Dear GAZZUZZ, I have 2004 Avalon that I believe consumes fuel abnormally. The best I get when traveling is 17mpg, and 14 to 15.5 within city, from dashboard readings.
The car had issue with thermostat sometimes ago and the "rewire man" bypass the thermostat by connecting the fans directly with a relay.
Also, the radiator has been changed to double cell (an advice from my mecho).
There is 'Check engine' with VSC lights on. The car constantly gives error code P0135, even before the radiator was changed.
Many thanks.

GAZZUZZ:


Engine operating temperature, and engine emissions, pay a vital role in basic fuel economy.

The mechanical thermostat is there to restrict the flow of coolant until engine temp reaches required state. The electrical fans are controlled by the engine ecu to start functioning only when the operating temp has reached threshold and stop running at a predetermined temp.

The oxygen sensors are there to monitor exhaust gasses so that the engine ecu can tweak the injector pulses, vary the timing patterns, and switch the egr settings.

All these have to happen to get optimal fuel economy.

In answering your question I will have to also be practical .

If you have been running your engine on water for a long time, there is a high probability that the Aluminum water channels and joints and thermostat housings and water pump might be corroded . Removing thermostat and placing fans directly reduces the pressure within the coolant system which makes it less prone to leaks from corroded areas.

My advise would be to inspect the coolant system , before restoring connections and thermostat. Replace the radiator with a brand new unit, replace the faulty oxygen sensor.

All should be fine after that.

You currently have a drivable car, if you cannot do the restoration by the book, do not start, because it might leave you with a damaged engine and an undrivable car.

GAZZUZZ:


Replace O2 sensor under the car.

(Up for 4cylinder, down for V6)

Return thermostat. Ignore 606 code

Abeg I need your rescue..
I use a Toyota 08/09...the back Tyre of the passenger side(ie right Tyre at the back) keeps on getting flat, every now and always.. Like it's the only tyre


I went to mechanic they said one side of the was swollen, that I need to check the alignment.. Went to check up place, though they didn't use machine, the guy there on inspection of the tyre said its balanced that there's nothing wrong with the alignment..

Another mechanic said the issue is the beam I need to change that.. Roughly 100k..me am confused.. I don't want to spend money on what isn't a problem and create more problems.. Since everyone seems to be guessing..

The tyre warning light has always been on in the car,since I bought it. The car seller said it was an electrical fault (when I bought it 2 years ago)

What's your professional opinion please

GAZZUZZ:


Not my thing . Some like it sha

Well done for the job you are doing.

Please assist...i was driving and my BMW suddenly shows transmission light on the dashboard. I noticed I couldn't accelerate again. I had to park and left it. Got back to it and we took, still selects gear well only the acceleration, it to a mechanic workshop. He checked the transmission fluid guage. He uncelotape the flow meter where rat ate the wire. The light didn't show again. He drove it round and I drove it too.

Took the car from work to go home, after buying fuel, the light came on and I had to just slow home...

Please advise.

Hello Oga GAZZUZZ and all the elders.

For someone who wants to purchase a registered 2015 Hyundai Accent, what should the person look out for?

Any heads-up regarding cost of engine, gear, and general maintenance?

Thank you.

GAZZUZZ:

dammiedot:


yes pls, camera is mounted. The connection from the camera to the infotaninment system is good from several test. but the lanewatch would not come up when activated.

GAZZUZZ:


9/10 times it is a lemon.

Is this car an American spec, if yes, was its VIN checked and what's the VIN title?

If na Dubai or Nigerian brand new, we will come to that later.

dammiedot:


Yes it is an American spec, what do you mean by the VIN been checked? Can you assit with checking this?

kingreign:

I could do that, but then, when you got it, was it having that malfunction or it recently started?
