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.

vincentjk:


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.

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:

Will it work? Also, can you recommend a reliable battery brand? Thanks in advance.

Chief Gazzuzz, my 07 Avalon's fuel consumption is on the high side, averaging around 12 - 14mpg most of the time. I fill up around 65litres every week. Dashboard clean, no error code on scanning. Car works fine in every other way and fuel consumption has been like that since I bought it.

A mechanic suggested that he can do a kind of work or tuning on the engine/car to reduce the fuel consumption and that it won't affect the car in any way, but I'm skeptical of going along with that lol.

Pls advise me. Thanks

Roughly how many miles do you cover in a week, and check if the car thermostat is in place. As small as it is(thermostat), it can make a world of difference in your mpg

9icetoo:

Trouble dey sleep, nyanga wan go wake am. Your car is alright. Your mpg is as expected. It's a v6 in a heavy car. If you want 22mpg, sell and buy a small 4 cylinder car.

BeardedTraveler:


LOL. Thanks, I no go wake trouble lol. Online sources show that the car should get around 20mpg city driving though, and someone I know gets better mpg too. I guess that's where my concern came from

9icetoo:

I am guessing by your your post that you drive in lagos. There is no way you drive in lagos and will meet the advertised mpg of your car. Not possible unless you drive only very early in the mornings and very late at night.
Our fuel is crap. You car is fine. To improve your mpg, reduce the amount of time you spend idling and enjoying ac, drive like a granny, carry fewer people or fewer loads, plan your journeys to avoid rush hours and traffic. All these na suffer head things but that's what you gotta do to improve your mpg.

obidevine:


Improve your MPG up to 2 percent by using the grade of oil recommended in your owner’s manual.

Chiefs, I noticed I would need to start my Pontiac torrent jeep twice nowadays before it come on. mostly, when I leave it unused for hours/days but this only happen during the first encounter, every other encounter during that day, the car doesn't have issue starting it. Please, what could be wrong, this issue started recently. Help ooo

GAZZUZZ:


100ah battery will not fit in your engine bay. Your vehicle was designed for 75ah

Since yesterday my car temperature goes slightly above middle and sometimes even goes to high when my AC is on and in in stagnant Traffic for a while. When I turn the AC off it comes back to the middle

Please gurus in the house kindly advice. My fans are working

Peppermintflav:

Trouble dey sleep you go wake am. Tell him to revert it back to how it was.

DdenslordD:


Most times you did a job on the engine which resulted in removing your coolant and filling the cooling system again can cause this. especially for V6 engines if the cooling system has air traps in the block this can happen so please first open the radiator and leave the car on for some minutes, fill the radiator, when the thermostat opens the level of the radiator will drop chase it with water and keep revving the car to about 2rpm. until you see no bubbles from the radiator. then try to drive and repeat it till the block is full this should solve the issue. if not then according to GAZZUZZ radiator is restricted

No be only restricted, e choke

GAZZUZZ:


No be only restricted, e choke

No they don't . If in doubt please call ducraft brakes on

Hello car experts,

Please what do we do about excessive fuel tank pressure for 07 LX470?

When we open the fuel cap After driving the car for more than 10 minutes, the build up pressure is much. When the car parked after driving it for a while, hissing/evaporation sounds can be heard and sometimes fumes can be seen.

We've tried driving around without the fuel cap screwed on but little improvement was seen.

Please any pointers on how to fix this?

Thank you very much.

obidevine:


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

Shanid:

Is it possible to increase it without changing the rim ,I'm not financially buoyant.

seanfer:


Please recheck the online data again. Avalon can’t be 20mpg in the city. That is what a 4 cylinder sedan was meant to drive and you can’t even get that in Naija with our type of fuel.

vincentjk:


Yes it is, I increased mine without changing neither tyres nor rims.

My mechanic adjusted the shock absorbers then called a welder to weld something there I think, but when he returned my car now has a good ground clearance.

I'm planning to change the Japanese exhaust he fixed for me because it didn't fit into the exhaust space well thereby occasionally hitting road bumps and stones on a bad road.

Shanid:
thank you sir , I will discuss with my mechanic
