DrCassidy:
Good morning. Please help!
I drive a VW Golf 4, 2.0 engine, 2004 model.
Recently, I noticed the car did not fire well, I took it to my mechanic, who scanned it and told me it was a gear transmission problem, specifically the solenoid. That I was driving only on gear 3.
The mechanic claimed he ordered a "Belgium" solenoid with its body valves. After replacing the solenoid on my body valves and the car scanned, it was noticed the transmission was jerky on gear selection and subsequently went into a leap mood (steady on gear 3).
Now, my mechanic feels it's no longer the solenoid issue but that my gear fibres are faulty, hence not having a good connection with the "changed" selenoid.
Please, Car talk, kindly help me!
Thank you.

Hello my Chiefs,

I have Camry 08. My wahala now is that engine doesn’t start (just rolls but doesn’t kickstart) when engine is hot until I allow it to cool off a bit. When cold, it starts in one try.

I was waiting in traffic the other day when the car off, to start became wahala. Had to allow it to cool off small.

Pls make una help my life.

Another one is Car consume fuel when I drive with ac and can be sluggish picking up speed especially on starting speed.

Hello GAZZUZZ,

My wife's Toyota Corolla 2010 has stopped responding the remote key of door and boot opening. I had the battery changed and it still will not respond. The battery on the key is a very good one with good voltage

Good evening guys, I erroneously left my radiator cap unlocked even though I closed it but I forgot to pull it off to confirm if it was closed after which my sister drove the vehicle to work and on her way back the vehicle shut off on the road and it was discovered that the coolant had escaped from the radiator and it had overheated.
Took it to a mechanic who diagnosed that the top gasket had failed and so I paid for its replacement. He also did some maintenance works on the engine caused by the damage from the overheating of which I will provide the details of the repair here for those who understand what he did.
I collected the vehicle yesterday and he advised me not to use a thermostat any longer as he explained it the way the usual Nigerian mechanics do. On driving it, I noticed the temperature gauge was etching towards the normal operating temperature mark which I thought was abnormal since the mechanic said he had removed the thermostat. Soon after the temperature needle started to move much higher on the gauge which is when I knew for sure something was wrong. I stopped the vehicle and waited for some times before I added water and I was able to drive the vehicle home.
Took it back to the mechanic today and he pointed out a leak in the radiator top rubber as was don clips holding the hose which I replaced. Carried out test drives and the issue persisted. Radiator was washed but the issue still persisted. He then consulted another mechanic who suggested we change the radiator completely. I purchase another double cell radiator @45,000 and unfortunately the issue still persists. I don’t know what else to do and the mechanic obviously doesn’t know what to do either. Please what could be the problem and what are the possible solutions?
Engine is a 2AZ engine. No visible smoke and no sign of liquid in the engine oil dipstick. No visible leaks except for when the engine has become very hot and I see a little bit of water that escaped from the radiator cap which I don’t think is enough to trigger overheating at that pace, usually 10-15mins after driving on high speed.

Also, is there any auto shop in Abuja I could go to? My transmission is faulty. The D light blinks and it frees itself like it was on neutral, revving as I drive.

I would have to turn off the car and put it back on.

DJ Damian or what ever you call your appellation... in as much as in the past you have the aptness to oppress others with the useless help you render to them without freedom. should give you the temerity to speak to me in such a derogatory ways.

I am not your employee for your information. Even if you are in Benin, so I should leave my office and set a location for us to meet right, because of what ..

if u ain't idle, by that particular time you ought to be in your office. ohh I forgot that the only way you have been making money is to used others like slave or thrall, even if they are in point of moribund. may God have mercy on your evil soul..

And if you ain't guilty also of all allegations, I don't expect you to do Audio give away. I will advice you to send that money to ur mom in the village, it's will be beneficial to her.. don't try and buy people conscience here. we already know how manipulative and authoritative you are...

dapotemi:
Oh pls stop engaging this boy, he does not have a bicycle and am not capping.

Well, as I've opined before. It is high time we all start looking towards the CNG project. It is the ONLY VIABLE SOLUTION to the issues being experienced on the job today.

Do you have any savings? Why not borrow the balance and go to get your vehicle professionally converted to use both petrol and CNG? You can work this December and clear off most if not all of the loan by working hard and saving every kobo possible even while being a bit flexible to accommodate the family on Xmas eve/day. After which you pay off the rest of the loan and keep making your profits no matter what come from early next year.

So in essence all im saying is CNG conversion for ehailing workers is a Win - Win 🏆 🙌

Transportation is a necessity and VIP Transportation is a niche market that is not gonna dissappear anytime soon. Better evolve with it or get left behind. Since the app coys aren't ready to increase the rider fees then it's imperative that you as a driver reduce your fueling fees to compensate. Whenever the app coys get their senses back and do the needful you'd be making a double killing on your profits 📈

Win - Win 🏆 🙌

Of course those afraid of CNG can go get a smaller displacement engine vehicle 🙄. . . But for me, using over 5 million naira to buy a tuke-tuke starlet type of car is a huge NO-NO, I dunno about you though

Have a wonderful weekend ahead guys

That’s why the exit plan sound odd to me. Oliver Twist, I don’t even see myself as a regular human being again. Maybe Jakpa will help sha…. Really been off driving this month and have to mingle with people more. They look odd to me, I keep seeing those ladies in another light entirely. The better part of me have always been me alone. Wake 7, be in the car till 9 and straight to bed. 😂

Starboytwo:
