What does BLUE smoke from my exhaust mean? If your car is blowing blue smoke, it’s a clear sign that the engine is burning oil. What happens is that the valve guide seals or piston rings are worn out, and oil is leaking past from where it should be lubricating the moving parts, to the combustion chamber where it’s being burned up with the fuel. If you’re seeing this kind of smoke, check your oil regularly and watch for consumption issues. While an issue that normally should require immediate attention and expensive repairs, including some internal replacement parts, if your vehicle is old and the leak is minimal, it can be carefully managed by topping up the oil on a regular basis. Along with environmental damage, burning oil can cause rough starts, as the process can ruin the car’s spark plugs. There is another reason for blue smoke, and that’s if the car is turbocharged; the smoke being a sign that the blower is in need of rebuilding or replacement...Mechatronist Adams 1 Like |

I changed my engine. A 98 Elantra (Avante) last month end. Now the Rev pic is erratic. Sometimes it goes up like it is revving itself, sometimes it stays normal. This causes some lurching movements at times. Please what could be the cause Nb: when I finished with the change and complained to the mechanic about the gear taking some time to enter reverse directly (unless I put it to drive first) he said it should not bother me. That I should take it to the express and the wahala will stop over time. the gear wahala stopped. And the uneven movement evened out too until last week when my alternator stopped working, and when I changed it, the engine will be going high at will, and there was this movement like the thing is changing gears on its own will while driving sometimes Please your advice will be very welcome. 1 Like |

I drive a Nissan Sentra GXE 2001 model. My car suddenly started stopping whenever am in traffic or when am slowing down, but re-starts again when I turn the ignition. The rev needle goes up and down even when am not reving the car,although it stops when the gear is in neutral or park. What do u think is wrong. Epp me ![]() |
Re: Let's Talk About Car Problems And Instant Solutions by mayor2013: 6:23am On Oct 29, 2015 |
IamChiboi: You need to run a scan on your power train. A lot of factors can cause that. Ranging from weak fuel pump, bad cam sensors, bad speed reference sensors and many more. A scan is a step in the right direction. If you are in lagos and you need solution. Call 08156087872 or 08165520837 |

I drive 2010 matrix and I just discovered that the steering is too hard. The car does not use power steering pump, its electronics. What can I do? |
Re: Let's Talk About Car Problems And Instant Solutions by chemvic: 4:38am On Nov 01, 2015 |
akinloluwao:hmmm, tech world, electronics? I never knew there isn't power steering pump in that car, I have its twin sister Pontiac Vibe 2010. Thanks for enlightening me, pros in the house help out ooo, how do one fix this kind of issue? |
Re: Let's Talk About Car Problems And Instant Solutions by kingreign(m): 7:49am On Nov 01, 2015 |
akinloluwao:Don't drive that car until its fixed.... Its a known defect in EPS for corolla and matrix. You'll need to drop your tyre pressures a bit and see the reaction, of it still gives hard feel, a new EPS steering and ECU is what you need. |
Re: Let's Talk About Car Problems And Instant Solutions by mayor2013: 5:19pm On Nov 01, 2015 |
akinloluwao: Run a scan first. You should get a fault error. Also check your power source (battery voltage) if your battery voltage is low you would experience this. Also your Eps and steering control unit needs to be looked upon. But in the interim checking your battery voltage is a step in the right direction 1 Like |

Re: Let's Talk About Car Problems And Instant Solutions by mayor2013: 9:33pm On Dec 29, 2015 |
kollysnut: A physical inspection needs to be carried out so as to know the failed part, I would not rule out the idea of running a scan on your power train. Call 08156087872 or 08165520837 if you need to solve the problem. Bbpin is 7BE1C522 |

pavlovt: If your D4 light is blinking, your car is passing an information over to you that there is a danger on your transmission. You can run a scan. Sometimes this can be attributed to using the wrong transmission fluid Note: Abro transmission fluid ia a destroyer |
