Morning,
I have a Camry 2009 2AZ
I have been having this issue for a while now.
Everything seems fine but when I switch on the AC idle drops around 520RPM and car starts shaking even when I switch to park or neutral I still feel the vibrations.
Car surges once in a while when at stop with AC on.

Check routing of all vacuum hoses and ensure it is connected correctly.
if ok, check condition of spark plugs and ignition coils.

Beamers are finicky and don't fare well in Nigeria. Switch brands. Each beamer comes with a resident gremlin grin

Body shell and the plant of manufacture are the difference.

oh..cos as part of my pre-purchase research.. I was told that price of the engine differs for both asian and American version... With one being more more expensive than the other..

looking at the engine type I can guess most normal civic come with the 1.6 or 1.8, the only expensive engine the civic would carry would mean you either bought a type R civic, civic Si or the Acura CSX which has same body shell as civic but sold mostly in Canada.

What they mean is probably North American Spec and bought brand new in Naija spec(Asian)
As for the engine... I think they both use the same engine.. I might be wrong sha

SO a BMW mechanic just told me not to get the e46 325xi i had been planning on because 'the parts of the AWD are rare and different from the normal ones'.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Good evening. My Toyota Avensis '96 Wagon has been giving some iron to iron rubbing kinda of noise. More like brakepad rubbing iron against iron. I noticed that when I was on reverse some days ago, the front wheels sort of locked. This morning on my way to church, I noticed that the the brakes pedal floored and I had to pump it up before the brakes could hold.
On reaching the house it also got flat and on pumping it I discovered that the hydraulic was just leaking from one of the front wheels. Please what's the problem and how do I go about fixing it? It's a first for me and I don't want to be a maga for the mechanics. Thanks.

yes the AWD parts would be different from RWD or FWD in the wheels/leg section am talking about shocks, transfer case etc. As for the parts been rare I don't know about that never used one b4 personally.

You have problems in the brake section the best advice is to look for a qualified technician to inspect it.

Ok thanks. To be safe, I think I'll just go for the RWD. I don't really need the extra weight and fuel consumption of AWD since i don't move around so much.

Also, do you have any idea how much these smoked headlights cost?

Around 300 USD before shipping

PS I own this manual and it is needing a new owner for 6 5 0 k

Ogas in the house I have issues with my car A/C.
It's a Nissan Almera 1998 with the Sr20 engine.
I noticed each time I turn on the A/C, the car would find it difficult to rev hard. The RPM is slightly above 800 with A/C on and does not seem low but when you try to rev the engine it responds slowly as if the engine is under immerse load and accelerate as if it's towing something heavy.
I also noticed the A/C works or cools fine when the car is in motion or when you rev it up, but doesn't really work fine when stationary.
The car has manual transmission and runs perfect without A/C.
Pls I need help as my A/C guy does not know what to do again and is confused.

Very true and suspension parts are expensive and complicated than it’s regular RWD counterpart
