Car Talk › Re: Would You Advise Me To Get A Nissan And Which One Please? by smartistics(m): 3:46am On Feb 02, 2022 |
It utterly saddens me to hear how people suffers using Nissan cars. First you need to understand is that Nissan is more electronically sophisticated than Toyota, whatsoever innovation Toyota has today, Nissan has used on their cars more than a decade ago. Nissan cars requires a highly skilled tech to fix an issue on not just any random mechanic and when it comes to engine performance, Toyota or Honda has no match with Nissan engines especially the legendry VQ35 Series. Is Murano problematic? No. It was half baked mechanics putting ATF into CVT and killed the transmission in a very short while. |

Mine happened late last year, I am still finding it difficult to believe that it could happen. It was Sunday evening, I was heading out when I saw a pastor with a white-collar, his wife and a man who later appears to be a roadside mechanic trying to fix his car. When coming back from my outing about two hours later, I still met them there confused and stranded, I approached the pastor if I can be of help and the mechanic rapidly replied me NO that I should go, truly I left for my house only for the pastor to trace my house some hours later asking if i come across his car key? No way! I didn't see and car key and perhaps your mechanic asked me to leave and I left without touching your car. I thought that was the end of the story, till next day evening after arrivimg from work, knocking at my door where two policemen and the pastor, came to arrest me.
I will be back... |

First check your brake fluid level, if it is up to normal then check the abs sensor the one malfunctioning. llade: Good Day, I observed that if am driving on smooth roads the ABS, 4WD, VDC lights dont show up on my 2008 Nissan Pathfinder V8 but when I drive over a bump or pot hole or turn by a junction when on low speed these lights come on and the vehicle stalls and practically does not move. To get the vehicle moving I will remove the battery terminals and wait for some seconds, put the terminals back before the pathy starts and moves. Like today I went to Keffi from Abuja and had to do like over 5 stops to do that. I scanned the vehicle and it threw up C1131 and C1163 codes. How do I resolve them please and have my pathy fixed. Am in Abuja. |

The oil pump in that engine HR hardly get spoil like you stated. Do you have low oil pressure warning light previously before the final damage? If no, then that wasn't the cause of the damage. Bad oil pump won't even damage them because they are immersed in the oil except you run the engine for long with little and low quality oil. In line of repair, tell the mechanic to check the oil gallery in the inner timing inner, if not sealing well then the oil won't supply to the cams and chain. IghKes: Please my car engine isn't starting.called my mechanic and electrician.electrician said the kick starter is okey.wen mechanic came ,he tried turning the engine manually.but it isn't turning.they said the metal and bearing is damage due to bad oil pump.pls how much those metal bearing cost.i leave in a remote capital city that is like village . getting anything here is filtrating.the car is infinity G35X 2007 model.i need it advice |

If Eeprom issue is your case, it requires advance level of auto transmission programmer to do that. Are you using the old valve body with the new transmission? lukmed3082: how will I do that pls? |
Car Talk › Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by smartistics(m): 11:44pm On Dec 18, 2020 |
The TCM eeprom need to be flash to work well with the new transmission. Replacing it might not solve the problem except you are lucky getting one that match. Check the TCM relay and fuse first for short. Sorry I don't understand why Nissan made that to be. lukmed3082: hello house please I need help on where I can get this item to my nissan sentra 2007..

Have you tried bringing out the pump and clean the gauge with only petrol and light tooth brush, when dirty at times it won't work with dirt on the surface. Also stop running the car with low level of fuel, It is the major cause of this or you need to clean your fuel tank. xpensivealex: Is ur vehicle nissan primera (Tiger face) too sir? If yes, how much do u get the guage |

Hope you got this fixed. If not you should be able to specify the type of noise. If it's a whinning noise as you turn the wheel, it is the pump, steering rack don't make noise when going bad. You can make a sharp turning to test the performance of your steering rack, the wheel should recenter but if stayed at the turning angle more than 5secs the rack is acting up then. Also remember to check for leaks bro. myhero: Pls house, any tike I turn my fx35 2006 model steering I always hear a noise from the engine area. Mechanic said I need to replace the steering pump and steering rack. Any idea on what it might cost me and also if actually the steering pump is the cause of the noise. |

Recent cars with V6 engines fuel injection are electronically configured with sensors parameters. If your car sensors are good enough then your driving habit is what you should check for better fuel consumption. V6 means more power |
Car Talk › Re: Why Are Most Nigerians Scared Of V6 Cars? Truth you must know by smartistics(m): 8:42pm On Oct 29, 2020 |
This is the best technical answer, rest are just not the real reasons. kunki90: Mostly because v6 are more cumbersome to repair than the i4s. The entire engine bay area is full with little to no space: this directly translates to high cost of repair for V6 engines. Consider a case of removing the spark plugs, for an i4 it ABC job but for a V6 to get where the plugs are is real work... |

If the top gaskets goes bad over time or probably due to overheating with coolant sipping into the combustion chamber, you will definitely have white smoke and high starting. Call a competent mechanic for inspection. |

Oga that is when the engine is excessively worn. Oil burning start from a point such as rings and valve oil seal.When you have catalyst still installed on your car, the oil oil will burn out before reaching the tail pipe and shows the blue smoke. adesanyadotun: But if its a bad engine that burns oil. It will be obvious that the exhaust tail will be black and oily and there will be bluish smoke. I think |

Do you have CAN failure code in your scans? starnuel: Hello House, I have an issue with my Infiniti fx35 2005. It is a tokunbo I bought in February thus year before the lockdown. Before the lockdown, it was working perfectly. When the lockdown started, I parked it but unfortunately the heavy rain at the period came in through the roof.
I air dried the car and started covering the car. After the lockdown, I wanted to ho out and realised that the wiper, the ac, the side mirrors stopped working at the same time.
There is nothing I have not done to get them working. Gone to different self proclaimed professionals, nothing. I went to First Gate Auto village, nothing. I went to ladipo and changed BCM and Fuse box different times, yet nothing. I have scanned and scanned. I have programmed and programmed. Nothing.
I am told it should be wiring fault. And i am very careful which rewired to give it to. So, that he will not destroy the car.

This very sad and unfortunately the police sector has been bastardised, a proper forensic investigation should be done also on the vehicle mechanism operation. This could be human error from the driver or mechanical failure from the side of the vehicle.
The Flybywire electronic throttle control equipped in some vehicles are prone to malfunction over time which can cause issues like this to the point of hitting and still climbing. That implies there was an angular force reacting to braking system of such car. |

Yes very possible. If you have a good pump and steering rack still okay, all you need to do is to turn the adjustment knob under the pinion to the softness that you want. It is not always the best for that kind of vehicle, FX is a high performance vehicle with larger wheel base compared to Corolla. Leave it soft as designed, when adjusted to be softer, you can turn the steering completely with a single finger, you won't like it on the FX. myhero: Hello mates, is there a way to make infiniti fx35 2006 model steering to be as light as Toyota corolla 2014 steering |
