GAZZUZZ:


Any history of overheating?

No previous history of overheating but once the water starts moving to the reservoir the next this is for the car to start overheating.

Thanks a bunch Gazzuz. So grateful

Radiators inability to keep temp at operating temperature. Coolant is boiling.

Check fan flow direction, check for mud in radiator and if any take it to carwash for back washing .

If all this does not work, replace radiator.

Hi everyone , my matrix sometimes last 2weeks entered the gutter and after bringing it out , notice the inner rim bend on the wheel cover . This week I noticed my steering started to shake and I was advised to go for wheel balancing and alignment . I changed two tyres . The rims where bent back to normal for me and they did the balancing and alignment . The car steering kept shaking , took it for another alignment somewhere else but the steering is still vibrating . Please can anyone help me with a solution , car drives well steering just shakes only when on speed . Thanks

U can't "bend a rim to normal", the slightest of indentation would casue vibrations at high speed. Get a new rim

Hi, I'm also planning to get a Peugeot 307 (in Abuja) sometime in August. Just wanted to know how much you got yours, so I can guage my budget accordingly. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello house, how can I fix my Nissan Premier wheel/hands. I have changed the shaft series of time but still make hell of noise after some days.

I need car maintenance WhatsApp group please

Please what could be the problem my camry 2004, the gear is jerking after trying to fix it i decided to buy tokumbo gear but still problem is repeating a rewire is telling me that my brain box is bad that i should change it but am not sure if he is saying the right thing.

Can faulty upper and lower arms bushion at the back of a Honda pilot make the car to be swerving while on speed


I've changed the 4 linkages but still experiencing the swerve on high way and my shock Absorbers are all okay also

I bot a naija used 2001 camry, over 3 months have been driving it. I notice that if I accelerate pas 40mph it will be vibrating secondly the fuel consumption is high. I took to mechanic they told me I will need wheel alignment.
I now asked the mechanic about my thermostat whether they have removed it he said yes. That the fan is connected directly to the battery. And the radiator is double cell. Am thinking to install thermostat so that to control the fan. Any implications?

Kindly help on how i can resolve the problems associated with the codes above.
Though i got to suspect the reason for the Evap emission code is due to a hose mistakenly broken by my rewire that connected to the evap solenoid close to the air filter casement.
while scanning the car, i plotted the voltage graph for the 2 O2 sensors but the O2 bank 1 sensor 2 is only showing 0 volts throughout the test period
Your help will highly be appreciated

Dear Gazzuzz,
My fan run well and my thermostat still inplace. But my bad/ linking radiator was changed by my mechanic to double cell.

No CEL on. Car runs fine but i am worried abt my radiator. I noticed a sudden increase in fuel consumption after radiator was changed.

Pls kindly advice on the way forward.. I need fuel consumption to return back to normal.

I don't think it is related to radiator change.just do standard tuneup.

Hi guys, my car Hyundai Accent 08 jerks crazily when I slow down and switch to gear one(it’s a manual transmission). I was told it is the engine seat that is loose and will need replacement. Can anyone help with the approximate cost price so I won’t be Kazeemed?

Replace clutch disk and friction plate with brand new OEM parts

Oga Gazzuzz that back wash is it from the front bumper or from the cooling fan side thanks

Good morning folks,
My car vibrates on idle and then within a minute after take off the car runs fine without vibration.
At high speed there is no vibration.
I told my mech to check spark plugs but he says the plugs are okay.( He didn't check it). I guess he was in a hurry or so maybe Salah-being a Muslim.
I did wheel balancing about 3 weeks ago at an automated centre.
He mech mentioned something about changing my shaft. ( We we're on motion) and he was driving so I didn't get all he said.
Pls what do you think it's the possible cause(s).
Car is Toyota Corolla sports 2006.

At the bolded buy Cab cleaner and tell your mechanic to clean the throttle body AKA injector mouth.

From the narration sir, couple of parts can actually cause vibration, one of them, the plugs and coils.
Another is your Injector.
Another is your Throttle body

But why dont you scan and be sure of what is really wrong.

There is a lot to unpack here. Find someone who has your time to actually check these things instead of telling you they are fine without looking.

That vibration is plugs. Does it also jerk forward when you change gears. If yes that is engine seat
