Somebody should please advice me, I took my company mechanic to buy a car Hyundai Accent 06/07 model but to my surprise after the mechanic confirm the car is good on my way driving the car home I noticed little smoke coming out and I quickly call the seller but he said because It’s overdue for service that’s why that immediately I service it will stop but I have done the service and haven’t noticed the smoke but just been afraid, please advice on what to do and besides there a little noise from the front wheel, please what might be the cause. Thank you

what do you mean by this? Is it that you can’t go above 120km/hr as top speed? I am curious and learning please.
I can actually go above 120km but the rpm will be higher. Infact, very close to red lines.

boss kindly recommend, vw golf 3 I changed radiator but the new one came with no pin to plug the wire, any issues to expect? 2 when the car is run in hot temperature for a while, car idling drops but doesn't go off, when moving to higher gear it experiences shotdown then continues, kindly recommend, thank you.
I think you bought the wrong radiator, plus what happened to your old radiator fan motor??

Hi car experts, please I need your help.

I helped my mom get a toyota camry recently, it's her first car. The car was confirmed okay by yhe mechanic i took and we took it for test drive.
The car was performing fine until one particular day when she was going to work. she called me that the car was dragging. Went and check, it felt like something was holding the two tires behind from moving, like a drag. Took it to mechanic and they checked the four wheels and they said there was no ish. Someone said it was the hand break but I later discovered that it wasnt the hand break causing it. It doesn't do it every time, like once in five times when it's on motion. The hind tires just start dragging. Thanks for your valuable input

I think it most probably the hand break. It could be malfunctioning, have someone remove it completely, check and fix it back.
I use camry, I only experience when ever I forget to return my hand break... Good luck

Scan that car's transmission. I feel it has a transmission failure. But scan and post codes then tag us. We will respond accordingly.

Cheers!
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by Danielkupiejo: 12:44pm On Dec 29, 2020

Re: Car Talk Chat Room by Ochima75(m): 12:48am On Jan 02, 2021
2003 honda accord delays to move when engaged in "D". Even when it finally moves it disengages on motion, i have to rev the car high before it picks up again, and it doesn't switch to gear 2. I have replaced gear oil & filter due to this, still no change. I cleaned out the "solenoid sensor" beside the gearbox and samething still happens. Anytime it delays in moving when i shift to D the green light near D starts blinking with check engine light. I scanned and it showed "shift solenoid A valve stuck open" sometimes it's "shift solenoid B valve stuck opened". It just dangles between both

I met several gear mechanics,they tell me the gearbox is gone,i should go get another gearbox or rebuild the one on it, even without scanning. I personally don't feel it's true and from research i have been making, some people still experience such even after replacing the gearbox.

Please anyone who had experienced this before and how did you get it resolved because car has been resting since before Christmas.
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by DoctorG: 7:21pm On Jan 02, 2021
Happy New Year fellas!!!

Need help please. My car hardstarts in the mornings. I changed the kickstarter, then it got worse: it began to hardstart everytime you start the car.

Then i changed the cold start switch. It didn't get any better: it would hardstart at random and behave normal at random.

Then i changed the fuel pump and filter, then it went back to the origin problem: hardstating only in the mornings.

Car has been scanned. No faults relating to this. Something else i know already: gear mount.

Please i need help

Lexus IS said to produce the most reliable luxury cars for the cast majority globally but does this also apply to their flagship SUV? Does it really live up to its expectations in terms of power and luxury?
