Hello Sirs,

I noticed my car has been shortening oil, I changed the PCV its still shorting oil but not as much as before.

Please what can i do?

Run a compression test (wet and dry) to know if it's the rings of valve stem seals.
Or in the absence of a compression tester, hold a steady RPM at 2,500 to see if it smokes or not.

Please who has O2 ṣensor wrench/socket in Lagos?

My honda crv has an a/f sensor error code and I've bought a replacement.

But the problem is mechanics here don't have the socket so it's hard to remove it from the engine.

And my fuel dey burn steady. Help somebody

Your normal 22" 'flat by ring spanners' should work it out.

Sagaciousd1:

Attached is the scan result

Scan transmission.

Vibration and force feedback from pedal when brake is applied means you need new brake rotors.

He didn't state at what speed and driving conditions.
Could be the ABS too.

Hello Everyone,Good morning,I scanned my big daddy and it gave code P1135 pointing to the catalyst sensor i guess,New one is expensive,My rewire is asking me to go for tokunbo,Pls advise me,The fuel consumption is very high for a V4

Buy whichever one you can afford as long as it's working perfectly fine.

Help. I did not charge my oil since August.noticed it was shorting oil,so I topped with 5w30,5w40,20w50.then I finally serviced the engine with new oil yesterday. Used engine flush and drained the old oil which was charcoal black. Poured the new oil and new filter 5w40. Now it smokes gradually at idle. All spark plugs are good and not wet. What's the solution. Engine compression still strong.should I add resurrs additive

Did you run a compression test to get to this conclusion?

mattbass:
Good works my elders.
Please my Honda civic 2010 model keeps blinking the drive light when engaged. It doesn't stay permanent when on drive mode but other options like park when engaged doesn't blink.
My mechanic says is the gearbox and he checked but still remain and everything regarding the gear box was serviced but still no solution.
What could be the possible cause

Scan the transmission with a good scanner

masciv:


This case is now beyond the mechanic I've met.

Because you've been meeting the wrong set of mechanics.

Thanks for your reply, where can you refer me to?

Call him for proper diagnosis.

we just changed the throttle pedal..I don't know why it still refuse to raise

Test these guys and replace defective ones

olatunjysky:
My Nissan Murano does not raise above 2k rms I don't know why,it only raise above 2k rms that when I just start it subsequently it won't raise above it after some seconds

Clear code and see if it raises.
Your TPS is likely the culprit.

A friend of mine went to prison because he sent a message to one of the tomatoes paste company complaining about his bad experience with the product. Instead of the company to take his feedback and work on it, they framed him up and sent the poor guy to prison.
I totally believe this story.

Good evening everyone, I am having issues with my Camry 2002 v4.
I have been going from one rewire to another. The complain I gave to them is that when I accelerate, sometimes it moves smooth and sometimes it's sluggish.
Coil has been changed, plug changed, engine oil replaced, gear oil replaced, air flow metre replace. But the issue still persists.
Now one of the rewire told me it's not fuel pump, that i will need to change the brain box.

I need help!!

Check all ground connections in your car to be sure they're tighten on bare metal and not loosed or fastened on a rusty sheet.
I've had to deal with bad ground issue that gave the impression of intermittent bad fuel pump and poor ignition sparks. Gets worse when it rains.

abiolag:


Miraculously 😀

You've found out that water is a poor conductor.

richmondefosa:


Apologies. I meant to say 525i.

I have modified the post.

Do you think I need to upgrade anything?

The car is low. Should I increase the ground clearance by adjusting all suspensions? Will it negatively affect drive quality?

My iDrive works but I cannot connect to the car Bluetooth.

The vehicle starts smoothly and runs smoothly too. Really really silent engine both internally and externally. If I don't horn, you would never know the car is on.

So I have a few questions.

I come from a Honda and Toyota background and I am used to seeing the temperature gauge. On this BMW, there is no temperature gauge. I have googled and watched a couple of YouTube videos but what they are saying does not make sense to me.

