Bad fuel and incomplete litters. That 10liter is less than 8 litter. Nothing wrong with your car

Totally right

Issyboy4real:
Good evening sirs and ma's, I'm a lexus es330 user and I am currently having an issue... It started with my gearbox and I got another one, the mechanic advised to convert to 10pin but now I'm kinda regretting it...when I engage the gear it engages forcefully and also it only changes to 4th gear and that's all... I want to know if this is Normal..
The second issue is that today I just noticed my car won't rev past @1500rpm even without engaging the gear and i match the accelerator pedal to the floor...
Pls I need help

same gear issue, please replace the gear with the specified 13pin and have peace

Ritchyevan:
The noise increases mostly on bad roads/bumps and potholes.. but when on highway, kind of goes away completely..
It’s noise, the steering itself gives no issue, the turning and everything is perfect.. it’s just that noise that comes out of it.

thought it was vibration/shaking according to the topic. Have you confirmed the noise is coming from the steering? This requires physical examination from a very good mech to avoid repairing what is not faulty

Ritchyevan:
Hi everyone, I bought my car(Camry 2012 XLE) a little over 3 months ago, and I’ve been having little issues ever since, the most annoying is the fact that my steering wheel keeps making one funny noise like that… my personal mechanic told me that the steering knuckle needs to be changed, while another mechanic said the gear cup needs grease… please advise, I’m confused.!

is it noise, shaking or vibration that is the issue? explain better.
if it shakes while acceleration from a stop, then it could be warns inner cup/cv joint. This part requires some good expertise no anyhow mech to avoid gear damage
if it shaking at high speed, it could be bad tyres or wheel balancing issues

Ajani2plus:
Good morning Mech. Doctors in the house.
I'm having issues with my 2002 Toyota Sienna. It recently starts having issues changing gears. I was told the ABS machine was bad so I changed for about 40k+ and it works fine for several month. I noticed a leak under and beside the drive shaft so I took to mechanic to change the seal and things now, there is no leak any longer but my car wont change gears again. I had to drive the car on low speed to a nearby gearbox engineer to resolve. He told me the ABS machine is good that all I'll need do to avoid disappointment is to change it to Pebble or Bebble and that'll cost 50k. Pls has anyone experienced this before?


Note: I usually travel to Warri from Ibadan atleast 3 times in a month.

The mechanic has contaminated your gear. i believe the shaft was removed during this seal replacement. You may be lucky it works well again if you flush the oil and replace with original WS.
or scan to see the codes. share the codes here

ugreat:


Yes there's improvement. The only issue that's major to me is the abnormal revving I experienced if the AC stays for long in the afternoon, causing the oil light indicator to be blinking. If I off the AC, the car will normalize. Don't know what's causing that?

Oil light blinking is related to sludge in engine, failing oil pump. This is an engine issue. Try check to avoid issues

ugreat:


Thanks Chief for quoting. I resolved code P2716 last Friday. An electrician found out that one of the connector pin in the harness of the gear connector was rusted. He changed the pin(connector), voila code is gone.

For P0037, I have changed O2 sensor still no show. I'm tired of ladipo guys. When I rest small, I will face it

Is the car moving well now? Is the gear issue still there ?

akaahs:

Yeah

The right oil in there should be original Toyota type t-iv

akaahs:

I just bought a Toyota Camry (tiny light) from someone. He advised i should change the transmission oil to a popular oil because the oil inside isn't that popular in the market after he changed the gear box. Is it necessary to change it as advised??

Why didn't he change it? Is the gear working well?

victovrry:
Good day sir, I use Toyota Corolla 2004, recently I noticed my fuel consumption has increased, I used 30litres on 27km please I really need help, I’m around Abule egba axis

I have heard same complain from many Nigerians. I think it has to do with the quality of fuel imported to the country.

Anyways just scan and share the codes for analysis

seyigiggle:
changed the fluid because it was dark brown and also experiencing hard shifting into gear 4.
shifting is okay from 1-3 and reverse.

Car now engages in D, but fails sometimes except i switched the car off and on.

The Repairer said i should buy another gallon of the Type-IV fluid and he would mix it with one litre of engine oil . This is giving me concern
.

Thank you all for your responses

It is your mechanic that killed the gear. Are you sure they have not mixed something with the type t-iv?

Please change the mechanic

Just be managing the gear like this or change the fluid again with original type t-iv

Hope the fluid is also on the required level

If you have the money replace the transmission

Elsafema:
Good afternoon house. my Highlander 04 engine was removed and returned back, since then my gear has not enter 4 and 5 please what could be the cause

1. Gear is contaminated. Try and replace with original toyota fluid

2. Gear oil has dropped. Try and top it up with original toyota fluid

3. Hope the gear is well connected to the radiator lines. Check properly

4. Other issues. Kindly scan and share codes here for proper interpretation

Bonshak:
I intend buying one of these cars, which should i go for; Camry muscle or Honda Cross tour bearing in mind cost of maintenance and ground clearance cos the road to my village rocky and rough,so wouldn't want something that is too low.

