GAZZUZZ: I fixed the AC fixed today, the compressor was completely knocked, the condenser was also blocked. Had to change the 2 components. Lesson learnt; always use a competent AC technician. Thanks Gazzuz 1 Like |

Thanks for this suggestion, I had to check d fuse box under d dash after I had remotely powered the power window motors independently, I discovered that d fuse for passenger windows was not having a positive feed, I then gave it the positive feed, initially, d rear window behind d drivers seat and d front passenger window worked fine, but, eventually, the rear window behind d drivers seat stopped working, but continued giving me d clicking sound, don't know what went wrong again, presently, after d fuse work, both windows in front are working, but d rear windows aren't, but only gives me d clicking sound, I think, I will try ur method out and see if it works, if it doesn't, I will have to change d main power window switch on d driver's side. Perhaps, that also, might be d culprit. adanny01: |

Pls help! I changed both the engine and gear box of my Corolla 2005 and picked it up from my mechanic yesterday. On my way home, the car started shaking badly, the check engine light, which had always be on, started flashing and the car lost power. The shaking was particularly bad while idling at traffic lights; but this stop if on neutral. Also from the moment I picked it, I started perceiving some foul smell, like oil burning. Pls what could be responsible for these issues? |

Good day Oga Gazzuzz Please I noticed something recently on my car Lexus ES 350, when driving and all the accessories such as the AC, front light and CD player are on, after a while the battery error signal do appear on the dashboard and when I switched off the accessories , it goes off.... this is common mostly at night , there was a time I switched off the engine when I saw the error but the battery failed to restart the engine and I had to use another batter to start and the same battery continue working. The battery is new and less than 2 months old and I have also asked a technician to check the radiator but all are working wel since the battery start the car normally without any issue and the battery is also working fine. Can you advise on the possible solution |

ello Oga Gazzuzz and other pros in the house oo. My Honda CRV 00 doesn't shift gear anymore.i just got the car (Naija used) and everything was working fine until my recent trip when passersby called my attention to oil gush from underneath the car while inside lasgidi traffic...i parked the car luckily my mecho was with me, he did some first aid fixing,got some oil to enable us drive the car home. next day on way to drop car for mechanic(10mins drive) for permanent fix, i perceived burnt smell.mechanic said the hose that links transmission to radiator for cooling transmission is the culprit and it was changed and remedied. new ATF bought and the car was driving well until 8days after when the car was so sluggish in moving,mechanic said gear/transmission is gone and will need a replacement .....i scanned the car and i got these codes.... then i checked online and i got this descriptions.. P0501 powertrain,vehicle speed sensor PO135 O2 sensor heater circuit malfunction bank1 sensor1 P1337 crankshaft speed fluctuation PO141 circuit to duo sensor.bank0 sensor2 P0514 Battery temperature sensor circuit GAZZUZZ: |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by rottenPussy: 11:12am On Dec 09, 2018 |
Oga GAZZUZZ, pls help, I think I'm being extorted. I took my car to my mechanic for basic oil change earlier today. But to my supprise, he claim to have discovered some faults. He said one of the engine holder is damaged, and that the 3 Boris linked to the sharft are spoilt. Although I noticed unusual stiffness when steering the wheel, and that the front of the car is almost touching the ground, but I assumed that is due to small tire size. The guy now is charging me 15k for the fixing, including oil replacements, is that a fair price, or I should change my mech

rottenPussy: Looks like a 2az. Is it a camry? The CV joint bearings if bad would cause excessive vibrations when vehicle is in motion and torque from engine is applied. In most cases where the bearings are bad, I usually recommend a complete axle change on both sides (company policy) As for oil change and C.V bearings and labour costing 15k well you must be using very low quality oil. Sadly your car is already apart and now is not the time to decide, so just pay the man and change mechanics in future. Meanwhile, you have very interesting front left swaybar links. 1 Like |

Oga GAZZUZZ and other experts in the house, pls help. The car jacks, shakes and consumes so much fuel since I changed the engine and gearbox. The RPM is below 1. My Mech has not returned from Lagos and I need help urgently as I stay in Abuja. Please help me. ALADE4J2: |

diportivo:It was my mistake actually. I left my car key when I travelled, and only came back to see the mess that has been done to the car |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by rottenPussy: 5:44pm On Dec 09, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ:Well, Labour is not inclusive in the 15k. The car in question is Carmy 04. I use the oil in the attached with oil treatment. I change the oil 2month at maximum. Is that a bad practice? Should I change my oil type? I don't really know much about cars, I only do as advised. About the joint, he has fixed the one he considered as damaged. The engine seat in that area is to be fixed tomorrow at about 5k. According to him, what frustrated the joint is the unparallel engine position. Hopefully after that the wheel will get back to normal. Lastly, what tyre size can give camry 04 good land clearance? My current tyre size is 205/65R15 1 Like |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ALADE4J2: 7:43pm On Dec 09, 2018 |
Thanks for your response. That means I will wait for my mechanic. I will seek further clarifications here on whatever he tells me; I don’t just trust him again after all the assurances he gave me that everything would be okay if I changed the engine and the gear box which I spent almost N300k on, excluding workmanship.

My Honda baby boy 02 model had similar case of high fuel consumption. My mechanic suggested checking my catalyst nd a new one was bought n fixed but still takes up fuel. My car doesn't start on park unless neutral, wat could be the fault Secondly, the car jerks n sluggish on RPM 3-4. Pls wat could be the problem I base in Apo, abuja Pls I need help n advice oga gazzuz Easy fix, replace crank position sensor ( located under crank pulley) replace idle speed sensor, replace 02 sensor. If you in lagos contact me 08023251039. The restriction is because the car is in limp mode caused by the crank position error. The other 2 errors will cause excessive fuel consumption and erratic engine idle speed.[/quote] |
