Hydronium:
Greetings all.

I got searching and stumbled upon an ACURA MDX 2015. I like the looks and the likes, but I'd like to know if anyone has experience with it. Is it a decent car, maintenance-wise, driving-wise, fuel-wise etc.

I appreciate 🙏
This is a good ride with high maintenance culture which at the same time can take a lot of beats and poor maintenance culture. But comes with a lot of sensors that needs attention

I thank you Blackbishop

A customer recently experienced a concerning incident with their RX 330 at a gas station. After refueling, the car refused to start, prompting a thorough investigation. It was determined that the fuel had been contaminated with water, leading to issues with the pump assembly.

To address the issue, the fuel tank was promptly removed and drained, and a new fuel pump assembly was installed. Additionally, a comprehensive "Tune up" was conducted to safeguard the integrity of the vehicle's systems and ensure no further complications arose.

Vigilance and prompt action in such situations are crucial to maintaining the optimal performance of your vehicle. #VehicleMaintenance #FuelContamination

Most petrol-driven cars are equipped with a coil pack, which is essential for igniting the fuel during the combustion process.

Coil pack failures typically arise from wear and tear, but can also be attributed to several other factors:
- Excessive heat or overheating
- Water intrusion in the coil area
- Worn spark plugs
- Oil contamination
- Faulty wiring or harness
- Defective electrical connections
- Counterfeit Parts

In Nigeria, poor maintenance practices are the leading cause of these issues.

A catalytic converter is essential for every vehicle; however, it has increasingly been stolen or damaged as a result of poor-quality fuel.
The most detrimental consequence is a malfunctioning catalytic converter, which subsequently obstructs the car's exhaust system, and if left unchecked, could harm the engine and transmission.

Re: Mechanic Roundtable by Blackbishop(op):
The 2015 Lexus RX350 is experiencing P0031 and P0051 errors, indicating a low voltage in the oxygen sensor heater control circuit.

These diagnostic trouble codes can be challenging for some mechanics, primarily due to a lack of knowledge on how to interpret them.

Symptoms include:
- Engine misfires
- Presence of unburnt fuel and a noticeable odor.
- Emission of thick, whitish or black smoke, often accompanied by traces of unburnt fuel.
- Activation of the check engine light.

To resolve these issues:
- Replace the Air/Fuel Ratio Sensors.
- Inspect the connectors for any faults.
- Examine the fuses and relays for proper functionality.

Hi owunabastard, please do you know of a very knowledgeable automechanic for Lexus GS350?

My car vibrates between 20 - 40km/h when accelerating or decelerating.

I changed the propeller shaft but the issue is still persistent.

My axis is Ikeja - Ojota - Ogudu in Lagos. Thank you

Good day owunabastard,

Except you need a textbook answer more critical diagnosis will be needed to ascertain the exact issue.

But be prepared to do overhauling of your suspension system.

Chevrolet Impala 2016 engine was replaced by a kazeem with no idea of how it works. The engine was replaced with a Chevrolet Equinox engine quite the same but a bit different in configuration.

After the abracadabra the engine goes off if you rev the car, I got involved and a thorough diagnosis was done and couple of sensors was really showing issues both on OBD and data stream.

Re: Mechanic Roundtable by Blackbishop(op): 4:12pm On Dec 04, 2025
Avoid your local kazeems that will weld your car timing chain adjuster to cause harm to the engine than good
