[s]Alaye don't waste money on coolant.emif your car is destined for overheating,no matter the colour ,it must overheat. Alaye take distilled water like 3litres,with two abro can coolant,mix and enjoy. Before that ,flush the whole cooling system such as water pump,radiator,radiator hose...and pour. Naija heat with dust,dirt,bad roads,every go later humble your car.[/s]..

Why must you always advise people to go contrary to what is right?

2004 Camry 2az Drivetrain making a loud buzzing/vibration noise on startup and when accelerating after engine rebuild. Engine overheated and crankshaft and components were changed because the previous was affected. Vibration disappears at 100km/h.
Had to use a street Mech for the job because of the location.

Hi guys. Please I need some assistance

My Honda Accord 2008 4plug. Had an accident front part hit another vehicle. It had the following damage

Condenser
Radiator
Grill
Bumper
One full light


I replaced all and the car was good

But now as soon as I turn on ignition 2 seconds later D starts blinking without starting the engine
Also VSA and ABS light are now on.

All these are not there before the accident

I try to scan ABS and the 3 different machine I tried cannot connect to it

I try scanning gear and it brought out U0122

The car gear selects fine and it has been like that for 2 months now.

I have read the two front abs sensor with meter they seems to be ok

I have also change gear oil.

Please what more can I try.

My Rewire said it’s a board order the steering that is damage. I would like clarification before he tampers with it.

Ask another mechanic to check your balance shafts.

Hello sirs,
Please how good is the obd scanner below and can it work for a 2013 camry? Thanks

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

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

Your mech forgot to bolt down the balance cog on the camshaft sprocket before removal and obviously did not bolt it on in tension before installation. Its usually done by bolting down with a 10mm short bolt.

Repeat the procedure of camshaft removal and follow the instructions.

Check brake lights if theyre working when you step on the brakes, if yes, get another shifter unit, and replace it. The electronic shift interlock is defective.

Yes it can, make sure you get a good one though that won’t run too hot while using the compressor.

Good Day guys

Toyota Camry 2008 4 plugs

My vehicle has an issue with its slow running or idle.
Initially it stays at 1000 rpm then later on after driving for a while it goes down to around 700.
At this stage when the AC is engaged there are slight vibrations and idle goes up & down intermittently.

My mechanic checked for vacuum leaks but claims to find none.

Vehicle was scanned & 3 codes came up.
P0172
P0420
P2111

My electrician took out the O2 sensors & tested them & says they are not working optimally.

I just want to be sure of the issue before wasting money on unecessary parts.

Your suggestions will be welcome.
