Chairman Gazzuz, I thank God for ur life, even though u have a very busy schedule u still make out time to answer peoples queries and solving so many people's problems and at d same time teaching so many people plenty plenty things, this thread is an eye opening thread. May God continue to bless u,

I intend visiting your workshop for a Gazzuz touch on my car, since I got it I hv been d one doing repairs to it, I have vowed not to patronize any kazeem again in my life. Can I come on Monday?

My car vibrates on idle when d ac is on, though I had the following codes

P2185
P0141
P0325
P0172

I just scanned it and got 2 more codes

P1121
P0171

I hv tried getting a good knock sensor to no avail
I hv looked for where to get an 02 sensor adapter for the bank 1 sensor 2, no success yet, I think both 02 sensors need cleaning anyway, but ur expert eye will see better, I will change the engine air filter today, the fuel pump I got on Thursday didn't fit well, will change it today, but I still need u to touch my car. Pls let me know if I can come on Monday. Thanks and God bless u. More anointing to ur mussle, more success to ur hussle

. P2185
P0141
P0325
P0172

I just scanned it and got 2 more codes

P1121
P0171



the 171 and 172 are lean codes, meaning a possible intake leak, so start by checking all hoses and resealing gaskets on the aluminum intake.

while u at it, the 325 means a rodent got the harness to ur knock sensor, so fix that when the intake is out.
clean it ur throttle body to solve the 1121

O2 sensor B1S2 on the exhaust manifold should be replaced to solve the 141.

The radiator has a missing temp sensor, it is connected on the lower right of the car.

This is a lot, it is not DIY, Google will help u guide tech if required.l

Good evening my car Guru..compliments of the season. I need your expertise and advice/suggestion. I drive a 2004/05 Toyota corolla that I bought Naija used in July which I wanted to give out for Uber. Car's been in use for over 3months before I had to retrieve it from the UBER dude due to bad handling and rough usage. Today I had a meeting in Agbara, bought 2k fuel and headed off, just at Agbara bus-stop I had oil leakage, after checks by mechanics say my oil sump was broken, They had it patched, got a new screw head which caused the damage and bought 4 litres Mobil oil to replace the lost oil, than I headed off.
On getting home I noticed my fuel was low as the low fuel indicator light came on(I only used AC when coming back, even though the AC is not working fine),I was surprised that 2k fuel could only take me to Agbara and back(a 70km journey). Could it be the oil leakage caused the fuel consumption? Coz I am still surprised. When the car was used for Uber for 3months, the driver never complained to me that it gulps fuel so what could be the cause of this fuel gulping? Your HELP/ADVICE needed urgently.

Buy a full tank before you complain, not 2k fuel from empty.

Good evening Gurus in the house.
I want to say a big thank you to Oga Gazzuzz and his colleagues in the house for a wonderful job you are doing. May Almighty God rewards you abundantly. I have a Toyota Avensis wagon 2004 which I bought few weeks back. Based on what I learnt from people around, I was made to know that the car caries the same engine with Toyota big daddy. I am planning to change both the engine and the transmission oil because the transmission oil is getting dark too. Actually, one kazeem have recommended a visco2000(forte oil) for the engine.

There's a high chance the engine is still on synthetic oil. Oga Gazzuzz this man needs your oil.

I do not intend to entrust it in abybody's hand for care. Please, will the packing of the car for 3yrs affect
The configuration? Please, somebody should counsel me.

Thanks

Hello boss, my car just started this issue. Once i hit 110km/hr the car starts shaking, more like the engine shake as the vibration is well felt in the front.

1. I have changed engine mounts so definitely not this

2. I have had different mechs inspect ball joints and tie rods which isn't upto 6 months i changed all and all mech said no issues on that.

3. I have been on Google to look for people with similar experience and they all stated the full front shaft is the problem which me too i'm beginning to suspect because even when i'm coming down a slope without throttling the engine once it hits 110km/hr, the car vibrates. All this has been try with and without Ac on though even my Ac does not put any noticeable load ob my car engine as it's a new engine.

Car : Honda civic 2007

So please what could be the issue. I anticipate your response. Thank you and happy Xmas.

boss,

"VSC Off” & “Check Engine” Lights On in my 2010 toyota corolla, and the vehicle is not accelerating. I scanned the car and the code indicated a faulty throttle positioning sensor. My mechanic installed a new one today and the vehicle worked fine until late in the night when the lights came on again.

I observed that this problem only occurs early in the morning and at night when the headlamp is automatically illuminated.

I need suggestions please before trying a new mechanic. I am frustrated. cry cry cry
