What could be the cause and solution
The car is Lexus GS 300 and it’s a power steering ..

It's an electronic steering and Currently has a fault with the steering angle sensor which is a component on the inside of the steering rack. |

Lush100: Sir, I shouldn't bother to scan?
Well the coolant compartment has coolant on it filled to maximum. It's the coolant in radiator I was talking about. This morning when I firstly wanted to start the car, it was close to starting then made a blitz sound like 2 wire touching. Then only the regular check light came on just like yesterday. Cc: radautoworks. Not everything is about scanning . Engine does not crank and you are scanning? Scanning for what exactly? |

Lush100: Ok.sir, I will get an electrician (rewire) check it . But radautoworks says I should not let a rewire lay hands on it. I am kinda confused now. Oga Get an auto electrician to check for partial contact from battery terminals.
Worst case the starter motor will be repaired. |

debeey87: For Toyota Corolla 2009 American Spec, does the hub needs to be replaced to fix a bad wheel speed sensor at the rear of the car?. That was what a mechanic said yesterday when I told them to replace it.
Earlier when I scanned the car, the resulting code indicated the sensor was bad YES you do . The abs wheel speed sensor is a fixed component of the rear wheel bearing in the south African and American models. |

com1234: Please, since the 2AZ engine in RAV4 2006-2008 series is said to be having oil consumption issues, 1. would picking the v6 version with 2GR engine be a better choice? 2.Is there huge difference in the cost of the gear box for the i4 and v6 RAV4 2006-2008? 3. Are there any other special problems with the 2007-2008 V6 RAV4 apart from more fuel consumption?( E.g the automatic transmissions etc)
4. Kazeems here are telling me that the 4x4 version is plagued with "auxillary" issues, is this true?

Amaaf: Dear GAZZUZZ, I have 2004 Avalon that I believe consumes fuel abnormally. The best I get when traveling is 17mpg, and 14 to 15.5 within city, from dashboard readings. The car had issue with thermostat sometimes ago and the "rewire man" bypass the thermostat by connecting the fans directly with a relay. Also, the radiator has been changed to double cell (an advice from my mecho). There is 'Check engine' with VSC lights on. The car constantly gives error code P0135, even before the radiator was changed. Many thanks. Engine operating temperature, and engine emissions, pay a vital role in basic fuel economy.
The mechanical thermostat is there to restrict the flow of coolant until engine temp reaches required state. The electrical fans are controlled by the engine ecu to start functioning only when the operating temp has reached threshold and stop running at a predetermined temp.
The oxygen sensors are there to monitor exhaust gasses so that the engine ecu can tweak the injector pulses, vary the timing patterns, and switch the egr settings.
All these have to happen to get optimal fuel economy.
In answering your question I will have to also be practical .
If you have been running your engine on water for a long time, there is a high probability that the Aluminum water channels and joints and thermostat housings and water pump might be corroded . Removing thermostat and placing fans directly reduces the pressure within the coolant system which makes it less prone to leaks from corroded areas.
My advise would be to inspect the coolant system , before restoring connections and thermostat. Replace the radiator with a brand new unit, replace the faulty oxygen sensor.
All should be fine after that.
You currently have a drivable car, if you cannot do the restoration by the book, do not start, because it might leave you with a damaged engine and an undrivable car. |

only moderate to severe cases will be managed at the isolation centers while the asymptomatic and mild cases will be managed at home. The thing don turn malaria. We have been treating at home.
There is no escaping it, it will run its full course before it ends. At the end of the day we will have a stronger more immune society .
