Don't advertise car sales here. Asides that, it's a FORD, meaning it was 'Found On The Road Dead'!

Hello King
I drive a yaris 2006. My problem is that the gear oil keep getting short. I keep topping it with oando dex III. Most time the gear doesn't select it moves only in gear two. It's an automatic transmission and I bought it Nigerian used.
Do you have any recommendation for me?

No peace!

3 of my friends that owned this ford edge, sold off as scrabs.
Better get a clean Nigerian used; crv, rav4, rx330, rx350, MDX, pilot.

For the ford edge it's a solid car but parts are not readily available and very few mechanic that understands the car
Just take your money and get a toks civic 08 - 10 or get a 05 - 08 corolla and rest.

I personally hates cars that steals my peace of mind.

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

I have scanned the car and the following Error Codes came up B2275, B2281, U0327, U1002, C0200, C0210, C0215, C0273, C0278 and C1330.
What is the way forward/advice most especially with those codes affecting the transmission?
Thanks

These codes are body codes and chassis codes. Not transmission codes

TCM is integrated with the ECM as a single unit. Check wiring harness ad sockets for damages or rust clean socket with electrical cleaners and allow to dry, clear codes and drive. If it comes back, replace ECM

I hear banging and sometimes vibrating noise at the rear tire (right side) when I drive on a rough surface or gallop. What could be the issue. It started suddenly.

Could be anything from bad Bushings to bad shocks and pad or any other part of your suspension components.
Remote diagnosis is impossible.
Take your car for physical inspection.

Hello house.

My 2008 Honda Accord had a P2646 code and a P0011 code on it before I got it. Changed the oil and cleared the codes, and then I rescanned. Only the P0011 code came back after driving.

I'm not sure how to proceed from here, since oil has been changed and filter changed. Mechanic initially insisted on changing the rocker arm, but after code cleared and didn't come back, he hasn't said anything again.

Pls help, as I need to know exactly what to do. I don't want anyone poking around in my engine.

Edit: the car drives fine and idles well too. Just want to be sure I'm doing the right thing.

Keep driving the car for a while and observing if the code comes back.

It's normal with 911 tipper. Keep driving it that way.

1, it could mean the tyre pressure in one or more tyres is/are low
2, it could mean the Tyre pressure monitor sensor in one or more Tyre is damaged or has been deactivated or missing.

If your engine has sludge buildup in it.
You can ask your technician to clean the VTC strainer, clear code then drive around to see if the code come back.

Remote diagnosis for suspension noise is practically impossible.
You'll need your mechanic to test drive the car and physically inspect suspension components to know where the noise is coming from.
You can call 07089030689 if in Lagos for further diagnosis.

I think number 2. Cos i guaged the 4 tyres and the indicator beeped for few seconds before it stayed permanently again undecided

The P0011 code could mean the two things in my Toyota,

1. Oil is not up to guage or dirty

2. The vvt solenoid is stucked maybe with silicon gum particles or sludge. I have to remove clean and test with battery head to see it movement before installing

The engine doesn't have sludge in it, I checked. I'll tell him to clean the vtc strainer though, thank you

I don't work on Volvo for lack of profit, but I can fix them to a large extent.


What's wrong with your XC90?
