I went there. They said its a leak and worked on it. Two weeks later,Same problem. The AC does not chill or work when it's really hot.

Pls can u recommend a tested and trusted Kia AC tech? Am tired cuz I have change radiator, condenser , still after two weeks the problem starts

Hello, did you bring it back for your 10 day leak check as advised? All AC jobs are advised to come back in 10 days for us to see if your system is holding up to the new pressure.

Also, what did we do on it? I don't see and radiator or condenser job in our system on a Kia. You DO have a warranty. All you had to do was call us and we haven't heard from you.

Chelseafan1:
Yeah, Mobil 1, 0w40 viscosity

Wasn't ignoring you. Nairaland bot decided I talk too much and has been banning me every time I try to respond lol. I've been getting one response a day if that. Funny thing is they didn't do that when I was in beast mode last year SMH

Same in America

Happy Sunday everyone.

Please I want to know what will make the bolts holding the compressor to always break off. This is the second time this is happening in 2 months.
The car is a 2006 Corolla.

Thanks.

Make sure they are putting lock washers on and they are tight because if they are loose they will back out from vibrations and break.

And there it is lol. I knew the mobil 1 shiel wasn't far behind. Lol. I don't blame you. Sell what you've got LMAO. Back to 4llerbuntu, buy 5w30 in any good brand and you'll be fine. If your car is high mileage, you could also get a high mileage formula (not the same thing as extended mileage)

GAZZUZZ:
you should use 5w30. Please do not use 5w20.

If he's going to step up because of abuse and age might as well go 10w30.

Niiade:
I swear

See me scrolling back to look for his comments

SonOFaGun:
What type of oil do you recommend , I heard Mobil 1 oils sold in gas stations are substandard ...

Gazzuzz sells it if you're determined to get Mobil 1 but what's more important than it being Mobil 1 is it being 5w20

SonOFaGun:
Morning the great vehicle messiah. Been reading a lot about you , now I also have a reason to call you , My 2007 corolla needs your touch , although I just got it for toks early December , so I when I came back to drive it , the whole brakes Were sticky n making sounds , had go change them. Now the linkages have started sounding "prokopokro" . And I have phobia for leg pulls , please how can I get in touch with you in person ? The kazeem that serviced it for insisted I use Mobil 20w-50 cos of the high mileage (is that correct )

NO

nwanneni:
you are a very wise man.
150k and synthetic oil(mobil 1) of like 30k,filter 3k and labour+transport 25000.
So 210k will do.
Spend good money and rest.no ever rebuild any engine ,it's not worth it

We beg to differ. We have beaten this debate to death before on this forum

kaz4sure2015:
Good afternoon

Please can someone recommend a good car ac technicians based in Lagos

I have a lexus es350 having ac issues

Us. Second toll gate Lekki

4llerbuntu:
Thanks

But which Castrol exactly?

I know its 5W30 but which variant? Edge, Magnatec ?

I'm just trying to get all my facts in place.

Thanks

Dude. Dru, oil and stalking me is a long story on Nairaland You're fine with the oil I gave you. It boils down to conventional vs. synthetic. Edge,. Etc are just variants. Use a synthetic 5w30 with dexos. Castrol is not the "recommended" oil. Synthetic 5w30 is. If we want Castrol, we carry Castrol but that's what we put in our personal cars I recommended to you. If your car is high mileage (100,000 miles or more) you can choose a formula for high mileage but you don't NEED to. Synthetic 5w30.

Hi!I remember thanks! Making us blush.

dru23:
For volvo the recommended engine oil brand is Castrol.. Better to always stick to what the manufacture recommends .. How do I know this #FACTS ONLY# I have an 07 xc90 landing this week. Below are pictures and car title.. Before somebody will come and say am I no dey talk truth ..

I give you props for not saying mobile one

dru23:
Like I said before, the only picture I have of 5w30 mobil 1 oil happens to have a filter on it .. I was not implying that the filter with the 5w30 is for his car .. After all I posted another filter that was ordered for a lexus 2013 ..

That specific post did imply that but now you have been clearer people understand.

[quote author=dru23 post=75975895][/quote]That's not the filter you were posting

dru23:
Lol .... Funny guy that you are ..just because a few of them had issues with oil burn now means that all of them issues.. We live in two different world bro .. Before I take advice from you or anybody else from forum.. I will rather cut my wrist .. I dey Yankee bro a Nissan dealership is about 20 minutes away from me .. I will rather talk to them about the G35 issues than a person from a third world country... the issues u have with them are self conflicted. Nissan can't risk having issues with $40k car.. It is minor issues that dealership would have resolved.. Make I waka pass as you said .. Me I dey Yankee, if I need any more information, I will drive rite to the dealership to make enquiries, which of course u can't do .. $40k car will be having oil burn and Nissan will let the poo ride like.. Lol

Dude. Is this your first trip abroad because you won't let us rest! All your posts "I dey Yankee". Some of us live in multiple countries at once and we don't feel the need to scream every other sentence SMH. What does "I dey Yankee" have to do with this conversation? Yes, factory is 5w so stick to that.

Do you have this hose?

https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/carquest-by-dayco-curved-radiator-hose-e70607/10063272-P


I noticed a similar hose from my radiator looking warped and melted.

I'm afraid it could burst at anytime

Oga read the Manuel well or oil. Cap .. It is 5w30 and I have oil filter that will last 15k miles

HM4967 IS NOT AN EXTENDED MILEAGE FILTER. IT IS ONLY GOOD FOR 3000-5000 MILES. USE THAT WITH EXTENDED OIL AND YOU WILL MESS UP YOUR CAR.

lollyboy:

kayb2gx:
Hi radautoworks , I just scanned my car and got these codes:

P1734, P0780, P0756

I had no prior hard shift nor gear slip till this morning and it got worse within 10 minutes. Had to restart the engine before the gear could engage again. So I decided to scan it and voila, three codes from hell!

The gear was serviced two years ago with dw1 and still within the gauge limit, no burnt smell, and still pink/wine in color.

Can this be repaired, what are my options and how much am I likely spend on fixing this?

Honda Accord, '03, i4

Many thanks!

Would have to see the car. With those three codes would have to check a few things in person.
