Repairs by radautoworks: 7:32pm On Sep 18, 2019
While others were expending their energy and data today, we were busy at Mr Transmission-Milex Rad Auto works. It was so weird that all we had today were engine and transmission jobs I just had to start a thread because I was having a blast grin

From now on, when I get a minute I'll post some repairs we are doing here. If I remember I'll also post the cost. The other thread will remain for weird and misdiagnosed things we have run across.

So I walked into work this morning kind of pissed off, but then I saw this.

That reminded me of what someone (obekediamondfuto) on Nairaland recently said about me changing and becoming savage. I remembered who I was and what my mission was so I decided to rise above everything and eliminate all the negativity in my NL life. Bottom line, don't waste time on things that are not on your level wink

2014 (?) Mercedes GL was cutting off in motion. Frayed fuel pump wires were the culprit. Yet another customer who didn't have to buy any parts.

Good job you guys are doing at @Radautos.
I'm just kinda curious about the frayed fuel pump on the Benz. I'm looking at the wiring harnesses of the pump, on how the wires got burnt.

From your assessments, what do you think caused the pump to fry up to this stage?

I actually think it was intentional and/or carelessness by the people who previously worked on it based on the seal

Example of how we bill. Customer gets an estimate like this and approves it before we ever begin work. No surprise billing here cool

This job we weren't happy to do because the car had less than 50,000 miles on it!

I think the Mod answered you on your own thread that you should stop posting your name and phone number and whatnot at the end of your posts since it is not an advert or if you insist, you should move it to the right section. You too like Wahala.

Move your company name to the signature, move your number to the signature, move your name to the signature, post again, and if deleted...then you have a genuine complaint

until then

you appear to be responsible for your problems

Are yours original content or third party links? Ours are from our YouTube channel
Re: Repairs by TRYGO(m): 12:08pm On Sep 22, 2019
No one ever replied me on y some of my threads are being deleted.
Could you point the Mod reply as regards that? I'd be so glad.

They are original contents from me, and not YouTube links.
Does that means if they are my contents they aren't supposed to be shared?

From responses I've seen elsewhere I think the solution is as simple as putting your contact info in your signature not the body of your post. Try that.

Based on your experience with customers who use both Toyota and American brand what will you say is the common, cause of severed failures.

I my own uninformed opinion, the car has issues in the first place, then the use of. Wrong fluid and the bad roads. Coupled with the first attempt to fix by inexperienced mechanic
