Please house can one explain the meaning of this signs on my dashboard. I'm new to car issues. Thanks.

Why not try to scan the car and get the error codes? As an ordinary driver wey I be, I see your RPM going above 1k even as the car is idle and I think that's abnormal. I may be wrong though.

My engine oil is leaking from the top engine cover.

I need someone staying in Lagos to help me buy a fitting oil seal rubber. If you can help, please, let me know. God bless you in advance.

Kingreign, gazzuzz, 9icetoo, grupo, nurey et al pls help.

My Camry 2002 1MZ V6 is having issues. It’s been misfiring for a while and the CEL blinks. I have scanned and the scan showed that I have a misfire in cylinders 1,3 and 5. All coils have been changed but the car isn’t idling and driving well. The rpm is erratic. It’s hard to start once the car is warm however it starts on first kick in the morning and when the car is cold. When I brake while in motion, the car jerks and driving hasn’t been pleasant at all. The fuel efficiency has understandably been very poor.

I’d appreciate your feedback as I have spent money on it. A mechanic said it’s the fuel pump. If truly it is, how much is an OEM pump Cos I hear the Chinese pumps don’t last.

Hi experts. Please does anyone have idea about Rav4 2004-05 for uber/bolt business? It's not goig to be on the road all day everyday. Just as a side hustle.

Thanks for your replies

It's a big car. If it's not airport shuttle, forget about it. The business requires alot of car maintenance, fueling and commission. And your car must be 100% sound or you forget about it.

My own point of view, its not bad. You can use it inasmuch as it meets the e-hailing standards. Its the maintainace that will tell. The cost of changing and things like that.

pls experts, what's the cause of this in a tier?
what will the mechanic work on, to correct it from chopping another new tier when changed.

Note: the other side of the car tier is still very okey, no single chopping. Only this driver side is chopped.


Your car alignment needs to be reset and check your lower arm bushing, tie rod 08167071246

Good morning.

Hyundai sonata 2011.

All four tires were bad so I decided to change them. I never noticed all the while that the front driver side tire was smaller than the remaining tires. After changing all the tires, the car bounces furiously at around 80km/h.

Does anyone know what fault the smaller tire was hiding? I've already done a not very cheap change of my shock absorbers.

Your tyre is made in china, quality standards very low. If you don't have any cracks you can continue using it

Pls @Gazzuzz and other experts. I need your assistance on P0793 code for camry 2012. I scanned the car as a result of poor fuel economy and erratic gear selection. Car jerks and shifts hard. Engine misfires with high rpm. Scan came out for P0031 O2 sensor which was easy to install but really having a difficult time locating the intermediate shaft speed sensor A for the code P0793.
Roadside mechanics can't find it on the geabox and the so called certified auto service centers here haven't been helpful. They are are insisting it is within the transmission or on the wheels which I know are the wheel speed sensors or ABS sensors.
Really tired as this issue started after one stupid transmission mechanic changed the ATF.
Kindly help.
GAZZUZZ:


in 5 cases I saw, a rodent chewed on the wires grin. Remove the airfilter search the gearbox for the sensor, join the broken wire back, tape it up.

In the U660 it is embedded inside the transmission, but I would remove the transmission module and inspect the pins for corrosion

Take your car for wheel balancing and also check your suspension components.

What is U660, pls? and where is the transmission module located? Any videos on resolving P0793 issues in camry 2012? That is what I am trying to resolve. Really confused about your response.
