Plz feel free to use whatever engine oil your heart desires.

Scan your ABS system for code.
Remote diagnosis would be impossible without a scan code.

Hello everyone,

I recently installed an AC in my 2005 Toyota Camry, but I’ve noticed that the car vibrates excessively when the AC is running. While trying to diagnose the issue, the engine began making a rattling/grinding noise, and now it shuts off immediately after starting.

Has anyone experienced this before, or does anyone have suggestions on what might be causing these issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It will work, but BVGA is 2001-2004 Pilot, they're prone to failures. The seller is only interested in selling his goods. What happens 2-3 years down the road?
Is he the only seller or don't you have other sellers?
Insist on the BVLA or go elsewhere?

This happened to my inlaw in 2008 until he found out the problem was high horse power compressor was killing the engine just like yours. In auto shop setup, air compressors ranging from 5 to 30 horsepower with 80 to 240-gallon air receivers are typically sufficient to handle most tasks efficiently. You need to know how much HP air comprs. your car engine can handle.

So my car Camry 08 AC compressor have spoilt. The issue now is, it’s manual and makes my car vibrate a lot which I don’t like. I want to convert it back to automatic but the amount them are calling is crazy o. My question now is, can’t I get a manual compressor that is carry come for my engine? The ac man said yes, I can get a 2.4 capacity manual compressor (which comes with big daddy) but I still need to change condenser and all that stuff and flushing too. Still plenty money. My ac expert here, pls help, advice me.

You have three options...

1. You will need to get a new ac compressor. Which can run you around $500. Buying a tokunbo is a big risk and it is not guaranteed to work. And yes you will need to buy a new condenser. And most importantly a new original ac freon

2. Continue using the manual compressor that will continue to wear down your engine. And eventually your engine will wear out and will need a replacement..

3. Don't use a/c at all and remove the manual compressor that is wearing down your engine..

Two customer from nairaland had the same issue. And I ordered the new ac compressor. Tear rubber brand new from Denso brand original OEM

Below 👇 is what I bought years ago for my customers. Till today there are enjoying their winter cold a/c

i just changed the radiator cover and car started running normal, no need of removing thermostat or anything the over heating stopped asap. thanks though
kingreign:


If your lexus is overheating, check,

1. Radiator,
2. Thermostat,
3. Radiator cap,
4. Coolant hoses,
5. Heater core under the dash for liquid stains or wetness,
6. Water pump,
7. Head gasket.

If any of these are defective, pls replace them with a good unit, bbefore trying out coolant.



If any of these are defective
Billionbillion: 6:06pm On Apr 07
kingreign:


Having coolant or not wouldn't do anything If your cooling system has been compromised,
You should check if your head gasket is fine, if your radiator cells, coolant hoses, water pump radiator cap and thermostat are in good condition first before investing money in any coolant.


Thank you.
thanks bro its just the radiator cap that was causing the issue and i chamged it and all is fixed.

My car is Camry 08. It starts vibrating once I engage the gear (without moving the car). That is when I put the car to drive. Everything else works fine.

What could be the issue?

If you have nothing sensible to tell people who bring their car complaints here, avoid commenting on this thread.