Buy muscle

WMD:


No code at all. The only mil light on the instrument panel is that of airbag. No any other fault detected. Yes it is km and not miles. For those that know the distance between Yola and Bauchi, one full tank would barely cover this distance

Set your odometer A or B to zero then fill your tank. Get the reading after tank is empty. That will give you the exact distance covered.

Your full tank should be about 70-75ltrs

WMD:
My 2010/2011 toyota Camry hardly go up to 400km per full tank even on high way and worst on intracity movement. Is this normal? Scan on the system shows that the oxygen sensors and catalyst are in perfect condition. I need advise please

What is/are the codes from your scan? Share it here

Are you sure it is km or miles? Your Camry is calibrated in miles not km

Usefulsense:
The check engine light of my Toyota corolla 2006 just came on.

Is it something I should worry about?

1. Visit #2 to the dealer. This time they put the shop foreman on the job (very experienced guy they said ). The problem was a ground wire attached to the intake manifold. Problem fixed, no CEL light for a week. No additional charge from the dealer.


ground wire as stated above

2. Faulty oxygen sensors or its harness/wire. Try and replace if need be to see if there will be improvement

3. You could use an original fuel cleaner to improve the situation. Buy the one in metallic container

you have to be patient while going through these steps one after the other


again, check if your exhaust in leaking. Catalyst has been removed

Sirchiboy:
.

Scanned it

They cleared the error.
Changed the four plug.
Removed 02 sensor to test it and it was ok.
Still consuming fuel

Share the scan codes with us here so we can explain the issues

amosfunmi:

Don't be tempted to go and spoil your car, your fuel economy is normal, if its an highway driving it would be better than that.

It is not normal. Let him scan and share codes here. You will see the cause

Temiloveblog:
Who can recommend a good kia vehicle mechanic in Abuja. I am tired of moving from one mechanic to another

Search for kingreign here on this platform

Anguldi:

Thanks 🙏, city driving though

Okay. Maybe 75-80 miles

chccho:

3things could be the reason here;

1 The station u bought fuel from might have tampered with their metre

2: U might have run on AC all through the journey

3: Your style of driving ( maybe aggressive or high speed driving)

However, 69miles for 14.8-15L of fuel is very economical if i may say

The engine is 1.8 liters o. This is on the high side

Anguldi:

Your fuel consumption is very high abeg. I use a 2003 2.4L Camry and I get 80miles with 10k of 685/L

Your Camry is consuming fuel. You should be getting close to 90/91 miles with 15l

Sirchiboy:
bought fuel of 10k at 675 and reset my odometer to 0 and after the journey.
The 10k fuel only finished at 69 miles

It depends on city or highway driving.

Corolla 2003-2008 can do 150km with the 15ltrs. Can do more kilometers on highway with same fuel

Is there a check engine light in your car? Pls scan

Izufrank30:
Please does 2007 Camry have a 10 pin gear because my mechanic is telling me that my Japanese 2007 Camry is 10 pin gear.

lies from the pit of hell. what engine is the car using?

Williams05618:



Is this applicable to V6? I’ve used the V6 engine before and I didn’t have that issues

No! Only applicable to 4 cylinders

Curious345:
city . But no traffic

Good deal

Curious345:
I used 6.5liters for 90km

Highway? Or city drive?

AFONAMARO:


Will the budget get me a toks of any of them?

I think I'd go for the Camry

Good toks is between 7-8m

5m can only do the naija used

AFONAMARO:
Hi guys,

I am in need of a cool vehicle and my budget is 5m. Between the above mentioned cars, which would you advice I go for?

Thanks

The 4 plugs of both cars are very solid.
The Camry is more executive while the Corolla is more economical

Now depends on what you want

Oasisi:
My Camry 2007 dries up oil within 3 weeks.

Initially, oil stays in my car for 3 months but since past 1 year now, it dries up too quick.

I have tried normal Mobil blue cover, I have semi synthetic and just on the 15th of last month, I decided to go for Mobil 1 and now it’s already below the minimum calibration.

Please what called be the problem and can it be fixed?

Wahala. 2az and oil burn na 5&6. Even if you buy toks N700/800k you may still experience the oil burn.

If you are considering rebuild, please contact a very good mech to avoid severe pains in this current economic abracadabra

Just use the cheaper blue cover mobil till you are ready

azeecoboy:
Thanks boss i really appreciate your input

My fear is Nigerian used car could give me issues after purchase

Don't buy Camry 2007-2009 because their engines burns oil. Rather buy the 2010-2011