Recomended Oil is Castrol from the manual. I am tempted to ask. Can I use Mobil 1?

When servicing, do I change the 6 plugs too? The previous owner said he changes all plugs when changing oil. I never used to change plugs when servicing my Honda or Toyota.

The tires are fully gauged but the tire pressure light is still on. Any help?

Also, when I drive without wearing the seatbelt, it chimes on the iDrive. When I wear the seatbelt, the chiming stops but the seatbelt light stays on on the dashboard.

The only lights on my dashboard are tire pressure which is amber, Seatbelt which is red even when I put it on and airbag light which is also red.

Any help or pointers? I really want to treat this car like the baby that she is.
Anything to expect from the ride

I want to put it on a proper highway like Lagos-Ibadan and feel its raw power but I don't want any sudden problem coming up unexpectedly.

Feedback and comments are welcome.

Run a full system scan to catch any hidden code.

solutionboy:
Good day sir. I drive a Toyota corolla 2006 and for sometime now my engine has been running rough with occasional fluctuation in rpm. It only stops when I turn on the AC but continues when its off or thermostat cuts.

I recently ran a diagnosis on it and the error codes are P0012 and P0016. I consequently ran a search on the aforementioned codes but still don't understand. Could you please point out the issue(s) to me.

Thanks a whole lot sir.

What's your repair history.

abiolag:

Thanks for your input 🙏🏾
I started the car in the afternoon and noticed the abs and brake light were not showing again but door light and cruise light started blinking with airbag light 😀
I called another Rewire who could not even say anything reasonable. I decided to drive the car for like 30 minutes around without Ac and when I put on the Ac after like 45 minutes the car just went off. I start it again and all lights were gone and it became normal again.
I drove for another 2 hours and no light.
Though I washed the engine a day earlier maybe that could be the reason for the malfunctions

You've solved the mystery.

Hello guys, any idea on genuity of Masuma parts being sold in Nigeria?

I have changed my brake discs to tokunbo and then to a brand new one but I'm still getting steering judder when braking on highway speeds (100-140KMh).

I'm thinking on buying an 'oem' or at least legitimate quality as I've changed almost everything (discs, pads, calipers, tierod ends, ball joints, control arm and stabilizer bar bushings, wheel bearings, shaft, tokunbo tires, shock absorbers, even rotated tires) on my front end except the hub itself but I keep, getting the ridiculous vibrations when I dare brake.

Or is there anything I should be looking at? What's the possibility of a tokunbo and brand new brake discs being out of round?

What car is that?
Your complain shouldn't be difficult to diagnose and fix

Good evening great minds,
Pls I drive a 2005 lexus es330, I recently changed the water pump and since then I observed that
1.There is a water flowing sound (like water running through holes from the dashboard) that the car makes whenever I start the car, very strange sounds o.
2. Each time I brake at a bump or speed breaker, it sluggishly picks up and jacks as well before driving smoothly.
Kindly advise me on what to do pls.

Hostermipo:
Good evening house,

Please my steering is always very hard to turn when I am stationary while pressing break, until I lift my foot from the break or throttle a little before if functions normally again. It makes it really difficult to come turn or come out of very small space.

Please advise

Thanks

Check power steering pressure hose or pump connection and ensure the socket is well fitted in.
Your ECU is not getting command to increase idle when you turn the steering.

Hey there, folks in the Car Talk Chat Room! I've been tinkering under the hood of my old clunker lately, and I could sure use some advice. It's making this weird clunking sound when I hit the gas, and it's got me scratching my head. Any of you experienced gearheads have a suggestion on what might be causing this ruckus? I'd appreciate any insights you can throw my way! Thanks a million. 🚗💨

Engine and transmission mount should be inspected.
Also check you inner CV axle to know if it's okay then replace

Abdul111:
thanks boss
Can you pls list them out

There's a thread for it on car talk.
Better still go with your mechanic for inspection.
