my camry 2008 is doing slow running and sometimes stop while on high speed, somebody please help what do i do.
Your car might be running lean which can be due to vacuum leak,low fuel etc pressure or you have ignition related issue and you need to check the cause of this by patronising a competent diagnostician to data stream root of the issue.
call autologic @08061166316 to book appointment for the fix

Good afternoon Guys.
I have a small problem with my car. I was advised to reconnect my fan to relay and put thrmostat in my car, i was told it is the best for fuel economy and avoid continous working of fan. but ever since ive returned the fan to relay and thermostat in the radiator hose, Ive observed the following.
1. I keep topping my reserviour virtually every other day especially when i go far distance.
2. My temperature guage usually goes beyond the half temp guage and try to go higher when I climb a hill or brigde.
3. I feel my engine becomes hotter than normal, though relapses and I've not really experinced over-heating but My mechanic is warning me that better I return it to direct or I am riskying headcasket burn.
4. When I speed for like 15 t 20 minutes, the moment I slow down I see that the temperature guage rises.
5. But one thing I noticed is that if I switch-on my AC, the temp guage never ever go beyond half. No matter the distance, never. Could it be the thermoswitch?
And when the fan was direct I never experinced this.
Though I observe that water in the reserviour usually gets dirty. If I remove the reserviour and wash, put new water, it will get dirty after a week. I once met a raditor mechanic, he said I need to blow or remove the raditor for proper cleaning, and that after that I can buy coolant and put it inside. pls any help here?
There is a hidden leak on your cooling system and the reason that this issue didn't manifest before without thermostat then due to the fact the cooling system pressure was lower than normal
.
However since the thermostat has been replaced now the pressure has increased than before and the coolant is forced to escape tru the leaking point .Cooling system is designed to have the high pressure to prevent the coolant from boiling at low temperature but there must be no leak in the system
Normally I don't advice customer to replace thermostat untill the cooling system has been diagnosed leak- free or else the car will overheat on restoring thermostat .
You need to take your workshop to a workshop that has a cooling system Diagnostics tool to smoke out the leak for you and proffer the need fix.If you are in Lagos ,u can book appointment with autologic@08061166316 for the test.

Well have you checked the mount? thats the things that holds the exhaust to the body of teh car.
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by tzars(m): 11:15pm On Jun 07, 2017
Good evening sir, I have a Toyota Camry 2010 V6 and every now and then I'll have the check engine light come on. A diagnostic test will show some cylinders are misfiring and the fault will be cleared. My mechanic says it's because the exhaust system is blocked, that there is need for the catalyst to be cut open and cleaned.
My question is can a dirty catalyst cause this problem and should I allow him tamper with it?
Thanks

Re: Car Talk Chat Room by MaziOmenuko: 7:46pm On Jun 08, 2017
Pls ooo, I have been using water on my radiator all these while until last weekend, I did routine servicing and decided to give my car a threat, drained the water and replaced with abro coolant. Now I am noticing high temp on temp reading of over 100 degrees. The funny part is earlier when I was using water, once the temp is above 90, my fan will kick start and the temp will reduce to somewhere around 85 and then it will start rising again and the cycle is repeated. Now, the temp keeps rising above 100.

Oga Gazzuzz, kingrein nurey, mayor, should I revert to water becuase it is getting scarier?

Peugeot 206 pls .

Now temp gets to extreme without triggering the 'check engine' light in the dashboard, unlike b4 when I used water, such temperatures will certainly trigger the light for me to stop.

Bleed it. Peugeots have bleed points along their cooling system to expel air trapped in the system.

your problem is around the thermoswitch and fan. As for the leak, check your radiator cap and expansion can cap. When you are on speed, the air u are driving against rapidly cools the engine and the fan isn't really needed to work. When you slow down, less air. That's when the fan is needed which I feel isn't working optimally. When u put on ur ac, the fans are constantly on. So there is better cooling and that's why the temperature gauge is normal. The pressure from higher temperatures may force fluid out through the cap of radiator or expansion can. Hope the mechanic bled the system well.
