Good day house,
I have an issue with my Honda Civic 2008 model. My car uses drum brakes (lining) at the back and it's always leaking oil every now and then. My mechanic and even brake master has changed the rubber severally but after few days or weeks it starts leaking again. I was now advised to convert it to brake disc to have peace of mind. Pls like how much would all the mechanical parts needed for the conversion cost before they start calling inflated price for me. Please....

For this.. I think about these services forex

Very simple thing
Get another back break drums
Get another break pots since they have work on d old ones,let then adjust the breaks well the leaks will stop.
But you can still convert to brak disks the choice is urs.

Good morning my people,

Please I recently changed my Exhaust system and after sometime I noticed that my vehicle jerks while on motion, according to my mechanic he said that fuel mixes with water somewhere.

Now I hear a kind of sand at the back like woooooooooo while accelerating the vehicle. This sound can be frustrating. The mechanic said it is inner shaft bearing, which he has changed, yet the noise is still there. Please does anyone have an idea of what is wrong please?

Vehicle: Toyota Avalon 2022

Imagine buying such an expensive ride only to patronize cheap quarks as mechanic. Better sell that car before you ruin it’s glorious destiny

Hello, please 2008 Honda crv 'P' parking light not showing on dash, so the car is cranking but not starting. Please help. Other light come up, like when you open the door, but those P, D3 lights are not coming up.

New year in a bit

Happy New Year Everyone, I wish everyone a prosperous and fulfilling year ahead.

I'm having issues with my 2010 Ford Edge power steering. Idling, it's a struggle to turn the wheels (especially to park the car in tight spots). I changed the power steering, yet I feel it has become worse because sometimes on high RPMS it takes some manoeuvring to get going properly. I need recommendations of knowledgeable mechanics to fix this for me.

Note, I noticed that my mechanic set my idling RPM at almost below 0.5, is this proper?

One of the best cars you’ll ever use in your life. And I’ve never used the car so I’m not patronizing. Please buy a very good one.

It possible you have a leak from somewhere
Radiator
Heater core
Water pump
Hose
Top gasket
Get a technician to help you check it troughly so you can know where the issue is coming from.

Hello. I'd want to acquire a 2010 Acura TL as my first car; all I need is something comfy and reliable on the road; I'm not concerned with resale value. Furthermore, engine parts for the Acura TL are less expensive than those for the Camry Spider. Is buying an acura tl a good move? I need advice, please.

My Mechanic said I should remove the thermostat…. Is this a good idea

No dont if you remove ur thermostat ur car will stary running on low temperature and will increase fuel consumption. The engine will start to build up sludge so dont.
Just try and look for the issue and solve it instead of adding more problem to it.

Na mechaic ..thats why i hate cars with too many useless plastic fancy covers. They need to remove all of those first to inspect .get yorself another engine bro.

Well I believe my engine still work OK no bad sound even sometimes while my engine is running l will not hear the sound and try to start the car again thinking the car is off but it’s not that’s how cool my engine sound is. l started having this high temperature issue few days ago and I am really suspecting the serpentine belt

Replace your radiator cap (cover), it’s weak, cant hold pressure thus Your coolant is evaporating.

It’s a 2k fix

Maintenance light was not reset when last they service ur car. Check google to see how to reset it.

Corolla 2009.
Though I changed the battery and have been driving the car with no issues for 2 weeks. Just yesterday, the alternator issue resurfaced. Now the battery light isn't coming up at all even when ignition is on. But the battery is still discharging while driving. The alternator was tested okay. I'm just tired.

erico2k2:
What car are you driving? cos some cars you have to reprogram the system to let it know it has to re charge the battery.There is a place to clixk that says change battery

[I did that it worked well for 2weeks and the issue resurfaced again. Alternator is not charging the battery again.quote author=Abbeyismo post=133327966]

Replace with another battery and test.[/quote]

You need a good eletrician to help you check why it doing low charging.

It is basically a honda,but the craze by Nigerians for anything toyota makes this car not popular,but in reality it beats toyota any day.

Good afternoon everyone,
I drive a Kia Sportage 2012. Engine was bad and I had it changed. Mechanic delivered with some faults (driver side window not working, AC not working, head lamp and dashboard light flickering intermittently). I took it for a spin and before I got back, the ride would keep going off.

I've scanned it and it came up with these codes: P0560, P0625, P2119, P2110, P0661, P0017. You can view the full report here - https://usait.x431.com/Home/Report/reportDetail/diagnose_record_id/28c6b094ge54KwtZtZoGOM2Ylp/report_type/D/l/en-us

Am I screwed?

Edit: I forgot to add that its leaking oil. Infact, the oil is on the "L" mark on the dipstick
