Mercedes Benz ml350 2008 model runs down the battery after parking for 3 hours

From experience ensure that the trunk closes well. There is an electric padded like switch you press to lift up and close the trunk. Sometimes that switch malfunctions and usually have a mind of its own. Check that. You also need to carry out a parasitic drain test. Good luck

Cutezt:


Okay chief, I'll have it changed and see the result. Right now, it takes a second or two before it accelerates, I no longer drive it.

1st advice Change mechanic
2nd advice get a professional
3rd a professional won't collect a million box
4th why this so many fault codes on your vehicle. Clear codes drive for about 4-5km and rescan and see which ones come back

Mavor:
Actually not the case. I sent my mechanic to my friend and apparently it was a pressurization issue because there was air in the engine where water from the radiator was meant to be in. All sorted now. Thanks,

that air is what?? with the aided tools I would prove it to you. Not dem say

Mavor:
Please what could be causing this problem with my friend's Avalon 2005. Anytime he starts the engine, the radiator starts shooting out water in less than 1 minute. What are the possible fixes? Thanks in advance.

The DTC code P0011 cleared off leaving code P0016 after replacement of the first camshaft sprocket detected to be faulty.

I don't think you understood my analysis. For you to diagnose this and be accurate. Does your mechanic have an oscilloscope to check sync between the camshaft and crankshaft. As a tech i would suspect the camshaft sprocket installed because am believing it was a used one that was installed. Its advisable to work with genuine oem internal engine parts inorder to prevent revisiting the same thing over and over. A scope capture is much more better in this regards. Good luck on your quest

kenmaro:


I had a leaky oil seal behind the crankshaft pulley, so the mechanic who wasn't familiar with Ford engine system inputed in the mazda 6 wrongly cranked the ignition to loosen the crankshaft pulley bolt and this caused the timing to jump resulting to a P0011 and P0016 code initially. Another mechanic was able to reset the timing and also changed the complete camshaft A which before now was given this rattling sound at first startup of the day which smoothens out after some second. So, after the mechanic reset the timing, the both codes cleared off only for the P0016 to resurface after driving for about 10miles which repeats again even after clearing the DTC code.

Please note; At the initial time the codes (P0011 & P0016) resurfaces just immediately after clearing the DTC codes. But, after the other mechanic was able to reset the timing, only code P0016 illuminates after driving for about 10miles.

Thanks 🙏

Replace camshaft sprocket with a brand new. Used ones are known to have internal failures

Hello my able engineers in the house

My car is Camry 08. Everything works fine until when I turn my AC and say on traffic, car will be shaking. In motion, you won’t even feel the load. My wahala is when I am static with gear engaged.

What could be wrong

Check engine mounts and if you have changed your Ac compressor from vdc to a manual compressor then you would continue to face this challenge. Good luck on your quest into finding a solution

Hello Gurus in the house, please I need your help with my brothers 2011 Lexus ES350
Vehicle looses power while in motion.
Car has been scanned and it showed an error relating to the throttle pedal.
Throttle pedal was changed, yet issue persists.

Issue:
Vehicle looses power while in motion but engine is still running, just doesn't rev.
Sometimes when you want to overtake, pedal doesn't respond to acceleration.
While in motion, even when the gear is pushed to neutral, pressing the throttle, car doesn't rev then suddenly, it picks again

Things Done:
Fuel pump and filter checked and changed
Throttle pedal changed
Throttle body (Ejector mouth) changed
Plugs and nozzles checked, all fine.

What the possible cause of the issue?

Get a professional not a quack

Is the what's app group still alive

Hello bosses. Good day.

Please I use a Nissan Altima 2008 2.5s.

I recently just changed the car's engine cos the previous one got knocked. Since I changed th engine, I've not enjoyed the car at all. The first issue was the car not revving at all which was partially fixed by the mechanic by replacing the injector mouth( throttle body). After replacement, same issue occured until a rewire checked it out and the car started revving. Also to mention, the car on idle is high around 1300-1500 rpm. It also doesn't start once in the morning until after like 3 to 4 times.

Now the main issue I'm facing is this. Once I engage the gear, the car looses power and accelerates very sluggish and once I put the car back to Neutral or Park, it doesn't rev well and the raising is sluggish. But once I switch off the car and ON again, the car revs well, once i engage gear, it looses power again even when returned to neutral or Park. Please Help

Looking at things from a flip side. Was the right engine bought and fixed. Am sure that's where your car problem lies

You go dash me one? The fact that the car doesn't return return values for fuel trim no mean say e no dey show for another car

Good day my ogas, I have an issue with a 2004 Camry. CEL on, code is P1135 which points to a fault with the Oxygen Sensor bank 1 circuit.

Live scan returns normal voltage range of 3.3V. Cleared, drove and the code keeps coming up even after swapping with another unit from a seperate car.

