There is this dead rattle that started on my car recently and mostly on cold start. However I am beginning to notice it after parking for few hours. It's an annoying knocking sound that lasts just a second or two after engine start and is gone.

What could be causing this. And how can I fix it please. It's creeping out. No check engine

Car is a Toyota Venza 2010 2gr fe

VVT-i cold start rattle.
It’s the vvt-i that will need replacement. Not a DIY job. If you’re in Abuja, do feel contact me 07034581213 to know much more about it and possible repairs.

Good day great great minds. Sometime last month, the error code P0172 just popped up on Honda accord 08. I have changed the Maf sensor two times, bought a MAF sensor cleaner and I have cleaned them several times but after driving several kilometers, the eroor would just pop up again. My observation is that the error doesn't pop up while the car is speed but only when it is idling or moving at low speed.

The 02 sensor was also confirmed to be working properly

Good afternoon house. Please I need your help on my VW passat 2012. Firstly when I try starting it early in the morning it will start and stop, I will have to remove the battery terminal, fix it back severally before it picks up(I have had 2 different mechanics check this but they claim one fault or the the other and after fixing it the problem still comes back few days later). Secondly, the AC hasn't been blowing well, most times it blows really hot then it picks up later though it will still not blow very cold air even on the lowest.

CC. Gazzuzz and other ogas in the house pls

Good evening house

I’ll like to know what’s making my car steering ceasing when I try to steer and immediately it’ll turn off my infotainment system and I’ll feel the car jerk a bit. I had to turn off ignition and on back before it became normal

It recently started happening. Then yesterday I noticed that whenever I turn left the car gives a creaking sound on the left tire.

Any idea what could be wrong sirs. I drive an Honda Accord 2013

Good morning car gurus,

3 years ago, I bought a Toyota Corolla 2010 and I have been servicing the car with SAE 20W-50 engine oil but I just found out from the car manual that the manufacturers recommended SAE 0W-20 engine oil.

Please where can I get real original SAE 0W-20 engine oil in Abuja .

I'm sorry I mistakenly typed the wrong oil I have been using. I have made the correction in my earlier post

I was actually using SAE 20W-50 instead of SAE 0W-20

Moving from 20w-50 to 0w-20 is a huge jump.

Just continue with what you are already using. And change it after every 2,000 miles.
