Good evening everyone.
Please I bought my car about a month now. (Toks)

As I was bringing it in, I didn’t know the car was overheating and it burnt my gasket. I fixed it in agony.
Now just today, after parking it for 9 days I called the mechanic who told me I had to change the 4 coils, plugs and do a fresh servicing. I did all this and even bought two new gallons of coolant. Dear people, do you know that after an hour of all this, I tried to test drive , just along the way I noticed the car was over heating then I Tried to look for a little safe place And park. I opened my engine bay and noticed that gasket is burnt again! All my money down the drain! The stress, the agony, the everything. I’m so so sad! Trying really to be strong. Please people, what can I do? Now the car won’t start and I had to pay a towing van to tow it. Sorry about my grammar. My heart is just too heavy. Thanks. Any opinion is welcome.
Make , model and year of production.

Hi good morning. It is Toyota Camry 08.

Vehicle purchase is a very delicate matter even when dealing with foreign used vehicles .




Foreign used vehicles that have been involved in front impact accidents commonly have the following issues.

1. Overheating

2. Air-conditioning failure

3. Transmission failure.


Overheating

Most of all these failures are caused on Nigerian soil due to negligence and poor handling of the repair job.

Most repair jobs are done using used radiator units which could be blocked or leaking.

Some times wrong radiators are used to save cost or patched

Most cooling systems are not pressure tested after the repair job and could have small leaks which lead to overheating after purchase.

Air-conditioning failure .

Newer vehicles 2006-date. Use very sensitive AC systems which will not tolerate abuse. The use of substandard refrigerant and refilling systems without checking the level of compressor oil left , and finally refilling systems without pulling a vacuum will certainly lead to compressor damage in a very short period.


Transmission Failure

Contamination of the transmission is very common during radiator swaps , especially when the heat transfer line is not flushed , contamination gets into the transmission causing failure.


What to do.

In your current case remote diagnosis will not cut it.

A careful examination of the cooling system , replacement of sensitive systems like the radiator , water pump and pipes that might be failing is important , also checking that the cooling fans are running optimal is imprortant. Finally resurfacing the head cylinder and changing valve stem seals will go a long way to ensure engine life (if it still exists )

Overall find a good workshop to review the work done and fix.

Thank you for your response.

How can I detect if the pump had packed up
start engine, with car in neutral or park, rev engine to about 2,000rpm at that steady engine speed turn the steering, if it's easier to turn at this engine speed when idle pump is defective

Oga Gazzuzz and other gurus in the house. Pls help. A friend of mine uses Camry 2007 and here are the codes after scanning.
The codes are cause and effect.

Between the intake manifold and the airbox is an air leak. Unmetered air entering into the system bypassing the airflowmeter causing a system too lean code.

Just check the intake side for a leaking vacuum hose , or hoses not plugged in properly , clear codes after that and rescan after a day or 2 of driving

This was done but the problem still persists in the new transmission. What gives?
Valve body.

You will notice if you shift to neutral and back to drive, it will change gears .

You should confirm via live scan that gear is not stuck in third

Good evening fellas, my 2010 Ford Edge suddenly started spilling coolant/water (from where exactly I don't know) from my radiator some time ago (about two months ago). After refilling it with water that moment, it stopped and didn't happen again till last week. I really don't know what the cause is because after filling it up this morning (because I angrily dumped it since then) I let the engine run for close to an hour to see if it would occur again. Nothing. The fan is working automatically, the water didn't leak from underneath where it usually did the past two times it had previously, the temperature didn't go beyond the centre which is supposed to be normal. Yet I am afraid to drive it to work tomorrow because I don't know what might trigger it again. Please geeks in the house, what could be the cause(s) of this anomaly?
A failing fan

A failing thermostat .


When. Next it happens , check of the fan stopped working

Hello Gazzuzz I have a Honda Accord 2011 4 plugs
Transmission issue.

Gear selector on dashboard is not active. Also,even though the gearbox has been changed, we still have a problem of the gear not shifting once it gets to gear 3 that is to say that the gear shifts normally from gear 1 to 3 but once you get to gear three it does not up shift.

What could possibly be the problem?
If you have scanned it and you have no codes , replace the transmission, it is bad.
