Did u buy it toks or naija used

trendyprettygir:
Please I need help.

I have changed:
Radiator
Condenser
Complete fan
Radiator cover
Top gasket
Done surfacing of cylinder
Fan belt
Crankshaft sensor or so
I used coolant
Radiator hose has been checked
I changed oil and oil filter
Scanned (this brought the sensor matter)

Yet the radiator sends water to the reservoir and the reservoir is full but radiator remains empty. We have tried removing from reservoir and send to the radiator. Same thing repeats.Then the car temperature guage goes up and then comes down.

If I switch on ac temperature guage goes up and go down when I switch off.

Another thing is the car vibrates for few seconds when it’s started and then stops and it does not happen maybe till I start another time but not everyday or everytime. It’s Hyundai 2012 accent.

I am tired, depressed, and somewhat suicidal. I have spent all my funds fixing car. What could be the problem?

What is really wrong?

I think your radiator is clogged. Consider changing it if you have not.

Also, your thermostat (if still intact) seems stuck closed.

is it a good advise to buy nigerian used car knowing people hardly maintain car now

ikdaddy01:
That's the reason why it's called COCONUT tree.
Sorry but 80k -90k go sure komot ur account .
Glass have different brands. Premium and basic per ser. Fading /clouding may occur over time for non premium brand.

Thank you bro, I learnt my lesson already, like a fellow here said he abides by - never parks under any tree, especially during rainy season - so I will always abide by going forward.

There are many well maintained Nigerian used vehicles, and some are even in better condition than foreign used ones.

Ensure you carry out a thorough inspection, and keep in mind that quality vehicles like these don't come as cheap as the poorly maintained ones.

Snap the temp gauge b4 starting the car.
Snap after the car has been running for 20 mins
Snap after the ac has been on for 5 minutes

Dud you buy a brand new radiator or used one?

Did you buy a brand new radiator cap when you replaced radiator?

Place a small paper in front of your condenser when your fan is on, does it stick to the condenser/ radiator?

Answers to these and pictures requested will guide in providing solution.

Change your radiator cap, get a good one. check that your radiator filler neck is not damaged on the inside… if there’re cuts on the inside you might have to change the radiator filler.

Hi guys. Please I need some assistance

My Honda Accord 2008 4plug. Had an accident front part hit another vehicle. It had the following damage

Condenser
Radiator
Grill
Bumper
One full light


I replaced all and the car was good

But now as soon as I turn on ignition 2 seconds later D starts blinking without starting the engine
Also VSA and ABS light are now on.

All these are not there before the accident

I try to scan ABS and the 3 different machine I tried cannot connect to it

I try scanning gear and it brought out U0122

The car gear selects fine and it has been like that for 2 months now.

I have read the two front abs sensor with meter they seems to be ok

I have also change gear oil.

Please what more can I try.

My Rewire said it’s a board order the steering that is damage. I would like clarification before he tampers with it.

Don't do It.

Check ground connection bolts under the bonnet, you will most likely see a loose or missing screw that is behind the front bumper on the driver and passenger side. I guess it's by the passenger side with wires not tightened properly, or hanging loosely or wires cut off due to the crash.

Thanks for your response.

If you are talking about the image I attached to this message then I just checked that today and the two wires are properly bolted to the body, out of curiosity I even unscrewed it and screw it back.

Do you know if there could be another ground wire somewhere else

Car drives just fine. I am just trying to get blinking D to stop and vsa abs to off


I only check ground wire on the passenger side as shown in the picture, please is there another one on driver side too?

Check driver's side too

kingreign:
Check driver's side too

I have checked today and it’s also well bolted

Picture below



however I found one wire laying around where the honk is, it caught my attention when it sparked on making contact with the iron behind the bumper, I traced it and I realize it came from around same place as the ground wire I checked earlier. I have attached the picture also. That’s the only free wire I was able to fine laying around

Check for blockages in all the pipes including the pipes in and out of the heater matrix. I believe the engine thermostat is not present as we speak but if present, remove and test its operation. Bleed the coolant thoroughly and start the engine. Allow bubbles to escape while engine is on idle the cover with the radiator cap. Observe and feedback.

Hello house, I have an 2006 Corolla that is having oil leakages. I have changed the valve cover seal and crankshaft seals solving the leakages there but I discovered that there is a small leakage at the back, doing further investigation I discovered that the leakages is from the Timing Chain Tensioner as shown in the pictures. I ask by mechanic about it and he has no idea what I'm saying (I don't think he has done a job like that before). Has anybody been able to fix the leakage from the timing chain tensioner before? I saw on Youtube that the rubber O-ring will be changed and the crankshaft will have to be turned in a certain way to unhook and extend the tensioner back after fixing a new rubber ring. I don't want to give this job to somebody that has no idea what he's doing. Pls I will like to be directed to any good mechanic (in Lagos mainland) that can do it without messing up my chain timing.

Have you wash up the area with Petrol after changing the valve cover seal? So as to be sure it from there.
Maybe just maybe it the old one that still burning out gradually.

Thanks for the imput. I do see little wet oil around there after a long drive and it does drop on the ground. I will do as you said and wash with petrol and keep monitoring for a while
