Good afternoon and welcome back.
I have a scan code p2715 on my toyota corolla 2007.
When accelerating, it drags and revs up alot before changing gear. I have had a mechanic check transmission fluid quality and guage which was reported to be fine.
One even mentioned having to change a solenoid and bla bla bla.
What is your advice?

olasworld:


You fit check your Plugs and clean the nozzles to the engine block

@RADAUTOWORKS

Welcome back.

Please let us know. How do we book an appointment?
Or should we just drive in first?

New shipment of drive belts just arrived. When serpentine belts break they can also flap around and cause A LOT of damage to the engine.

Stop buying poor quality belts when good ones with warranties are available for N5,000 up.

Good morning, I need to fix a valve cover oil leak. Can blue devil oil stop leak work? If yes how much is it? 2002 ML320 Mercedes Benz... Or what alternative solutions do you have? Thanks.

sultaan:


Just get a new pvc valve and valve cover gasket, don't take short cuts

londonerr:

The engine doesn't use pcv valve... Getting OEM valve cover gasket is almost impossible

londonerr:

Tau Mogale. Kindly assist.

My best guess to this was a bent subframe from a Nigerian road hole.

But this situation perfectly describe my point of view on cars in Nigeria.
There is no expertise on the street for the current generation of cars desired by Nigerians, so its up to the owner to be informed on how to own the car of their dream and not just buy any.

If you are in Lagos and you want to buy a 2015 Chevy Tahoe as your family hauler, here is why.
Its is way cheaper to buy, no fear of robbery, and more luxurious than a Toyota Land Cruiser.
If Radauto has the parts and support for your car why not.

A 2011 Corolla might go for N3.5m, and a Ford Edge of same year for same price.
You can by the Corolla, use any roadside and your car will look like any roadside Corolla in a year if not stolen/vandalized before then. or you buy the Edge/Jeep get support from Radauto your car should be in a better shape in that same year.

If a car buyer know what they want in their car, get it as long as you know you have support for it at a price you can afford.

radautoworks:
This post is to about two things.
1) people keep wondering why a woman chose this path
2) the myth about hybrids/electric cars in Nigeria.

So to answer number one, I grew up in a house full of men. Not any men, they were ALL engineers. My dad, my uncles, my cousins, engineers. So little wonder that tickled my fancy too.

Radautoworks , my 2012 Toyota Camry needs your magic touch.

When I'm driving i hear some funny sound coming from inside the steering. A "kazeem" says it's the steering knuckle. I don't know how true it is.

I also want to change my 2 front shock absorbers. Especially the front passenger side shocks ( but you know you have to change them both).

My air conditioner also does not cool like it's supposed to.

I would also like to do a diagnostic scan to show me other underlying issues ( which I know you can fix).
