Gazzuzz, I parked my car for about 2 months, l just discovered the fan doesn't work unless the A.C is on, l called a rewire, he told me he will connect the alternator direct, l asked him to see me next week, l'm scared driving the car out cuz the fan doesn't work unless the A. C is on l would have drive it to your house cuz you're just 2 streets from my place at Oke-ira and the rewire asked me to change the radiator from single to double cuz the car is a Toyota Camry V6....my question is should I allow the rewire to connect the alternator direct and can I drive the car out like that

replete:

is that your first normal car?

2special:
Yeah

GAZZUZZ:


Based on drivers report, engine was sludge filled and still burning oil when sold. Also burning excessive fuel.

dru23:


Oga .. I think you dont want to admit that you are wrong.. It is ok to be wrong... The blue civic never had sludge during the time I was around.. The only reason it will have sludge if the driver that told you it had sludge was selling the Mobil 1 extended performance given to him ,and than using 20w50 ..

Full synethtic oil does not cause sludge at all... below is the picture of the blue civic when it was open up to replace oil seal ... you can clearly tell there is no sludge at all at the time ...

The driver that told you had sludge was either lieing to you ,or you are confusing red civic which had sludge, or you dont want to admit that you were wrong for advising the camry owner to use 20w50 .......

Below picture was the head plug seal that was replaced with parts that I bought myself.. This is common with civic , the head plug seals can cause oil to shorten or leak when worn out .. It is a simple replacement that cost about $5.00 for parts and easy to replace.. I was the one that pointed it out to the mechanic..The head plug seal was a secondary issue after the engine oil seal was replaced, and it didn't occurred right away..


The major reason why the blue civic was sold was due to excessive fuel consumption.. The car was taken to at least two different mechanics. Money was wasted and mechanics were doing trial and error up and down .. One mechanic wanted to do collect 20k naira before touching it.

This is a 2003 car that a mechanic couldn't diagnose, and if I had taken that car to Radauto , am sure I would have gotten to the bottom of fuel consumption.. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't have sold the car ......

According to Gazzuz "start the engine, pick a newspaper and sit down beside it. Fan should start before you get to the entertainment section"

Synthetic is not for everyone.

This car was using mineral oil before it came into Nigeria based on the colour of the internals.

2az-fe is an oil burner.

This is my last response to you. kindly find another thread to derail.

Hi chief Gazzuzz.
Pls, i need ur opinion sir.
A 2009 corolla is making noise when pressing d accelerator only. An exhaust leak has been ruled out by several panel beaters. It was also found that d catalyst is absent (by hollow sound made on percussing the tube underneath, even though no error code related to catalyst seen on scanning), mpg ranges btw 18-20 (city)
CEL occasionally comes on, with P0455 and P0441 codes.
The noise is not very loud but I'm uncomfortable with it.
What do u advise sir?

mrmichael1:
Good day Mr. Gazzuzz

Thanks for always.

Someone just had a Rav4 2006 SUV (2AZ engine) from US and wants to service the engine, 0W-20 and 5W-20 are indicated on the oil cap.

Which oil do you recommend?

Thank you for your time.

Good evening house. Please I need you advise on what can cause P0014 and P0017 error code. The error code started displaying after fixing rattling noise on cold start in my Toyota corrola 2009. Thank you

GAZZUZZ:


How was it fixed? Replaced or repaired.

If repaired, now you should replace it.

If replaced, then check timing, if timing correct, replace it again.

Xpac123kid:
Thanks Gazzuzz.
I don't really know how it was fixed, but am sure it was replaced because my mechanic opened a part of the engine and brought out the part causing the noise. Since then the noise has stopped just that it now gives P0014 and P0017 error. Do you know any good Mechanic in Kaduna to help take a look at it, or should I go back to the mechanic and inform him to check the timing?

GAZZUZZ:


I was very clear in my response .

Good Morning, Oga Gazzuzz
Please between muscle Camry 2007/08 and Toyota corolla 2005/6? Both cars are registered.

Which one would you advise as a first-time owner?
Just a young man of 27 years old.
I'm looking at these two cars. Suggestion and advice, please!


Thank you very much, sir.

froshbuddy:
Dear Gazzuzz, My Camry 2001, when the engine is cold and I drive around and come to a stop the idle is fine. When the engine finally warms up and I'm driving and start pressing on the brake and slowing down, the rpm slowly drop to about 300 which causes the whole car to shake and feels like its about to stall out. When I lift my foot off the brake the rpm needle goes up to 900. The part that is making me mad is stepping on the brakes and the whole car shaking like crazy. Most time I had to alternate between Neutral and Drive. Please help.
