ikdaddy01: When I'm in traffic for a while with the AC on. The AC tends to go off and warm air starts blowing from the AC vents, but when there is no traffic and the AC is on and i am on high speed, the AC stays blowing cool air. I don't understand what the cause could be |

ikdaddy01: When I'm in traffic for a while the AC shuts off and blows hot air. Yesterday being Sunday with less traffic I drove the car from Ajah to Ikeja on reasonable speed. The AC didn't shut off because I was driving fast but when I slow down it tends to shut off . It wasn't like that before. I think I will take it for diagnosis |

obidevine: Chk if ur AC compressor is making grinding noise when on, and change ur AC pressure switch, flush the system and vacuum then add New gas But still visit a reliable AC technician, I suspect ur AC compressor cycle on for to long without cycle off hence compressor overheating

yvy1: Your car problem needs a competent technician to take time in diagnosis of it,then repair it. Where is the car located? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:29am On Mar 15, 2021 |
obidevine: Air-conditioning. In most cases technicians refill refrigerant blindly. An overfill will cause excessive pressure on the high side which in turn will cause the system to shutdown to protect its self from further damage. One of the reasons why it is noticeable in traffic is the static nature of air around the condenser. Gasses expand when hot and there is a higher buildup when static and worse on a hot day. Just for scientific purposes, reduce the amount of refrigerant in your system a bit or find a technician with a gauge that can read the high side values. (It should not exceed 200psi) 3 Likes |

Slickleo: All unnecessary. Just hook up pressure gauges with the AC running and all will be revealed . |

Oga I hail. Please I need to replace my car battery. My current battery is 75ah, but I'm thinking of replacing it with a 100ah battery because my car is a Toyota Highlander 2004. I'm looking at something like this: [img]https://images./66Os05nG92jGWpIIAZOBw2.jpg[/img] Will it work? Also, can you recommend a reliable battery brand? Thanks in advance. GAZZUZZ: |

Good day guys, please guys, is there any timeframe for one to refill or top up car Air Conditioner gas irrespective of perfomance? I have been using mine for about one year running now, and it's the one that came with the car as I am yet to top up the gas or anything, although, I feel my other car that I topped up seems to 'chill' more than this one. |

Shanid: One man living close to me bought this camry (maybe 04) with large rims and tyres with raised shock absorbers. Car has a very good ground clearance and looks bigger and very fine, haven't seen a finer big daddy than his all my life ![]() All thanks to the rims and tyres alone. 1 Like |

Hello Guys, I am thinking of changing my 2005 Corolla tyres from 195/65 r15 to 205/70 r15 or 195/70r15 or 215/65 r16 m The aim is mainly to achieve a higher ground clearance. Is this recommended or is there a better alternative? and is it safe . Please. Current tires are bad. Thanks for the response |

Tunesh: Smaller wheel wells, Corolla no be SUV. Very big tyres won't allow you turn properly àbí make e kuku commot your front bumper. 205/65/15 or 205/60/16 to be safe. |
