CMGO:

naturally:

Ikenna351:
I am beginning to believe the source of that noise were my tyres. These were brand new tyres I bought last year. Have done some trips with the car since the tyre replacement, but it appears they have started becoming noisy on roughly tarred road. Abuja road can be deceptive sometimes, when it comes to knowing noisy tyres or not, untill drive outside town. Will stay away from that tyre brand.

Or did you experience it as well?

I use ap viscoe 2000. The oil filter is always changed after every service. Meanwhile it happens only at cold start. Usually in the morning or when the car is left for a long time. But afterwards you don't hear the rattling again.

Devirus2:
Help! Car gurus...my 2005 toyota camry has a rattling noise when starting, thereafter it stops. my mechanic says it's the chain and I need frequent oil change than regular. Please how do I stop this as it's giving me concern. And secondly how do I correct the acceleration as it's not responsive like my acura v6. I guess they say it uses a sensor. It responds 1sec after pressing it, instead of the normal response I'm used to. Is this normal since it uses a sensor?

bimbor:
Is there any official Toyota Dealership in Nigeria?

bimbor:
Won't the airbags deploy in an attempt to change it? Because I know the airbag is under the dashboard.

bimbor:
What I meant is that do they sell 2008 Camry dashboard here in Nigeria? I mean exactly like the one that came with the car.

And where can someone get it?

Hi Ikenna,

I recently changed my front windshield and i've been having issues with automatic wiping. When the wiper is set to auto it only does a 5sec interval wiping no matter the amount of water poured on the screen.

The sensor was carefully removed when removing the old windshield and carefully placed on the new one. Attached are screenshots of the type of sensor my D9 uses and also a screenshot of the new windshield purchased.
Unluckily for me the rear windshield just broke to pieces on it's own. I have also replaced that but was unable to get a new one. The issue with this is that it did not come with the heater connector. Though, when removing the old rear windshield, i found out that the connector was glued to the screen.

Lastly, i noticed my top right engine mount (the one with double bushing) gets damaged so easily. I've had to change it twice in the past month.

Kindly advice me on the best way to resolve this issues.

pragmatistm:
You scared me. Are you saying the torque converter might be bad?

pragmatistm:
The car is year 2000 wagon and engine size is
2.0. CVT transmission.

I recently changed the flywhweel and torque
converter of the car. But the mechanic
ignorantly and forcefully cut out the two wires
on the connector on dropping resistor on the
transmission when he separated engine from
transmission during the repair work. The
connector got stuck together and we had to
remove the connector and join the wires only.
The car now drives without selecting the gears.
Engine revs at 2200RPM for car speed of
60/70km/h as against 1800RPM for car speed
of 90/100km/h before we did the flywheel/
converter replacement. Now when the CVT
transmission changes from high gear to low it
also immediately goes back to high gear. It will
also attempt to change again but immediately, in less than two seconds, goes back to high gear. This can be observed by the engine rpm going
down and up again immediately and accompanied with a minor jerk rather staying
down for higher speeds. Please what can be done now?

We have drained the transmission oil two
times and cleaned the magnetic filters and
refill but there still no improvement. The
transmission oil is still light red and clean for I
changed around six months ago and the car
has covered less than 1500km.
But please is there any special information on
how to place the magnetic filters on the cover
of the transmission? Or do they need a replacement?

Please, can driving the car in this state spoil the transmission? I asked because I realized that the car can still accelerate to high speed (100, 120, 130 km/h, etc) in this state.

Your comments are highly appreciated.

rickkid:
Thanks for your advice, I have now got a proper sparky to fix this electrical issue. It was actually a miscommunication between my fuse box and ECU.
The only thing is my radio which apparently has a bad power line inside it. The guy quoted me N15k for that and I said tufiakwa never! Abeg please give me a ballpark figure for how much such a repair should cost if you can.

yoddy:
Hey Gazzuzz,

See what I got from scanning my 99 honda accord. I am suspecting the manifold o2 sensor. If it is, how much does it cost to change it. The car dey chop fuel plenty.
Where is ur workshop located in lagos?

ugobanks:
Ajao Esate. Please can i reach you on phone?

ugobanks:
Hello gazzuz,pls I need your technical guidance. My car goes off on the road while I am driving. No jerks. It just goes off and restarts after 15mins. Its a toyota corolla 2010. I ran a scan and the results interpreted showed the inhibitor switch had a wrong connection. I also showed there were issues with the immobiliser communication system.
Pls what do I do

whao:
I have a 2001 Nissan Maxima which have been serving me well but recently I noticed that when ever it want to enter the second gear it will gear in hard.
I when to see a mechanic and then remove service the valve but it still enter the second gear hard and with a sound "guk". I when for diagnosis and nothing was found either. Please is there any help you can render. I use seahost DXII for the gear transmission.

Again, the car consumes lots of fuel beyond my imagination this days. It consumes 45lits from Abuja to Jos and its a V6 engine. Is there anything I can do about the fuel consumption?

Your help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

youngnapo:
Tragedy. God serve us

jayuuk:
Please guys in the house always be constructive with assertions,it pains me when i see someone in need being tossed around.
I changed mine in Aba last year 80k excluding labour,no conversion was done on the gear.

Emekayoung:
My bro has a tiny light camry which came wit manual gear,now he wants to know if its possible to convert it to auto gear. Pls is it possible? Like how much will everything cost him,both the gearbox and workmanship?

jayuuk did you red the original post?
Manual to auto swap, (gearbox,shifter,pedals,flywheel,engine mounts,harness,ecm,speed clock,transmission oil,radiator,cv joints, labour.) Its always cheaper to sell the car and buy the auto.
