Genius5:
do rebuilding of engine last longer cus i don't have money for another engine

Available parts and competent of your Mech would determine how long.

I have a 2005 Camry that I just got back from who I lent it to..

The car jacks violently when I change gears. From Drive to Reverse, it gives a loud thud.

Ive changed engine seats and it's still same.

Car moves smoothly though


Is the gear spoilt?

Good afternoon GAZZUZZ and other care gurus

3 years ago, I bought a Tokumbo Toyota Corrola 2010 .

Sometimes when I drive into a filling station to fuel, some of these fuel attendants guys try to market the "fuel injector cleaners". I have never bought it because I am a bit skeptical about their efficiency/efficacy but I decided to snap one of the empty cans. my question is this, Are these injector cleaners good or does anyone knows a very good one?

Dear car enthusiasts,

I have a Toyota matrix 2006, at 80km/hr & above, there is this humming sound from under d hood, very distinct at d persengers side, i already replaced the suspected damaged hub (complete unit with bearing).

Humming sound has reduced but still being heard at high speed, i am thinking it's from the power steering, the oil seems dirty & contaminated.

I am planning to flush with the attached atf.
Please i need advice, are these atf recommended?

Tyre types do matter.

Some tyre threads are naturally built to be noisy for better grip in subzero conditions (which we don't have)

Good day car gurus in the house.

I noticed of recent that when I first start my Corolla 2009 every morning, it struggles to start or will I say it makes a cranky start. But after that first time, it balances and becomes ok, until I park it for hours or the next morning again.

Pls what could be the problem of that cranky start

Sounds like a battery problem. To test, disconnect the battery in the evening and observe the car the following morning.

How did you come to the conclusion that the humming sound may be as a result of the contaminated ATF?

How long have you been using the car before you plan ATF change?

True.

I used to wonder why my Lexus tyres make alot of noise on high speed.

Hello guys, Rx330 steering has been having constant issues for about 6months now, changed the power steering pump about 5times now but still no solution, the most recent repair was on Thursday, tested and it was ok, however, it took a different dimension on Saturday, the noise was excessive whenever the Steering is turned.
What needs to be done pls?

Don't do that. Check your tyres as mentioned before.

Good evening Auto genius,

Kindly advice on what to do with these issues.
1. My neighbors Honda Civic 2010 leaks Power Steering fluid. I Have to top it about once a week, else it will empty and Steering wheel becomes hard to turn. What might be the issue?

2. Honda Accord 2009, after long distance say another 90mins plus drive in hot sun, water in Radiator reserve start to boil heavily. If I drive less than 90mins, I can also fear the Engine Heat under the Steering wheel. What might the issue be? Fans works well. Radiator not leaking. Car has Thermostat

1. Replace all leaking parts.

2. Remote diagnosis unavailable

Good morning Gurus in the house. I have changed the power steering pump up to 5 times now. Even the one I recently changed worked only for a short while and has gone bad now. Please help.
Car is Toyota Avalon 2006 model

My car Peugeot 206 recently started flashing the check Engine light, although I didn't not feel any changes in the car response, so I took it to mechanic after checking my plugs, he said I should replace all my plugs which I did. But the check Engine light continues flashing, the mechanic said I should not worry since the Car is moving fine I should continue using it.

Please is this normal from the car gurus.. Gazzuzz

Are you sure your alternator is fine?

Honestly, I don’t think so. We the sign have been seeing. Got a new battery and it seems not charging. ‘Cos each time I start the car the Battery sign shows temporarily on the dash board

Good afternoon GAZZUZZ and other care gurus

3 years ago, I bought a Tokumbo Toyota Corrola 2010 .

Sometimes when I drive into a filling station to fuel, some of these fuel attendants guys try to market the "fuel injector cleaners". I have never bought it because I am a bit skeptical about their efficiency/efficacy but I decided to snap one of the empty cans. my question is this, Are these injector cleaners good or does anyone knows a very good one?

I bought from Mobil Filing Station for N3,000. I must confess black sooth when you dip your hand inside the pipe has vanished . I was wondering why foreign used cars don't have black sooth and now mine is exactly like that.

My car runs quietly and I have experience increased in acceleration and power.

And above all for the first time I bought my car (Naija used) This is the first time using my car for almost 5 days without the pin dropping from the full gauge (Improve fuel efficiency)

My own experience sha.

all the vehicles I have , have never used cleaners and my tailpipe is not dark and oily or dark at all. It is a product of your emission system.

What vehicle is it? It is dangerous to have excessive braking in the rear, especially if abs is disabled.

More info and I can tell you why you failed exam
