The interior of my car gets unnecessary hot when I start the engine in the day time or when I drive small distance in the morning. Pls what could cause this?

Check ur air vent control
Check for oil leaks
Exhaust blockage can build up too much heat

My car radiator is shorting water after changing head gasket and water pump..help

Did you resurface the top cylinder before returning it back?
Check the heater core for leaks
Check for leaks too

Can be a misfire from ignition coil,spark plugs, injector, and so on

Good day o, make una come help me o. My 07 es 350 Lexus I have been driving since 2020.

So the issue started last month when I was coming back and I noticed a sound coming from underneath the steering and I packed called in mech only to discover radiator water is gone and no water at all in the engine. He topped water and I took it home and the following morning I discovered radiator have leakages in the core like 3 places got a new radiator and put in everything got back to normal.

So after like 3 weeks I noticed new radiator cores started leaking again like something punctured it. So yesterday I went to Ladipo and got a Tok radiator double cell like what I had before, after installing it today, poured coolant HOltz, bled it only to discover the reservoir tank is kind bubbling because air is been returned inside there.

NOTE: this happened after the car was on for 10 mins or so with the AC on, I just had to shut the Werey down. Mech said it is the thermostat, he wants to loosen it I refused o. I said it might be the rad cap or the radiator and also my car is sluggish now .

E be like my gasket don travel ni. Guys help out

Has anyone experienced this? My car will just loose power in motion, it won’t rev and it will slowly jack a bit then won’t even move at all., my Rewire changed the fuel pump and filter but problem persist. Scanned in 3 different places but the only thing machine was pointing at is catalyst. Now the Rewire doesn’t even know whr again to go now he’s suggesting that the pump I bought is not strong enough that’s why the problem persist, and again today I noticed the car temperature was going so high the fans were working ac was working fine too.. it’s Honda accord 2012

Overheating can damage the engine
Get a technician to help you check the cooling system
Get a bigger scan to scan it properly.
You might need to do a pressure test to know if the coolant is leaking somewhere or not.

babasewen:
This are the codes

Replace the sensor.
Did your engine check light blinks when d car start jacking?

Brinxs:
My car is a Toyota highlander, 2010. Its been misfiring with check engine light blinking. I have changed the 6 plugs and 6 nuzzles yet its still misfiring... what could be the cause??

This require a physical diagnosis by a good technician
Do cylinder pressure test
Check if the ECU is supplying current.
Since you change the plugs and coils the might be coming from the valves.
Sticking valves.

Bola4boy:
Pls help me o. My eod, 2005 dey show me shege. It all starts while driving, the car suddenly went off, I tried restarting no way.

I scanned it and brought cam shaft position sensor code. I called rewire, he changed sensor and started the car. It worked for few minutes and off again and didn't come up.

Thanks for your response.

Can you give cost for a possible worst case scenario?

At least 200-250k on parts without labour charge tho.
Some technicians can charge you half of the cost of toks engine sha

Hi sir

The 2016 GLE43 Coupe I’m working on shows this DTC code. When you drive the car at high speed, an error message appears (see image 1). After diagnosing it, this DTC code comes up (see image 2). What could be the cause?

Check the transmission oil or replace it with d original type and test drive again

Another serious issue i noticed yesterday

You might need to do a cylinder drop test just to be sure you don't have head gasket issue sir.

Hello House,
I recently notice my Lexus RX350 013 check engine light always blinking when driving like 15 minutes up, esp when on top speed on the road.

Currently, the car works perfectly for some moment and later experiencing acceleration hesitation.

Did a scan today, I replace two coil and 3 spark plug, it was good for some moments, after driving around for awhile, engine check started blinking again.

Nuzzle was check, injector was cleaned and coil and spark plug was also switch, still no solution yet.

I can't rev and and speed higher with my car currently.

AC works fine, everything else also working, I can't accelerate and go on long journey with the blinking check engine to avoid serious issues.

Someone suggested the head gasket should be replaced from the original.

please, Kindly share any option for me

Scan the car and drop d codes
Do a cylinder drop test
Get a complete fuel pump assembly
Check the injectors harness to know if you have ECU problem or not.
But first scan the car with a proper scanner.

I need serious help, oil fininshed in my W211(E320) then the car stopped on the road, it was when the mechanic came to check that he discovered that there no oil again in the car, in fact the engine was very hard for him to roll. So he asked me to jsut put any oil in the car and start it, that if it starts then i should off it and buy the real engine oil for the car then do normal servicing. But now, i tried what he said i poured a black oil inside but the car didn't start yet.
Please what could have gone wrong with the car, i don't have money now to buy another engine o.

If the car is still cranking but did not start it fine but if it not cranking at all it can be the engine has knocked ohhh due to oil shortage

Inability to change gear smoothly during acceleration on a hill. Especially after breaking on a hill when in motion. However gear picks after shutting down and coming up again on the hill. Hyundai Sonata 2008 NF. Down the hill, gear changes smoothly

Check transmission oil level
Scan with a bigger scanner

jimohibrahim:
Good morning guys, I just upgraded from my 2008 es350 to 2012 Rx350, I changed the default rim, bought 4 uniform tires and serviced the car, the problem now is that I’m not feeling the sharpness whenever I want to accelerate, unlike my es that picks up immediately, this one drag a little or accelerate gradually which is boring to me
So I want to know if I have to change the gear oil since the car oil since the car is foreign used or what might be wrong?

I have the check AWD SYSTEM notification, trac off, check srs system airbag and on my dashboard and of cos the check engine light is on.

Scan the car and drop the scan result

omoguess:
Pls whenever I lock my car, after like 10 to 15 minutes, the alarm will start shouting, but once I open the car and leave it open, the alarm will not disturb. The car keep disturbing everyone in my compound in the night so I decided to stop locking the car with key or remote but this is not safe.

I have taken it to my mechanic who took it to an electrician who worked on it but the issue persists. The electrician later suggested I should be removing the battery head before locking it since he did not see anything wrong with the alarm system but I am not still comfortable with that.

Please speak anyone have alternate solutions to this please.
My car is Toyota Camry (Spider)

Check bonnet sensor lock sometimes it cause the alarm to trigger

AinzOoalGown:
In my case, the rack was the culprit and it kept damaging all the new pumps I bought. I ended up buying a new rack and that resolved the issue

Yes sometimes the rack can cause the damage too

cobishop:
Pls somebody with experience of this wahala should help me my Camry 2005 power steerng pump keep breaking down and this is the 3rd time am changing it in 2months. The last time I was made to change all the pipes or hosts. Am tired

Is the pump brand new or toks,many tokunbo are Nigeria used,if u can get a new pump it better.
If the steering rack has blockage inside it will damage the pump
If ur pressure hose has welding on it, it can damage the pump too.
The hose you bought hope it not cut and join,
