[quote author=oluwaseunla post=93705913] May be wheel bearings if the noise increases on a smooth road. Take it into a good workshop for proper diagnosis. For the VTM, run a scan.[thanks so much my boss, the wheel bearing okay I will check that out.] |

Is there any place in lagos where they specialize in fixing Nissan vehicles only? My Nissan pathfinder has leg issues. It makes noise anytime am driving in rough road. So many mechanics has worked on it but the problem still persist. Someone should help with a link pls. Thanks |

akinjare: There’s nothing peculiar about Nissan vehicles that make them impossible to fix. Why don’t you start by stating the repairs you’ve done so far. |

Hi, how were you able to solve this- have got the same issue with my camry; contemplating which to change, battery or alternator megacontrol: |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by megacontrol(m): 11:48am On Sep 13, 2020 |
I took the vehicle for electrical fault diagnosis and the alternator was reported to be faulty. It wasn't completely dead but was said to be slowly or partially charging and discharging (hence the battery drain). The interesting thing is just by the technician fiddling with the alternator during the checks (disconnect - test - reconnect) the vehicle worked fine without that issue again for some weks. This gave me time to plan for the outright replacement. It repeated again after about 2 weeks, then i replaced the alternator. No issues again since then. kunki90: |

kunki90: Check the battery terminals and make sure they are tightly connected. Had similar problem and it was the battery terminals. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by kunki90(m): 7:26pm On Sep 13, 2020 |
madgoat: Made those checks already; definitely not the terminals. I even swapped in another healthy battery and it ran dead after three days; obviously alternator is not charging the battery. Also noticed my interior lights flicker at times. megacontrol: Thanks, I will try scanning the vehicle again and change the alternator. Any idea of alternator price for camry 05? |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by proclinician: 11:03am On Sep 15, 2020 |
isinite4me: Dysfunctional catalytic converters do not cause any damage to your engines. It's simply a system used to protect the environment from harmful emissions. Most times the combustion of fuel in the engine produces harmful gases and causes pollution to the atmosphere. The catalytic converters contains some elements like platinium, rhodium blah blah blah about three if them and these are catalysts that stay at the exhaust region. When these pollutant gases like the killer carbon monoxide get to the exhaust region, these catalysts convert it to less poisonous carbon dioxide through some redox reactions that occur at the catalytic converter before discharging into the atmosphere. This implies without catalytic converters, your exhaust system eject carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. It does not harm your engine in any way. 4 Likes |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by oluwaseunla(m): 11:33am On Sep 15, 2020 |
proclinician: When dysfunctional catalytic converters break down and block the exhaust system, it can cause irreparable damage to your engine sir. This is due to the inability of the system to expel exhaust gases as at when due. A blocked exhaust can result in engine damage. 3 Likes |

Boss what's your take on engine decarbonization? I've been seeing some hot takes on how it can help engine run smoother and improve fuel economy. The folk doing this use a machine of sort, is it a good way to go? I'm perfectly fine with my car though, just curious
