Good that is a diagnosis . how are the parking brakes? Aka hand brakes, are they effective?
Chief, I'm interested in this. My brake('02,V40) is not 'sharp', behaves like that of the guy you responded. I have changed the 'Master'& d 'servo'still brake goes flat before braking. Parking brake is not that effective. Could it be the brake problem?

For the AC, I don't know if mine is manual or otherwise. It's working but drags the engine? What's d relationship?

I appreciate sir. But you mean i should ignore the smoke because at time it smells like where oil is burning ..you know something like that.

3 types:

2.0L 4plugs engine with 5speed manual gear.( Mostly used by transporters. Some Mazda cars uses same engine too.)
Engine is rugged no doubt but I don't know if it the way the commercial guys use it... Once the engine overheats .... It's a go.
2.5L V6 engine with 4 speed auto gear.: Never used it and my simple reason is this.....
(All the time I visit my MPV mechanic in Ikorodu I also see a lot of that model in their work shop.. I hardly see the 3.0l under same condition
3.0L V6 engine with 5 speed auto gear. (This is the only model I have used).. engine gear have always been fantastic for me.. I have used 4 of this models. Although I got mine 9ja used.. the most reason why I sell is if I get a very good offer on it....

Funnily.... I just saw one of my mpv buyer today that bought this.

https://www.nairaland.com/3332741/mazda-mpvs-03models-sale-sold.

Fuel consumption... Me I don't think it's is so bad ... Although the V6 will definitely consume more than the 4plug.... I don't think it bad at all... If you travel long distances you should do V6...
please, where is the Mazda mechanic work shop located at ikorodu

spark plugs play a primary role in the combustion cycle, a defective spark plug will cause dark smoke and poor fuel economy .






















But same with a defective

O2 sensor/s
Ignition coils
Fuel injectors
MAP
MAF
engine ecu


Proper diagnosis is key. If you don't trust your mechanic replace the mechanic or are you Igboro in the Airtel advert ?

Good evening all, I changed the complete shaft of my Honda DC. During test driving I noticed it was jerking while changing gears and it will jerk before getting into drive or reverse. 
I kept on changing gears while static and little by little the issue disappeared. 
Was the transmission system trying to calibrate itself with d new shaft? Is it normal for it to do that after changing a complete drive shaft?

Good morning, I just noticed the engine oil indicator on the dashboard doesnt come on and off as it should when i start the car. What could be the cause? Its an 05 corolla
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by sugaslim(m): 9:17am On Sep 27, 2019
Good morning Ogas in the house,please I need ur opinion on this:
2007 Rav4(4 plug) consumes more oil and it smokes,my meco advised I ringed it,which I did.
Have not used it for 3 months it’s has started smoking and consuming oil again, now my plugs don’t last up to one month again, after servicing, I add 1liter oil to it every week (I use Mobil xhp).
Can I ringed it again or I should just buy another engine(where can I get and wot is d price).
Oga Gazzu pls ur opinion is needed.

Thank you in advance.

Your dumfuck mechanic contaminated the valve body of your transmission because he was working in unsanitary conditions. You might be lucky to escape unhurt.
