dominic17: It all depends on maintenance, make sure you don't over inflate it. check the gauge at least once in a month if the pressure is low, pump it to the recommended pressure. I wish you the best Gotcha. I always tell the vulkanizer to pump them to 34psi. He always say they are too low, but I ignore him all the time. |

Nwaneke1: Good morning elders of Nairaland. Pls I need help urgently. I have a 2009 Toyota Highlander, from time to time, when it’s parked, the panic alarm will trigger on its own. At first, I’ll press the “unlock” and “lock” button on the key before it will stop. Subsequently, the panic alarm has now become more frequent and embarrassing, to say the least. At home or even at public places, it blows. I took it to a car key specialist, the specialist told me that he will recalibrate(whatever that means)the key. He did and charged me 15k. On gettin home, the issue persisted. I called him and told him, he asked me to bring the car back with the two remote keys. I went back with both keys and the car, he checked and checked and even used a special scan device to scan the car. He then told me that unfortunately, there’s nothin he could do. But that he can refer me to another person who is “guaranteed” to fix this problem but that it will cost me N40k. Pls elders, I beg for help urgently as this alarm is becoming unbearable and embarrassing to me and my household. The estate I live in have warned me cos of the noise especially in the nights. HELP PLEASE MY BRETHEREN!!! Thanks in advance. Hi. Same thing happened on my 2010 Camry XLE. It was really embarrassing. Alarm went off at random times while I was in bed. I took it to a guy and only gave him about 1,000. This could help you fix the issue, I'm not certain. He only corrected something around the latch and since that time, everything has been perfect. He corrected something that got stuck. That thing stays up after you close your hood when it should go down. It stays up like your hood is opened. Reason why the alarm system gets triggered.

Not at all. The advertised MPG for my car is 32 Highway drive. Toyota Camry XLE 2010.
I only get around 19 - 25MPG.
A full tank takes me 2-3 weeks. I don't drive that much.
I've serviced it only once, the mechanic used a wrong oil. I'll get a better oil next time and see if the MPG improved. |

Car Talk › Re: Explaining Catalysts And Catalyst Codes by Emmyk(m): 10:27am On Aug 02, 2020 |
nissparts: Continued:
When your vehicle has a catalyst issue, there are 2 alternative fixes
1. Replace the catalyst with a brand new unit(Note I said brand new unit. If you attempt a tokunbo replacement, you'll either get one which has been filled with the "ladipo" element in the exhaust pot or you'll get one fresh off a used vehicle which may have also failed as well)
2. Hollow out the exhaust pots and rid them completely of the foamy/netty substance inside them. Now because your car's computer has been programmed to accept a certain level of exhaust fumes to be detected by the monitoring o2 sensor, the consequent rush of exhaust fumes which it will detect in the absence of the foamy/netty substance will signal a red flag and you will get catalyst codes. Therefore to complete the fix, you must install an oxygen sensor spacer to limit the fumes seen by the monitoring o2 sensor. See attached. The spacer is screwed into the oxygen sensor before finally being screwed into the exhaust.
Whichever route you take out of the 2 options, a "self-learn reset" (google it) must be carried out to get maximum benefits from the repair.
Cheers Good day Nissparts . I'm currently facing this issue. I got a foreign used Camry 2010 XLE last month. It came up with P0420. I took it to a mechanic, he said the cats. have been removed. We got two Tokunbo cats at Zuba. The code came back a few days later after cats were fixed. Along the line, it started showing P0037: H02 Heater Control Circuit Low Bank 1 Sensor 2. I took it elsewhere for proper diagnosis. The man said the cats I bought were almost gone, they are blocked, preventing their full efficiency. He said I'll need to get 3 NEW cats. I was thinking my car has only 2 cats? Also said I'll need to get two NEW 02 sensors. Alternatively, according to him, he'd do reprogramming on my car and the check engine and the other warning light would go off completely (a car with the zigzags behind it), I'll have a better mpg, also, the heat in the bonnet would reduce (the temperature gauge on my dashboard is always below the half mark tho). It's my first car so I don't know much about fuel efficiency. But I get from 16mpg to 26mpg (depends on the road). He suggested I go for the reprogramming option as it is cheaper and if I go with the first option, the cats could go bad in a year's time. What are your thoughts please? I just want to warning lights on my dashboard to be fixed and have a better mpg.  I've also noticed the first mechanic that we'd have to return the two cats we bought at Zuba. I get them at 100k. |

DIOVINI: What car was it and how much? Is it possible to get a Toyota Avalon 2008 for 800k? That's the price I saw on Olist. Can it be genuine? A foreign used Toyota Camry 2010 XLE. I got a 2.45M deal. But I've spent additional 450k to make the car look my taste. I'm not sure about the Avalon. Search on the platform. If you see such deal, go with someone that's very competent to check the car. Also, collect the VIN and do some checks. |

Hey bro. Knew your username from the fiverr thread. Wanted to ask you a question. I have a skill I can offer on fiverr.. Minimalist logo design but I later find out that I might need to verify my ID later... I don't have any of the said document. I'm still a student. Can I use my brother voters card and his picture for the verification it it later comes up? Would appreciate your feedback. Hi there. Sure, you can use his and hopefully, Fiverr would accept it. If you ask me, I'll tell him to use his international passport if he has one. |

Zane2point4: Does your dash read "hood open" even though its tightly closed, just like in toyotas?? If the hood latch sensor is bad, it tells the car security system someone is trying to break in and therefore make the alarm to go off.
I had this issue once. I face this same issue in my car. |
