My favorite is my AUDI.... superb car... all time favorite. I got it as a gift from my father for my wedding. Trust me the car is simply superb. Audi produces 100% galvanised cars to prevent corrosion, and was the first mass-market vehicle to do so, following introduction of the process by Porsche. Along with other precautionary measures, the full-body zinc coating has proved to be very effective in preventing rust. The body's resulting durability even surpassed Audi's own expectations, causing the manufacturer to extend its original 10-year warranty against corrosion perforation to currently 12 years (except for aluminium bodies which do not rust) |

@cunlay Battery chargers connect with the red clip to the positive (+) and the black clip to the negative (-) battery post. Hook up clips to battery first, verify correct installation and then plug in the charger. I would have your battery load tested to verify it is in good working order and will hold a charge. If you have a good battery go to a shop that specializes in automotive electrical systems and they will be able to locate the power drain. Do not rely on your alternator to fully charge a dead battery after the jump start. Only a battery charger will fully charge a dead battery. |

ALIGNMENT: That might be an alignment problem (which also might irregularly and prematurely wear your tires). Maybe an alignment would solve that problem, or you might have worn steering parts (such as a worn ball joint). You can check the alignment parts yourself, by jacking up the car and wiggling the tires (but be aware that tires should wiggle a bit anyway). What you are looking for is unusual movement in any steering part. GRABBING BRAKES: It is possible that the problem is in the braking system (something might be sticking). Perhaps you have a warped caliper (which can warp from heat if the rotors get too thin to properly dissipate heat)? You can test which brakes (front or back) are causing the problem by applying just the rear brakes alone using the emergency brake (but just slightly apply the emergency brake so it doesn't grab). The emergency braking system is by cable, not hydraulics, so it isolates the problem to the brakes, not the hydraulic system. You can also jack up the car and rotate the tires to see if there is a caliper. |

Guys, there is a 2000 model Nissan maxima I was thinking of buying naija-used, prob is the owner says it has key-coding issues, is this a serious matter? can I afford to fix it? |
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by kingschild123(m): 12:37pm On Nov 02, 2013 |
@ninz It is a bit technical you need to have the original keys programmed to your car. Get in the car and lock the doors. Have all remotes in hand. Insert your key into the ignition and out, in/out, in/out until the hazard lights click twice. Turn the key into the "on" position, do not start. At that time press unlock on each remote 1 at a time. The hazard will click for each one it takes. When you are done turn the car off, unlock manually and get out. You are done! |

@zion247 I would suggest you use the car AC less frequently. |
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by kingschild123(m): 12:37pm On Nov 06, 2013 |
@phyla "Scraping" sounds like brake pad wear strips - "grinding" sounds like the calipers have gotten into the rotors. If it just started you should be alright - do not continue driving the car without having the brakes inspected and the necessary repairs done. If calipers are into the rotors expect to pay quite a bit more. Lesson - pay attention - when the noise first starts have your brakes inspected and pads replaced! There are brake pad wear strips on your pads that are there to warn you when the pads are worn - when you first start hearing that noise the rotors are still OK - they are designed for that purpose - to keep you from continuing to drive the car until the calipers get into the rotors. 1 Like |

@kingschild123,tnks a lot sir.I might have no reason to doubt you cause I did something of recent which I have never done b4 nd that is the fact that I changed my break pad with an old one I've used before because I usually wait on my cousin to help send from the US but the one I removed was flat and I thought whilst waiting,the old one wld would serve me.Of a truth it never sounded that way until I got the pad changed and serviced the car as well.All simply because I hvent found the break pad here b4.Would try and change it.Thanks once more |
