Good evening house, please how do I rectify a P0420 Toyota - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1 error code. I just replaced the coils, spark plugs, air filter, and serviced the injectors. |

GAZZUZZ: Is there a way I can service it or clean it |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by dicksonadams(m): 1:20pm On Jul 12, 2020 |
Hgold: No, however for the catalytic converter you can get an O2 spacer instead, it is a cheaper alternative. Available on jumia. Check tutorials on YouTube so you can guide your panel beater on how to install. |

Gazzuzz, good morning sir. Plz how many litres of transmission fluid does honda accord EX 2010 need. My mechanic changed the transmission fluid and used 4litres but this morning i noticed transmission fluid dripping to the floor and the mechanic said a hose had burst. I am just wondering if he over filled it and the pressure was too much. Now he is saying i should buy another 3litres of transmission fluid to top it. I also want to find out how i can book an appointment with you sir. |

P215/60R16 94V Front 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2 or bar, 29 psi) Rear 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2 or bar, 29 psi) Car Gurus in the house, Above info is from my ES300 owner's manual. Currently, my tyres are inflated up to about 40 psi. Most vulcanizers automatically target 40 psi, more if you aren't checking! Please this is a bit confusing as 29 psi seems really low compared to 40 psi. Cc: Gazzuz, Nurey, Heavenlybang, others. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by HeavenlyBang(m): 11:05am On Jul 13, 2020 |
Observer007: Buy a gauge and deflate them. 40 is too much. |

Good afternoon everyone.. Please my 07 lexus es350 vibrates a bit when I'm on high speed( as from 80miles upward) What can be the issue? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 1:17pm On Jul 13, 2020 |
madgoat: Transmission requires 3.8liters of oil (drain and refill) With the fact that it leaked, it is very possible you will need more. |

Observer007: I will answer with a real life story. A client came into the workshop with complains of suspension being to hard on rough roads. She paid a suspension diagnosis fee of ₦10,000. We drove car in to workshop, checked all tyres, they were all above 58psi, we reduced them to 30psi. And drive it out again. Gave her the car to test drive and she had no complaints . 4 Likes |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by madgoat(m): 1:26pm On Jul 13, 2020 |
GAZZUZZ: Thanks so much. How can i book an appointment to come to your workshop? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by benedictgold(m): 1:30pm On Jul 13, 2020 |
GAZZUZZ: Thanks.. I just change 4 tyres, did wheel balancing and alignment on Saturday but it still the same thing.. Someone is saying it is the cv axle but I'm sceptical |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 2:44pm On Jul 13, 2020 |
benedictgold: if the vibrations increase when you accelerate , then the inner side c.v axles are the most likely culprits. |

How do I rectify issue with my EOD 2004. In the morning or when d weather is cold, the car doesn't rev beyond 2000rpm. But after driving for few mins and I switch off and restarts d car it starts normally and rev well. During d day or when the temperature is Normal I don't experience this. My mechanic said it's the cold start censor that is failing have changed it but issue still persists. He has advised I change the plugs. Please what can be done so I don't end up spending money of plugs that won't resolve d issue. Cc Gazzuzz and other gurus in d house. |

kingreign:Baba how far. My car (010 camry) started consuming fuel more than usual. Scanned and got three code for.... * mass airflow sensor *faulty ignition coil *knock sensor I don watch utube video come on how to detect bad mass airflow sensor, they said if the car is idling u should pull out the sensor if the car offs then your sensor is working. Amazingly i tried it and my car shut off. Does it mean the sensor is still good? Although my mechanic is disputing this. Shld i go ahead and change all these?? Thanks in advance. |
