Mystery power drain in a Toyota RAV4 This customer had changed his alternator, gone through two brand new batteries in four months and still had a battery drain problem. Car came in yesterday and took about 7 hours to figure out the problem. We stop charging at 4 hours (20k). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPpRFnfSuu4 As part of the repair we are going to return the car to factory wiring and reinstall his original alternator. The diagnosis fee will be applied to the repair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hQZUNXBfck |

2010 Subaru legacy came in with a LONG history of repair. Single owner, purchased brand new. And I paraphrase... "Slow idling, the car jerks almost stalling. Great performance had deteriorated. Replaced fuel pump and when it did not improve the filter too. Car got better for a very short while and performance relapsed to what it was. New mechanic made it worse....had a tapping sound from the left side valves. During the process of gaining access to the troubles valves, the left side exhaust sprocket got damaged, had to bring for replacement before the job could be completed. tapping noise disappeared but repeated scan revealed advance timing issues and yet the car had no compression to move not to talk about accelerating. Had a to call another technician that said he has Subaru experience. He pointed out catalytic converter issue and got it done locally. The car can now accelerate but it still drags and jerk at low speed especially when the AC is on. It reduces when the AC is switched off. Now I have some of my cluster lights on including check engine light and low oil for a car that was supposedly serviced with oil change last week. " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bHlkqxDT4w TIMING. From what we've seen, it's the timing that's wrong. We are going to try that tomorrow and see if problem stops. |

sheffyUTD:okay. You know context can be lost in text. |
Re: Repairs by sheffyUTD(m): 9:17pm On Oct 10, 2019 |
radautoworks: I get. Please what could be the reason for vehicle losing balance in speed, above 80 specifically. I have done wheel balancing and alignment like three times, changed the tyres and shocks. Plus could delay tune-up cause slight fuel consumption and engine running noise? |
Re: Repairs by radautoworks: 9:33pm On Oct 10, 2019 |
sheffyUTD: Please elaborate. Yes, delayed tune up could cause increase in fuel consumption and noise. |

radautoworks: Nice job you are doing. I need a personal scanner to add to my DIY tool. Do you think you can get me one. I try calling but the lady at the other end claims you are always busy. Please when can I reach you? |
Re: Repairs by radautoworks: 7:10am On Oct 11, 2019 |
afoife: Thank you. She is not lying. I don't even get to sit down and answer my phone. I usually have someone who wants to speak to me in front of me. If you can leave your number when you call I'll try to call ![]() |

radautoworks: Ma'am, work more on your online presence. Website(currently down), Twitter and Instagram. I made referral but the lady couldn't make contact but i had to send her the address. I don't know if she later was there. It was in regards to serpentine belt purchase and replacement. |
Re: Repairs by radautoworks: 12:30pm On Oct 11, 2019 |
sacramento1212: ? Very confused. Website hasn't been down at any point https://www.mrtransmissionmilexnigeria.com/ We do not have a Twitter and Instagram @radautoworks requests are usually responded to immediately or in a maximum of 10 minutes

Re: Repairs by sacramento1212: 12:33pm On Oct 11, 2019 |
radautoworks: Then it means you have a new website because the correspondences exchange with your staff was done via http://raduautoworks.com/ domain. |
Re: Repairs by sheffyUTD(m): 12:44pm On Oct 11, 2019 |
radautoworks: How long does it take to do tune up. If speeding and it passes over a little rough patch it loses stability; like dancing a little disco. |
Re: Repairs by radautoworks: 2:27pm On Oct 11, 2019 |
sacramento1212: That's our email not our website. I've added it to my signature. |
Re: Repairs by sacramento1212: 2:45pm On Oct 11, 2019 |
radautoworks: Noted. Just that many not aware of the website you just added to your signature will always assume that radautoworks.com is even though it's restricted to emails(just like me). If i were you, i will redirect www.radautoworks.com to https://www.mrtransmissionmilexnigeria.com/ so that whenever anyone tries visiting(radautoworks.com) with the hope or understanding that it's your website, it will be redirected. 1 Like |

sacramento1212: Completely forgot to do that. Was wondering why the website wasn't getting any traction lmao. I attached the website to us on Google but forgot to redirect. Will do it this evening. Stores pick their own emails but websites are assigned and maintained by corporate. I'll just redirect the domain. 1 Like |

Couldn't accept this car today. About 50 DTCs in all systems, car wouldn't pull and had to use generic settings, it was 7 hours for a teardown of the transmission and we didn't think it was the transmission anyway. We think impact messed up multiple computers and also electronic issues. Another purchase by a buyer without previous inspection.. SIDENOTE: CAN YOU HEAR THE TIREDNESS IN MY VOICE? I WAS BARELY COHERENT. THIS WEEK NAH WA O! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j5Vw0e8XNU |
Re: Repairs by sacramento1212: 7:36pm On Oct 11, 2019 |
radautoworks: Your voice though. You need to chew some bitterkola ![]() I guess this week is one of those very stressful ones. |
Re: Repairs by radautoworks: 7:38pm On Oct 11, 2019 |
sacramento1212: What does kola do?I think I need sacks of it. Today is the earliest I left the shop all week. It's like all of Lagos crashed us this week. They came from everywhere! One drove 3 hours to get to us... |
Re: Repairs by sacramento1212: 8:00pm On Oct 11, 2019 |
radautoworks: Bitter kola has a lot benefits(you can Google it up). I chew that whenever i have voice/cough issues with a tablespoon of natural honey. There are days like that ma'am. The most important thing is customers being satisfied at the end of the day. More strength to carry on. 2 Likes |
