AmandaLuv: Hello my people, Please I have a toyota siena that is guzzling a lot of fuel. This car was shipped directly from the US and has never been worked on. No issue with the car apart from the fuel ish and the check engine light on. Its bn scanned and it brought forth code p0300 P0301 P0303 Vvt system malfunction bank 1 P1349 Please wat could be wrong? Unfortunately the car is in the east as all d professionals seems to be based in lagos. Please I'll need any professional mechanic in umuahia dat can fix this for me. Not kazeeem biko. Lol From all the long chatter I read in all the posts, I can deduce your engine has a sludge problem.
I will not advice you to use the right weight of engine oil at this time 5w30, because it will shorten the lifespan of your engine
There are 2 strainers on both banks of the cylinder, they allow oil flow to the VVTI solenoids, presently the one on bank 1. Is blocked, I will show you the location of both strainers once I get to the workshop at 9am.
Remove both, have them cleaned.
Change engine oil more regularly on shorter intervals to keep engine clean. In case I forget quote me. |

Thank you sir I've got the 3rd gear pressure switch circuit changed. The code didn't return but all my gear still slips during change to upward gears. It does not slip when downshifting. What could be my gear problem o Very likely friction plate issue.

willyede: Am OK with either of them. I will recommend a wagon or a hatchback. A toyota avensis 1999 is a model I have used for over 3years without any Major issues. Get the one with preferably a 1.8liter engine.
If you can lay your hands on the 2003 model with the 1zz-fe engine it is also a fine ride. |

IdeyVex1: Chief Gazzuzz, since you don't have time to respond to my email, let me bring the matter here:
4 months ago, I got a Nigerian used Mazda MPV and I have these issues:
1. Once the fuel in the tank goes below half tank, the vehicle begins to jerk. It becomes worse the more you accelerate. I took the car on a journey once and whenever I use A/C in traffic, the car jerks irrespective of the level of fuel in the tank. Sometimes, the only solution is to stop, turn of the engine for a few minutes and then when I move, it runs like new.
2. I have had a recurring suspension problem. I have replaced lower arms, stabilizer linkages, bushings etc and the noise persists. If I take it to my local mechanic and he plays around, the noise stops for maybe a day or two and then resurfaces thereafter. I am tired of expending money on the suspension. Now they are asking me to buy new shock-absorbers for 20k but I am seriously skeptical. All I have spent on the car before now did not yield any good results
3. At speeds above 50kmph, I hear a humming sound from the left front wheel which increases in sound as the speed of the vehicle increases. My tires are new so it cannot be tires. The Mechanic says I need a new hub at 18k and I don't want to spend that cash except I am sure I am getting value for money.
There, those are the issues. How can you help? 1. Replace fuel pump complete with assembly (case)
2. Suspension. No comment.
3. Replace Wheel bearings (With OEM) or get a toks HUB |

odiereke: Oga Gazzuz sir, I av a Lexus GS300 2000 model, I recently changed my radiator to double cell. But unfortunately, water from the radiator mixed with the transmission oil in the gear twice after the radiator was bought and from Ladipo. Now whenever the engine is hot or running the gear selection is not right anymore. What do I need to do to correct the abnormalities sir? Stop buying tokumbor radiators.
Flush Transmission as many times as possible. valve body might be contaminated |

Gourdoinc: the car goes off whenerrv it enters a pool of water. no matter how hard I try to start it. it will never start. once I leave it for a while, it will start on its own. please what's the issue. this started last year rainy season, throughout the dry season it never behaved this way. once I enter a pot hole filled with water from the right side, or a large body of water. the car goes off. and will only come on after I have left it angrily for a while.
please it's by the grace of God I survived this evening, as it stopped me while overtaking a dangote trailer on a busy single lane road. I have kazeems all around me and I don't understand yoruba enough to explain my issue. gazzuz and any other guru. please what is wrong with that car water gets into your distributor, and and distorts the firing order.
Solution: insulate your distributor.
Modified: also insulate your coil if vehicle is equipped with 1
