Good Morning house, I scanned my Toyota Camry 2012 and the following codes came up P0128 - Coolant Thermostat below thermostat regulating temperature P0136 O2 Sensor Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 2 P0139 O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response Bank 1 Sensor 2 I got the car around April, around the first week, I I had overheating issue and a mechanic did something about it and told me to change to a double cell radiator which I did. Also my fuel consumption has been high. Also my power steering light has been coming on and off recently. Please any advice on what to do? Thanks |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Grupo(m): 12:27pm On Sep 22, 2022 |
aristogabby: Your mechanic removed your engine's thermostat. That combined with the other codes is what's causing the high fuel consumption 2 Likes |

Grupo: Thanks. Can the thermostat be easily replaced? any risk involved? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Grupo(m): 1:36pm On Sep 22, 2022 |
aristogabby: Yes. Get a good mechanic. They will replace the thermostat and return the wiring of the fan to factory mode. Also don't forget to fix the other codes. |

You can switch back to 0W-20 as recommended by the manufacturer if you have kept a good maintenance habit on our engine. I also use the same vehicle and made the switch after 2.5 years. All you need to ensure is to get an engine flush and make your change to from 20W-50 to 0W-20. Call Mamtus Nigeria (Lagos), they are distributor of original Liqui Moly oils and they can direct if they have an assured retailer in Abuja or can waybill to you. If buying Liqui Moly, buy their 300-Ml engine flush too o. haslaw:

I purchased my Toyota Venza V6 at 70k miles and i do not know if it has ever gotten a transmission fluid change. Now it is at 92k miles and still no issues. Can I change the transmission fluid at this mileage?? Would it cause issue with my transmission?? @Gazzuzz and other pros |

Goodday Oga Gazzuzz and other gurus in the house. Your expert advise is highly needed, please. I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla that I want to work on. The major/easily noticed problem with the car is the transmission. The car refuses to accelerate beyound 40kph. After about 30/40 minutes of driving, the speed reduces further and ultimately, the car refuses to move. One has to switch off the engine and restart the car before it responds and move very slowly. Below are the initial codes obtained from scanning the car: P0037-Oxygen Sensor Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 2) P0751-Shift Solenoid "A" Performance or Stuck OFF P2714-Pressure Control Solenoid "" Performance or Stuck OFF P2757-Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Circuit Performance or Stuck OFF C1201-Engine/EV Control System Malfunction C1405-Open or Short in Front Speed Sensor RH Circuit After clearing the codes and driving the car, we have the following codes currently present: P0037-Oxygen Sensor Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 2) P0751-Shift Solenoid "A" Performance or Stuck OFF P2714-Pressure Control Solenoid "" Performance or Stuck OFF P0300-Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected P0301-Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected P0302-Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected P2757-Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Circuit Performance or Stuck OFF C1201-Engine/EV Control System Malfunction C1405-Open or Short in Front Speed Sensor RH Circuit I noticed that a can of Sea Max Dexron III was used in the car, don`t know if it has any negative effect. I believe the car is supposed to used Toyota WS ATF. Also noticed that thermostat has been removed and fan is always on. The advise I have so far is to change the gearbox (13 pins). Should I go with this or can the gearbox be fixed? Thanks. |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by inikamoze(m): 11:46pm On Sep 28, 2022 |
My Oga GAZZUZZ....your little advice needed. I Changed tires from iron wheels to alloy rims and was asked to get new nuts for the alloy but the old nuts still fit well, do I need to get new nuts? Would it cause anything if the old nuts are affixed to the rims? When one changes all four rims/tires and the front shocks of a vehicle, is it necessary to carry out either of wheel balancing or alignment, or does one need to do both? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 5:56am On Sep 29, 2022 |
inikamoze: Replace nuts, do wheel balancing and alignment |
