AutoMoTech:

1. Pls kindly describe this sound.
2. Does the sound come from the engine?
3. Kindly confirm it only happens at high gear.
4. Does the vibration happen at any speed or at a particular speed?

The sound is like when big engine is moving, like thick sound.
Yes it comes from engine side
Yes it happen on a high gear, say 3,4 ,5
No vibration; that vibration is when I start engine, I notice by the sit and the arm rest.

Ok... Does your check engine light flash?
1. D vibration could be as a result of engine misfire.
2. Faulty engine seats.
3. Clogged throttle body.

Check engine is not flashing, just there like that.
D vibration could be no. 2 and 3

But I am particularly about the sound.
Don't know if it could be the gear cos someone has worked on the gear.

Pls what could cause my power window not to work. All the power window suddenly stop working except the driver side. Car is civic 2008

Check the window switches especially from the driver side. That could be where your problem lies.
Also check your fuses in some cars a different fise powers the driver side while the others are powered by a different fuse.

Morning

One of the two fans blowing on my radiator stopped working. I got my mechanic to check it and he confirmed the motor is bad. he got a tokunbo fixed on it. It did not work but he looped the connection with the first fan saying that there is no supply from the wire from the original connection. the fan started working but after a while the wire melted and the fan stopped.he put another wire. The fan worked again but after a while it stopped again. i got tired of this and removed the connection back to the normal position although it still did not work but i have being driving it that way since then and the engine heat indicator never go above the half way mark. What advice can i have on this issue. My car is toyota camry pencil.

Boss your fan circuit has a problem. Most likely a short circuit that caused the death of the first fan.
Check all the components involved
Fuses, relays, wiring etc... Your problem lies there

Hi there,

I have a family member who drives Volkswagen Passat V6 (Automatic) but the mechanics working on it seem to have no idea about what they're doing. The car started with kick-starter problem, probably due to use in muddy areas of Owerri. But the other problem is overheating. The mechanic believes it's a problem with the gear bla bla bla. All said, the car owner wants it towed from Owerri to Lagos, where there's a company/specialist ready to fix it. She actually knows the CEO.

Does anyone know a reliable company that offer car-towing service? From Owerri to Lekki, Lagos.

Thanks, fam.

Please I have a Toyota camry 2004 manual drive that keep disengaging on gear 5 except you hold it. What's the cause and the way forward? Should I go for gear repair or replacement and if it's the latter, any idea about price.

you need to explain how you got to conclude that the fan is not working, ie drive till engine temperature reaches 90 aka half mark on the gauge then park the car, DO NOT SWITCH THE ENGINE let it idle and within few minutes you will hear the coolant fan running (that is if its working properly) aka No direct connection

the for the AC fan it should run the moment you turn your AC on

My day running light comes up immediately I put on the car engine, previously, it doesn't come up until I put down the hand break.
Please could be the cause of this.

For about 180mins, I perceived a brakelike burning odour from my 2006 Toyota Sienna vehicle which eventually stopped driving whilst in motion so I parked it up that night without forcing anything and then tried it the next day, put the gear on drive n reverse and it responded respectively as normal so I checked the gearbox oil and realised there was no single oil therein so I bought 4ltrs of one of the gearbox oils available within the village I found myself and then the vehicle started driving normally but after about the next 20mins of driving in motion, the odour intensified and gear drive selection, no longer smooth so I parked only to realize that there has been a leakage beneath the vehicle so called a gearbox specialist who then agreed there was a leakage and said it's from the pump and so dismantled the gear system, replaced the pump and the converter which he said was burnt to brownish color as a result of driving the gear/vehicle without oil. The parts were replaced and fresh gearbox oil refilled so I drove the vehicle only to find out that the gear selection struggles to select, it jerks sharply when selecting as if the engine mantle isn't properly placed so I reported to my gearbox mechanic and he says that the gear fibre has also been affected in the process of this entire experience.

So I need further expert advise, directives, suggestions and or best market price of a 13pin gearbox for 2006 Toyota Sienna, American model

Did your perform a repair job on your car recently that involved electrical wiring?
Because it looks your your lights have been connected to turn on when ever the engine is running.
Secondly the wiring to your DRL might be faulty i.e short to power. in which once the engine is running there is voltage supply getting to d lights. Check your electricals/wiring for the lights

Sir i dont think you have a gear mechanic yet. Kindly get another competent mechanic to help you diagnose that problem.
Also get a competent technician to scan your transmission system for fault codes stored. This might help point you in d right direction.

Alright, thank you so much.

sorry about this reply coming late. you said it started when you changed your timing belt. there is a possibility your timing wasn't set properly when it was replaced.
1. check your timing.
2. do a full engine diagnosis when you start the engine while cold.

*pls visit a competent technician

U0124 Lost Communication With Lateral Acceleration Sensor (LAS) Module
U0123 Lost Communication With Yaw Rate Sensor (YRS) Module


Check your Yaw Rate Sensor and Lateral Acceleration sensor module.
if they look ok. check the wiring. there is a possibility they have been disconnected.
also check your fuse box. it is possible the fuse responsible for powering this component has been damaged or removed.
