Googlemechanic: The advantage of not having the cell on in the first place is you know there are no pending issues.
With the cell permanently on how do you know when another issue pops up? I think we all know this, which is why we do not recommend blacking out CEL lights. The tongue in cheek response given to our dear gentleman sirleke is with the knowledge he has a scanner and can read his codes regularly to see if any new codes pop up while he saves for a new cat. It makes NO financial sense for him to buy a spacer simply to clear a code (which by the way is not guaranteed with a spacer in all cars)  Also, the spacer is marketed on NL as a CURE for catalytic converter problems, which it isn't. It was created to literally be an "out of sight out of mind" tool to pass state emissions tests. NL users will not know that until the situation becomes really bad and the car develops major issues. IT DOES NOT CURE CATALYTIC CONVERTER PROBLEMS. You still have to save towards buying a replacement cat. So why spend the money when you can achieve the same by simply continuing to drive? |

Googlemechanic: Clearing out the contents of the catalytic converter and installing a spacer is a cheaper option .
Current cost of a brand new catalytic converter for this vehicle at current dollar rate will exceed ₦200,000.
Taking out the bulb is irresponsible. Did I say it was responsible?  Thank you " Googlemechanic" for adding a previously missing caveat but problem still remains like welding a straight pipe  My point is simply to drive like that while saving money for a replacement. There is no benefit to the spacer except turning the CEL off. |

sirleke: P0420: catalyst system threshold bank 1 catalyst system efficiency below threshold bank 1
P0506: idle air control system RPM lower than expected....
Got the codes on my car...
Some1 should help out.
Thanks Catalytic converter and have you tried cleaning your throttle body? I do not recommend using a spacer because while it tricks the computer into turning off the light, over time the catalytic converter is still clogging up and the problem remains. Eventually you will lose power and fuel consumption will go up. Better to ride it like that without using the spacer IMO. It's a lot easier and cheaper to take the bulb out if the light is worrying you  |

ksmart027: First moniker L for claiming to have affliation with carquest, which you are reluctant to sell to him because the filter looks fake and dont want your name tainted. Second moniker I think the second is claiming you sell clone or fake spare parts. Third moniker D for selling carquest oil usa on black markrt without a license and threatening to sell whatever price he wants. WE. HAVE. A. WINNER!!
I do not take kindly to our integrity or quality being compromised and that's when I go so far as wanting to bring lawyers in. Anything else is catching cruise 
Congratulations and welcome to "NASCAR", you really are k-SMART-027!! Do the necessary to claim your scanner 
Psst.. Ksmart027, were you there for the violence or you just searched?

abbeywasc: Good morning,
I have a CRV 08 with AC issues. Issue started after repair damages caused by a front impact. The mechanic told me his boys cut a hose or something. The AC man fixed the cut(he said he did). AC work a week and started blowing hot. I've called about three other guys now and the evaporator and filter have been changed yet the gas keeps leaking. One used soap and water to check and found nothing. The AC works well for around a week after refill then nothing. I got a new guy who is asking to repair the condenser and refill for 15k. I'm tired of just wasting my cash. NB: the ambient temperature no longer shows after the impact. Dont know if it has effect.
Thanks @radautoworks @mosbus Ambient temperature has no effect. Pretty sure the compressor is fine if it works well for a week after each refill. Considering it's an impact, don't just search the condenser, search the lines. If they have ac dye, use that. Advantage is it will find multiple leaks at once instead of find and fix, find and fix. Easiest route. |

coker007: The third moniker I know one was for covid 19 and the trump administration
The second moniker was for defamation of your name and company (he was trying to spoil your market)
The first moniker was for his cluelessness (if there's a word like it) on how workshops like yours are being organized or run (not so sure of this one though)
P.S i didn't mention the monikers for two reasons i didn't want unnecessary attention and trouble Second you didn't say we should

CHALLENGE 7 For challenge 7 I thought we would focus on something NL is notorious for BEEF! This challenge gives the oldies who's have been here since the birth of this moniker an advantage.
It's no secret I've been involved in a "couple " of spats over the years but it's not often I threaten litigation and it's typically over one of two issues.
Today's challenge: What did each of the three monikers do to push me that far?
HINT: first was in the second quarter of 2018, the second was fourth quarter 2019 and the third was second quarter 2020.
That's it. Simple challenge. For obvious reasons the three monikers cannot win a scanner lol.
Winner gets a KW301 scanner. GOOD LUCK and everyone on NL CALM DOWN!

calabardick: You don't call that experience sir, that's failure, as a result of inability to plan ahead. Lots of Nigerians go into business just because they hear its profitable, without proper feasibility study. They are carried by the returns.
- If Sienna isn't profitable why do we still have thousands out there on the road? - Why did I conduct the research? I have many questions for you to proof your claims, but it's needless.
Just like the ehauling business, lots of fleet companies are off the radar, but that same business, there is someone that's making in it with many cars because he has deep understanding of the business.
Until you have a unique SWOT analysis , don't venture into that business. |

theoilguy: Well, most customers would not do 20k miles with this extended performance oils.. 10k or 1 year is usually what I suggest. Most just do 6 months which I think is fair. true but still need an extended filter for that. All I'm saying is include a disclaimer before someone starts saying your oil destroyed their car  |

theoilguy: Fram USA filters available but not extended performance filters.. They are expensive and most customers won’t buy them.. that’s the issue we face daily. then customers need to know they need 4 oil filters in the span of a 20,000 mile oil change. A typical filter is rated for 3-5000 miles and costs N1,700-N3000 depending on the car. By contrast a 10,000 mile filters are less than N5k and 20,000 mile filters are N7k-10k. That's a lot cheaper than using a regular filter with extended mileage oil risking a blown motor IMO. |
