I Just finished installing new piston rings on my engine. I need a work through stages to follow. After the fix the car idles for about 6hours. And alot of fuel bunts for ring siting. But My mechanic told me not to fire the car and to drive it gently and change the oil one week time and i most not carry load or use the AC for now. But from online search they talk about 500/1000 miles for break-in. Some reports said 30mins is enough for ring to sit properly. 1 week for oil change seems too short for me for to me some a |

AutoConsult: Testing testing testing.. After changing the knock sensor, I enjoyed it for few days, the car move smoothly select well without sluggish. Just yesterday as am about to overtake one car, it start to sluggish again and I Have to match it up to pick. I was so worried and I took it to rewire and he scanned to detect that the knock sensor they changed was fake. The code below Is what the machine saw: P0325 knock sensor 1 circuit ( Bank 1 or single sensor P1346 VVT sensor/ Camshaft position sensor circuit range/performance problem bank 1 The rewire now said he will buy tokunbo knock sensor that will work, but I saw some new knock sensor on JUMIA |

2023ending: Yes break in for engine is between 500 to 1000km. I will advice you do as instructed by the mechanic to change the oil in a week, to avoid "had I known" Also don't rev the engine pass 2k rpm till all settle in. 2 Likes |

Milestogo: Have an electrician check your wiring to your camshafts sensor and knock sensors, if they're good, buy tokunbo sensors that is removed from a tokunbk engine. |

kingreign: @nurey Ok. The oil I bought was mobil 1000 20w50. Engine recommended oil 5w20. After the rebuild, I was confused which oil to buy from 20w50 or 5w30. Because engine has been using thicker oil. And I think I bought the 20w50 because of the crankshaft because the engine has been using thinker oil and we didn’t change anything from the crankshaft like metal. What we change was rings and valve seal, then grind the valves. There is this noise coming from the top.. But the people that ring it told me the sound is not from the engine itself. They said to use it like that for sometime it will clear. But yesterday i took it to another mechanic to help me check the tapping sound. The man said its from the top cylinder cup. He said it look like oil is not circulating well enough. My first time of hearing the word cup. He said i should drive it for sometime or i can top it with oil treatment it will stop. I was thinking if to add mobile 5w30 or oil treatment will stop that noise? |

2023ending: If there is tapping sound, the first mechanic no complete his job then. Nah to dey use the car like that why saving up for replacement engine. |

nurey:what could be the cause of that noise? I don’t know describe the noise its. Can’t it be fix? |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by nurey(m): 4:57am On Nov 16, 2023 |
2023ending: We can't diagnose sound online, it is a physical inspection thing. Also top cylinder might need to come off for inspection to determine what is causing sound. |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by 2023ending: 6:16am On Nov 16, 2023 |
nurey:thanks but i know all that. we only change the valve seal. Its the same engine i was using before. A Very silent engine. What’s likely cause of noise after valve oil seal change? |

2023ending: What vehicle is this |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by nurey(m): 7:25am On Nov 16, 2023 |
2023ending: Everything inside the engine can cause noise, even a forgotten foreign body inside when bolted back can cause it too. Noise needs physical inspection to determine like I said I can't categorically pinpoint the issue because valve seal was worked on |

[quote author=Alertman24 post=126977899][/quote] Check around the catcher that holds down the bonnet, if you find an unplugged connector there, please reconnect it. If you don't, then you might need someone to physically carry out parasitic draw test. AutoJando |

Hello, my good people. So I'm a first time car owner (since February of this year) and I'm in a distressing situation. I own a Hyundai Elantra 2015 model and the original compressor for the car go damaged sometime in May. The technical told me it would be impossible to get a manual Hyundai compressor and the automatic compressor won't last and was expensive. He ended up constructing and fixing a Peogut compressor. Ever since then I noticed that the vibration of my car increased, although it's negligible but the car's sound has changed. Fast forward to date, I started hearing a knocking sound when I turn on the car. I took it to my mechanic and they said the sound is coming from the compressor and not the engine. The disconnected the fan belt so the pulleys were not turning and the sound wasn't there. I spent around 20k just yesterday trying to fix the sound and I just wasted my money. The AC guy said the bearing and pulley of the compressor is bad, so he changed it but yet the sound is still there. At this point I'm getting fed up. Please has anyone been in the same situation or experienced the same issue? I need help. |

fineboynl: Have your electrician take out the radio, open the fascia, use rubbing alcohol or any appropriate electrical cleaner, clean it and allow to dry. He may also do same for your steering wheel control and dashboard components. |
