When the weather is hot and I'm in traffic, the AC stops blowing cold air and sometimes removes smoke from the vents.

Toyota Corolla 2009

Good morning sir,
Did your technician check to ensure power goes into the intake vvt-i solenoid harness?
If yes, did you replace the VVt-I solenoid?
I've not replaced it yet.

How does he check?

Good morning Kingreign

I've been having P0012 error for months on my corolla 2009.

Slows to accelerate and feels like it's dragging.

All efforts to fix the code has proved abortive so far.

What could be the issue?

Hi gurus in the house

I scanned my Toyota Corolla 2010 a couple of weeks ago and found these codes.
1) P0138 (O2 sensor high voltage bank 1 sensor 2)
2) P0607 (Control module performance)

I am thinking of DIY and replacing the O2 sensor myself. I went to spare parts dealers and the ones they called Belgium seems they were dead but were cleaned by the sellers.

I am now thinking of buying brand new on AliExpress which would be Chinese products. How good are Chinese O2 sensors.


Chief, were you able to replace your 02 sensor? If yes, how much did it cost?
Thanks

Check your recyclelation switch if is off.
But if the switch is on and you still perceive smells,that means the foam on the recycle plastic is bad or the servo motor controlling the door isn't working.
I mostly smell it when the switch is on.

So I guess the foam is missing.

Funny how I have this same issue.

Have you found the solution?

I hope you have cabin filter in your car,pls check.
If there's non your evaporator is clog up with dust.
If yes take it to your technician to use manifold gauge to check the pressure reading when you put on the AC.
Yes I have cabin filter. I probably would just need to replace it.

Please I'd like to bring the car to your workshop.

Because the guys here are just saying I should change to manual compressor.

They probably don't know what manifold gauge is grin

Hello sir.

I drive a Toyota Corolla 2009 model.

Sometimes the AC just starts blowing warm air with visible smoke coming out of the vents.

Then I have to turn it off for some minutes and turn it back on before it continues blowing cold air.

One AC guy here said I should change the compressor to manual.

Please what could be the issue?

No. It matters, they’re very different.
So how do I know which one comes with my car?

Until I remove it to check right?
Car Talk / Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by alaricsaltzman: 9:27am On Oct 30, 2022
kingreign:


They are different. They may look alike but if you pay close attention you should spot some differences.
Can I replace the O2 sensor with A/F sensor? Like it doesn't matter
Car Talk / Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by alaricsaltzman: 2:28am On Oct 30, 2022
kingreign:


For the codes above, replace the A/F sensor you should be fine.

As for the smell of the chaise fumes, check if the boot closes properly and the weather strip rubber seals properly.
Okay. Thanks

The A/F sensor is the same as oxygen sensor right?
Car Talk / Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by alaricsaltzman: 7:45pm On Oct 29, 2022
Hello Kingreign

I got these two errors after scanning my car (Toyota corolla 2009)

P0037
P2238

What do I need to change?

Also, wherever I'm driving, I sometimes smell exhaust fume while the AC is on.

What could be the cause?

It can be sweet. But that app is not for people who have remittance to make.

I did one trip on last week Monday. Google map sef lost. I had to cancel. And the road was bad. But there was one I did from Ojodu to igando, 5k. While I did from Oba Akran to LTV for 2.2k
I just stopped and faced my bolt acrivation. You have to wait long hours to get juicy trips.

Yeah true. It's best for drivers with their personal cars.

You can't solely depend on it for HP. You have to use bolt, indrive and even uber to compliment it.

Like the two trips I did today. Pickup trips were less than 5 mins from my location.

So I tried Rida app for the first time today.

And I must say it's super nice.

Similar to indrive, you choose where you want to go. If the fee isn't okay, you can increase it.

And once you get paid, your money is yours. No 25% commission (bolt na thieves sha)

No fear of that driver score nonsense.

The only problem is far pickup locations and that's because many people don't really know about it yet.

But once more riders start using it, it will send bolt and uber down the black hole.

Your car is an OAT type, go for the genuine or any other recommended type I posted there. Mannol or Prestone. They don’t come cheap but get the work done.

I don’t know of any cheaper alternative and I won’t advice for water or some random computed fluids of questionable quality.
Thanks

You did not indicate the type of coolant recommended for your car or the year of your car.
Prestone coolant, Mannol coolant

There are basically 4 types of coolants for cars:

#1 - IAT (Inorganic Acid Technology)
#2 – OAT (Organic Acid Technology)
#3 – HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology)
#4 – Dex-Cool.

Toyota Corolla 2009.

The recommended coolant is Toyota corolla super long life coolant.

It's too pricey and hard to get.

That's why I'm asking if there's a cheaper alternative I can use like Total Coolant
Car Talk / Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by alaricsaltzman: 4:47pm On Oct 25, 2022
Hello Kingreign, which coolant do you suggest besides Toyota Super Long Life Coolant?
Business / Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by alaricsaltzman: 8:27pm On Oct 18, 2022
Hi guys... Please recommend the best alternative coolant for Toyota corolla 2009.

Toyota Super Long Life coolant is hard to get at the moment

That single difference in part number is an indication that it’s not meant for your car. Your car’s exact part number ought to match all figure and character on the ecu sticker.
Hello bro. So I finally got the exact brainbox part number.

And guess what, the car finally entered gear 4.

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate

I’m looking toward the ECU being a culprit. That said, I have not diagnosed or tested the car so I am not 100% sure.
Okay then. I guess I'll just have to be patient until I see the correct ECU part number.

It's super scarce.

But I wonder why 89661-02M90 won't work.

Can a change in 1 number affect the functionality of the car?
