What transmission fluid did you use to service them during replacement?
Change your spareparts merchant and you mechanic
Well, I paid for the oil and all, the company that replaced it bought the oil. During the service, I remember he used Sea Horse ATF oil. Do you have a recommended oil for me?

This is a thread created for people to tell us their vehicle faults and we on our part can give solutions to their car faults. Where applicable, we may make references using pictures, videos and others to provide answers and solutions.

Please, state the name, model and year of your car, type of transmission and engine, and the location of the car to enable quicker response.


Happy motoring!!

Thank you so much @kingreign for ur efforts especially in the remote help category.
It has really helped alot of folks from what I'm seeing in this thread.

Ok so my issue.

I recently bought my car from a friend who was moving to Canada last month.
Vehicle is a 2007 Camry with V4 engine (2AZ)
The engine is great & gear is smooth but I noticed something was really off with the fuel consumption which was disturbing especially connsidering the fuel price situation we find ourselves in.

Other things I discovered were:

1. The Thermostat was missing.
2 My Kazeem told me that the belt adjuster was broken & that the current fan belt was longer than the usual one .

I scanned it today and these were the codes revealed:

1. P0128
2. P0172
3. P0037

My rewire pointed out an oxygen sensor as the culprit but is unsure of which of the 2 needs replacement.

I was hoping I could get some remote assistance from you as my location is at Lagos.
The fuel consumption is really worrisome.

Pls I need ur help.

Replace the Coolant thermostat, checkif the AF sensor and O2 sensor fuse are okay, if they are okay, replace the O2 sensor, and Heated Oxygen (Air Fuel ratio) Sensor. Then correct the belt pulley and routing.

Replace the bumper brakets if they're broken. These are what keeps the bumper in place

On Sunday while driving my vehicle to Church I noticed, my Volvo XC90 was displaying Coolant Low Check Coolant when I got to Church, which was weird because I rarely drive out and I had filled the water/coolant tank the last time I took it out. Well, I added water to it and had to take someone somewhere during service, after service when I was heading home, the check coolant sign came up again and then I stopped to check, I noticed the water reserve was empty, which must have been caused by leaking.

When I got to I decided to inspect where the leakage was coming from. So far from what I noticed it seems it is from the top radiator hose that leads into the engine, maybe it is slack or something.

Because I pulled out the hose and I didn't notice any tear or cut around the hose, but it seems water was escaping through the bottom while trying to make it's way into the engine.

Would a change of hose solve this or is there any other underlying factor? Has anyone experienced this?
