Efenaira:Change the sim. That's what most of these tracker installers do to continue ripping you off. A tracker is a one time purchase and doesn't need renewal. The worst the tracker installer can do is to lock your car and claim that subscription period has expired. The disadvantage is you will now be the person monitoring your car and recover it incase of theft but I think it's worth it as that's exactly what I did. Infact I changed the password on mine and told him that he no longer has access. But eventually had to change sim because of NIN issues since he was the one that registered the sim. Even using the app is free and available on playstore depending on the tracker model |

When you know that the tracker is about to expire,if its near weekend,park ot st home. Trackers are usually hidden inside glovebox,inside steering air bag area,under steering,inside side pillar near front glass.find it,whereever he hid it and installed it,find it,disable it and go the local way,parking inside bank,mall,lounges,etc with steering lock and car alarm active ... |

9icetoo:It is because there was a leaking in the heater core. So, all the coolant got leaked.. As for the vibration, it's the inner shaft, and it was changed by a mechanic. I noticed some changed in the transmission. Car was jerking and losing power while on motion. Calibration was done by clicking the wire with the battery and that stopped.. Getting a good and modern mechanic is war in this ibadan.. Assuming I saw this message hefore changing, I wouldn't have try that.. |

Oga GAZZUZZ and others ! Please glk 350 2012 gear noise when shifting gears. No error codes or check. It's driving well, but the noise when shifting to park, neutral, reverse, or drive is bothersome. |

josephsm823:It'd be very very difficult for Gazzuzz to reply this cuz he's too busy being dead........ Sorry |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by oluwaseunla(m): 7:13am On Oct 07, 2024 |
josephsm823:You need a workshop to take a proper look at that, to be able to check if it's an ISM issue or a transmission issue. Not sure it can be done remotely. |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by josephsm823(m): 1:33pm On Oct 07, 2024 |
oluwaseunla:Thank you bro. Did that already. It's one rubber that fell off under. |

Please can someone recommend a good engine oil for 2009 V4 Venza. 5w-20 and 0w-20 are written on the oil cap but the oil got short when I used one of them in Mobil1. I need help on a better recommendation |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by olumzzz(m): 11:12pm On Oct 08, 2024 |
jennann:Use 5w30 for same mobil1 and monitor for oil burn |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Louiscars: 9:15am On Oct 09, 2024 |
jennann:Vehicle is either leaking oil from somewhere or burning oil, rectifying the cause would stop the issue of oil shortages. As for brand recommendations I’d say Liquimoly 5w30 |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by jennann(f): 10:27am On Oct 09, 2024 |
[quote author=olumzzz post=132345744]Use 5w30 for same mobil1 and monitor for oil burn [/quote Thanks for your reply. I ve also used Mobil 1 5w-30 and same issue persisted. I ve checked for oil drops on the ground where I park the car in case there’s a leak but the ground is always dry and no oil leakage signs within the car bonnet. The Mobil 1 was gotten from a Mobil shop. |

Louiscars:No oil stains on the ground where I park the car or even within the bonnet to indicate oil leakage from somewhere. I ve used Mobil1 5w-30 and same oil shortage within few weeks of oil change persisted |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by dru23(m): 11:12am On Oct 09, 2024 |
jennann:I do import Mobil 1 engine oil directly from the USA . Pic (1)below ... . And also the issue of oil shorten or burning is this the first time you experience such ..... You could also experience oil burn for different reason. A bad pcv Valve could also be the reason (pic2). You look for a competent mechanic to check the pcv Valve

Pls I need help. I bought a thermostat for my honda accord, i decided to test it inside hot water. The valve opened ( became longer ) but didn't close again after removing from the boiling water. Till now, it's still open. Is it how it should be? I thought it should close when cold. Pls help |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by 2cribz: 12:42pm On Oct 09, 2024 |
How can it be closed when its not inside engine. Will charger charge a phone or battery without elextricity Bola4boy: |

Fake oil seller. Guys avoid him.he sells rebranded fake oils. dru23: |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by 2cribz: 12:46pm On Oct 09, 2024 |
Oga your engine is burning oil wither from burnt piston top or stuck piston rings caused by carbon build up. Pour 2 litres of nnpc gear oil into the engine.fire it aggresively for 2days or a week,drain out all the oil. It will help unclogg your piston rings and also eash out the engine internals. Its a good process.but works in the long run. When turning in new oil,add stop smoke 2 cans into the engine and thebremaining 4litres of engine oil. The smoke should dissapear within 2 days.if ubchexk your muffler tip,im so sure it will be mad carbon filled/black powder. Youtube is there,type flushing engine using kerosene or gear oil.u will see the process on youtube. jennann: |

jennann:Well, if you’re sure that there are no external leaks from the valve cover oil seal, rear main oil seal and timing chain cover seal then the engine is wearing out ( burning oil basically). Take a snapshot of your engine with the engine cover off let see |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Bola4boy(m): 1:01pm On Oct 09, 2024 |
2cribz:But I think when temperature drops, it should close. Pls explain well boss |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by olumzzz(m): 1:06pm On Oct 09, 2024 |
[quote author=jennann post=132350095][/quote]Then as dru23 suggested, check your pcv. If all good there, just switch to mobil xhp or total quartz 5000 and reduce your oil change interval to 3000km till you can overhaul or change your engine |
