Hello Everyone, I have a 2005 Toyota Camry V6, I noticed recently that as I am drive, I feel a vibration on the steering, then also noise at the back on my right hand side like there is a metal object in the boot tumble around.
Please what could the cause of these 2 issues? Thanks

Hello car experts,

Please what do we do about excessive fuel tank pressure for 07 LX470?

When we open the fuel cap After driving the car for more than 10 minutes, the build up pressure is much. When the car parked after driving it for a while, hissing/evaporation sounds can be heard and sometimes fumes can be seen.

We've tried driving around without the fuel cap screwed on but little improvement was seen.

Please any pointers on how to fix this?

Thank you very much.

Hi everyone,

Please, is it necessary to change oil filter every time there’s an oil change? My mechanic changed my oil few days ago and I asked why didn’t he change the oil filter too, he told me it’s not necessary for now, that it can be changed on the next service. Could that be true?

Thanks

PS: I own Es 350 2013 Model and the oil was the filter I guess came with it, because it’s a tokunbo car...

Good evening gurus,

Please I need help. I've been extorted and rubbed off my money due to lack of time and my inexperience about cars.

So, I got this corrola 03 toks and it was superb for the first few weeks, but now, it's all bleeped up. I have changed both front and back absorber in the space of 3 weeks. There's this crazy disturbing sound from both front legs, and I was advised to change absorber, linkages and buchin rubber all all.

It was fine after the fixing only for another sound from the owner's side at the back to surface. The sound is like (hohohohobohoho) while on motion and it's really disturbing. I took it to the mechanic shop and they advised I change the back absorber, I did and the sound didn't stop.

I took it back there and we discovered that the exhaust isn't well laid, hence shaking and creating the sound. They worked on it and sound reduced but still coming up. After then, there's crazy sound from the breakpad and I decided to change it, that's when the problem started. Since then, I realized my brake has been malfunctioning. On motion, it just go down and later stabilize, it's been like that since then. I also notice the handbrake is now very strong than before. I

On the driver's side at the back, there's this hohohohohoho sound in the leg, like the tire is rolling round that thing that is making the sound. I'm really frustrated and tired. Most times, I just give it to them to do and then return it back for me in the office, so I don't monitor what they do. I really wanna fix this whole thing and enjoy my car.

Can the gurus pls help me
Check engine light is on, I discovered that yesterday....

Peppermintflav:

There lies your problem
You can never enjoy your car that way.
It's probably the back brake lining that's making the sound.

Now that I know, I don't give to them again. I'd just call in sick at work or fix issues at weekends. Thanks anyways...

Thank you so much.... I just changed the oil few days ago, I drove it from Ilorin to Lagos and back, I used Mobil 1 and it cost me not less than 50K because the engine capacity is 6litres... Going by your advice, would I have to change the Oil again with a new filter since I haven’t even used the oil that much, only from ilorin to lagos and back..

Thanks

GAZZUZZ:


Engine oil is safe. Filter should be replaced

AKALAMAGBO:
One more question please,

My oil cap rating says 0w 20...

But I couldn’t get that particular oil type, so I used 5W 30... Is that an issue

Thanks

Mr Gazzuz, I got Corolla 2007 Tokunbo last year September 2020 and I am a novice about car. I notice that the cooling fan doesn't start rotating immediately I start the car until a few minutes after. When I took the car to a recommended Rewire last week to help fix the horn that didn't sound again, he noticed the fan and said he would have do something to make the cooling fan rotate immediately I start the car which he did and the fan starts rotating immediately I start it.
My question is whether that would have negative effects on the car

GAZZUZZ:


Call me if you in Lagos. This sounds very depressing on the easiest car to fix in this physical world

GAZZUZZ:


Do not let the oil cap confuse you. 5w30 is the right oil weight.

I hope you used a good brand and not that semi synthetic nonsense

DonnyE:

Bros you should have asked this question before going to temper with your new ride. Revert to original state please.

Peppermintflav:

Trouble dey sleep you go wake am. Tell him to revert it back to how it was.
