But on a serious note, isn't it possible to have a universal compressor just like adaptors that have range, so no OEM has compressor like that?
Nope

The oracle is a wise man.. Only the wise ones can relate to the true meaning of that statement grin grin grin
Before one NL clown will say he advised you to convert to manual..

But on a serious note sha... If I was you I would have installed the manual compressor tey tey.. Engine is a V6, it can handle the extra load, that same engine was probably used in other cars with FDC..

NB I am not advising you to replace a VDC with FDC grin grin

Your last life line is Radautoworks, but compressor are pretty pricy generally. she should be able to get one since the ES is a US model
Why do you do this? I'll most likely have it in stock but you know if they are considering manual they are not going to like the price grin

Even brand new engines that have gone through hours of rigorous testing have turned out to be defective. It's a used one that can't have issues?

Besides, if that engine has a zero probability of being defective was you would have us believe, it won't have a return policy. If it has a return policy, then there's a probability of failure no matter how small it is.

So I ask again, who bears the cost of logistics and shipping IF the engine turns out to be defective.
Whatever you say, you are right cool

That is what I was told by the mechanic, he opened the bonnet,asked one of his boys to start the car and he observed for a while. He then concluded it' s nothing much to worry about,that it's engine seat.

Who bears the cost of logistics and shipping if the engine turns out to be defective? I'm looking at two separate shipping costs. The cost of returning the defective engine plus the cost of sending another unit.
You missed my point. The engine is pretty much guaranteed to be good. No return needed.

Worse advice,it is easier and cheaper to buy that engine in trinity or ladipo ,except you are a parts seller.
Please explain how it's cheaper when she is shipping a car, yards over there sell TESTED motors with return policies and the ones you get in Ladipo are the rejects that don't pass testing overseas?

how much will it cost me to rebuilt the engine?
Since you are importing the car, kuku import an engine as well. If you end up not needing it you will get good money for it.

I contacted some parts sellers and have not gotten back to me yet. Do you have an idea on the cost of the engine?
Please don't tell me you're the one bought the car! Is something seems too good to be true it usually is. If you're lucky it's just valve seals. If not, that car needs it's engine rebuilt or a new engine. Why would you buy it without responses to your question? If you want to get into buying and selling cars be prepared to partner with a mechanic who can actually go check the cars and give you an estimate BEFORE buying it.

I can't give you an engine price because we don't sell engines we rebuild.

Your car shorting oil and smoking means the oil is sipping out from your rings and/or seals, so using a lighter oil now would only worsen the already bad situation. And 5w30 oil are much more expensive than the conventional motor oil.

See https://www.firestonecompleteautocare.com/maintain/oil/types/
This statement is incorrect. There is 5w30 conventional oil

my money has been more on a CAN fault. haven read this i am more convinced this is most likely a short in wiring or communication fault.
Peejaygold09... just get yourself a very good electrical technician to diagnose this fault.
That's what I said... Without seeing it for the other codes bad fuse or short.

Thanks.
I however noticed something yesterday morning and this morning that driving from sangotedo was problematic (switching gears at every stop) but the problem seems to go away from around jakande. I drove to lekki and back to chevron yesterday morning without any drop. Today, I'm sure it was from around Chisco that I drove all the way to oyingbo wothout any drop.
This looks like its transmission temperature sensitive. What do you think sir?
To things.
1) scan car again using a different scanner. If it's temperature related it should throw codes
2) drain and refill fluid

Good evening guys, I recently got my vehicle scanned and I got these codes
P3400
P0420
P0430

Vehicle is Honda Accord V6 2008
The good news, check your engine oil. That should take care of the first one.

The bad news, you need new catalytic converters. Let us hold hands and mourn because they are not cheap.

hello do u guys work on Toyota vehicle? My car is throwing up engine code p0300 multiple misfire. I changed the spark plug fuel pump and filter. But still same problem
Yes we do. What kind of parts did you buy and what year and model exactly do you have? Faster option just bring it into the shop.
