HeavenlyBang: The W203 era... Good car, but i will personally vouch for models on or after 2004. Most gremlins were corrected by then Parts and maitenance? Believe it or not, parts like engines and gearboxes are cheaper than its Japanese counterparts As the car gets popular by the day more and more mechanics are becoming familiar with the technology. Security? I will feel more comfortable leaving my c class unlocked at the bank than my 2003 Toyota corolla locked and equipped with two trackers Performance? My brother, if you drive a Benz as a first car, you may never touch any Japmobile again( perhaps for life )....Maybe except lexus....or Infiniti....Or Acura 5 Likes |

Hi I have an 06 rav 4, 3.5l engine that makes this brief (1-2 sec) rattle on cold start. Engine runs fine and smooth. Came to realise the fault is most likely the variable camshaft gear. Is it worth fixing? What advice would you recommend. Thanks |

1sttruth:Open to forces of demand and supply. But if you need a relatively modern vehicle (2001-up) budget nothing less than 1.5 million for toks and nothing less than 900K for Naija used 3 Likes |

newman1: The VTC actuators are already failing (as you have described). What kind of engine oil are you using? How frequently do you perform oil changes? If you were using oil with a higher weight, changing the oil to factory spec MAY resolve the issue(5W-30 for the 2GR-FE engine).But In my opinion, once these actuators start giving way, Your best best is to replace with a NEW unit. .This can be easily sourced on EBay ( the 2GR-FE engine is a fairly common one with available parts). Pls note that replacing this unit requires removal of valve cover and timing chain(it is invasive to the engine). And because of the very tight space available in your engine bay, The engine may have to be dropped. And you will need a professional mechanic to avoid stories that touch ( your timing will have to be reset ). |

MotorGuru:Thanks so far I bought car Nigerian used, previous owner most likely used wrong oil.I have changed to recommend with little improvement, vehicle actual mileage 104k mile. Considering the chances of falling into the wrong hands, is there any consequence of ignoring repair? |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 9:07am On Apr 25, 2018 |
newman1: Changing to recommended is good. But the siutation will not get any better (or worse i presume). I think you should just be religious with your engine maintenance( oil changes) , and aside the noise, you may just be fine. |

Nice post. Please what is ur take on Mazda Tribute 2001 model. What are the likely issues with this model? Then any idea of catalyst in it exhaust ? I mean the price of a good one. |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by pennzo: 11:59am On Apr 25, 2018 |
donbuchi1: Not a bad ride too, more rugged, but you'll spend slightly more on maintenance |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by motorguru1: 1:42pm On Apr 25, 2018 |
donbuchi1: My other moniker was banned ( i am to blame) A very nice comfortable and sporty car. It its heydays it rivaled BMW 3 series, Audi A4 and Mercedes C class in style and performance. Really put Acura back on the map. Comes with a 3.2 vtec engine and 5 speed shiftable automatic and with Tech features like Bluetooth hands free , memory seating etc only common today. A very good buy, if you see one not abused.. But be prepared to frequent more at the petrol station. And i would personally avoid the first year of production(2004 model) due to transmission concerns. |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by motorguru1: 1:47pm On Apr 25, 2018 |
Harpesin: Mazda Tribute( Ford Escape )....Not a bad car I had a neighbor who owned one for 5 years and not troubles. Average build quality. forgettable styling. I advise you go for the V6...But that is price to pay at the petrol station..... as for the catalyst... well check local markets(Gazzuzz may be of help..) |
