please I need expert opinion. my Mitsubishi Chariot (GDI) suddenly stopped after a sound while on motion. called my mechanic who informed me that the Timing belt has cut and that I have to buy a new engine. please is this in line because the price he's quoting for a tokunbo engine don weak me

your car;s engine is an interference engine (meaning if timing belts cut, the valves will hit the piston)

I would strong suggest you replace, due to lack of competent mechanics.


I would suggest though you reach out to Radautoworks on this forum.

the back wheels of my car makes a whistling sound, what could be the cause and remedy

Check the following:

1. Dust cover plate behind the disc or drum brakes( is it touching the brake disc?)
2. Brake pad condition(is it fully worn?)-if yours is is equipped with rear disc brakes
3. brake shoe lining condition/ parking brake adjustment.

Hello everyone, I reside in Ibadan-bodija axis; kindly help recommend any competent mechanic around here please.

My car sometimes suddenly turn off while in motion; slow motion, turning on the AC makes things worst. Well, I’ve changed the fuel pump and did a couple of scan to detect the fault..

I’ve changed 3 coils, 4 plugs and 4 ’nostles’ , till now the issue still persists.

Who do you think Is capable to get this fixed without hassles With considerable amount, here in Bodija ?

Dear Gurus in-house, I did scan and try all I could with my rewire, to no avail, there is no check engine light on in the dashboard, every other thing works fine except that the car do trip off once in a while, we have changed parts (fan, fuel pump , fuel filter and few other things) the rewire suggests I buy brainbox #140k, I don't just want to start buying parts just to discover it's another that is the issue, moreso the money no be beans ooo.
My thinking is that it's a mechanical issue and not electrical.
Im suspecting the engine oil, the last mech used Mobil 1, though the recommended is total quartz9000 but the mech said they are both same synthetic and same viscosity.
The car is Peugeot 407. The results from the scan is on speed sensors and some other minor.

Get someone who has PP2000 to scan your vehicle

for No. 1 , the reservoir needs to have coolant at a minimum level. top up to that level. also check your radiator coolant level.

for 2, you may have bought defective bearings. Aslo ensure that the dusct shield( the pan behind the brake disk is not turning ) and also ensure your brakes are not binding.

for 3, Ensure your brakes are not binding. Scan your car for codes.
