hello Gazzuzz
I drive a Toyota Camry 2000 i4
I scanned and got the following code
P0171 System too lean bank 1
P0401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation insufficient
I experience sort of hard starting in the morning or when the engine is cold.
I also notice black soot on the exhaust tail pipe.

Any solution sir thanks for your usual help

I greet you all. I just bought a Camry pencil light and observe that ABS and CHECK lights are constantly on. What do I need to do to clear it. Thanks

Hello Gazzuzz,

My mechanic said my transmission fluid needs to be changed because it appeared dark (kind of) and I'd be doing this for the first time since I've been driving the car for a year plus now. What transmission oil can you recommend for my car, please. It's a 2009 Ford Focus.

If it's not broken, don't fix it.

Good day house, I hope someone sees this and respond , for the past few days I noticed my radiator water always go down( low) which seems so kind of strange , with that effect, I tried to topple my radiator with another water but I noticed after driving for awhile , I noticed water and coolant leaking underneath the car which I tried to call my mechanic and told him about it , I took it to him for checking , he said maybe the radiator is dirty and needs so cleasing which he did but still the same thing, please what can I do stop fix this …. The water inside my radiator do go down on time and it’s showing some leaking underneath

No need to come to Lagos. Buy the device on Jumia. It should be able to pull out basic error codes. And it's also easy to use. Costs starts from 4k. It's called OBD 2 Bluetooth car scanner.

It could be that rust has done it's work. Take the car to the alignment guys and then walk down in to check the underneath yourself.

Hi guys, good morning Sirs , I have noticed that when I turn my AC ON, my car tend to go off, the steering will be strong and the check engine and battery lights will pop up on the dashboard, but when I off it immediately, the car runs smoothly.... Pls what seems the issue?

Note- it mostly happen when the car is on slow motion, especially when matching breaks, but when I am on motion it goes well even with the AC ON....

CAR - TOYOTA AVENSIS

ENGINE - 2AZ-FE

Warm regards..
