Doesn't mean the unit is in excellent condition
It could need bleeding

Please, are you also thinking the noise may be coming caused by low power steering fluid? BTW, what's bleeding?

Bleeding is the expulsion of air voids from a system
The car sounds like the power steering system has air voids in it

Thanks for the explanation. But is bleeding something any roadside mechanic can do?

With proper monitoring, yes. Don't let any impurity get in the fluid

Are you using the release button only? Or it doesn't open with the remote too?
If it opens with the remote and doesn't open with the release button, there's a trunk release button in your glove box, press it and try again.

It's a very common problem on the Camry 2007-2009.

Video is long, but if you want to skip lectures just replace the abs module in pic below.

This is one month after I changed the ABS module and the car is driving smooth...I appreciate you Sir!

Hello gurus. My car is a toyota 4 plugs camry 2012.

Sometime this year i noticed that the car tends to power down when I'm driving ( the engine just goes off). But when i crank it up again it starts immediately like nothing happened. I took it to a mechanic and he cleaned my throttle body, the engine stalling stopped for about 2 months after cleaning the throttle body.

This issue (engine stalling) while driving started again just yesterday. I really don't know what could be causing this.

Hello experts in the house. My Toyota camry 09 is having problems starting after some time being off, especially in the morning. Takes at least 7 trials before starting. The exhaust shakes too while trying to start it.
What could be wrong?

Please I am aware that most mechanics on the island ( Lekki,Ikoyi, Vi and ajah) really don't know what they are doing. I live in Ajah here in Lagos.

The only mechanic I trust is on the mainland his name is Gazzuzz but he doesn't like handling clients from the island . due to reasons best known to him.

Please who can recommend any very competent mechanic on the island for me even down to ajah Please I don't need all those over packaged ones ooohh.

There is a leak. It is visible, start with water pump
The coolant/water drying has considerably stopped after using high pressure water to wash the radiator and AC condenser. I am still monitoring though. Still no leaks, no dryness of water in the reservoir tank

My Ford focus 2009 tire pressure sensor fault warning won't go away even after tyre gauging, wheel balancing and alignment.

plug in a scan tool and check live data.

You will see the defective sensor, then you can replace and reprogram

Since the show is over temporarily, can I ask a question here about my car that brings out little blue smoke on first start in the morning?

I had to switch from Mobil semi synthetic 5W 30 to Mobil 20W 50 hoping it would solve the issue. But the issue has persistent.

What do you suggest I do at this point?

Car has a name?
