Good day everyone and happy new year

i noticed my car chop fuel like something else
i have a leaking steering rack ( can it be fixed or replaced?)
i was told the catalyst by the exhaust has been stolen reason for the fuel consumption
i also notice that am having oil shortage though not much

i need suggestion or help on the above will be appreciated

Go to a mechanic

Stop being told

Go and get your car scanned to know the culprit for the excess fuel consumption.. It is yet to be proven (beyond reasonable doubt) that a missing catalyst can lead to excess fuel consumption in a vehicle
What did you do to your engine of recent? Any repair works? Did you recently change the oil you've been using to service your vehicle? What type of oil do you normally use for its servicing?

Answer these questions so that we will know how to help you!

That car needs new year money.
You should be ready to spends lots of cash with does things you mentioned.

really?

well scan show oxygen sensor 1 n 2
i didnt change the oil.. same oil mobil 1 5w30 or so

one of the best oga here help with the scan.. attached is the result

Then be ready to replace the replaceables bro..

Oil shortage is a valid sign of a failing engine, steering rack needs to be replaced too.

Like demeanour Readonee35L rightly pointed out, the car wan chop you money.

02 sensor would lead to excessive fuel consumption because there is nothing to report to ecu to determine th Exact amount of fuel to be dumped into the combustion chamber. So therefore airfuel mixture would not be in the right proportion(14.7 :1).

As for oil leakage. It could be e from valve cover seals, camshaft seals, oil swump seals if any, crankshaft seal not likely on this model. I hope you had been using the right oil from the onset. The 1mz-fe engine is prone to sludge which in turn can cause oil shortage. Be sure of where the oil is leaking from externally first

Thank you bet much.. So it might not necessarily be the catalyst t hst was yank off?

We're you able to view the scan result?

Thanks once again boss

Are you sure the scan result you posted is from the same car? Because am seeing more than just Oxygen sensor 1 & 2..

Hello boss were you able to view the scan result?

Hello boss were you able to view the scan result?

Yes I was. You would need to fix a lot. 1st is the knock Sensor located on the cylinder head. Second is your airfuel sensors located along the exhaust manifold and along o2 sensors located along exhaust. Thirdly is your variable valve timing intelligence located at extreme right hand when standing in front of vehicle. Pix loading soon
