Monlo:





Good morning.I use Toyota Camry 2007,I observed that my traficators are no longer working(all 4),I called my repairer to fix it,he said it was the flasher,he changed it,and it was working again.The following day,in the morning I started the car,lol and behold it was not working again even till I got " to and fro " where I went that morning.Later in the afternoon,I started the car again to use,it was working. The following morning,I started the car again it was not working,I had to call my repairer back again,he had to change the flasher again,and it was working.This morning again it did not work while going out,even while returning it did not work.On getting home,with vexation I had to call my repairer to come fix it again,only for him to come,start the car,it started working again.

Intact am getting tired with this ,traficcators problem.I have observed that it doesn't work most often in the morning when I start the car to use,but often in the afternoon,it will work.
Please what could be the cause of this?
Also do you know the price of this " Flasher", new and Belgium?
Cos my repairer says,new one would not work for my car,and he has been using Belgium for my car.

Thanks.

Change the repairer.

Honda Gurus, my EOD was giving AC issues, then changed the condenser and evaporator, cleaned up the system and charged it with gas, when i put in d 1st bottle of gas, the thermostat was cutting as it should do, but when i put in d second bottle, it stopped cutting, i felt i had overcharged it, i reduced it and made sure there is no air in d system, yet, the thermostat refused to cut, i checked d harness, nothing wrong, the ac is chilling fine,

Now, i noticed that the engine has started loosing compression when the ac is on, i would have to switch the account off before it can pickacceleration, if i throttle, it hesitates before picking, it sometimes looks like it's Not changing gear as it should, even to climb hill, e go kind of dey crawl, if i come to a near stop, and throttle to move, it won't respond immediately, i would have to press d throttle liketwice or thrice before it will move, d gear 1 sometimes can't climb a small culvet, pls, what could be happening and what can i do?

Scanned, all i got was ECT P2185 and ABS, this are codes that were there before this issue, i am yet to deal with this codes

You need a car scanner to check your car Fault codes bro..
I have one that you can connect to your Android phone and read your car statistics and diagnosis from the phone.

I have a well maintained 04 Highlander at 178k miles, for 3 years nw oil change has bn Mobil1 at 3k miles. Sometimes less. But the thing is i'v never changed the transmission fluid since i bought it toks 3 years ago. My mech checks my fluid regularly nd comfirms all fluid ok. Even the power steering fluid, brake fluid dat came wit d vehicle is wat i'm still using. The engine is 1MZ. Plz anything to worry about? Cos my vehicle has a good maintainance culture far from abuse. Tnx. GAZZUZ, Radautoworks

Are you sure it's 04 Highlander because 1MZ are for 01 to 03 models. I think from the 04 it was 3MZ. I use a 02 myself, but when you say you use Mobil 1 for 3k miles, is that Mobil 1 Synthetic? Or the 20w50s
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ojeysky(m): 8:10pm On May 05, 2019
eagleeye2:

If I had known what I know now, I would have been using synthetic when I bought the car. But I only got to know about synthetic from Nairaland after I had used it for 4years or more.
My Kazeem said, finding direct Belgium is the problem. That what they have in the market these days are rebuilt engines washed clean and put on sale as tokunbo.
Thanks.

I don't know why people believe only Belgium has quality parts, you may reach Gazzuz to help you secure a good engine.
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by jceesquare(m): 9:20am On May 07, 2019
Ogas in the house I have issues with my car A/C.
It's a Nissan Almera 1998 with the Sr20 engine.
I noticed each time I turn on the A/C, the car would find it difficult to rev hard. The RPM is slightly above 800 with A/C on and does not seem low but when you try to rev the engine it responds slowly as if the engine is under immerse load and accelerate as if it's towing something heavy.
I also noticed the A/C works or cools fine when the car is in motion or when you rev it up, but doesn't really work fine when stationary.
The car has manual transmission and runs perfect without A/C.
Pls I need help as my A/C guy does not know what to do again and is confused.

Oga Gazzuzz and other gurus of this thread, a friend of mine who is relocating to Canada is offering me his 2years Abuja driven 2010 Toyota Camry(4cylinders) for 2Million naira only. Do you think this is a good buy and are there any known default/reoccurring faults associated with this model of Camry?
Is this car also easy to maintain? Parts availability nko?
Thanks
