Pls i am having an issue with my corolla 11 The engine oil is leaking everytime, not much but it happens everyday. I took it to a service centre and I was told I have to change the oil filter.. note, it was serviced less than a month ago. The filter was changed and the engine oil changed again. But today it leaked again overnight, few drops too. Anyone can advise on what to do? I bought this car told 4months ago. All was okay but this has been happening since the first time i serviced it.

Observer007: First driving really fast should not cause the codes that popped.. Interestingly you have a catalyst converter code affecting only one bank (bank 2 front of the engine) in a V6 engine. Catalytic converter codes are very common in older cars and cars imported into Nigeria as they get stolen all the time before or after shipping by port rats. In your case it might have aged and burnt out. You have 3 options, replace catalytic converter with a used one , replace with a refurbished one or install an oxygen sensor spacer. Either option will work if done well. Also you should inspect the bank1 . The incorrect purge flow from evaporative emission system might be a leak on the engine side. This could cause startup issues especially if the purge valve is stuck open. 4 Likes |

Dear Gazzuzz, I urgently need your advice. Attached is the error message on a 2009 Highlander. I have done the diagnostic where engine and EcT 4 problems detected, cylinder 2 and 3 misfire detected and all these errors were cleaned, radiator has been changed, spark plugs replaced, nozzles were cleaned, yet these indicators refused to leave. What professional advise would you give in this instance? A few times, this makes the engine to overheat, causes a 'drawl' in speed

meetdopi: Remote diagnosis will not be possible . 2GR-FE is very sensitive to misfires. So many Other factors come to play, change workshop/technician. 1 Like |

Toyota Yaris with good battery(it was driven less than 24hra ago) gave a whining sound on start attempt. A kazeem told me to hit the kick-started with an iron rod to solve the problem then fix later. I remember someone did same on the car 2years ago prior to replacement of the cabon brushes. Pls what is the logic behind hitting the starter with an iron rod? Thanks |

midetinz: Carbon brushes are coil spring tensioned. When you hit the starter motor, they kind of readjust and make better contact with the commutator . There is a limit to the number of times you can get away with doing this, after that it will not start. 1 Like 1 Share

Good day experts and gurus in the house, pls I need advice on where I can get properly trained as an automobile technician/mechanic. Top factors to consider, in order of importance are: 1) Quality of training, as my target is to become self-employed. 2) Cost-effectiveness. 3) Duration of training, since I'm kinda matured already. Location preference is Port Harcourt, Lagos, Abuja, ilorin, Owerri, Warri, Awka. (though ultimately depends on available options). Pls ur sincere advice/ideas will go a long way. This means a lot to me. cc: thebigkendo, nurey, autoelectng, autologic, radautoworks, cardoctor, gazzuzz, ikenna 1 Like |

Dear Gazzuzz, Nurey, heavenlybang, Thank you for all you do. What could cause a squeak sound in an 04’ Corolla? Happens mostly on a bad road. When the tyre arc is lifted, the sound is then also heard and also if you turn the steering on a bad road too. Thanks. |
