GAZZUZZ: Radiator reverted (thermistor installed) Background history: Months ago, the radiator fan stopped working, the radiator motor fan was the culprit. Changed the fan to same model type, few days after, the motor got burnt again. Went back for another radiator fan but I'm quite sure it's not the model that was installed (it has 5 blades as against 4 blades that was previously installed). No issues afterwards Following this recent revert, was using the car with AC, then noticed the temp rising, put the AC off to cool the engine. Later inspected and the radiator fan has stopped work. Fan rolling well.....checked fuse box and found out that the 20A fuse has burnt. I replaced it with one of the 20A spare in the box. A week later, same issue (while using AC).....replaced with another 20A spare Two weeks later (yesterday) stuck in traffic while using AC, same issue, put off AC, car temp returned back to normal....but now I've run out of spare 20A fuse. I'm going to put in a spare 30A fuse temporary. Question: What's the likely cause and solution? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 11:51am On Nov 13, 2021 |
Phobos19: Naturally should.not blow a 20a fuse. Motor is bad. Once could argue its a higher rated fan capacity but 20a on a cooling fan is just fine. |

Hello professionals @Gazzuz and co, please I noticed that my Honda civic 2006 feels heavy when the AC is on. AC is manual. Its slow when moving in traffic, but it is flying when the road is clear and it has space to speed. I noticed this is when the AC is on. Car bought naija used and my first Honda Civic experience. Please is this normal? @Gazzuz |

Hey guys, please what could be wrong with my Toyota Corolla 2005 model. I notice that each time I start the engine, it makes “ kpu kpu kpu” sound and when I change gear.But it stops once the car start moving. No noteceable smoke from the exhaust. My kazeem mechanic checked but told me not to worry about it. But since it was not sounding like this before I feel it is something to worry about . |

Hello house, Need an advice for a friend. Bought a nija used Honda civic a month ago and has not gone long distance but drives everyday like 10km. He went to Lekki yesterday from Ipaja, first he noticed that the engine is usually hot when he got to Agungi( no coolant in the radiator, just water) and also this morning, maybe because of the over 154miles travelled he noticed that the engine shorts oil. Here is his question sirs, @Gazzus, 1. Can the hot car engine cause his engine oil to evaporate? ( uses XHP Mobil 1000) 2. Can the coolant that is not in the radiator cause the engine to be hot but not overheating. 3. What can he do differently to prevent further harm to the engine ( engine steams well and does not smoke). Elders in the game and professionals, please advice is needed. @Gazzuz |

Hello everyone, my car(Toyota Camry 2005 v6) radiator started leaking recently. I took it for repair but it didn't solve it, I was told to get a double cell radiator since the one currently there is a single cell.. What do you guys think? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by olumzzz(m): 4:35am On Nov 18, 2021 |
chrisja:Single or double ko matter. Just get original one |

I noticed that my o2 sensor connection was removed by the previous owner and I asked the mechanic to reconnect it, he did and my car started getting hard to accelerate. I removed the 02 sensor connection and everything went back to normal. Should I continue driving the car like that? It's a corolla 2003 |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Structuralman: 2:18pm On Nov 18, 2021 |
Meklex: Do a scan first. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Meklex(m): 2:23pm On Nov 18, 2021 |
Structuralman:I did a scan when I reconnected the o2 sensor and this was the code. I removed the connection and rescanned and the code went away
