car has gone bad. Any remedy to this? Is it possible it gets fixed on its own with time? Maybe the water that
entered the ABS dries up with time? Any help is appreciated..

A happy new month to you sir, sorry for the late response. Well I see you’re making progress with the vehicle.
When the new module was tested did they scan vehicle to see if the stop switch code came back.
Sadly if it didn’t, you might have to replace the module.by the way is the connector to the module broken or something ?
