GAZZUZZ:"parasite" please explain in a lame man term |

danielconstant:Any component or device that discharges(kills) your battery after you shut down your engine could be termed a "parasite". So let's say there's a light bulb in ur trunk (booth) that remains on unnoticed even after u shut down ur engine with the booth closed. In that case the bulb could be called a parasite because it would drain ur battery overnight. 1 Like |

Hello Gazzuz, I hear a glocking sound from my steering wheel... When I am on bad road or even not on motion and I just shake the steering wheel from left to right and back. It doesn't affect vehicle performance like swerving etc. But the sound is discomforting What could be the resolution 2009 Toyota Corolla 1.8 |

justphillips: Please do thorough inspection of the vehicle, I mean check vin and also get a good and trusted mechanic to do Pre Purchase Inspection. Make sure you use recommended fluids, don’t just throw parts whenever there’s fault always scan. It’s a nice and durable car. Congrats. |

seanfer: Thanks man. What about fuel economy? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by eRex(m): 8:47am On Oct 24, 2019 |
GAZZUZZ: Thanks a lot.... Please how do I trouble shoot which is the actual cause. So far... The car "something" drifts to the left - bad roads ... Pot holes... I feel the glocking sound... If I'm not on motion... And I shake steering from left to right very fast, I feel it too.. Aside that... Driving is ok except for the noise from the steering. Also how dangerous is it cos am already skeptical about driving it out |

Hello gurus in the house!!! I just acquired a Honda accord 2001 model, I was adviced to swap the nozzle to a Honda Civic 2000 model to help with better fuel economy, pls what are the pros and cons of this swap? Thanks in anticipation, I just replaced the Catalytic converter to a new one. The fuel consumption is fair but want to get the best. |

I just saw a product in the market Mobil 2000 5w30 Its semi synthetic and the distributor is selling at a retail price of #5000 He claims the demand is growing because Mobil 1 is too expensive. Does anyone know about this Mobil product in Nigeria. It hasn't been discussed on NL. https://www.mobil.com/english-pe/passenger-vehicle-lube/pds/glxxmobil-super-2000-5w30-10w30 |

See me see trouble ooo, I just replaced the fuel pump of my 1996 Accord with Toyota/ Lexus fuel pump which the guy claimed is the best and I drove it for just three days and the engine did not start again. Now I was told the new pump is bad. Please what is the cause ? Or should I just buy tokunbo? |

Hello house, I have a 2010 Camry SE v4. My mechanic uses the Total Quartz 5000 SL (20W-50) oil. Is it a good oil? Also, I currently use a 225/50R17 tire and I’m looking to change it to a bigger size so the vehicle doesn’t appear too low (I don’t want to raise it as suggested by mechanic). Please recommend tire sizes or should I stick to this one?Thank you. |
