Hi everyone, I have a 2015 Mercedes ML350. The car was working normally, then last night it just wouldn't engage gear, it just revved, called the mechanic and he came and said the sump seal was bad. We fixed the leakage, called someone to reset the EGS. But here's the issue: The car still wouldn't move unless the mechanic uses his scanner to force it by probably bypassing the EGS or something. The error code is "UD426" The mechanic is saying I need to replace the entire EGS but I don't trust his judgement Anyone here dealt with this before? Please Help |

kingreign:The car is located in Ajah, Lagos. I could be mistaken about the error code, I only glanced it from what the mechanic showed me. It could be UO426 like somebody pointed out here |

Hi everyone, I use a 2003 Toyota corolla. Anytime I engage reverse there is this banging sound, I've changed the engine mount, shaft cup and bearing then it became fair for sometimes and started again and I've been using it like that since then. Yesterday night when I engaged reverse it made the bang sound and car went off and refuse to start. I had to replace the starting fuse and start the car again, if I put it on drive it will move well but if I put on reverse it will bang and trip off and cut the fuse as well. Experience engineers in the house Please what can be the culprit? |

humbleglobal:The car fell into terrible hands, you say you noticed the engine oil drying up prior to this, that's a terrible thing, the ringing was most likely done bad and the damage already began before the poor ringing job, new engine time! |

Goodmorning, please my car developed issue last night, when I parked and turned off the engine, it continued to make sound until I removed the battery. What could be the caused and solution. |

humbleglobal:First place to start is to change your mechanics, you were dealing with quacks. Oil drying up shouldn't equate to the next thing changing rings. Secondly, in correct valve timing Thirlby, compression on each cylinder might not be at the right specification any more |

I always tell u dumbos. B4 they will ri g engine.it means the piston rings have broken.crankshaft have cut..etc. your piston rings were stuck duebtonyewrs and months of gulping naija fake fuel which causes carbon build up onbpiston crowns,thereby leadingnto piston seizing and mad oil consumption which would affect injectors,plugs and overall engine performance. A liquid that costs 100k would have solved every.now the original rings have been removed and fake china installed.even if u buy toks engine.na 90/10@ chances say na reworked engine...sell the lexus and buy corolla or crv.4 plugs.dem don chop u taya.500k nawa o.byt we knw say e go pass 500k. Buy car u willbe able to dismantle and understand no..na rx. humbleglobal: |

If it continued to make sound at park or at idle. Then either engine oil has dried out and connecting rods and the rest have done meet and greet .thus engine knocked... Or timing chain or timing belt has snapped and cut. Those are the two culprits. But me i know say engine don knock..break Adooife: |

Good evening House, can I use these products for my Toyota Camry that has piston slap sounds according to what I saw online. I have to mix the second product (flusher) with the old oil and I do my car for 15 to 20 minutes then drain the whole thing and after that, I add the new oil to get out with the first image product (ceratec) and it is supposed to help with the piston slap sound. Is this okay to do?
