I seems like it will require a professional to look at it on site.

I have a plan of getting another engine for the car. So, I'm thinking of buying a different one entirely to avoid the same issue.

We changed the brake system and everything has been back to normal. Many thanks.
One other thing I noticed is that anytime I start the car in the morning, it is accompanied with a cranky sound after turning the ignition. On some mornings, I don't hear that sound but I do most mornings and later in the evening.

Last month I asked a mechanic to check and he said that noise might be due to a plugged filter which he removed and checked and was ok. He said the noise should stop after but it hasn't. Please help me with solutions.

Also what's the solution to a Tyre pressure signed that has been on since the day I removed that back Tyre to fix the first issue I mentioned here.
Thanks once again
Gazuzz:
then I was wrong. Try and inspect brake system

VTC actuator . Ignore it or spend about 100k new parts or about 50k used parts
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by debeey87(m): 7:20am On Oct 13, 2019
Thanks boss. What's the implication of driving with the current one?

The noise you hear at cold start.

It is not life threatening.

Oga Gazzuzz, good day sir. Please, what is your general assessment of the 2008 Ford Escape viz; fuel economy, maintenance and general issues? Is it a good MiniSUV for Nigerian condition? Thank you sir.

Good morning Great Minds

Oga Gazzuz And Every other Pros I Greet

Please there is this Nissan Altima 2006 that my uncle imported for resale but he has been using it for some time but now the Car doesn't sound accurate ND sometimes takes long to start so it was scanned me and they said fuel pump but he has changed the fuel pump before so the Man said it's the sensor or something and said two cost #30,000 that that's always the issue with that Car which I want to confirm

Coz my uncle wants to be sure that the sensor will actually fix the issue before agreeing to do that.... Don't know if anyone is familiar with that Car ND the issue

Tell your uncle to replace the crank and camshaft sensors with brand new original parts if he wants to remain sane.
