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?
I thing they remove the propeller and added a shaft to the front side


Im confused ; is it advisable to convert back to AWD ?

So far the car is normal ;just that the gear issue caused a lot of things ; mechanics are very wicked set of people ,especially that spare parts in Warri there

You'd spend over 3.5m if care isn't taken should you try to revert back to AWD

Please house, I bought a Honda Accord 08, since I bought it the car has not been selecting gear very well. If it drives and and throttle sometimes it select properly sometimes the gear fails to select and the car becomes sluggish.

I changed the gear it's the same thing happening.

Another thing is for sometime now my battery has been running down. I went to an electrician and he changed the panel by the side of the master control near the door. But the batter still rundown. Infact I am tired of the car. Please I need suggestions on what to do, thank you

Location of the car?
You need a very highly competent technician to fix this car. Not a remote diagnosis or remote repair.

HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2010 2.4 Litre ENGINE.

Irritating tik tik sound from inside the engine. (Engine performance not affected though)

Wondering if it can be fixed.

Thanks in advance.

0W20 recommended but if its my call, I'd take 5W20 fully synthetic.

Do not bypass your fan or delete your thermostat

0w20,or 5w30
Not advisable sir, running the fan direct and removing the thermostat will make the car running on very very low temperature,the fuel consumption will increase more and engine will start building up sludge gradually.

Since your car is a tokunbo you can start on the right path......

0w20 is the recommended oil . Please follow owners manual at all times..
Please and please do not mess with the fan. The car came in as a tokunbo and you want to start rearranging the car like the road side mechanic.

I use God beg you live the car they way it came in and don't start manufacturing your own ideas . Don't remove any thermostat .. A word is enough for the wise.....


We are your sure plug for engine oil . I import Mobil 1 from the USA.

If you can afford a car Worth over 10m naira .. you should able to afford imported oil for 62k


Due to weak naira we went from 58k per gallon to now 62k. And the increase will continue as the naira becomes weaker....

Keep in mind oil cheaper than replacing engine. Don't say oil too cost..

My car ( 2016 Camry ) started with foul odor, then after I noticed the AC vent is blowing hot air. I parked immediately. I later realized the there was no coolant inside the radiator again.

While experiencing all that, the temperature Guage didn't raise to indicate Overheating.

I was later advised to change the radiator to a Double Cell, which I did, but I'm still experiencing the same issue.

The car is less than 10days Tokunbo. I was advised to remove the thermostat and connect the fan directly. But I don't want to do that.

I'll appreciate your help. Thanks.

You need a very highly competent technician within your locality to check that car. It's problem is quite vague.
Re: Tell Us Your Car Faults. Let's Assess And Fix Them by 2cribz: 10:24pm On Sep 12, 2024
Foul smell is a clear indicator your ac pupes or lines are leaking. If no traces of the gas from the engine bay area,then im sorry your ac valve which is usually inder steering interior is bad or thee runner in the middle is blocked.
If u remove the thermostat,it will overheat. The valve is blocked,or its leaking gas from either engine area or underneath dashboard,thats if its severe.my guess would be from either condenser lines or ac lines,all at engine bay area.

Modified *** 13/09.

We later find out, it’s a leaking heater core, thats causing the soggy floorboard, hot smoke coming out of the AC vent and high temperature in the car.

I was told, they’ll have to remove the the whole dashboard to get it fixed or they can easily bypass it.

Gurus in the house, is the okay to bypass the heater core in a Toyota Camry? And also what are effect of doing that ?
