Hello Sir What's your take of Ford Escape 2008 Is it economical and cost effective in terms of maintenance and fuel efficiency? Thanks sir |

kingreign: No the ABS light isn't on. Just the TPMS light. I guessed as much. I'll have the tyres re-gauged and readjusted to 30. And if the light is still on, I'd let you know. Thank you so much. |

thebigkendo: Thank you. Please what's the driver door jam? Is it that part of the car close to the seat adjustment panel? |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by Inception(m): 9:11pm On Jan 16, 2019 |
kingreign: I don't think this affects the ABS, being a Toyota. But the TPMS light will definitely be on. And true, your Tire pressure should not be more than 30PSI. |

ItsJazmine:your tyre valves are they metals c type or black rubber type? Where is your location? |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by kingreign(m): 9:19pm On Jan 16, 2019 |
Inception: Toyotas 04-06 have indirect TPMS readings. Meaning the wheel speed sensors take readings and monitoring of all wheel rotation. Any variation in a wheel speed triggers the TPMS malfunction light to come on. |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by Nobody: 9:30pm On Jan 16, 2019 |
kingreign: Wow, I don't know. What's the difference? My location is Lagos |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by kingreign(m): 9:40pm On Jan 16, 2019 |
ItsJazmine: If your valve are metallic type you have a TPMS sensor if its black rubber type you need to check your ABS system. Since you're in Lagos, ask Gazzuzz to refer you to someone to reset the system for you. |

kingreign: It's a 2007 car though. Does it apply too? |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by kingreign(m): 9:46pm On Jan 16, 2019 |
ItsJazmine: You may have the metallic valves installed. And they may had been damaged. Did you damaged your tyre recently, did you change alloy wheels or change a tyre or work on a tyre recently? |

obinnanelson4: Sorry for the predicament sir. There are 5 possibilities : 1. You have a coolant leak clamps not properly tightened 2. Your cooling system is not properly bled( presence of air pockets/ bubbles in your cooling system) 3. Your Radiator may be blocked 4. You have a bad water pump. 5. Bad / improper operation of cooling fan. Start with checking the operation of your cooling fan. It should suck in air when operating. Then by properly bleeding your system. If that checks out, check and inspect your water pump for leaks( this would be easy if you have coolant and not water in your system). If bad replace . Finally , impact all hoses and clamps. Then inspect your radiator, flush if blocked. If blockage is bad, replace radiator. Keep us posted on this forum on how it pans out. |

Good day, Pls I have a honda accord 2005. My mechanic changed the gear oil instead of the usual top up. While using the Car,it stopped and will only move backwards when put it in reverse mode. In drive mode, it doesn't move ffwd. Pls help |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 11:03pm On Jan 16, 2019 |
Creamhoney11: You need to urgently drain the oil from your gear fast! The gear oil your mech put in will ( or may have already ) damage your gear. Look for 3 liters of genuine Honda DW1 atf ( contact Luvinhubby on the forum) for its availability and perform a drain and refill. If it starts returning to normal, then perform drain and refill 3 more times. |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by Creamhoney11: 11:34pm On Jan 16, 2019 |
MotorGuru: Thank you so much Sir. I just heard that the car is not starting as i had to park and leave it in the villa when the issue arose. My father had the gear box was changed , still it is not starting. Hope it is not late to drain the gear oil. Thank you |

MotorGuru:Sir, the cooling fan has been checked and confirmed it is sucking in air towards the engine operationally. Next I will go and have the radiator flushed internally then hose and clamps checked like you said and see how it goes. will keep you posted. Hello everyone, the radiator was removed and taken to where it was flushed. it came back looking very neat. the hose clamps and clips were all fastened after which water was added and the mechanic bleed it to remove air bubbles. He top it again to reach required levels. I drove the car arround for about 10mins, came back and parked the car. the mechanic inspected under the car for drops of water but found non. when the engine cool Abit he opened the radiator and behold the level of coolant has dropped and moved to fill up the reserve water tank. He refilled the radiator and replaced the pressure cap and I drove it round again yet the same thing happened. Pls my fellow gurus what else should we do. |

Hi MotorGuru, Happy Sunday. I noticed this afternoon that my engine immobilizes light blinks when I lock the car, but if I put the key in the ignition it stops. I’ve never really taken notice of it before. Please is it normal? |
