MarvellousGod:Absolutely right |
Contact Decotech in Owerri on 08030938491 to help you with a scan. |
AutosBay:If was so it will persist even after setting the timing but in this case it doesn't. |

9icetoo:Thanks a lot. The whole of the timing chain kit is in good condition although I had to tell the mechanic to set it right once more, will watch and see if that will make any difference. |
Its 250 naira from any licensing office or 500 naira from a driving school though it depends on your location. |
doroboss:Thanks doroboss for your suggestion |
Thanks so much 9icetoo, Yes its 1az engine as its inscribed on the engine block. The last time I checked the timing with a scan tool (though with the engine running it read 15.5 degrees) at that time the noise was already pronounced. Will ask the mechanic to check the tensioner as you suggested |
Autosbay, I don't think its an oil issue, as I recently drained the 20w50 oil that was there and refilled with 5w30 and its well gauged. |
I forgot to mention that the previous owner removed the factory fitted 1az ecu and replaced it with 2az ecu, I don't know if its responsible for the unstable timing. |
Hello friends, am glad to announce to you all that my car problem has been partly solved. It took me this long because all efforts to scan the car with obd2 proved abortive until Gazzuzz came to my rescue using a scan tool (God bless u Gazzuzz). The result of the scan revealed a faulty idle air control valve is and also the front airbag assembly and of course a retarded timing . The oil leakage has been perfectly solved, my mechanic who also confirmed that the timing was retarded did set it right and the rattle sound disappeared. This is the situation presently; each time he sets the timing the noise will stop but after a few days it will come up again and if I take it back to him he will discover that its either retarded or advanced and he would correct it. This has happened 3x. Pls friends I need your advice. |
Started using their 5w30 recently, mine shorts too |
Scam ke? I enjoyed it the first time and since then I don't joke with it. |
Rav4 all the way... |
Now I know, thx siena for enlightening us on that. |
@DjAndroid, am based in anambra, where exactly did you get this job done or do you have the person's contact? |
@ Gazzuzz, thx so much for ur contribution |
9icetoo: I need to ask if you recently swam through a pool of water as well. Cos if you did, you might have bent your valves which is why you get that diesel engine noise. Was your timing set right after the chain adjuster was worked on? Scan the car and see if you can pull any timing related codes. If you did not swim through a pool of water and your timing is okay, then i guess your intake camshaft actuator is bad. That is the source of the rattle. Depending on where you are, go to a spare parts village where they sell engines and get a tokunbo camshaft with the cam actuator (sprocket) for your engine. replace the existing sprocket. These sprockets go bad when they are starved of oil. Do not allow him adjust the tappets on that engine. They are not adjustable. Check and confirm that the oil control valve which regulates the camshaft actuator still works by applying 12 volts power to the terminal. If the plunger in the ocv moves then it is still good. if it doesn't move then u have the reason why ur camshaft actuator broke down. Change the OCV as well if it is bad or else you will be back to the mechanic to change the camshaft again. Make sure that the camshaft u buy is not for the 2AZ. Both engines look identical. The 2AZ is a 2.4 litre while your 1AZ is 2.0 litre. You might have to go with your camshaft. make sure your timing is set right after this fix or the noise will continue.Thx 9icetoo, Never drove thru water, will find out if they set the timing right. In one of your posts u stated that u once changed those components in ur vehicle, can u pls tell me d cost of each item just incase they need to be replaced. I stay in awka |
mayor2013: That sound is more of a mechanical sound. Firstly let them trace oil leakages. Make sure a thorough visual inspection is done. As for scanning its not a bad idea. But a scan would never reveal any sound of such. I fink your camshaft sprokets aare worn out alrdy and this was as a result of shortage of oil. Lastly when last was the car serviced and what type of oil do you use??It was last serviced in may, I use mobil xhp but plan to change to synthetic when the oil stops leaking. D mechanic also suggested dat d oil pump be changed as it seems not to be supplying oil well to the camshaft |
lomomike: Go get that car scanned with an OBD ii scanner first DON'T let the mechanic open the engine or remove any component yet. When the car is scanned, post the codes here and we will gladly help direct you on what to do about the repair so as to prevent expensive fixtures and unnecessary part replacement.Ok, will try and get it done |
