Greetings everyone,
My Toyota Camry 08 is making some noise on cold start but the noise vanishes after the engine gets hot.
Two mechanics I've contacted both said is the timing chain.
But one said it needs adjustment while the other said it needs replacement.
Kindly advice what to do.
Thank you all

How easy it is for you to insult an elderly man speaks volume.

Nobody is praising him for not meeting up to expectations but learn to know your boundaries.
Terrible sentimental citizens like you are the reason we are in this shit hole.
Describing an elderly man by his works amount to insults?
SMH!!
PropertiesRe: My New Borehole Pumps Out Dirty Water First, Before Clean Water. Help! by blendz4real(m): 3:39pm On Jan 20, 2024
Had the same issue with my borehole after installation and this was the approach that brought me solution.
Just divert for first 10mins and close back to your tank. After some time you'll not need to divert again.
But your well no deep enough sha

CrownOfClay724:
I'm not very familiar with the terrains in Ebonyi, but it looks like a leaching problem.

You know when mineral matters are washed into the underground aquifers by percolation.

Since it only comes out when you first start the pump, it doesn't look like a serious problem.

First get drillers to flush the borehole, if the problem persist, then afix a union connector to the pipe run. Loosen it when you first start the pumping machine so you can bleed out the bad water and tighten it back when it's clean again.

The water should be fine within six months if you pump every other day.
Wells become cleaner, the more you pump them.

Take out battery terminals, remove socket that plugs into transmission, check for bent pin or rust or water ingress, clean with appropriate solvent, reinstall properly, test drive, then scan for codes.


Was the ecu of the car replaced at anytime prior to this happening?
Okay thank you.

I'll visit my mech and advice him to do as you've advised.

Car was bought tokumbo, so I believe ECU has not been tempered with.

Got the engine oil reduced to normal level, scanned the car today. A code C1330 came. The guy cleared and scanned again then no code came up again and check engine light went off.
Should I be worried about the code? And what is the code indicating?

Good day Nairalanders

*Toyota Camry 07*
After topping engine oil, mechanic mistakenly over guage but check engine light disappeared.
After a week check engine light comes on. Engine oil still above guage.
Should I drain a little oil out?
Could something else be responsible for the check engine light coming on.
Thank you all in anticipation.

Good evening bosses..My Toyota Camry 2006 big daddy keeps shorting oil..I use Mobil super 2000 5w-30 which is the recommended oil but I still experience oil shortage after 5 liters I bought recently. I still bought 1 Litre to top it up…just bought the car from America 4 months ago..pls your suggestions would be highly appreciated


Please what is the best oil to use since Mobil goes short everytime before service ?
The same issue I'm having with my Toyota Camry 07.

Wondering if I can get genuine rings and other parts that would last reasonably.

2007 Camry 4cylinder are known to short oil . it is a factory defect. The v6 does not short oil....

My advice is to use thicker oil . but you don't want to use something that is too thick either. You want to manage the car as long as possible

So look for 10w30 or 10w40. Prefairable Mobil 1
Thank you very much.

Scared of trying this. I'll keep topping the oil for now

I stopped recommending oils a few months ago because of prices of commodities and existence of imitation and fake products. In addition to this, I don’t know the state of your engine’s health so I am being careful here.
Thank you for your response.

I'll keep topping with total quartz 5000 until I'm ready to buy a new engine as advised or when I can sell the car off for another one.

This is so sad and strange because the car in question is just a year old and was bought tokumbo. No smoking of any form.

Change to thicker oil weight if you’re using lighter oil weight, or keep checking and topping frequently, if you want to take it a step further, get the pistons rings, PCV valve and valve stem seal replaced or buy a tokunbo Japanese Camry engine.
Thank you very much for your candid response.
I currently use Total Quartz 5000. In order to attempt your first suggestion, which oil do you recommend?
Thank you

Greetings great Nairalanders.

How best should engine oil shortage issue with Toyota Camry 07 be managed?
*Is it by topping the oil whenever the level goes down and check engine light comes on?
* Is it to change engine oil completely when the bolded above occurs?

Kindly help.

Greetings dear Nairalanders,

I drive a Toyota Camry 07. About 6months ago my AC compressor got bad and was replaced with one that had to carry some connections with a certain unit from the follow come compressor.
Now the compressor doesn't function well when parked and also my engine vibrates slightly when the AC is on.
I met another technician who said I need to replace the compressor with a certain one he says is more suitable for my car.
Now I'm scared of uncertainties.
Should I go ahead with the replacement as advised again?
Also isn't the follow come compressor available in the market? If available, how much for tokumbo and how much for brand new?
Thank you all in anticipation of your response.

Greetings all

I drive a Toyota Camry 07 and the cooling fans only come on intermittently and is only consistent when the AC is on but recently my electrician has been advising that I should allow him connect it to be running continuously else one day I'll suffer over heating.

I need professional advice on this.

Thank you

How do you mean your gear casing gets slightly hot after 1hr of continuous driving?
How did you find out this?
Isn’t your car drive train meant to get considerably hot due to friction and heat?
Does it in anyway affect the car drivability?
Thanks bro. I was just curious and scared when I noticed this from placing a hand on the transmission casing.

How about the ideal fluid? It's been 3years and never has the ATF been changed.

Thank you in anticipation of your response again.

Y'all talking terrible things about POS operators don't even have an idea what they've been going through to get the cash you come to withdraw.
You expect someone who has used N500 to secure 10k (or even more) to give it to you for less when they have transported to and fro and the service provider will still charge them? Haba mana!
