I believe there air in your cooling system or you didn't bleed properly.
Switch to coolant, check radiator cap, fill radiator and leave it open, start the car and let the radiator fan come on twice you top up and closed the radiator. And you should be good except there's a hidden leak.

the radiator has a blockage. Working on it now. Thanks

I need expert advice concerning the issue am facing with my Toyota Corolla 09 recently concerning the gear especially in the morning. About 2 months ago, I took the car toa mechanic with a complain about the braking system and after the check, he later checked the transmission fluid and said the fluid is low and even need outright replacement with new oil. He said I shld get 4 litre JohnHolt dexron 111 ATF, which I did.
Next morning, I noticed that the car won't move/engage when put on Drive unless after the engine runs for about 5mins whereas, if it is on Reverse, it instantly responds. However, once the drive engages after that early morning delay, it continues to perform throughout the day.
I later thought the dexron 111 fluid is the problem, I flush out again and replaced with Toyota ATF 1V fluid but the problem still persists. So every morning, I have to first run the engine for a while in idle for the Drive gear to engage. Pls what can be the cause and the solution to this as I am afraid of losing the gear completely? Thank you

Check if transmission sump took a hit, scan the car transmission also and post the codes here let’s advise accordingly.

AbelAbdul:
Good morning bro. Please I drove my friend's Honda Civic and entered a big gallop. Immediately, the car stops.
I discovered that the alternator belt has removed. I managed to drive it to a mechanic workshop and got it fixed.
On my way home I noticed that the water in the reserved water container was boiling seriously.
I stopped the car and allowed the engine to cool.
Once the engine cool I started the car and it was not accelerating well. I opened the bonnet and realized that the alternator belt has removed again.
This morning as I wanted to check the oil Guage, I discovered that the dipstick has melted.

Please what's the way forward.

Fuel pump

Get a genuine oil seal, carefully inspect the pulley oil seal area and the pulley if it’s defective. Rub some silicon gum on the outer edge of the pulley, install it carefully so as not to be misaligned, get some high temperature grease and rub around the edge of the pulley and inner edge of the oil seal. Install the pulley carefully so as not to misalign the already installed oil seal and also not to pinch on the oil seal. Torque to spec.

My gearbox oil is leaking and the mechanic said he would drop the whole engine to fix it please is that true? It's Honda pilot 2006

My camry 2011 is giving me serious problems

I noticed it usually happens during rainy season or when the car passes through water.

When I'm driving. If i slow down during traffic or come to a stop, when i try to accelerate after the engine stalls
It stalls for a few seconds then jerks forward and respond to the accelerator.
The engine check and trac off indicator lights come up
..
I have changed the fuel pump, topped up the transmission fluid, cleared and replaced the engine oil but still.
When you drive it for some time the issues then stops and it moves freely.
But once i park for a while and drive again it happens

The stalling only happens intermittently for some time and doesn't happen when I'm speeding.
Only when i slow down, come to a stop and try ro accelerate again.
When i took it for scanning i think the error message was PO200 I need to confirm though.

I need a good autocare shop in surulere axis so i can deal with this once and for all

Spent money without any solution.

Correct error code when we checked today is Code P0705

You should have just googled the code you got after scanning.

Check your injectors

Having issues with your gear shifting?

Manuella4ace:


Having issues with your gear shifting?

Yea.
When i slow down or come to a halt..
If I'm driving and put it in park when there's holdup and switch to drive when it's time to move the accelerator wont respond immediately.
There's a delay. Then it suddenly responds and jumps forward
The vehicle wont respond when i need to accelerate.
Takes sometime

I can't really tell this, wanted to know if the whole engine will be brought down before they fix gearbox oil leak, or is there a part of the leak where the whole engine will be brought down?

Replace radiator cap.

Pls what is the make, model, year of production, engine type and type of transmission of your car?

It depends on where the source of the leak is and what you mechanic feels is more comfortable to do to fix it.
