abootoyyib:


Good morning good people,

Please I need your advise.

I am planning of selling my Toyota Corrola 2009 to buy either of these options: Honda CRv 2008, Toyota Highlander 2007, Toyota RAV4.

Please what can you advise me with my options

eightsin:
Good day my noble professionals. What could be the cause of my lexus es350 2008 model overheating whenever I don't use the AC. The fans doesn't seem to come on, on time and the reservoir starts boiling. I have scanned and there are no error codes

GAZZUZZ:


Air recirculation .

Out to in, and withing the cabin

Kingstel:

Please what do these red and yellow signs represent?

jceesquare:

Most likely a coolant temperature sensor working abnormally or your thermostat not opening on time.
Remote diagnosis would be difficult as you would need a live scan amongst other diagnosis approach for proper diagnosis.
Kindly call 07089030689 if in Lagos for diagnosis.

I changed the shaft and brake disc on my car last December because I hear that crank sound when the steering is fully turned bother ways and the steering vibrates when I brake from 80-100kmph.

Barely a week after that fix, whenever I turn the steering fully in the left direction, there's noise from the rack within the car, it has become more audible over the last couple of days.

Also, The vibration when braking has also returned but this time even at 60kmph, the steering shakes but not regularly.
The crank sound from turning the steering fully has also returned but not as bad as the prior to December fix and it happens when the steering is turned fully in the driver's direction to the left.

There's also some sort of drag when accelerating which wasn't present before the December job.
What line of action is best for me to take next.

eightsin:


Sadly I'm far away in Enugu. I think it's the thermostat not opening on time and the mech advised I remove it entirely which I refused. I will have to search for another mech. Thanks for your assistance

GAZZUZZ:


Replace the same things, but this time use new original parts.

abootoyyib:


The Toyota Corrola does give me any problem at all at all..

But the car don tire me , I want to have a new taste of another car sir

debeey87:


The question is now about original parts because the parts I replaced with were brand new to the brake pad sef. Are there brands that can be guaranteed as original?

Reminds me of a client that bought 2018 rx350 and came with asimco brake pads for me to replace

jceesquare:

You can test the thermostat yourself at home.
Take it out from the car and submerge it in a pot of water. Put the put on fire and measure the temperature as it boils and observe at what temperature the thermostat opens.
Compare readings with manufactures specifications and replace if faulty.

Ah! Oga mi, this one don pass my pay grade o. I go just cook am chop. Lol. Thanks boss

Pls I’m having issues with my VENZA

Battery usually runs down after some days now the mechanic is telling me is a brain box issue as the dashboard is not showing checks

nairamaniac:


Oga Gazzuzz please answer this question for us. It seems like a common problems within cars.

I think it's about a component still functioning even after switching off the power system of the car with the key.

Like something is still ON and running down the battery.
The battery completely runs down after some few days(3 to 4 days) if the car is left disengaged for that long.


What's the best possible DIY way to trace where/what is switched ON?
THIS IS THE LIKELY QUESTION I REALLY WANT TO ASK.

As even most technicians don't have a straight forward way of tracing the power leakage.
Thanx!

GAZZUZZ:


Time equipment and technique.

Cannot be resolved remotely and without training

quinSonia:







Oga pls I just called a mechanic
They are loosed the brain box for testing and I’m getting a new ba3
Plus this car is not even a month old

nurey:


parasitic drain cannot be picked up by scan tool, like he said it takes patience and time with tools that are less expensive mostly (multimeter and a bulb attached to a tester) but the skill to do it right one by one testing each component electrical pathway nah the koko.

the bone of contention in your case is letting the mechanic loosen the brainbox because if the brainbox is at fault, it will definitely throw a code.

quinSonia:







He wants to go and check it at his workshop plus the connection and maybe test run it on another VENZA
If it works then it’s my car or maybe a new battery
But I’m reasoning if maybe after everything will I have the same issue again I just hate embarrassment on the highway or being stranded I haven’t even begin to change oil self or other things

nurey:


switching brainbox to work effectively means he has to reprogram yours to the other venza because they are different, the brainbox may work but not optimally. Besides if yours is a 4cylinder and the other is a V6 venza issues go still dey. A simple plug and play scanner would have given code if the brainbox is faulty.

if you bought the venza tokunbo its time to do a vin check, the vehicle could be flooded or accidented that will let you know next steps to take.

quinSonia:








Mine is a V6
What’s a simple plug and play scanner?


Could I do a scan by myself on my vehicle ?

Are they any app

It’s just to early to be facing motor issues for me

nurey:


from bluetooth to basic scanners that cost 10 to 15k.

but for now wait for the technician response and as you are waiting do a vin check of your vehicle to know what you are facing or is the vehicle nigerian used?
