Good day house, I drive Opel Zafira 99/2000 model, manual drive. I discovered it is consuming more than expected fuel. I have been referred to two experts but they wouldn't give a specific reason it is doing so. Though I just replaced the engine not quite long and I have been noticing this issue since i replaced it. What could likely be the problem and the solution please?.

Good evening comrades. Please are there light weight AC Compressors that use less engine power?

My AC takes too much of engine power. While idling, the steering vibrates. On low speed especially on bad roads, the engine can go off. Sometimes it will cause overheating. It has one time damaged my alternator.

Although it chills quite well, the trouble is much. It's a manual 2005 Honda Civic

I drive a Mazda 3 2005 model, 4 speed automatic transmission, and my fuel consumption is tearing my pocket meaning its on the high side, Now that a litre of fuel is above N500, Imagine the the rate I'll be buying fuel.
Performed a scan on it and the code are;

P0032
P0038
P0118
P0126
P0134
P0303
P0462
P2004

Secondly, each time I shift to reverse I hear a sound, like a jerk sound before the car will reverse.
Please what's the meaning of that sound I'm hearing ?
Is it something to fix quickly ?
Please help ..

Good day everyone, recently I had an overheating issue which caused the top gasket of my car to burn. So I had to replace the gasket and change oil cos oil and water got mixed. After that, I drove some distance from the mechanic shop and oil alert popped up, idk why this alert is showing cos I literally just changed the oil, I had to drive back to the mechanic but it was too late so he said I should bring it back tomorrow. On my way to the mechanic shop today, the battery alert popped and Parked me on the road, had to jumpstart to car then drove it to the mechanic. Please guys, what’s wrong with this car?

Ask your mechanic to go over the job.
Probably an oversight error with your wiring harness.
What car is this?

My corolla Le 2011 remote control ceases for sometimes and then start working on it's own again. Currently it has stopped. I have taken it for check up and the electrician seems not to get what exactly is wrong. Any suggestion on possible ways to get this resolved ??
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by mejai(m): 7:02am On Aug 12, 2023
After fixing P0141 ( I changed the sensor and everything seems fine). After some days, P1172 came on and refused to go. My fuel is going angry

Also P2184 is still there with double cell radiator. (How it was bought from the owner)

So between p2184 and p1172 who they chop my fuel? Honda Accord DC.
Tanx!

Is it a factory remote or an aftermarket part?
Have your locksmith/key programmer check it.

your problems are simple and straight forward. The oxygen sensor is about 8k. Also replace engine coolant temperature sensor. But before changing both of them, make sure their harness is in tact.

It's not up to 2weeks I bought the sensor. The initial code(p0141) cleared off. Till now the code is no more. But the P1172 showed up few days ago. Each time I cleared it off, it comes up. I think I will check the wires.

Check wire. But are you sure your mechanic has not exchanged it ?

I don't think so. But I will pull it out and check.
Probably let the person I bought it from look into it. Thanks all
