Sir , I have an issue on my car that I have tried all possible best to solve but to no avail.
I drive a Toyota Corolla 2009 , toks.
Never had an issue since 2019 ... Not until last month I discovered a hum noise... At first I the mechanic told me it was my bearings... So far... I have changed all my bearings and the noise still persists.
When I speed more that 40mph d noise starts
Secondly, yesterday I discovered a new problem, when I'm in motion and I apply brakes , my steering and the brake pedal shakes vigorously

don’t remove your thermostat for any reason whatsoever. Check for leaks as stated

Hian.
Wetin concern exhaust leak with thermostat?

No go use your hand buy gbese oo.

Something is rubbing somewhere.
Either your exhaust is rubbing somewhere or your heat shield is loose or sand protector is rubbing on your tire (it should have rubbed through by now though)

Nothing concern thermostat.

for steering and pedal vibration check your break discs... it's the common culprit here

Good morning GAZZUZZ and other car gurus in the house,

I have a Toyota Corolla 2010 and the check engine light came up. I used my OBD2 scanner (pictured bellow) to scan it and the following error codes came up
P0201
P3806
P0700

I once read somewhere that error codes should first be cleared and the car driven but if they returnm you would have to carry out the maintenance required.
I cleared the errors (without doing any maintenance work) and the check engine light went off. I have driven the care for 3 days without the the light coming back on. My mind is somehow not settled. Am I doing the right thing?

Yes, if the light comes back on, then do a check again for the codes that come up.

Good day car gurus in the house.

I noticed of recent that when I first start my Corolla 2009 every morning, it struggles to start or will I say it makes a cranky start. But after that first time, it balances and becomes ok, until I park it for hours or the next morning again.

Pls what could be the problem of that cranky start

Please car gurus here I need your input here, my Car 206 check engine light has been blinking for days now from Tuesday precisely, though I don't feel any changes from the car making me surprise what could be wrong. I call my mechanic to explain he said since the car is still moving fine, I should manage to weekend when he returns from Sallah break.

I hope there's no danger in still moving with the car though i don't do long distance, just office and work? from experience Car gurus here please Gazzuzz

Last week I noticed that check engine light and another light on my 2009 Corolla dashboard, I went for scanning and they said it's tire pressure and bad fuel. They erased the lights. Then after 2days the lights returned again.

What should I do about this issue now pls?
