Good evening Boss.
Fuel tank was leaking and it was brought down after fixing it, now the tank is seriously vomiting when buying fuel. What are the things to check or fix to solve this.

check if the tank inlet piping is properly installed and tightened to prevent any leaks. Also, check for cracks in tank or along the inlet tube. Finally, check purge valve (it’s part of the evap system) and blockage in the evap system as a whole.

2008 Yaris vibrates alot even when idle without AC. Spark plugs were ruled out. Mechanic is telling me it's a component (forgot the name) attached to No. 1 valve and costs like 7k. Secondly, it's speedometer is not working.

Hello, please my mechanic put WS into my CVT FE gear by drain technique.. Vehicle refuses to move in drive or reverse… Has anyone experienced this problem. What options do I have??
We just drained the oil and would add CVT FE soon. I just need all recommendations. Thanks

Haaaa!

Well, flush out the fluid and put CVT FE while keeping your fingers crossed and praying fervently.

Thank you, does that mean my gear filter would be removed by flushing? Or I should stick with the draining thats been done.
In worst scenario.. If transmission gets changed, can the vehicle remain as sharp it had been?

Buy it. Worse case scenario, it gets seized by Customs and you become car-less. You're welcome.

Good evening boss.

I drive a Honda 2004 EOD.
When i want to sellect gear the selection doesn't correlate with the one showing on the Dashboard, and even if i move the gear and put it on "grin" or "R" or "N" it doesn't enter directly, I'll have to move the gear handle a bit back and forth while looking at the dashboard and still checking the engine sound to hear or see when it has entered...but when it enters the gear selects perfectly without issues...please what could be wrong? My mechanic was saying something about gear wire and requesting for 15k

Good evening bosses, I’m experiencing an issues with my Honda accord. It drags whenever I accelerate before it becomes stable then when I’m close to like 40mph. It begins to jerks and I have to slow down. Accelerating now takes times, drags and louder. More like the engine doesn’t have enough power to fire.

When I scanned it’s was showing solenoid sensor. I replaced that and also topped the transmission oil and I’ve gone as far as changing fuel pump. It was fine for two days and now again it has started and I really don’t know what’s wrong with it.

Expert advice is needed.

Re-align the PRND switch, if it still acts up, replace it.

Lexus RX 350 jerks when I step on the throttle pedal. It only jerks while accelerating anytime I step on the throttle pedal.
No check engine light ON

What could be the issue?

please I need advice

Stop trying to step on the throttle pedal cheesy

Okay okay I am only trying to pull your legs.

Those U151F and U151E transmissions are known to ‘have a mind of their own’ and may delay or even suddenly shift causing that jerk when you try to accelerate sometimes. But I think you may have to give it to a technician to have a look at the car abs properly diagnose this issue so you don’t end up stalling the vehicle when you need to accelerate.

I have no idea what’s wrong with it. Have a competent electrician check it.
