Waspy:i have been experiencing that same exact issue on my p11, 1997. i couldn't scan cos my port seems to be obd1. Mechanic says its bad fuel, but i don't think so. gazzuzz is most likely right. its likely going to be temp sensor of the coolant, in my opinion. otherwise, why is it that the issue only comes up when the engine has been run, but doesn't happen when engine is cold like in the early mornings. |

swagdopey: try 10W40 or 5w40 it comes in total quartz 9000. |

apexquest:Conversely, mine occurs only in the mornings. Once I get it running, then it is good for the whole day. A roadside mech asked me to change my plugs but I'm yet to consider it. |

Hello Gazzuzz, Livinhubby I really need your expertise on this matter. The issue I'm batteling is one that reocurred. My mechanic replaced the Dual Linear Solenoid (Flat Switch) of my transmission about 2 weeks ago. Prior to this, my gear wasn't changing appropriately. 2 days ago, I noticed leaks coming out of the transmission and took the car back to the Mechanic to get it checked out. He noticed that the leaks were coming from the flat switch whgich was replaced. Upon, sealing the leak, I left the workshop and barely 5 minutes later, my car refused to engage the second gear. Right now my mechanic is telling me that the switch hardly goes bad and he is very sure of the quality of the switch (Solenoid) that he purchased and my best bid right now will be to replace the transmission. Attached is a picture of the solenoid which I think is responsible for this issue. Thank you for your anticipated response.

Homguy: nissan not very friendly when it comes to parts and 2nd hand value. Will rather opt for the honda if it is rust free, good electrical wiring, good engine and transmission, clean interior. 2 Likes |

Oga @Gazzuzz, My brake cylinder has broken again. Just discovered my brake oil kept reducing and I discovered oil dripping from the left rear wheel. I changed it with a 'tokunbo' in November and now it's has broken again. If I can't find in oyinbo can you suggest how/where to get a good or new one. Thanks.

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:20pm On Apr 08, 2016 |
ukata16: your drums might be worn out, causing excessive stretch on the brake cylinder. Also stop using toks, buy a new one, also drain brake oil and use ATE it is a blue coloured brake oil dot4. 1 Like |
