The Boss

1. What's the side effect of changing my corolla headlight to the white halogen type?

2. The hoooooooo sound. I was told that it is the hub that need to be changed. Another mechanic said it is the bearing that should be "nackked" out and replaced only.

Kindly advice Boss.

1. You will not see as well as before, your headlamps are not designed for halogen bulbs.

2. Replace bearings with OEM (40k a pair)

Please what are the implications of removing a bad catalyst without putting back a replacement?
My Kazeem is suggesting i remove it, that apart from high fuel consumption there is no other implications. But if I don't remove it, that it may get my engine damaged.
Urgent please.

Engine spec [Toyota avalon 2001]
Symptom [rattle noise from the engine].
And he is suggesting that engine may already have developed problem because of the bad catalyst.
Just so confused.

For a 17year old car, the stock catalytic converter has no business inside there and should have been replaced with a new one years ago. Removing the catalytic converter is a welcomed idea.

OEM bearings have 0 (zero) mileage on them. What's the mileage on toks wheelhubs?

my Mitsubishi gallant station wagon 1998 [b]throttled to pick on packing [/b]but throttle between 1and 2 on loading. Just bought new throttle sensor and fixed by rewire. Rewire found out that one of the wires of the sensor connector has been detached. Could this be cause of the car problem not being able to throttle on loading or is there other things affecting the car. Please my gurus help. Thanks.

1. explain the bolded
2. get competent auto tech to fix detached wire (using manufacturer wiring diagram)
3. did you scan the car? what are the fault codes?
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Dwizeone: 8:26pm On Jun 29, 2018
Good evening all,
I had a scan done on my car (Toyota Yaris 08) and I discovered a fault (c1403 malfunction in Rear current ABS/VSC/TRC Speed Sensor RH circuit, C1241 Low or High power current ABS/VSC/TRC supply voltage), please I would want your expert advice, an auto-mechanic said I should change the hub. Is that the right thing to do, is the faulty sensor attached to the hub or a standalone.

Oga Gazzuzz, happy new year. As usual, Please your guidance is needed.

I have been using milemaster 5w-30 on my Toyota Camry 2000 v-6 close to 4 years now, unfortunately the oil is no longer easily available. Kindly recommend any other brand that I can use. The vehicle is due for servicing already.
