SpaceAngel:The transmission part most likely happened. https://www.nairaland.com/7687769/first-service |
SpaceAngel:Sadly Replace Transmission, again . |

bullykay: Code P0012 Toyota Camshaft Position 'A' Timing Over-Retarded You might be able to fix this issue by replacing the camshaft timing oil control valve in pic below . For the P0420, just replace the catalytic converter in the exhaust manifold .

jceesquare:Considering we live in temps averaging 25-40deg Celcius, I see no reason why there should be a problem sir. |
FILEBE:I talked about scanning and error codes. If your exhaust leaks pre O2 sensor, vehicle will throw up errors that can be identified, those errors will cause vehicle to run less efficiently. If your exhaust leaks are post O2 sensor , you are just causing noise pollution and it has no effect to the vehicle |
jceesquare:Difference is very minimal, reason I didn't bring it up |

If there is any more I will update here. Update! There is a difference between a full tank you the owner buys, and a full tank a third party buys, temptation to steal is now higher, stop sending 3rd parties to buy full tank, you get cheated easily, do not let the full tank needle be your guide, a 100l tank will get to the full needle with 100L and also with 93L you could be loosing 5-8L of fuel (2500-4000) on every fill up when you send a 3rd party. Note your mileage when you drop off vehicle with a third party e.g, mechanic, painter etc. It is very common for a technician to use the vehicle with the most amount of fuel to run errands in the shop .

Bad Driving habits. * Vehicle idling Starting the car and leaving it to idle for 10-15 mins before leaving the house.... It's gone! Start the car, put it in drive and drive , don't waste 10-15mins of fuel.* Aggressive Driving Let me tell a short story, on my 1.4L 2009 Kia Rio I traveled from Lagos to Benin on 18Litres driving at a max speed of 100km/h I filled up in Benin to confirm. Repeat of same journey took 30L driving at a max of 140km/h and aggressively. Slow consistent driving , and not powering uphill will save you a lot on petrol, avoid the quick races, remember that for each race you win or loose, you lost about ₦500 , slap the throttle pedal gently . * Google maps . I use Google maps for the shortest of distances, I always avoid traffic and choose the best routes, learn to use Google maps with the traffic prompts on so you can make better decisions. Also teach your drivers to use the map too. * Avoid fuel additives. Those cans they sell in the petrol station will not get you any better MPG, use the money to buy petrol, it will also not keep your system clean.

Let's split the matter into parts so we don't loose focus. A. Engine Electronics * Buy a personal scan tool. Buy a portable scanner so check for errors when they appear, if you don't know what the codes mean, enter into cartalk, post the codes and we will guide accordingly. Some vehicles have had their warning lights removed by technicians and card dealers, this is the time to restore and scan. * Scan code results. Scan code results that have to do with the following will seriously affect your vehicle fuel efficiency by as much as 40-50percent. Engine running rich or lean codes 02 sensor codes P0128 coolant threshold All timing related codes Evaporative emission codes Catalytic converter codes Engine misfires MAF codes Exhaust gas recirculation codes Variable timing codes VTech codes Boost pressure codes There are more, but these are the common ones. Have them solved properly (not by clearing code) and you will save a lot on petrol. B. Suspension * Tyre pressures : keep tyre pressures at recommended levels (check drivers door or fuel tank cover) vehicles with low tyre pressures, consume more fuel than vehicles with the right tyre pressures. * Wheel alignment, Ensure your alignment is on point, when you have front wheels fighting with them selves and asphalt, it causes unwanted drag, which results in more fuel consumption. * Keep windows up when on long trips , this will reduce the amount of wind resistance the car makes, less drag more savings on fuel. * Aerodynamics, the abuse of vehicle suspension in the name of raising vehicle height usually has consequences when done poorly, when you have the head up and tail down, you are fighting to get through the air, and constantly loosing efficiency to wind resistance. Same thing happens when you load 4 adults at the back and fill the trunk with load ![]() * Sticky brakes . brake binding is a situation where the vehicle is being held down by the brake pads without application of the brake pedal. Could be caused by work done on the brake switch near brake pedal, rusted calliper pins rusted calliper prisons, faulty abs pump. Whatever the case, if you get home, splash some water on each wheel, if you have instant steam from any wheel it is binding and should be checked . C. Service and Maintenance * Filters sparkplugs and MAF. Some cars never get a replacement engine air filter all their days in Nigeria , replace your engine air filter with each oil change , clean and re gap your sparkplugs to the required spark gap. Carefuly clean MAF sensor with the required MAF cleaner, please do not do MAF cleaning unless you are sure it is required, it is not an item to clean regularly. * Fuel Pressure We don't have very clean petrol, so if your car begins to feel lazy especially after a long trip, might be time to check the fuel filter and strainer inside the fuel tank , if clogged replace, you will get better miles per gallon. In most vehicles, low fuel pressure will not show up as an error when scanned. * Blocked Exhaust system. The inability of exist gasses to quickly leave the engine into the atmosphere, will cost you more on petrol. Some vehicles are naturally predisposed to catalyst blockage e.g Honda , Acura , Ford , Kia , Hyundai. If your vehicle is one of those you might want to get it checked out, also if your catalyst has been stolen in the past and was refilled will wire mesh or a catalyst clone which also gets blocked easily you should have it checked. Know your vehicle, if a vehicle starts dragging, something is off and should be checked . Blockages in exhaust in exhaust systems will not show up on scan results for most vehicles, it takes a smart tech/owner to detect it in early stages.

nymphomaniac:I saw it, but didn't know which way to advice. The clown that put the wrong oil, would he be competent enough to safely do an oil drain? Yes his transmission is contaminated now, but it's like 25per contamination, it will not kill the transmission suddenly, but imagine same clown contaminating the entire system in the name of flushing and you now have an undrivable vehicle due to a contaminated valve body. Sometime better to just leave the sin as it is . |

Souzin:Slightly above your budget, you should message |
9icetoo:When parts can be picked up as easy as Toyota and Honda or Kia/Hyundai, I shall consider, in the meantime at arms length. |
seems I missed this Air-conditioning Proceedure in previous Repairs . Most vehicles with accidents that affect the air-conditioning system, usually develop subsequent failure after the initial repair. Procedures like flushing, vacuuming, lubricating with correct quantity of the right oils and the use of the right type and quantity of refrigerant are usually not followed. Let me give a little example. Salvaged vehicle has a ruptured line on the condenser affecting the high line or discharge pipe, pipe/line is removed to weld, pipe is welded by holding the 2 pieces by hand or on a vice while applying flux to join both pipes, welding is complete. Pipe is reinstalled, system is recharged using no barometric gauge. When the pipe on the low line is cold, and all the vents chilling, recharging stops and work on vehicle is complete and delivered to car lot of owner for use. The AC system of this sample above will fail within a very short time, reasons below. |

Femtopford:My dear brother, I was asking marpol for his experience as he got one last year or so. |
