greenhulk: Some people can't just drive for long no matter how much chin chin they eat. Just like some people will fall asleep within 5 mins if getting into a car as a passenger. I would ask op not to force it to avoid stories that touch. Or drink a lot of coffee (not those diluted 3 in 1 o... I mean real coffee). If that still doesn't work then he should just avoid driving long distance. That's true. |

If he wanted to snatch the car, he'll try opening the door before knocking the window, it's when unable to open that he'll call for your attention so you wind down the window in order to hear him, only for him to put his hand in and unlock the door. I guess he saw something (probably a phone) which he wanted to pick in the center console... |

kingreign: Problem is, how many will buy that thousand others for its build purpose other than to do mall crawling, neighbourhood strolls et al? That is not the problem of the manufacturer though  Manufacturer's problem is for the cars to leave the showrooms without coming back due to recall issues. |

2shure: I greet u. Honds crv compressor gpt bad. My ac man changed it to tokunbo manual ac compressor And also new condenser. After every. I went home Following day Engine feels heavy and i can fe vibrations. Then while in motion Car battery dies and engine turns off. I am very worried. What can be the problem. Why is there so much vibration. Or is it that the compressor is bad or not fit for d 2008 crv. Some are saying its rewire ishhhh. Pls epp me Compressor and condenser were replaced. Now you feel vibrations while driving and battery charge is low. For how long have you been using the car without AC? How old is the battery? Is check engine light on? Is the battery light on while vehicle engine is working? I have to see vehicle to run a proper scan and diagnosis. You may have engine performance issues and a dying battery or your rewire might have disconnected the alternator in error of a dead alternator too. |

Nuges11: Hello auto gurus, I would like to seek your expert opinion on these 2 issues I have with my Toyota camry 2003:
1. I observed recently that the car jerks whenever the gear is engaged and I completely press the brake pedal or when I slow down to a stop during motion. The jerking continues as long as I have my leg on the brake pedal but stops when I put the gear in Park. Some times the engine will go off after jerking for a while.
2. I checked my engine oil this morning and discovered it's almost halfway between full and empty. I serviced the car about 2 months ago and since then I've done about 1000km. What could make engine oil reduce without leakage?
Thanks 1. Is the check engine light on? You need a scan and diagnosis to confirm the exact cause of the problem. 2. Oil shortage could be due to oil burning up in the combustion chamber. Please, always carry some oil in your booth to top with until you can provide a solution. |
Car Talk › Re: Coolant Reservoir Overflows by timifakay(m): 9:57pm On Sep 18, 2017 |
gbolly707: Good day.
Car is a a 2000 toyota Camry, I drove with the thermostat stuck open for more than a year. I changed the thermostat less than a month ago and I bled the system and filled with total coolant. I noticed that the coolant overflows from the coolant reservoir, I saw the mark on the container. Should I be worried , could be a case of system overfill or a more serious underlying issue.
Thank you Have you replaced the radiator cap? |

Your pictures are 2 identical cars bearing 2 different logos, and none of them bears 2 logos in one car. www.nairaland.com/attachments/5976044_img20170907wa0011_jpegb5ae0dfec028fcdac10e7f4318a35a8a Look at the above pic, engine cover has Acura logo, front grille has Honda logo. |
Car Talk › Re: Let discus overheating And general radiator cooling system ! by timifakay(m): 8:26pm On Sep 17, 2017 |
holocron: Don't you think the 2 bolded sentences contradict each other? Your 2nd assertion rhymes with what we are saying. The engine takes a shorter time (than in colder climes) to attain operating temperature (88°C for the toyota sequoia V8). Without thermostat, the water constantly coming in from the radiator is about 50°C - 60°C, gets to the engine and rapidly rises to 88 degrees before moving on to the radiator. On the average, cars operate within the 88°c to 97°c temperature range. This means that at start up when cold, the thermostat is shut till vehicle reaches 88°c. This ensures the coolant temperature rises rapidly. Then the fan only works when the upper temperature range of 97°c is attained and it goes off when temperature drops to lower operating limit of 88°c. But when the thermostat is out and fan works at all times, the temperature takes longer to rise to minimum limit and never attains maximum limit. |

From time immemorial, lots of atrocities are committed with taxis. Right now, 99% of taxis in ibadan are Nissan Micra, which automatically makes it what the evil men will use for their evil doings. The size of Micra and cheap cost of maintenance has allowed the lawless drivers to afford more recklessness. They can make over 2k profit within 6 hours.
