Hello Oga GAZZUZZ. Please sir i notice a grinding sound around the timing belt side from my toyota sienna 98. I asked mechanic to hear the sound, he said it is either water pump or roller, I want to confirm from you is it possible.

@Gazuzz
i have a camry 99 model. i have been using it for 7sevens months now, but during this periods i have noticed the fuel consumption is usually high. i have compared it with similar models, over time but my still stands out. i have serviced my nozzles, changed air filter(new), changed fuel filter(new), changed the plugs,yet still not difference. after this last servicing two weeks ago, i notice this unusual vibration when i engage my gear, but when on motion i dont feel it. what else can i do please ?

Gazuzz:

@Gazuzz, it most be noted that my check engine light is not on. it only comes one at the point point when the ignition is on and the vehicle starts, then it goes off.

Gazuzz:


it could be connected to oil pressure warning lamp

Gazuzz:


replace full timing kit which will include timing belt water pump and all rollers. In the mean time stop driving the car

Johnsonkeyz2019:


O better so how do I get rid of the old dot3 in the Brake Fluid cup or sud I just start topping the Car with the blue color allied

Gazuzz:


the quality of brake pads and the quality of brake oil comes to play. The brakes only fail after excessive braking over long periods, the brake pads transfer heat to the brake calliper and that is transferred to the fluids which begin to boil and cause brake failure.

Change to high quality pads and flush your brake lines with dot4 brake oil.

I recently got my 09 corolla toks delivered to me last week thursday. Last saturday, my wife decided to drive out with it but found out the car doesn't move when the gear is shifted to reverse. No one had used the car since it was delivered from Lagos. A closer look showed that only 3 of the tyres attempt movement(according to her report) with the 4th tyre at the back not moving.

Any one with similar experience and what solution they proferred. Thank you gurus

Gazuzz:


you bought a South African corolla, disconnet the parking brake cables from the calliper.

debeey87:
Thanks chief. Just curious, vehicle history report shows it was produced in Newfoundland in Canada but you mentioned south africa. Is this peculiar to only SA specs? and what's the lasting solution if any.

Gazuzz:


then I was wrong. Try and inspect brake system
