Hello Bosses

I need your help on

1) Understanding what the issue is

2) The right solution and best way to go about it.

The car is ML350 4matic. From my knowledge through research, here is how I can describe it.

Serpentine Belt sucked inside the engine. the belt was shredded to the extent some tangled around the roller holding one of the pullies and force open the engine as a result a chain got dislodged from its sprocket and the engine refuse to start.

What should I be expecting to fix ?
How much should I budget for this fix ?
Is this a serious that can lead to other complication or reoccurring issues after fix or a straight forward fix ?

The belt is something I mean if it means changing it every 4 months I'm okay. I just want to understand the issue and fix/manage it. as that belt is the one and only issue I faced.

Please I need your advise.

Check rollers, water pump, tensioner etc check for bad bearings and misalignment, if you notice any that's bad, replace it and replace with genuine belt.

Cheers!

I'm curious.
How did the belt got swallowed into the engine to dislodge your chain?

My car developed one fault and i wanted to check if anyone has experienced and has an idea what it could be

Honda accord 2010

Na AC compressor i go do
After the man fix am, i go carry the car
I noticed on my way it wasn’t moving well and the gear wasn’t selecting well
(Note: i had not driven it much)
And was really entering reverse and drive with force like “ gbim”(a loud thud)
So i parked to check the gear oil because i know when they remove radiator some of the oil will leak
Lon and behold the dip stick didn’t have oil on it,
I sha bought a dextron 3 oil to top it up and drove home but it didn’t stop change much
The car was revving high and no selection or change in gear
But i didn’t speed
Was just going home jejely

Next morning i took it to gear guy and he settled down and opened it and said gear is gone and that fiber is burnt but i didn’t smell anything burnt
All i could smell was hot gear oil normally
He said he will try his best that it should work. He sha bought abro cleaner, he loosened some of the solenoid on the gear and cleaned it and fixed them
And Coupled everything
Lo and behold
We took it for a test drive and it worked ok

The issue came back again on my way home when i parked to get something
I wanted to reverse and it engaged but loudly and drive same thing and gear didn’t change
I called the guy, he now said i should disconnect battery head and connect it back after 5 minutes and check
Lo and behold it stopped and it drive smoothly and selected gears appropriately
But anytime i off car and i want to start it again and i don’t disconnect battery for few seconds and plug it back
The problem comes
But if i disconnect battery
It works fine until i of the car again..

I didn’t believe the burnt gear thing
When i called the gear guy back and told him i need to disconnect battery to always reset
He said i will buy gear and that it’s gone
But i don’t seem to buy this because i took it to someone else that does gear (mechanical) (first guy was gear electrician) the person said nothing burnt
And that if gear is truly burnt, and scattered as he said , why does it work when i disconnect battery and plug back?
That it’s probably something electrical
Although i go go scan am tomorrow sha
But has anyone experienced anything of such ??

Milestogo:
Good evening everyone, I am having issues with my Camry 2002 v4.
I have been going from one rewire to another. The complain I gave to them is that when I accelerate, sometimes it moves smooth and sometimes it's sluggish.
Coil has been changed, plug changed, engine oil replaced, gear oil replaced, air flow metre replace. But the issue still persists.
Now one of the rewire told me it's not fuel pump, that i will need to change the brain box.

I need help!!

candygebsslim:

So you don't know how to scan your car?

Pls help my car coil keeps failing , after like 2months . The mechanic is saying something about loosing the engine to work on the gasket

vivalavida:


Have you scanned this car?

I just scanned it today and the rewire said it's the knock sensor that I should change it.
Meanwhile, I have taken the car to gear repairer and he said nothing wrong with my gear that I should change knock sensor and brain box.. I just pray it's works.

E gbami oooo

Hello house

My 2010 honda crv temperature gauge rises to almost high whenever I'm on the express.

But whenever I'm within the streets or inner roads, it doesn't go past the middle.

The fans are connected directly and it runs with water (plan to revert to factory setting as soon as I figure out what the problem is)

So the temperature shouldn't go beyond the halfway mark at all but it does and happens when I'm only on the express

Some are saying water pump, others are saying radiator.

Don't want to do trial and error

Please what could be the problem?

Just change the knock sensor.

I don't think it has anything to do with the brainbox.

Had a similar experience and changing the knock sensor solved it

Remote diagnosis would be difficult.
Your temperature shouldn't even get to the middle with your current setup.
You'll need a technician to physically inspect your cooling system and fix what's wrong.

Exactly. I've taken it for pressure test.
They said its the radiator cap. Changed it and same thing is still happening.

Do you have any technician you can recommend in Lagos?

It is either radiator or water pump. Once the temp has risen above the middle mark, switch on your heater, if the temp reduces, definitely your radiator is faulty.

Okay. I'll try this. Thank you.

Check radiator, fan, water pump. If any is bad, replace the part.

Please can someone give me a permanent solution to this belt cutting in my Honda Civic 06. I have done everything I can. I have changed belt adjuster, change pulley buy Belgium belts yet no way.

Change Mechanic, get the right belt routing for that car, check ALL pulleys and their grooves to ensure they're straight, smooth, and are aligned.

Good morning
My car idle rpm fluctuates. Sometimes too high and after driving for some minutes it will go down. And most times it will go so low while driving which makes d car to off sometime (most especially in traffic). Sometime it will be difficult for the car to restart because the battery will appear so weak to restart the car. I’ve changed battery and also work on the alternator when I was informed it was doing slow charging.
Whenever throttle body is cleaned it will get better for like 2 days and start misbehaving again.
Base on my rewire suggestion to stop the slow charging issue, I decided to change the throttle body yesterday but surprisingly the RPM has remained above 1 since and even this morning when I start the car it was so high almost getting to 2000rpm at idle. The mechanic guy told me that it will normalise with Time which I don’t know how long it will take.
Please what could be the next thing I will do to get a normal rpm?
I drive Camry 2004
