Blackbishop: Agree you may not find one yet for a specific model and year, but if you know the vehicles that use the same transmission and/or different model year; there is always a helping video |

Good day house, Merry xmas and Happy New Year in advance from us at B-Automobile. Acura RL 2008 was one car built to perfection, the sleekness, easy to handle just lovely. I worked on a particular one today and am going to point out few things your Kazeems will do. I was contacted by a customer with a complain of P0128 Cooling System Malfunction. He explained how his temperature guage fluctuates anytime he's driving and how a Kareem he took the car to work some magic and told him all was well till he went to pick and discover all was not well at all. Let me analyse here Most local mechanic will condemn your Thermostat once you complain about temperature issues. Always pay attention to your guage and the little info we provide here The Solution that his local mechanic gave was to remove the spring around the Thermostat and place an empty Thermostat cover back in the car. Which didn't solve the issue. After running diagnosis and checking the Relay for the fan too which I discover was not working optimally, I changed the Thermostat and the Radiator Cooling Fan Control Module and all was back to normal. In summary when you have a cooling system issue always run full diagnosis and correct it and dont go for the easy way out. Note: Don't be deceived that our weather doesn't support Thermostat. O wrong naw. B-Automobile Nigeria Limited 08055347947 2 Likes

Hello Bishop I drive Honda Accord 2003,4 cylinder. After and engine overhaul, I noticed my automatic transmission makes a whinning sound. And selection is erratic after prolonged driving, car movement is no longer smart as before. I serviced the selonoid valves and yet problem persists. I googled the problem and they suggested a bad converter and filter. What do you advice? |
Re: Mechanic Roundtable by Blackbishop(m): 11:47pm On Dec 05, 2020 |
switosman: Good day sir/ma, from your narration I think that your filter was suppose to be replaced and for that Solenoid I dont support the local idea of servicing except it was replaced. And lastly did you scan for any code related to transmission? |

Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor The A/F sensor consist of 2 Oxygen Sensor housed in a common area with common chamber between them. Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor operates on a wider scope not like O² sensor. The A/F Sensor is quite different from Oxygen Sensor. The O2 Sensor measures oxygen through voltage. Air Fuel ratio sensor uses current to measure air to fuel ratio. AF sensor uses minimal current for its operation. This is the major difference apart from the inner construction. SYMPTOMS OF A BAD A/F SENSOR * Rough Idling * Reduces Engine Efficiency * Decreases Fuel Efficiency * Black soot noticeable at the tail pipe Fixing the A/F sensor is more complicated, you need to run a thorough diagnosis. Some other components are involved like the Injector, coil pack, plugs, leakage around the air hoses. So just let an Auto Technician run through. Mostly the code thrown up is P2195, which stems from Faulty O² sensor, or harness or wire gone bad, poor connector, faulty Injector and lastly Faulty ECM - Engine Control Module. So in conclusion run a comprehensive diagnosis to safe you some changes. B-Automobile Nigeria Limited 08055347947

Compliment of the season to you all. I will highlighting few lines of what to do it how to handle a situation that comes up with your car this period on the road or at the villa. * First thing first get these tools in your car a T-10, 10,11 12 spanner, screwdriver, and most especially a fuel pump spare. #That is for you travelling * If your car should start overheating especially on the highway, park at a safe location allow it to cool down very well, then open up the radiator. In this instance few things are involved, it's either your Gasket or a bad Thermostat or a clogged radiator or a leaking cooling system. When it cools down open up top up the water and observe for any Leakages around the cooling system. There is high probability you get to detect the issue with the few points listed above. If it is the Thermostat, your tools comes in handy, your Thermostat is located around the hose delivering water into the engine block. If it is leaking cooling system you have to be extremely patient to observe and identify but from experience one funny part is the radiator that is culprit here. Just get ready to top up and no AC till you drive to a comfy spot. Second thing is your car going off on the road without warning or with a warning. There 3 thing that helps a car to run optimally; Air, Fuel and Spark. Once any of the above items is missing or not at the right % your car will surely give warning or totally shut down. Pay attention to your dashboard for warning lights. For further enquiries just click on my signature 1 Like |

Happy boxing day yall Please who had an idea the current price of a 2001 toyota highlander fan...and also temperature gauge is not working at all, any home fix? |
Re: Mechanic Roundtable by Blackbishop(m): 11:52am On Dec 26, 2020 |
Blitherine: For the fan price it depends. But for the temp guage not working the Coolant Temperature Sensor will be the possible cause. |
Re: Mechanic Roundtable by Blitherine(m): 12:44pm On Dec 26, 2020 |
For the fan price how much is the cheapest i can get it and for the temperature sensor can it be repaired or it must be replaced and if so how much is it...thank you |
