It comes in varying specifications 0w20, 5w20, 5w30, 0w40, 10w30.

Always read the inscription on oil covers before deciding on what engine oil to use. Most engine oils you buy are not designed for your engine even though they might be 5w30 or 20. The do not have API certification.

Please post the exact scan codes.

I discovered anytime the car is stationary, like inside traffic, the AC doesn't work well, that it doesn't blow cold, it just manages to be cold, the car be getting stuffy after a while.

But immediately it starts moving the AC be becoming cold. And it keeps on moving, it becomes ice cold, that is works perfectly.

What could be wrong?

Greetings Chief.

We've spoken on the phone a few times in the past...

You suggested the Cepsa 20w 50 which isn't a bad buy, I did that but my engine was already a mess at that point and was on a salvage mission.

Oh well sir! I was transferred to Kaduna so my vehicle was left unused for 2 months. I came back to lagos on Tuesday to take it to Kaduna.

An hour into the journey. Approaching the toll gate, Ibadan... I had engaged Cruise control earlier and kept steady @ 120kph, braked for a second, re-engaged the cruise acceleration and suddenly the RPM needle rose to 6,000, oil light illuminated on the instrument cluster and engine stalled on the highway.

I pulled over, opened the engine oil housing cap and there was smoke gushing out. Started it again and the sound of the engine was off... I immediately knew my crankshaft, metals, pistons, oil pump.. Everything was fried.. Had to tow vehicle to Ibadan.

Sir. Note that I saw this oil warning light while I drove the car a day before, I pulled over, checked engine oil and it was regular... I went to the mech and he said it was the oil fuse bla bla bla.. They fiddled with something and said everything was alright. Idiots! Or maybe I'm the idiot for trusting them too much.

If I'd known, I'd have gone to the Internet for help and perhaps I might not have made this trip in the first place.

Toyota camry, 2003. I4-cylinder, 2az fe.

What do you think sir.. Rebuild or total overhaul?

The car is in Ibadan, I'm in Kaduna.. So I can't even get it to your garage in Lagos.

And I will sit back and enjoy your several threads on engine rebuild and replacement.. Even the latest one, the Honda Accord. I didn't know my own will come so soon and my pocket will leak this badly.

Sadly you will have to replace engine. 2az-fe is about 300k at the moment, not a good time to loose an engine.

The height of water this vehicle drove thru was less than 1 foot, so first thing is understanding why this happened in the first place.

From the airfilter box to the Base of the car, under the front left fender is another air box, it's job is to keep the engine quiet and it has some piping arrangement


How vehicle came in
www.nairaland.com/attachments/5514142_img20170616115223_jpeg22b353008547f8a6ba26e9a33c19bf93

How it should be

Air gets sucked in from the top close to the bonnet latch (not the bottom as anticipated earlier) via a pipe that goes all the way down to the air box. Unfortunately this vehicle had a damaged air box at the base of the fender, and it was sucking air from the bottom, close to the tyre.


So basically engine sucked up water into the intake, and it ended up in the cylinder.

At this point engine will stall. (possibly no damage yet)

But if you notice this, try and push your vehicle out of the flooded area, remove all you spark plugs, and crank engine so all the water gets out, also remove intake manifold, an drain water Never try to Re-start vehicle.

* Problem, flood causing a Hydrostatic lock, and subsequently a frozen engine.

Understanding the problem.



Hydrostatic lock is a failure of the internal combustion engine, where the unit can’t run due to fluid entering the combustion chamber above the piston and preventing it from completing its cycle.

While the usual fuel-air mixture is compressible, allowing the piston to perform its reciprocation movement inside the cylinder, liquids are extremely difficult to compress, which means the affected piston(s) will come to a stop on the upstroke.

What can cause hydrolocking

Before we start talking about this unpleasant issue, we have to explain that water reaching the intake of your engine is not the only hydrolock cause. Alas, this can also occur due to engine coolant entering the combustion chamber (a blown head gasket causes this). Malfunctioning injectors or carburetors can also allow liquid fuel to enter the cylinder.

The Damage, in painful details

The effects hydrostatic locking can have on your powerplant depend on the state of the engine at the time the water enters the combustion chamber. If an unit hydrolocks when idling, it will normally stop and will not allow you top bring it back to life using just the starter motor. This is happiest case, where you might not experience any damage at all.

Unfortunately, if an engine hydrolocks when being revved, the consequences can be dire. Depending on the height level of your intake and the depth of the water, as well as on the various on-site parameters, the amount of liquid that enters the engine can reach one or more cylinders.

You can experience a case where a single piston hydrolocks, while the others provide enough power to keep the engine running for a while. However, when hydrostatic locking occurs at speed, the unit will usually come to an abrupt stop.

Generally, when an engine hydrolocks at speed, the force of the camshaft pushing bends the piston rods, which are folded under the piston above them. While the crankcase or the heads can be ruined in the process and the crankshaft bearings destroyed, the shock can even cause cracks in the engine block.

So basically I'm getting an engine under 86,000miles front impact, Fair enough wink

Sharply I made payment, and I called my boy who parked on one lonely street with my toyota avensis (to avoid paying 500parking fees) to come and meet me at toyota bustop.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/4049335_img20160714091058_jpegd0d29d82fca283beb7f35ca6628c1061

It was raining, they had trucked the engine to toyota bustop where he was waiting....

Normally this is a job for my old faithful Peugot 406 wagon, but one of you took her from me cry


Note this engine came with every thin apart from the serpentine belt (one sharp guy must have sniped it in the container)

OPENED boot, loaded engine waved every one good by told my boy to move to the front passengers seat while I drive (I do not like being driven)

5seconds into the drive I noticed a wobble on the steering shocked I am like abiodun, wetin you climb!!! angry

We came down and low and behold there was an oil pressure sensor stuck in the front right tyre sad

That is when you know your village people are on your case....... do not forgett I had waved the truck pushers good bye and just placed a how many tone engine and transmission on top my spare tyre in the boot and air is currently leaking out of 1 tyre in front in the rain cry

We stopped at see engine shocked

www.nairaland.com/attachments/5505388_img20170614wa013_jpeg8faf138cb0766afcd7496212d474cb3c

It was a lovely sight to behold, No oil stains, aluminum was the colour of aluminum, bolts where all shiny, and catalyst what very intact and white.
Instantly I knew she was the one I was taking back to mama!

Usually I do a VIN check before I purchase an expensive engine that has its origin from USA or Canada, apart from the usual checks when buying an engine, a vin check can give you insight into what to expect. You can always find the vin tag on the engine or transmission, and it refers to the VIN for the Vehicle the engine/transmission came from

My Vin reports are usually done by the one and only Computerglobal his reports come in quick and are always accurate.

Examples Vin reports that discourage me from buying an engine.

* flood of any kind

* Fires affecting engine area (Fire might have been put out by water)

* multiple users with high mileage (over 300k) awon taxi drivers grin

* sever Front impact the clearly Damaged the engine/transmission frame, but you see a complete engine in the market shocked (awon boys have replaced all broken parts for you, unfortunately they do not always do a good job at that)

Etc.......

You can add yours... grin

Vinreports that give me joy.

* Low mileage rollovers

* Rear impact low mileage

* Minor front impact, engine Not disabled (low mileage)

* Hail damage (Thank you Baba God)

* Insurance Fraud (you will not understand why car was even listed as salvaged grin)

* Side impact low mileage

Etc.......

You can add yours......

More coming up, I do not want to write too much so aunty spambot will not wake up cheesy
