You don't pick up your phone.

I need good quality stabilizer linkages for toyota camry LE V4 2012 . My vin number is 4T4BF1FK1CR170808

GAZZUZZ:


Seems pretty straightforward. Avoid using that gate. Park outside.

Ha ha ha ha . Sarcasm at it's finest

donuba61:

The direction of the fans are ok

Ok

donuba61:
Good day Gazzuzz and other car gurus. Please you people should come to my aid. Am experiencing persistent over heating in my Honda civic 2008. My mechanic said I should change the top cylinder that is like it bad. I met another mechanic who said that I should change my radiator to a new one double cell. He said that if it the top cylinder, that the car will be doing hard starting. Please my ogas, which should I do. The car movement is very OK and there is no leakage from the radiator.

1st of all check your fans to be sure they are working perfectly.

CITEH:


Gazzuzz, good morning. Please my Lexus Es330 is having acceleration issues of recent. Sometimes it moves smoothly and fast, sometimes it lags. I will have to step fully on the gas before my car speeds a little.

My mechanic has changed fuel pump, it stopped for a few weeks then started again. He changed notch sensor, the problem still persists.

Kindly proffer a solution if any please.

Get your fuel injector nozzles serviced and your throttle body cleaned

your problems might start from there[/quoteok

dicksonadams:


Start with a scab

What's a "scab" ?

erico2k2:

Well, I asked a specific question cos Change of Fuell filter is not a regular servicing!

I did not change my fuel filter though. I've never changed my fuel filter

LeJeun3:




The moment your oil light goes off, oil pressure is obtained.

Oil has circulated....

True

LeJeun3:



Define Warming up....

Warming up in the sense that after leaving it parked over night, then the next morning you intend to drive the car to work or something. You need to let it warm up a little and for the oil to circulate etc.

GAZZUZZ:

Whatever

erico2k2:

Well, when was the last time you did full service on your car that involves you changing the fuel and oil filters?

I did my regular servicing just 2 weeks ago

Teibaba:

How long should I warm up my car before driving?


How long should I warm up my car before driving?

It largely depends on the age of your car, and whether or not you use fully synthetic oil. Such modern oils are very light (as in, low viscosity) , and do not take long to coat the engine components. My car is already 8 years old, but uses fully synthetic 0W20 oil, and the car manual says to give it ten seconds before driving away. This would be the same for most modern cars with similarly light oils.

Also, next time you turn your ignition to the ‘on’ position, before you start the engine, have a listen for the sounds the car makes. You may be able to hear a slight whirring sound - and this could be the sound of your fuel pump priming. It's important to let this happen before you start the engine. Give the car a few seconds (try counting to 5), before you start the engine. In my previous car, this sound was clearly audible, and when it stopped, I knew the pump was primed and ready to do its job. Getting into the car, and immediately starting the engine is neither good for the engine, nor the fuel pump. It can be a little harder to tell what's going on with keyless entry systems, they vary from car to car, but once the ignition is on, that fuel pump starts priming.

Perhaps most important of all though, is that you should not drive the car hard until the engine reaches operating temperature - most wear occurs when a car is driven too hard when the engine is cold.

So, switch the ignition on and wait maybe 5 seconds max, then start the engine and give it ten seconds. Don't leave the car running long before you pull away, but once you do, drive gently and accelerate smoothly until you see the needle on the temperature gauge rise a bit, and then you can start having a little more fun. This is far better than letting the car run for a minute or two before pulling away, and then flooring it!

If you have an older car, running on mineral, or heavier semi-synthetic oil, you might let the engine idle a little longer, but I still wouldn't wait much more than 30 seconds before driving gently away.

What link is this for ?

Please I am aware that most mechanics on the island ( Lekki,Ikoyi, Vi and ajah) really don't know what they are doing. I live in Ajah here in Lagos.

The only mechanic I trust is on the mainland his name is Gazzuzz but he doesn't like handling clients from the island . due to reasons best known to him.

Please who can recommend any very competent mechanic on the island for me even down to ajah Please I don't need all those over packaged ones ooohh.

Hello gurus. My car is a toyota 4 plugs camry 2012.

Sometime this year i noticed that the car tends to power down when I'm driving ( the engine just goes off). But when i crank it up again it starts immediately like nothing happened. I took it to a mechanic and he cleaned my throttle body, the engine stalling stopped for about 2 months after cleaning the throttle body.

This issue (engine stalling) while driving started again just yesterday. I really don't know what could be causing this.

Perhaps your fuel pump is gone but then, what do I know when we have the gurus in the house.

It's possible

owunabastard:
Please, house, I have a lexus 300, the hand brake is up ( it goes three stages as you press down the hand brake and also three stages when you pull it up).
Now, it is up and I noticed that my car is hesitating when accelerating. Which position should the hand brake be, whether up or should be pressed down?

Bros abeg return that car to the owner . No be you get am.

Ha ha ha ha radautoworks. Don't mind me jare I was just paranoid at the time . It eventually turned out that nothing was wrong with my radiator. It was one of my fans that had an issue. All is well now though.

I now use liqui moli engine oil (0w20) and liqui moli engine coolant.
