MotorGuru:thanks for ur response. Im seeking for ur opinion sir. Is it tru that, if d valve stem is changed, d engine might will be smoking? Ur response is all i need. |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 5:53pm On Apr 08, 2019 |
babyboy4every1:possible. if engine smokes when you rev engine to 4000-7000 rpm and you see smoke , your rings are toast. |

I drive a 2005 KIA SORENTO suv which i bought from a friend. I noticed that wen i want to start de car most times, it does as if de battery is low and de lights on de dashboard will be so faint but it eventually starts. Although it doesn't occur everytime. I thought it was de battery so i changed de battery to de one on my other car but it still occurs. i called a battery technician who checked and said dat de battery is OK and de alternator is charging well also. What do u think might be de issue. |

MotorGuru:thank u so much 4 ur time in responding 2 every questions asked. I'm a newbie when it comes to car. Dis is my 1st car &im nt conversant wt d terminologies like rpm etc. All i needed 2 knw is, is it worth it 2 ring d engine or get another? Or if i get a gud engineer like u, will i stil enjoy d engine wen ringed? 2. Im planning 2 buy a car for transportation next week, should i allow d thermostat removed cos d engineer we went to inspect it said car for transportation doesnt need a thermostat, to avoid overheating. Thank u 4 ur time. It wld hv been better, if i can hv ur contact. Instead of me bombarding u wt questions here, i wld just put a call tru &discuss it once. |

May God punish all kazeems in nigeria. I installed my car thermostat this morning. I travelled 2 ladipo &met with a heavy traffic, 2 my surprise d temperature guage was stabilized. I was wondering why it was removed initially. All i hv nt done is to revert d fan to default. Will luk 4 a good rewire to do that for me 2moro. 2 Likes |

Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by babyboy4every1: 10:30pm On Apr 11, 2019 |
thebigkendo:nw i undestand ur point. I also believe dere cld be issue. Though, i bought it frm someone bt in d paper, it ws less than 6 month d car was cleared. D neatness &cleaness confirmed dat. If dere ws a problem initially, i think i should hav knwn by now. I travelled to ladipo yesterday &2 maryland 2day, all journey from abeokuta &dere ws no issue at all. Or wht do u tink. Thanks. |

Good day, I saw a Nissan Quest 2001 recently and it interests me. Everything seems to be working fine but when I told a friend, he advised not to buy it because "they say" it gives issues. Please I need some candid professional advice before taking the steps. What issues am I likely to expect and how easy is it to get parts and repairs done? Thanks in advance |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by seanfer(m): 10:44am On Apr 13, 2019 |
daves2ng: Please if its a must you get a space bus I will advise you look for Toyota Sienna... Nissan is complicated especially Nigerian Used that you don't know much about the Maintenance history... It is not a rugged vehicle, put to consideration the availability of parts and Technician 2 Likes |

Bash26: Engine of not more than 150k is what you're stressing yourself over? If your engine is damaged and your technician can't rebuild it why not junk that old engine and get another? |
