I drive a 2006 Toyota sienna, ok I began noticing black sprays of oil behind my rear hatch(butt).. took it for inspection mech said an oil is leaking.. mumu me haven't been guaging my ATF level.

We check and ATF was completely dried.. I topped two littlers of oando ATF and drove home that night. He said we needed to changed the oil seal..

Good day, I use a 2003 Toyota Camry 2AZ-FE. Recently, the driver side firewall started vibrating when vehicle is on Drive, no vibration on N or P. I changed fuel pump, my electrician washed the fuel pump assy using thinner. The vibration stopped for some days. CEL is on after driving for some time. No CEL at starup. I also noticed increase in fuel consumption. One of the ignition coil is cracked and black tape was used to cover it. The last scanning didn't show any error codes.
Thanks in anticipation

My mechanic suggested that I should change my back brakes, which I did. Now my brakes are worse. I'm told that the master brake is bad.
My car model is Toyota Avensis

A lot of things can make a car transmit vibration to the body of a car. Unfortunately, this can’t be responded to remotely. Physical inspection is recommended.

It depends on the type of car and the type of throttle input it uses.
What is your car make and year model?

Golf 3, AC not working

Check your Idle Air Control Valve and the tension of your cable if your car uses a cable throttle.

It seems you're selective in your response?

My Peugeot 307 2003 automatic gear is not reversing. It will start going forward the moment you put to it on reverse. I have been told to go and change the gear to manual that there is no repair for Peugeot 307 automatic transmission gear.

Should I go ahead and change it or I should try and repair it?
What’s your suggestion?

Another issue with my car is the wiper. It’s malfunctioning so my rewire have cut the wire under the engine to prevent it from working.

I want to know if it something I can fix by myself or I should give it to a rewire to do it for me?

Your best bet is replacement, most transmission repairers may not give you warranty or guarantee on the job they’re doing.

The last time I checked most car wipers are functioning from input gotten from BCM. If your BCM is bad, or your car wiring has been tampered with such that things work on their own, I suggest you visit a specialist Peugeot electrician to fix it. DIY can’t work here except you’re highly skilled and knowledgeable about your car electrical circuitry.

Have the seal replaced and use Genuine Toyota Automatic Transmission Oil Type T-iV.

Sorry for the late response.

I once had the same issue.
I think the problem is from debris in the gear oil which have affected the pressure switch and other switches in the gear box.
Meet a specialist to drain the oil and wash it and change the oil.
The Ride will good to go

use a camry 2004. Whenever I start it early in the morning or after leaving it for some hours, I hear this rattling noise that stops in 1 or 2 seconds after starting the car. If I start immediately after, it won't make the noise again. The mechanic said it is the top cylinder,I changed it and nothing has changed. The sound is still there. Please has this happened to anyone before and how did you rectify it? It seems some of these mechanics are just doing guess work. Please treat as urgent.

Your VVTi is the cause. Do you use a 4 cylinder or v6?

Greetings my people..

I have an issue with my 2012 Camry. I noticed yesterday that the R sign on the dashboard blinks when I engage the reverse gear and the vehicle jerks when the reverse gear is engaged as well.

I don’t experience that kick when I shift to Drive, it only occurs when Reverse is engaged.

What’s could be the issue please??
