Hello house. Is this idea really worth it? This is my first time trying to own an SUV. Now, my interest is going towards 2010 Volvo XC90. I know there are other options like highlander and Lexus 2005-2008, Venza, or Honda CR-V 2008-2011. But I'm not the type of person that follow trends or has bandwagon effect. I must not buy because some people are buying. But reality must come to play about maintenance, resell value and other factors. What I like about the Volvo products are their sturdy outlook and build, security, the quality of the interior and exterior and their off-road purpose. And from research, their parts don't get spoilt easily like the other japanese cars. Like I earlier stated, it's my first time trying to own an SUV. I'm not a money bag. Just an average young Man financially. |

aboyaji: Whosoever told you these or wherever you heard this is totally false! Fallacy! I’ve owned a Lexus for 6.5 years and NOT one thing failed till I sold the car off, owned a highlander for 4 years nothing failed till I sold her off, owned an Infiniti QX4 for 1 year and not a thing broke till I sold her off. I used all of these cars daily and on frequent travels. I don’t know where you got those rumors but they’re all fallacies. 3 Likes |

GAZZUZZ:Okay Sir...thanks. So this is likely the Culprit? Any idea of the cost? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by aboyaji(m): 8:15am On Oct 11, 2022 |
kingreign: Ok. Kingreign. Thanks again. But what do you have to say about that vehicle? Please consider the fact that I'm yet to own my first SUV and do you think it's wise starting off with the Volvo XC90 model? |

I have a problem with my MDX I hope the gurus can help. Whenever I’m driving at low speeds somewhere between 20 - 40 km per hour, there is is sound I hear like kran kran kran . Sounds like the vibration of a loose bolt or one metal making contact with another. The thing is when I am above this speed (cruising speed), the sound goes away, but the moment I slow down back to that speed range, the sound comes back. Also, below 20 kmph, I don’t hear the sound. Does anyone know what could be the problem? |

Good afternoon. Honda CRV 2008 recently started having this problem: The AC works fine while driving, but once it comes to idle or at at a traffic stop light, the car suddenly shudders with a drop in the rpm and in some instances dies. I start it back on, and it work again till the next stop sign and it happens all over again. I have scanned and there no codes. i would really appreciate your comments. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by monshow25(m): 10:25am On Oct 13, 2022 |
nickyosas:low refrigerant from the A/C system can cause and mostly the compressor control valve might be faulty so you might need to change your compressor |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ArticleBeast: 4:22pm On Oct 13, 2022 |
I have an issue with my 2002 honda accord. Yesterday, I scanned the car since it was misfiring and got the following codes po300, po301, po302, po303, po304 plus po1399. Took it to the mechanic and the spark plugs were changed, fuel nozzles cleaned, EGR was cleaned. Cleared the codes. Today, it started misfiring with the po1399 code and o2 sensor code only showing. Please what can I do to resolve this issue. Luvinhubby, Gazzuzz, Kingreign and other car experts. Please help |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by nickyosas(m): 3:13pm On Oct 14, 2022 |
ok. Thanks for the input. so far though, i cleaned out the throttle body and the MAF sensor and it has somewhat brought sanity....the rpm since yesterday doesn't drop past 800, 700min. Still unsure if i would need to change the compressor though...i have never changed it. monshow25: |

WycliffeSMB:It can be fixed. Most times, it's caused by a broken flex wire. |

WycliffeSMB: It’s safer and better to replace that item. Any wrong fix and should there be a breach in the continuity, you’d either fry some electrical components or deploy airbag. |

Recently i discovered my camry 08 v6 shudders briefly when accelerating or climbing a hill within the speed range or 60 to 80 km/hr. The shudder feels like mild grinding sensation that comes on and off only when accelerating within theaforementioned speed range.. it rarely occurs when driving at constant speed. I thought it might be my inner cups so i had them both replaced but the issue still persisted. Also did alignment but the problem still remained. My tyres are brand new so i can rule that out.. Later i felt it might be linked to the transmission so i did a drain and refill (twice) with Toyota WS atf. The transmission fluid was still quite pink though.. as this isn't my first time. The problem didn't really go away but i think it may have reduced a bit (might just be my mind playing tricks on me). Please what do you suggest i do... i have run out of ideas. Cc Gazzuz, kingreign and other Chiefs in the house Thanks. |

Hello Bosses In the house, I scanned an 08 Honda Civic and these codes came up; kindly advise please P0400. EGR system leak detected P0404. EGR valve circuit range/performance problem P0455. EVAP system very large leak detected P0353. No 3 cylinder ignition coil circuit malfunction P0457. EVAP system leak detected/fuel full cap loose or missing P0497.
