------ AUTOMOBILE 101 ------ I know you must have heard that when water drops from your exhaust it means your engine is in good condition. Well you may be right but not all the time because it could mean your engine is about to park up. Now let's analyze some of the reasons: 1▪︎ When an engine is off and cools down completely and exhaust gasses leaving the combustion chamber, condensation of water, nitrogen and carbon dioxide takes place and you will notice water dripping from your car exuhst. (Similar thing that happens on top of your pot cover when your cooking) 2▪︎CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. When the exhaust system exhibits toxic carbon gasses, the catalytic converter is responsible for filtering and reducing these gasses, compress them and push them out through the exhaust. As this is going on some amount of water vapor is formed as a result which later forms little water droplets that now come out of your exhaust. (If your catalyst is bad, blocked or stolen or you instal...

If your making a list of fuel economical cars, Y2K compliant vehicles and you did't include: Mercedes,   Kia,  Hyundai,  Volkswagen,   Nissan,  Peugeot ...... just know you're not Y2K complaint.  Your still living in the Analog world. When i say fuel economy i dont mean vehicles with very big fuel tank that can last for long journey or the types with fuel guage that take long before it drops one bar but once one bar drops before you say Jack tank is already empty. When i say fuel ecomomy i don't mean cars with tiny engines that can't even push out aggressive power nor the folk tales you were made to believe without proof. I mean cars with moderate or even big engines with plenty power yet covers longer distance faster than your tiny engine vehicle and with less fuel. This is why you need to know the EXACT fuel consumption of your engine per km/ mile or per hour at average RPM not making baseless arguments without facts. Assuming a 3.5L...

------ AUTOMOBILE 101 ------ WE SUFFER FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE A friend want to buy a car and sent me this pictures asking me to recomend one for him. I told him this they are same. Three of them are like Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  He didt understand then i went further to explain. ▪︎ Do you know buying a car is not a problem but maintaining it. ▪︎Do you know all cars are good, they simply give you what you gave them. ▪︎Do you know about BORDER SHARING in automobiles? ▪︎Do you know all car manufacturers are doing boarder sharing for things to be easy for them and us but out of ignorance we choose to suffer ourselves. When I say BORDER SHARING I mean cars of similar features using same parts. Cars made whithin same period , apart from body parts other parts, underneath, suspension, engine are same.  Let me put it like this:  THOSE PARTS THAT DIDN'T AFFECT THE SHAPE OF THE CAR are almost same for  car companies whithin a time frame of about 5 years before ...

-----AUTOMOBILE 101----- I always tell people, overheating is not a fault but symptoms of a fault just like headache and high body temperature are symptoms of some sickness in your body. Some bad mechanics are always quick in assuming faults without making proper diagnosis and some evil ones among them will always push you into repairs that will fetch them more money. Solution to engine overheating or burnt head gasket is not changing the gasket but first find cause of the overheating, else you will change gasket tire. Anytime i get complain of overheating first thing i will advice is to find cause of the overheating and solve it before doing any other thing. I made a post on causes of overheating and also  pinned the post on my wall. That pinned post have been on my wall over 2 yrs now but our people hate reading, even when i direct them to the post they will even ask you to send the post to their inbox or read it for them. Thank God this my friend took my little advic...
