Re: Car Talk Chat Room by jceesquare(m): 2:33pm On May 22, 2019 |
erico2k2: There are 2 things I look out for in a car when considering fuel consumption (let's assume everything is factory standard like your Yaris). 1. The total weight of the car. 2. The engine capacity: a) The maximum toque the car has and at what RPM. It would ensure the car does not need to rev real high to get going of the line (great for city driving). b) The maximum horse power. Perfect for high way driving and downshift or overtaking. |

erico2k2: It's 2.4L 4plugs. Scanned the car, I was told the absence of catalyst (beneath the car) was the reason. I searched online on relation of catalyst regards to fuel consumption, I only found conflicting opinions. The car still sucks, drink and swallow fuel till now. |

fulfilled2016:when someone claims they scan ur car and give you a result let them also give you the code not just say things cos you Cat converter has no electrical component so there is no way it can be scanned. It is not in any way connected to your car computer so that Mechanic is bulshiting you! 1 Like |
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by fulfilled2016: 4:25am On May 24, 2019 |
erico2k2:Cat converter has no electronic component? I don't know that though. Here are the codes, I saw it myself : P0141 & PO135 |
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by Toluowo: 10:33am On May 24, 2019 |
fulfilled2016: Sorry for your predicament. I've been there as well, so I know how it feels. Before replacing anything. Perform the basic checks (Exhaust leak, nozzles, plugs, intake manifold leak etc) Those codes relate to o2 sensor and catalytic converter. Test o2 sensor with a multimeter to be sure the recommended voltage is reaching it. Also check the wiring for faults like partial contacts and wrong connections. Good luck. |
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by fulfilled2016: 12:35pm On May 24, 2019 |
Toluowo: Yeah, thank you so much. I asked a Panel beater to check my exhaust for leaks, he checked and told me there was no leakage from the exhaust. Please how do I check the intake manifold leak? Do the Rewire technicians have a multimeter (for the 02 sensor check) or who can I take it to to check? Lastly, what did you do to resolve your car, was it an Honda accord too? |

Toluowo:can I get a car for taxi business at 300k |
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by erico2k2(m): 7:03pm On May 24, 2019 |
fulfilled2016:Bro that has got to do with your O2 Sensors, so do the basics, check that you have no leaks in your exhust system including at the manifolds from start to finish inspect it. then check your 02 sensors wiring, clean if 1st if that do not work means it has to be changed.Try get new ones instead of used ones |
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by erico2k2(m): 7:06pm On May 24, 2019 |
fulfilled2016:your manifold is where your exhaust starts, it is the physical point where ur exhaust pipe meets your Engine body. The check is physical, not electrical once again. |
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by erico2k2(m): 7:07pm On May 24, 2019 |
fulfilled2016:Just so you know, 2,4 is quite a big Engine for a saloon car, anything above 2 ltr is a petrol Drinker. |

Can anybody recommend a good AC technician for Toyota Corolla please? Thank you. |
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by Nobody: 5:22am On May 27, 2019 |
I had a minor accident with my e36 one time and the engine shifted forward, broken engine seat and center bearing. Fast forward to two days after fixing the car, the center bearing broke again. I called another mechanic to fix another one and he told me the propeller is 1cm longer than the clip stud under the car unless we cut 1cm from the propeller, he wont be able to fix it. I need advice on what to do. |
