Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by arcbaba: 9:02pm On Aug 31, 2020 |
Hello gurus. My corrolla 2005 temperature rises above the half mark when driving on Ac on a long drive, I was advised on this forum to replace the radiator if it has been running on water for more than 2years. So my question is should I buy a double cell rediator or single cell? Can I now use coolant in the new radiator instead of water? I need answers so I can budget appropriately. Thanks |

thebigkendo: First car syndrome After I spent almost 350k fixing every problem that doesn't affect performance on a 2007 camry se back then. Kazeem's build aso rock ontop my head Nobody tell me before I reset myself to factory settings. Melting dashboard,I didn't want leather on top,I had to order for a fresh new one from ladipo N150k. Small noise from front left suspension,apo kazeem made me change all 4 shocks and linkage and some bushing,the kazeem installed a 2004 camry shocks for my 07 camry se without my knowledge and kept all my follow come shocks which he sold to a customer after. After shocks where installed,car come get k-leg for all 4 tyres I did wheel balancing tire to solve that issue,yet no solution. Small engine vibration,all mounts changed because I want car to dey idle like mew lol. Ac cooling no reach me,I changed compressor Now I no get time for ebamisofun,if e no affect performance,biko I no get money to waste 16 Likes |

thebigkendo: dannybrasky: So spending money to fix a car with both cats blocked, that is experiencing some hesitation to accelerate is now spending money on problems which do not affect performance? I am the one who scanned that car, that car in its state when I scanned it was hesitating to accelerate. Exhaust has rattling sounds which indicates catalytic converter broken and blocking the exhaust system. I am not gonna talk about the camshaft sensor bank 2 malfunction. I know what I observed when I diagnosed that car. |

isinite4me: You came to give a report, but didn't give the report as I informed you after running scan and test driving you car, thus making folks here feel I am trying to make you spend needless cash. This isn't nice cos its a taint to my reputation. |

kingreign: Oga boss you are talking based on what you scanned.. Iyam talking based on what the owner said You know your job.. Owner knows his car too I am sure if good tech drives my car now.. He will surely observe so many issues i am used to or overlooking as nothing, some I ignored on purpose self As long as car starts one time, MPG is fair & no SERIOUS suspension sound..

Una matter tire me for this thread. No lie, though. Unless it's something that affects drivability and ease of life, there's no point fixing it immediately. 1 Like |
