Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by michytluv: 6:09am On May 26, 2022 |
morning all, Pls I have a Corolla (Uber) I do hear this humming sound from the bonnet side when ac is on and when I accelerate. If Ac is not on, car works fine, I called Rasheed, he said it's d compressor, got a tokunbo compressor, grade 1, ac is chilling as usual but the humming sound still persist. Pls kindly help |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by jceesquare(m): 5:59pm On May 26, 2022 |
michytluv:It's either you have a bad compressor bearings or you probably have a slightly losed part touching the bonnet or body of the car while A/C is on. Remote diagnosis might be difficult. |

Having issue with my Kia Sorento EX 2005 model, for about 3weeks now. I don't know if anyone can help here. The problem is once I start the car and drive it for like 2 or 3 kilometers, then it won't accelerate again and it will be making sound like 'pup pup pup' I have to wait till it cold before it can move again and once it hot the same thing will start. Along the line, we have changed the crane saft sensor, changed the fuel pump, changed nosstle and plug. Changed the coil. The problem still there. Pls help. GAZZUZZ: |

My ABS light (amber colour) and caution light stays on but nothing detected on a scanner. Observes a noise (kpum) when gear shifts (automatic gear) from first selection and no noise during subsequent shifts. What could be the possible cause and solution as all the technicians I have met seemed not to have any idea of the cause or remedy. Toyota Corolla 2008 model. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Dez10(m): 3:08pm On May 27, 2022 |
Dear cars enthusiasts, I want to knw if my Toyota matrix 06 fuel consumption is fair. On a full tank of 50litrs, what get is 250miles, city diving only (school, church, market etc). AC is on 80% of the time. Only two codes on d car: P0128(catalyst efficiency below threshold. P01441(evaporative emission leaks). Should i bother abi make i still dey touch touch? I am planning to replace my upstream & downstream oxygen sensors, though no code from both sensors. Best Regards. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by jceesquare(m): 4:29pm On May 27, 2022 |
Aghaclem67:Use a high-end scanner to scan the ABS system. Check transmission mount, oil level and inner CV axle for the noise. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Aghaclem67: 5:36pm On May 27, 2022 |
jceesquare: Thanks I will do just that. |

endemophy:You're having issues with your idle control system. A simple clean with a Carburetor Cleaner might resolve it. I'd suggest you scan your system for fault codes though. |

GAZZUZZ How much do you sell: 1. New shocks absorber for the rear? 2. 1 litre power steering fluid? Honda Accord 2007 DC I refilled the shock but it didn't last. I await your response. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Kieseni: 2:33am On May 29, 2022 |
Good morning car gurus, My RX350 has been having issues. Steering has been stiff while turning, steering rack has been changed, but the issue still somehow exists. The engine also misfires, check engine light is on. So i decided to scan it. I have a small ELM 327 device. This is the result. I looked up the solutions and honestly, i still have some issues. Sir, what do you advice?
|
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by mashnino(m): 2:52am On May 29, 2022 |
Kieseni: with respect to the misfiring, the error code is there. Two of your ignition coils are bad (D and F) So you probably have to change them. If you have money sha just change every thing. For the steering, i will allow my oga at the top assist with that one 2 Likes |

[quote author=endemophy post=113248569][/quote] Did you change your AC compressor? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by endemophy: 10:01am On May 29, 2022 |
jceesquare:Nope..still the follow come. The vibration just recently started |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by jceesquare(m): 10:26am On May 29, 2022 |
endemophy:In your initial post you said it vibrates when the gear is in the D and R position and also while AC is on. Then later you quoted that it vibrates on just the R position and while AC is on. If I get you well, I'll still suggest you check your idle control system. That's the system responsible for giving your engine a little rev to compensate for power draw from your electrical, hydraulic power steering, AC, drive gears and other of such loads load that takes power from the engine. But if your car only vibrates when the AC is on, then chances are high that your AC compressor clutch might be going bad. I'd suggest you take your car for proper diagnosis which might include scanning the system for fault codes. Remote diagnosis might be a bit difficult. BTW, what's the position of thee RPM when it vibrates? I'm trying to rule out if the vibration is as a result of power draw to the engine or something else. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by soviete(m): 10:58am On May 29, 2022 |
Oga Gazzuzz, I got issues with my kia rio 2009 sedan..not hatchback... At First, it couldn't go up hill. it would move well on leveled surfaces but it won't go uphill especially from a stop. I went to various mechanics they couldn't pin point the actually issue...one said it could be fuel pump..another said to change spark plugs and clean the nozzle and fuel injector..another said timing was off..they all tried but It still didn't stop. They later said it's a wiring issue that it's a rewire job. Rewire change fuel pump and ignition coil. After that one finished car moved very well but reverse gear didn't work and it makes on clanking sound when it's idling...but once you rev the engine the sounds stops. Rewire said that wasn't his jurisdiction that na mechanic work but that was the last straw for me...I change am for rewire...carry my car comot and haven't taken it anywhere since then |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by jceesquare(m): 11:03am On May 29, 2022 |
soviete:Have you checked your gear control unit? They're known to cause same issues on that Kia. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by David50: 6:24pm On May 29, 2022 |
soviete: You are throwing hard earned money away. Start with a scan |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by David50: 6:29pm On May 29, 2022 |
Kieseni: * Looks like a classic power steering pump issue.. esp if it is making a whinning noise when you turn the steering. You should meet a good mechanic to properly diagnose this before you spend money replacing it. * your other issues (as revealed on the scan) are fairly straight forward. Change the failing ignition coils as well as the oxygen sensor. The misfire will stop and fuel consumption will be better |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:21am On May 30, 2022 |
Kieseni: What year |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by jceesquare(m): 6:50pm On May 30, 2022 |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Dahreformer2666: 7:55pm On May 30, 2022 |
jceesquare: Good evening sir, I quoted you the other day , 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 |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by jceesquare(m): 8:17pm On May 30, 2022 |
Dahreformer2666:Good evening sir. If the oil keeps leaking from the oil pan, then I'll suggest you change the oil pan itself. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Dahreformer2666: 8:27pm On May 30, 2022 |
jceesquare: The problem was, they said it was from oil pan, it was fixed, a day later I discovered oil leak from another session , it was fixed , a day later I discovered the oil is leaking from different session again, |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by jceesquare(m): 8:36pm On May 30, 2022 |
Dahreformer2666:This is my advice? Ask your mechanic to check all oil seals, they might be old and brittle. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by MrAmaechi(m): 10:38pm On May 30, 2022 |
In my in experience, scanning you car produces code you may end up not knowing what to do or solve. I have posted my error, to Gazzuzz and Mike, no solution to the codes. GAZZUZZ: |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by HilcomTech(m): 6:57am On Jun 01, 2022 |
Good morning car gurus, I scanned my Toyota Corolla 2010 about two weeks ago ago after the engine light came up and the following codes came up. 1) P0138 2) P0607 The codes were cleared but they came back after about a week. Please what steps should I take to resolve the situation. Thanks Cc: Gazzuzz dru23 autologic

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:14am On Jun 01, 2022 |
HilcomTech: Go under the car, unscrew the O2 sensor, check for broken wires touching each other on the sensor, tape up properly and reinstall. Clear codes. 2 Likes |
