nonhuman:
there is no coolant in the coolant container in my hyunadai Tucson 2008 but my engine does not over heat. Do I need to poor coolant?

2. My tires are making wururu sound when on the road I have changed two front bearings in less than a week it continues, what should I do

3. After 30min of driving the acceleration becomes lazy, needs to be pressed down before it will pick up properly

1. how are you sure your engine is not overheating?
pls kindly top up your coolant reservoir and then monitor again. there is a possibility what you are experiencing is a very small slow coolant leak. you need to pressure test that cooling system before we can confidently agree that its not overheating.

2. since you changed bearing twice and its still making noise, there are 2 possibilities,
i. the replacement part was bad.
ii. what was changed was not the faulty parts.

3. you need to scan and do a deep diagnosis while the vehicle is being driven. watch the parameters that change and falls out of place.

best regards.

please kindly write down/note these codes.
erase all the codes.
test drive.
then scan(please use a more professional scanner if possible, personally i dont trust these small scanners) .

these will help us know what system faults are there and we can work on. some of these codes might have been set long ago.


best regards.

Morning sir.
There r many causes.
Low gas
Dirty or clogged condenser
A weak compressor too could cause it...


Just ensure U locate a competent AC tech to check it for you.

Where do you stay?

Afternoon sir.
Your AC not circulating to d back. I would like to ask.
1. Are there AC vents at the back? Or it's only on d dash bt doesn't circulate to the back?
2. If your AC only cools in the morning, you might have low gas, faulty/weak compressor, dirty condenser etc...

It is normal for your radiator fans to come on when you turn on your AC

Can you be more precise about the thing that vibrates?
Engine? Transmission? Cabin? What exactly?

First is to check your Crank Position Sensor and it's wiring. Dont be quick to throw parts. Bt u might be lucky tho.
Just ensure u test the sensor/wiring confirm they r bad before changing parts.
Also inspect d tone wheels.

Sorry i am personally biased against some of these cheap scanners. Tested one a long tym ago, was always throwing wrong codes until i used a more capable scanner. And codes were different.

However, store these initial codes somewhere. Clear the codes. Test drive the vehicle and lets see what codes come back.
U can also try to locate the o2 sensor fuses, replaced if damaged. If d fuse is good then check the o2 sensor wiring. From the sensor to the ECU if there is good continuity then you should change the sensors for a good one.

For the crank Position Sensor inspect the sensor and circuit. Confirm where the problem is before you change the part.

The the fan check the circuit from fuse to wiring to fan.

For TPS check the ref. voltage supply, signal and ground
1. At the ecu.
2. At the sensor. (While sensor is disconnected)
3. From the sensor (while sensor is connected)

Possible the Compressor circuit was connected/ "tapped" from the instrument cluster circuit... And this is causing a high current draw on tha circuit....

Check where the AC compressor is connected to

Stop throwing parts. You are only wasting money. The first problem you must solve is to find a competent technician to help you scan and diagnose your vehicle problem.


I REPEAT DON'T THROW PARTS AT THE CAR

My Toyota camry 2007 has this vibration when ever am moving on an uneven road. tie rod and down link have been checked and confirmed ok, all four shocks also confirmed ok.

The vibration is around the back side in between the two back tyre area.

Someone is suggesting I should check bushing and cacam bar ( dont know the spelling).

Please what do you think might be the issue with the car.

Good Evening.
I use a Lexus 350 07/08.
Recently, the is a noise like the power steering oil leaked and the pump making noise. At the same time the Ac stopped cooling.
I had met one or two technicians on ac.
One told me it is the condemnation that leaked the oil and gas.
Recently, I met a man that claimed to be a Japanese vehicle Mechanic.
He had the sound and told me it is the Ac compressor that has gone bad, hence the noise I am hearing.
Please, advice me on what to do.
A part of me say I should go to do diagnosis before giving it for repair.
