labiola: Start from basics. Check level and condition of transmission fluid, scan tranny to check for codes. |

ik121: Could be a few things. Master cylinder, air in brake lines etc. Proper diagnosis required. What's the repair history like? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by radautoworks: 4:31pm On Sep 20, 2018 |
ik121: Need more information. We don't like remote diagnosis because it could be really simple when we finally see it. Is it really hard when you press down or really loose and goes down to the floor immediately? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ik121: 4:43pm On Sep 20, 2018 |
oluwaseunla:Never faulty. Jus minor issues like brake pad, suspensions and oil change. This is d first time something like this is hapening. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ik121: 4:48pm On Sep 20, 2018 |
radautoworks:Tnx for ur response. Unfortunately i'm not in lagos. Yes it's really loose and goes down to the floor. I just managed it to work this morning. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by oluwaseunla(m): 4:52pm On Sep 20, 2018 |
ik121: You really have to do a proper diagnosis to fix this one. |

ik121: Sight unseen, sounds like the master cylinder. When you are stopped, double pump on the brake and then see if it slowly continues to creep down. That should be confirmation. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ik121: 1:52am On Sep 21, 2018 |
radautoworks:Ok ma. Plz is the master cylinder repairable or i have to buy new parts? Plz could u arm me with possible knwledge/involvements? Sorry 4 bugging u alot. |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by radautoworks: 3:32am On Sep 22, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ: I doubt it with what he's describing but if he does that check we'll know. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by radautoworks: 3:34am On Sep 22, 2018 |
ik121: What kind of car is this btw? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ik121: 6:45am On Sep 22, 2018 |
radautoworks:Issue has been resolved. The brake fluid got low so more hydraulic was topped to maximum. Tnx 4 ur assistance. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by oluwaseunla(m): 7:47am On Sep 22, 2018 |
ik121: It is wrong to top your brake fluid except there is a leak. Are you sure you brake pads are OK? Besides, a brake fluid that low should have triggered the brake light on the dash. You didn't mention the light. 3 Likes |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ik121: 8:21am On Sep 22, 2018 |
oluwaseunla:Yeah d brake light on d dash didnt trigger. I drove it to my mech and complained to him. He requested i open d bonnet then he comfirmed d brake fluid was at minimum, bought hydraulic then he topped it to maximum and pumped d brake and issue went away. I drove it whole of ystdy nd brake didnt go down to d floor again. Ur input is highly appreciated. |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by radautoworks: 7:44pm On Sep 22, 2018 |
ik121: Hmm... I think something is still wrong but okay. Let's see how long this lasts. Drive carefully for now. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ik121: 8:27pm On Sep 22, 2018 |
radautoworks:Definitely. Gratitude...! |

My Ogas in the house, good day sir. Kindly help to escalate possible solution to my 2007 Camry issue. My rpm on starting the engine stays at 1500 and goes to between 1000 and 1200 as soon as I engage the gear. I think something is wrong with it. Thanks in advance. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by CarMecx(m): 11:31am On Sep 24, 2018 |
Probably your engine power has been 'raised' as it is commonly said to compensate for the load of the air-conditioned that is why when the transmission is engaged the rpm drops and then when the A.C. is turned on it would drop slightly still to optimum idle speed |

Oga GAZZUZZ and other esteemed learned ones in the house, Good day to you all. Please my small suzuki bus(7 passengers) always drains oil when there is no sign of leakage. I have to constantly top the oil to get it back to the normal level. How can I fix or manage this. Thanks as I anticipate your reponses. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 12:44pm On Sep 24, 2018 |
themonk: replace the engine with a well maintained used one. You will find it in ladipo |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by themonk(m): 12:54pm On Sep 24, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ:Choi, can I manage it till it breaks down completely so I can save money for the new engine or will it spoil other things? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 1:01pm On Sep 24, 2018 |
themonk: as long as you top oil regularly and change oil filters at reasonable intervals, the only damge will be to your pocket and the environment. 1 Like |
