It is a very common problem in rusted hubs .

Go back to each wheel the abs sensor is not (mating) sitting properly, sort it out and it will read the pulsar plate.

If you cannot, find my number

For your engine to require this, you have a long journey ahead.

I need help with my car (09 Corolla)

Let me give a quick history. I replaced bearing on the two front wheels, speedometer stop working afterwards and fuel gauge started malfunctioning.

My obd 2 scanner shows vehicle speed sensor A as the fault. I replaced the sensor on the transmission body(on the engine) but it didn't fix it.

Another electrician scanned the car for codes and the two speed sensors for the front came up, he tested both sensors including the rear sensors and they're in good condition. He carried out checks on the abs module and its in good condition as well.

We visited his oga, who said problem might be from the bearing we replaced being too thick hence causing the sensors not to the read the wheel movement. He said I should replace the hubs even if it's one and that will fix the speedometer issue. I had replaced the bearing for the driver side again after I was hearing noise from it on high speed but the visit to the electrician but still no show. So my concern is why neither of the two bearings effect the change he mentioned.

I'll appreciate suggestions on more direction to check.

Long story short, the bearings are not original.
Get to the market, they will show you the different types. Original Toyota Brisco bearings has a component that most of the far cheaper after-market brands don't. Same reason the Oga is suggesting you go for a direct tokunbo hub.

From my own small knowledge on automobiles, you'd probably need to replace crankshaft.

I may be wrong. Not an expert at all.

Hi Bro Please have you found a solution to this? I have exactly same challenge with the same car. several technicians have checked but are unable to find any leaks, yet my AC only last for about 10days before it turns to air.

I would love to hear how you handled this please

Good afternoon everybody. My honda civic 2006 AC problem.
After refilling my AC gas, it will only take two weeks for the AC gas to turn to ordinary air(and stop cooling) until i put AC gas again.
I assure you that the system is not leaking, because the technicians(3 different technicians) always measure it using their pressure meter. The problem is that the cold AC gas will just turn to air within two-three weeks.

When ever i want to refill the gas, i will just loose the air inside the system and put ac gas. I have been refilling almost all the time. Please help me out.

AC is a closed unit system. There must be a leak.... For a gas to finish.

Compressor, condenser, dryer, evaporator, expansion valve, the pipes and valves(seals) connecting them.
I tell u, there must be a leak.

I cannot be sure this is your vehicles issues as you did not give enough information, but you should look into it.

Maybe what they claimed.
Did you notice any difference with the other bearings.
Compare your original bearing with what is being supplied. You can clean them up snap pictures and post here.

If you actually did read the comments on the link, it is more of a wear and tear issue.

Remotely diagnosing this is delicate.

Good day car gurus in the house,
I loaned out my battery to a friend butwhen i got it back the battery almost didn't start the car
I tried it first and it was just cranking slowly but it later picked and the engine started running.
I drove for about 1km then i came to a stop and left the engine idling. Few minutes later, i move again and engine went off
. I cranked it again so i could pull over properly it started but before i could move it went off.
i was later able to pull over properly.
I turned off the engine, opened the hood and i didn't see anything unusual. I checked the serpentine belt, transmission fluid level, coolant reservoir level (temperature gauge was at optimal level)..everything seemed fine
I turned on the vehicle again and left it idling for a 5 minutes till engaged the transmission and since then it has been running smoothly
Do i have anything to worry about?
PS: engine first stalled when i was about make a u-turn
