Except that on truly cold starts, the ears would silently curse you

Really? Never noticed tho...

thebigkendo:


Then don't.. Catalyst on that car is majorly for emission control.. It does not affect fuel consumption. Remove the garbage copper wire & drive the car like that.

And the engine gets to breathe better with no back pressure... Happy engine. More power

Piso1234:


I've changed like 3 fuel pump, I've changed cold start and starting sensor. Still happening.

check your fuses. ensure the right fuse rating is powering the appropriate system.
also when it fails, when some relays get excessively hot, they might begin to fail.
do this so you can rule out volage/current supply problem.

Good evening NAIRALAND LERD, pls I have a 2006 toyota corolla. The car vibrates when ever I hit a speed of 80 to 100. I have changed the inner cup and all my steering arm. Problem still persist... What do I do??

Note... It does not vibrate at low speeds less than 80.

why not start your diagnosis with the simplest things?
are your wheels balanced?
how about your tyres?
a wobbled tyre will show same symptoms.
an unbalanced or bent wheel will do same.
swap your tyres front to back and back to front. if symptoms persist you can rule tyres and wheels out and focus on other things.
next inspect your bushings, ball joints etc

Timopea:
No it's just c300 and the guy has reduced price to 1m

if truly the interior is clean, at 1million, Engine about 650k, workmanship maybe 50 to 100k. its not a bad deal. but its difficult to know the true state of other systems in the car until the engine works.

homeboy205:
I hear the M274 is a factory defect in all C300, E300 GLC300


Better run. The piston always fail.

the 2009 C300 does not use m274 but M272.

Happy sales boss...
But at that price it might be hard to sell this ride. This ride rarely sells in naija. Except when sold cheap.

Good Afternoon
Please I will need your input on this situation
Make: Volkwagen Golf 4 2006, 2.0L engine

The engine stops turn off while driving and won't start again until after few minutes (Like 20 to 30 minutes), this have been happening constantly, I first thought it was fuel pump issue but the mechanic I went to said the fuel pump is working perfectly, that I should visit a rewire. I would really appreciate your comment.
Thank you for your contribution

At what point was the pump pressure checked?
When hot or cold?
I suspect the mechanic checked while the pump was running fine.
Best time to check is when it fails.
As adviced by EngRichie, check your fuel pump again. This time when it is hot or after working a long time.

I tell you Toyota Avalon limited edition 2006 up ward with 2gr Engine have the same function and durability with lexus Es 350 provided It had not overheated before .I have both and are good cars.Smooth and luxury. Avalon is Relatively cheap ? Pls scan before purchase. It’s a good car. With full tank of fuel from Lagos to Osogbo to and from my fuel will drop to half tank .But in the holdup ,the fuel economy increases which is characteristic of v6 engine.My candid opinion as I drive the cars daily.

God bless you for sharing from your own personal experience.
Some people will just come here and be talking crap about cars they know nothing about. For some reason the naija market does not rate the toyota avalon highly like the camry. But personally without thinking about it I will take an avalon any day over a V6 camry.
A customer brought one that was terribly abused last year for repairs.
During test drive omo I was shocked at how balanced this ride was at high speed.

paix:
I am confused.

I guess he meant fuel consumption.

PAQ:
2003 Corolla drivers are really reckless. This is due to the fact that most are Commercial drivers in a hurry to make returns, the others drive that way because it burns less fuel than the average 4 cylinder cars and parts are readily available and cheap.

Did you just say parts are cheap?

I was telling my fine one time say i have noticed these people are very arrogant. She say na lie say ma racial profiling

Finally I am vindicated.

I had similar experience with my SUV, various rewires worked on it but yet couldn't get where the battery drain was coming from,
I went online to do more research and I was challenged by one report that says only the car owner can identify the fault at this frustrating period.
I went to my car in the night where there was no light, I monitored the inside from the outside to see it I will see any light that may be on, low and behold, I saw the driver's side power window button on, I discovered it was the number one parasite.
Further research made me get a digital meter commonly used by the electricians which I finally used to get the actual parasite draining my battery overnight and since then, I've had my peace.
The parasitic draw finally dropped from 0.96mA to 0.01mA.

My A/C in my Corolla 2003 was always top notch that at lowest, it freezes my hands when driving if I don't push the vent away from pouring directly on my hands,

But in recent months, if I engage it at that lowest, the breeze from the vent hardly blow to where I am sitting until I increase it and is not as cold as before atall, (although still manages to get cool)

When I engage the a/c, the engine sound changes when accelerating from a standstill or driving very slow. (It sounds like a spoilt farm truck) but when spead increases, it gets back to normal sound.

Some say it is normal that the engine is loaded, while some say that the sound is coming from the compressor and it needs attention.

Pls, my people help me, wat can I do to remedy this??

Your AC is not as cold as it used to.
Engine noise is more now when you turn on your "AC".
You have an issue with your AC system. You don't feel you need to find an AC person to help diagnose the system?

Personally endorsed.

izaac23:


It was detected by a mechanic that it was wat they call camba and engine sitting that spoil, he changed them and everything is normal now, no bouncing, no vibration whatsoever.

That's great.
Thanks for providing a feedback.

Happy new year fam!!!
Its another beautiful year ... Oya let's get this going.

there's nothing to see

na so those wey no sabi area dey always jump into conclusion too.....so much so that you will think its bush path that enters the town sef

But its not a lie na.
No be bush enter your town?

xavuv:


You are right bro. The cold start sensor is the culprit, o also changed the 3rd ignition coil and the 4 spark plugs .

Kazeem disconnected the cold start sensor plug and did some wiring voodoo and said i should use it like that.

On my way home, like i just drove 2miles, temp guage stays very low,not even up to the middle mark, i noticed that my AC lost it coolness a bit, and my feet was sweating too much, i parked and open up the bonnet.

Lo and behold, coolant is already boiling and has over spilled into the engine bay. How could it be ! Yet the temp guage stays very low.

Right there i removed all the wiring vodoo and connected my cold start sensor plug back to its rightful place. Immediately after i started the engine again, I noticed the temp guage started working as it should, I.E temp guage now in the middle, AC now super cold as before the wiring voodoo and no more absurd coolant boiling till i reached home.

If not due to my alertness i would have lost a good engine.

homeboy205:


They have swapped coils and he said the problem stopped. So I’d suggest he try the treating the lean code first

Ok got it ...

homeboy205:
Treat the p0171, the lean code go Dey throw random or multiple cylinder misfire

This is another angle too. But having looked at the code there is no P0300/random cylinder misfire.
The error code P0353 is specific to cylinder 3 circuit/wiring fault and therefore P0303.
Meaning there is an existing fault in that circuit.

So my assumption is the misfire "might" have caused the lean code.
