i agree with you 1000%.. .. i dont know much about cars at all. but i use common sense when dealing with certain situations.. can you believe few mechanics wanted me to change my A/C compressor from automatic to Manual.? i was told that manual compressor was the best and it does not spoil easily etc.. And i thought to myself if the car manufacture wanted the manual compressor , am sure they would have done that long time ago. People should stop converting car manufacture specifications to their own needs... A/C compressor do have a life span , and once that life span expires a new compressor should be replaced. simple as 1,2,3

Hi Gazzuzz.. Nice car, congratulations on this sale.

Please I would like your expert advice on this ; which model year of the Toyota Camry would prefer from 2010 - 2013? Can you place more emphasis on the 2012 - 2013.

Thank you.

NB; Vehicle variants is LE 2.5L. God bless you as you reply.

Dear Gazzuz,
I have a 2009 BMW 750Li
The car came with balloon rear shocks
Initially the rear driver shock goes down after aprking the vehicle for a while but comes up when the vehicle is started. I later discovered that the rear passenger shock was doing the same thing but the rear driver side stopped. Later both shocks were goig down while am on motion and sometimes they will go down when parked or they wont even after parking for two days. This is highly abnormal, not sure if its a sensor problem or leaking balloons. Can you help? assist bro

Hello,
Help is needed with this car. A corolla 2009 (dubai) 1.8l, auto trans.

Car has heavy vibrations, a rough idle and rpm at idle is low, btw (500 to 600) when in DRIVE and (550 to 650) in NEUTRAL. This is after car is warmed up.
When a/c comes on, rpm first drops (300-400) then increases to about 800 and car is more balanced (less vibrations) but very sluggish between gears 1,2 and 3.

Things noticed in the car.
- heavy vibration at idle (better in N worse in D)
- slow acceleration (especially when a/c is on)
- loss of power (difficult to overtake, difficult going uphill)
- delayed shift in gears & slipping gears
- High fuel consumption (seems to be getting worse)
- Recently I noticed oil reduction. After oil change, oil level dropped to about half within a month.
- Noticed some leakages around the cylinder head.(No leakages on the floor where I park)

I have had this problem for over a year but its visibly getting worse.

Work on the car so far.
-Changed 3 of the 4 coils earlier in the year.
-Changed spark plugs
-Serviced & cleaned throttle body (electrical one)
-Nozzles tested/serviced
- Serviced transmission and oil change
-Changed car engine earlier in the year due to overheating (problem was and still present after engine change)

Recently
-Changed throttle body
-Changed alternator (rewire said it was an electrical issue) - problem not solved
- Changed engine mount - still heavy vibrations
- Nozzles, coils and spark plugs have been checked and are said to be fine. Also the O2 sensors, Mass Air flow, throttle pedal inside the car were checked.
- A pressure test was done on the radiator, it was said to be ok.
- Compression test was done on all cylinders, they were said to be ok.
- Injector nozzles and fuel pump were tested as well.

The only observation from the tests was that engine was running rich.

Vehicle had displayed no error code until last 2 weeks, put in a thermostat because there wasn't any and fan was run directly. car displayed a code afterwards but didn't check till the next day when a brain box was tested with the engine.

The code is P0010 came up afterwards.(The codes P0717 and P0335 came up on the previous engine but didn’t on the new one)

Catalytic converter was taken out last week (problem still persist)

The mechanics have advised that the engine be opened up examined but I have told them to hold on.

Kindly Help.

I need your advice. I have a corolla 2005 I bought last year(Nigerian Used), I put it up for Uber when I first bought it and had to take it back after 2months after seeing the deplorable state the guy had put the car in. Lately I decided to put it back on the road for Uber again and did some fixes and changes to make it Uber standard.
I did a full suspension change, changed the whole AC unit( compressor, condenser,evaporator) then had the mounts changed cause it has been vibrating, but even after the four mounts have been changed the car still vibrates. The plugs were recently changed(I cannot ascertain this coz my brother took the car out, it developed some problems and his mechanic claimed to have changed the plugs and a coil).
The car is now in shape but the Uber driver says the vibration still persists. What could be the cause if this annoying vibration? PLEASE HELP!!!