In the other car, the oxygen sensor throws a P0035 code. This one na bad oxygen sensor.

Dilemma is why is a working sensor from another car throwing same code with the bad sensor. Then fuel trim doesn't show on live scan.

Car runs well but fuel consumption is high.

How can your fuel trim be at zero. Get a better scan tool

Elui2:


Thank you for your input.

We tested with another ECU problem persisted.

The injector was serviced also.

Pls how is the compression test on the cylinder done?

Get a competent mechanic

slysdesign:


Thank you for your response. Please tell me what steps to take to correct this.

Let your technician check for sludge build up by doing a tear down on the valve cover and secondly checking the valve timing

Good day house,
I have an issue with my Honda Civic 2008 model. My car uses drum brakes (lining) at the back and it's always leaking oil every now and then. My mechanic and even brake master has changed the rubber severally but after few days or weeks it starts leaking again. I was now advised to convert it to brake disc to have peace of mind. Pls like how much would all the mechanical parts needed for the conversion cost before they start calling inflated price for me. Please....

Change mechanic

Dear Lexus Club ,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out regarding my 2010 Lexus RX350, which is experiencing issues with its AC compressor.

Several technicians have suggested converting the compressor to manual operation, but I'm hesitant to take this route as I'd prefer to maintain the original functionality if possible.

I live in Oyo town and would greatly appreciate your expertise and guidance on this matter. What would you recommend as the best course of action? I'm looking for a solution that maintains the vehicle's integrity while ensuring reliable AC performance.

Additionally, could you please recommend any trusted technicians that can come to Oyo town and who specialize in Lexus AC systems? I'm keen to work with someone who has specific experience with RX350 models.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to your recommendations.

Kindly state what's the main issue with your Ac . Not every thing is compressor issue

Happy Boxing day fam.

My car idles very perfectly and is in good condition. But i noticed after driving on the expressway and accelerating a bit. When i slow down, like at a traffic light for example it starts to rough idle and the oil light starts to flicker, when it does this it jerks a bit when i want to accelerate after the light turns green. My mechanic said he doesn’t knw what is wrong and when he scanned it the only issue was irregular engine timing and he said it cannot be the cause.

Note:
I changed the top gasket last year after a friend made the car overheat. Although the engine sound changed acfterwards but no serious issues

The car is a 09 Toyota Camry. 4 plug.

Two issues you have here. Incorrect valve timing and sludge build up within the engine

mount1ng:


That's another issue, Scanners can't connect or read my ECU.
Tried with 2 different scanners to no avail.

If the obd2 port powers up the scan tool. Ask your tech to carry out a drag test

henryutd:


My Toyota Corolla 2010 is having the same issue.

Mine started after I change the rings of the engine because I experienced shortage of engine oil steadily after every long distance trip. My life has never remained the same after it.

I have equally done all that you did yet it didn't yield any good result. I have make up my mind to save towards a new engine. I am managing the vehicle right now.

Not all engine oil shortage is as a result of worn out piston rings. There are other factors that could cause engine oil shortage

mount1ng:
I have a Toyota Camry 2004, 4 plug. The vehicle start having low RPM after initial start. At first it will be at 1000 RPM but it will drop to about 300 RPM. Pls what could be the cause?

You might have a vacuum leak. What's your long fuel trim and short fuel trim looking like

trendyprettygir:
Please I need help.

I have changed:
Radiator
Condenser
Complete fan
Radiator cover
Top gasket
Done surfacing of cylinder
Fan belt
Crankshaft sensor or so
I used coolant
Radiator hose has been checked
I changed oil and oil filter
Scanned (this brought the sensor matter)

Yet the radiator sends water to the reservoir and the reservoir is full but radiator remains empty. We have tried removing from reservoir and send to the radiator. Same thing repeats.Then the car temperature guage goes up and then comes down.

If I switch on ac temperature guage goes up and go down when I switch off.

Another thing is the car vibrates for few seconds when it’s started and then stops and it does not happen maybe till I start another time but not everyday or everytime. It’s Hyundai 2012 accent.

I am tired and depressed. I have spent a lot of funds fixing car. What could be the problem?

What is really wrong?

Renwess:
Hello friends

Pls I need a very good mechanic around Akowonjo/Egbeda.

I have been having issues with my Toyota Camry 2003 edition, 4 plugs on 2.4 2az Fe engine.

The cars is working but each time I put on the AC it vibrates especially when the car is warm.

During this time when the AC is on, if you turn the steering to either side it will vibrate with the rpm dropping to almost 600.

I have changed all plugs and coils are working well.

I have scanned the car with my obd2 device and the only error code is P1130 .

I doubt if this error is the cause be ause I have a friend with the same error code whose car is working perfectly well .

Could it be steering pump or the bushings / suspension
