The day I bought it, it was ok, but after I told my mechanic to changes the oil, ever since then my oil had been leaking.

So I called him today, and he said 3k to change the oil filter .

Secondly, he advised me to raise the jeep, that is too low, after which I did, and I just discovered that the car started making nosie. And when I took it to his place again, he said the left side spring broke and it will cost me 5k

He adviced me to by tokunbo tyre also, which he said 15k each.

Good day all.
Please help, the battery sign on my Honda civic 2008 come up, I took it to a rewire who check n said the alternator is good that may be it not communicating with the brain box again that he has to bypass the sign if I want it off. I was not satisfied with his recommendations and I took it to another rewire who recommended I change the alternator that the copper coil in d alternator has burnt. I change the alternator but the battery sign is still showing. Note the car drive well n does not do any hard starting. Please car experts here, what could be the problem?

Check engine light should not be ignored at any time... It means there is a problem and you need to fix it for the optimal performance of your car.
The knock sensor is located behind the manifold.
The sensor does not cost much (2k-5k).

Your mechanic kazeem is a dirty, filthy thief. Changed oil but not filter? Raise a Jeep? What oil did he put in the car? It better not be mobil xhp, abro or another 20w50. Please quickly take the car to a REPUTABLE place to know the extent of sabotage he has done to your car. The guy knows you know nothing about cars and is fleecing you.

What brand of car and year of manufacturing
If it is toyota black probe it with multimeter u supposed to have 12v,5v supplying to the sensor also ground must be on the sensor.
Cylinder four is misfiring could be coil,plug,injector,compression issues u need a professional technicians to troubleshoot this for you to avoid spending unnecessarily.Kindly look for one.

your O2 sensors wiring need to be checked, your mass airflow sensors need to be checked and clean, your throttle body needs cleaning too, these are basic maintenance people tend not to do in Nigeria and you end up with clogged systems.
your pic 2 of 4, you might need to clean or replace that sensor, But I'm sure there are pros in here who might add more!

Some Mechanic use one oil weight for all cars, it is a pathetic state, I even blame the car owners for not taking 5mins to read about the fluid requirements of their car, I blame the owners!

Please house, I have some issues with my Camry 2005.

Firstly, I observed the engine oil keeps draining everyday ...I changed the oil 3weeks ago and to my surprise, the oil is almost dried up..please what can be the cause?? (I’m using mobi 2000 semi synthetic)

Secondly, I observed it always take time before the fan starts working especially when I drive without putting on the A.C...Some said I should remove the thermostat so it doesn’t spoil the gasket in the long run while some said I should leave it the way it is.... please any suggestions on what to do?
