lexini: Hi Gazzuz
I have a 2002 Camry.
The gear enters reverse immediately in the morning but takes a while to enter drive. Once it enters drive eventually, I’m fine as it changes smoothly.
My Kazeem told me to change the valve body. Is that correct? Will it solve the problem?
Thanks Start by draining the transmission fluid and replacing the strainer (filter). |

I want to get a car for Uber/Taxify.
Not driving myself, will give a driver.
I have gotten an offer for a Tokunbo 2007 Nissan Sentra and a Tokunbo 2004 Camry.
They’re about the same price range.
Which should I go for?
Thanks None |

obekediamondfuto: wow, so while changing from 13pin to 10pin, the ecu must be changed as well?
these kazeems need to know this oh the point I am trying to drive at is, we replaced gearboxes (13pin)with the right specs! But they where still acting up until we replaced the ECU's
From our autopsy reports, the old gearboxes died from faulty computers. |

Segzila: I drive a Lexus RX 300...for some time now I have had knock sensor problems P0330 and P0325 and all effort to replace failed... I have changed the sensors but the check engine light keep coming up and acceleration is very bad....recently the auxiliary went bad, I just fix that but this P0330 will not just go away....I really need ur expert advice urgently as I travel with the twice a week ability to test the replacement part is key. I learnt that 10years ago.
Let me give you a clue, Voltage is A/C not DC, not resistance.
Buy new sensors if you are unable to test tokumbor replacements.

Wilfredpat22: Please my tiny light toyota is making annoying noise or squeaks at the back rear of the drivers side whenever I pass bumpy roads? Please as the noise draws the attention of people to me
Can scanner also read Camry tiny light?the noise is annoying and comes from underneath
PS-the rods and leakages supporting the absorbers has been removed yet the noise persist
Cc gazz.uzz auto josh and all car gurus plsss you have every ones attention.
Noises from the rear of that vehicle could be caused by more than one defective part.
Any of these could cause noises from the rear.

Please note, to fix noise issues, proper Diagnosis and part testing is required.
I am avoiding the sway bar links and bushings since they have been removed.
The upper strut mounts are the first possible culprits, in most cases the 19mm nut is loose, but best practice, take it out and inspect.

Lateral arm bushings, there are 4 of them, if there is excessive play, there will be horrible noises on uneven roads.

Other factors to note. Excessive air pressure. If you have over 35psi in your tyres, you will have and unpleasant ride on rough roads.
Fake rear struts. If the rear struts are bad or Fake, they generally have horrible noises when on uneven roads. KYB struts are good and can be locally sourced. Ensure it is engraved MADE IN JAPAN and not JAPAN QUALITY.
Exhaust touching the body frame.
A loose fuel tank.
Warnings.
If your vehicle is rusted badly, this will be a partnership between the panelbeater and mechanic. It will not be a 1 day job.
2. Do not cut tyres and use as bushings.
3. When you are done ensure you do a 4wheel allignment.
4. Expect a lot of other parts to fail while doing this e.g abs wheel speed sensor, rusted brake lines and replacing possible entire parts like the rear spindle.
if you follow this by the book it will be noise free 101per.
At the end of the day the bushings might be the culprits.

obekediamondfuto: u virtually changed almost everything except the car itself and ur mechanic.
choose which one u want to change amongst the two, u will extend ur life by 20yrs when u do
PS there is a problem somewhere that is thermo-dynamic meaning th problem is there, but increases with rise in temp..... start by confirming if the transmission oil cooler line is still connected, then what kinda fluid did u use for the gear box? seahorse or abro or Mobil 1 or Mobil xhp? and yes I know what I'm saying, those kazeems can and will use even brake/clutch fluid for ur gearbox......
I strongly suspect the fluid. This year alone we have see 3 specimens in the workshop. They were all ECU related. The ECU kills the gearbox. |

Car Talk › Re: Is Toyota As Reliable As Nigerians Make It Seem. by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:24pm On Jul 21, 2018 |
FestacGirl: Is Toyota as Reliable as we try to make it seem in this country ?.
I've come to realise it's very easy to diagnose and the China inferior parts are everywhere Hence the reason why people think the parts are cheap. correct
I've used quite a few toyota's and I can say they are not very solid as people try to make it seem. wrong I had a 2007 camry bought from the states . Started shorting oil after 9 months. This is a very common problem with this model but people never mention it. Ps I used the recommenfed oil, Mobil 1 from USA 5w-30 Prone to 2az-fe built in the USA. The European /asian specs do not have same issue.
The almighty corolla we love so much is quite durable. But the suspension components are garbage and within a while the suspension noise will start.Strongly disagree The original parts are not even cheap. General for every OEM part But if you patronize the cheap Chinese you might get them cheap but they give away so fast. General for most fake parts
I'm currently using a 2008 Highlander V6 2gr (picked it over the rav4 and rx330 ) Bought it 2 months ago.
This vehicle has only 120k original miles. The movement is very quick I must say . On the glass it states the former owner has been servicing with 5w-20 Castrol and I was lucky to find couple of service history receipts in the glove compartment. The car has been taken cared of well. But I noticed quite a few perks in a car of such miles. It makes the dreaded grinding noise at start up. I already changed the oil with 5w-20 Mobil but still same. not every 2gr has same issue, but it can be replaced.
Why would a car of this mile be having vvti issues then I searched Internet . This is a common issues with this vehicle, The rav4 v6 , highlander v6 , auRion and Co . From 2006 -2010 . Toyota didn't issue any recall infact I found out it was a night mere for most users as they sold theirs when he noise started.
I also have foul smell from the exhaust when I accelerate You should not be able to perceive exhaust fumes from the cabin. Is vehicle previously salvaged? . My catalytic converter is in good condition. No Cel . Most people also complain of this issue on the rav4 and highlander from as low as 30k miles.
This smell is scary because even with the windows up I smell it in the interior.
Their are loads of shitty issue I've noticed on toyota but people will ignore because of the hype.
The 2gr I heard is over 500k. 340k
The camry 4plug engine is over 250k and it's not very durable. ** Start up sounds even from using the right oil ** Burning oil . ** The engine is also quite lazy. Ecu tuning
I feel this brand is over hyped. very sturdy build and easy to fix And people spend hundreds since it is not thousands why should we complain? repairing this cars but they don't find anything wrong in doing that. But if it was a Honda with such problems they would give it names.
If it was a Honda or Nissan it would have been crucified. |
