Good evening house, please I have an urgent issue that needed urgent attention. I noticed there's an oil leak in my car , I wasn't sure at first but I finally checked underneath the protector today and I noticed the oil is actually leaking
Here comes my problem, I took it to my mechanic and explained the issued with my Car, after checking for hours, he wasn't able to find where the leakage is coming from
2. So, he opened the bonnet , and check every part until he said the oil might be leaking from the Turbo side, note, he wasn't sure and he had to call someone to seek their opinion about it. The next thing the person said was my turbo is spoilt, like how ( note , the person diagnosed on phone, like he wasn't present)
3. Note. The car still works fine, just the ony issues is where to check for oil leakage , they're talking as if buying a new turbo engine is beans Please, what can I do .. The car works fine , the speed and everything is okay , just the oil leaking part , that's giving me concern, Please what did you suggest I do

Hello, my Honda Cross-tur 2014 developed a gear fault, which I did repaired it the first time it happened, but the mechanic said it was the gear changer that needed to be changed which I did, now the same problem has occurred again. If I'm driving the D sign will be blinking and it will be jerkin. Pls what should I do? It's really cursing me sleepless nights.

Please I need your opinion on this,
Recently I changed the fuel pump for Camry 05,
Since then I discovered the car started consuming fuel anyhow.
3k fuel doesn't last for 2days at all

Please what can be the reason.
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by murphyfada(m): 11:12pm On May 18, 2022
Technically 3k feel is not much when u look at d traffic on d Road n using AC with ur car if u do uber or bolt. Then again all these fuel station cheat us. There are some 3k u will buy at some fuel station that will last u for days and some that you will buy it won't even carry a trip before it drains. So may not be d fuel pump you changed.

Hello everyone, beautiful afternoon.
Please i need help, my 2008 toyota camry is having some issues for some months now, after driving a while the fire goes down below 1 on the speed meter, it starts to jerk but dosent go off, if my Machanic works on it, it will resolve for a period of about 2 weeks and it comes up again. Then i also notice the oil shortage, was told it was the oil seal and it was replaced but i noticed same after a week. I also changed my front tires some weeks back but noticed the car vibrates on speed. It was scanned and the problem dictated was fuel pump and plugs, that was changed but same issues of fire going down when ever i slow down. Please help

Help Help !

Dear Nairalandera,

Please, there's a oil leak underneath my car, my mechanic have tried to check it but it seems they haven't gotten where the leak is coming from.
Yesterday, I was told they needed to remove the oil bottom and check if the leak is from there..which they did (the work on it and changed the car oil too ) and after I drove the car home overnight, I still noticed the leak..
Please, where else should they check for the leak ... the cost of mobil oil is getting more expensive and I'm loosing my mind to be honest

The car is kia optima( Turbo gdi engine )

Remote diagnosis would be practically impossible, but they should check all seals and also trace the leak. Oil leak shouldn't be hard to find.

1. When you say the “fire goes down below 1 on the speed meter" do you mean the RPM drops below 1 or the speedometer reading itself drops to zero while driving and the car starts jerking? Kindly explain further. You might need to rescan vehicle and post the codes here.

2. As for the oil seal, was it leaking and diagnosis pointed that it was the culprit for the oil shortage or your engine is burning oil? You might need to do a compression test (both wet and dry) to find our the health of you rings, valves and internals to rule out oil burn. And if the seal is the real culprit, you would know by visually inspecting it for telltale sign of oil leaks and it should be replaced with OEM seal of same size.
It won't be a bad idea to check your PCV system too.

3. For the wheel vibrating on motion, take the car for wheel balancing and alignment.

Hi all,
Please Kindly advice which to get as a first timer, i want to get either a Corolla sports or Matrix (2005 above) or Honda CRV 2008 above.
I will prefer a car that generally has low cost of maintenance and also good. Fuel consumption too should be average.
Please My Budget is around 1.8M.
Even if its Nigerian use, a very good engine,gear and tyres are paramount to me.

Kindly give your counsel..or if you also have them available
I realised there is a need for us to have a thread where we can say it very loud. Hence, the creation of this room.

In this room, we can derail as much as we want, discuss off topics, etc.

But please, no derogatory words, sales, adverts, spams or posting. Other than these, fire on!

*Note that this room is not for posting our normal car issues and seeking solutions for them. We have the entire section, outside this room, for that.

Moderator.

Evening house,i use a volkswagen product with turbo engine.the turbo charger got spoilt so i purchased another but it drained all the oil in my car within an hour of working.does anyone know an expert turbo charger repairer that could repair it?
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by Dahreformer2666: 7:56pm On May 30, 2022
Good evening sir , please I keep having issues with oil leakage in my car , even after tracing the leaking and fixing it , the leaking would just surface from different area entirely.

They have removed the oil pan and fixing it back, same with the retainer ... the leakages keep surface after awhile, the car is kia optima 2013

Bottom plate gasket leaks are easy to trace since they drip on the body of the plate.
Check your oil filter. The seals on some of the low quality ones usually fail causing leaks which are not easily noticed.
