Nice....does the AC work?

AC works perfectly

emmaak2:
This is mine just little shortage in oil

Idle with the AC on

Mileage 304320

This car travelled to mars.

homeboy205:
True 1000 is too much but this is what I’m talking about

Ac loaded while parked in gear

I am not a auto expert. I think it's still okay.

Chelseafan1:
Have you changed engine, has the car started smoking?

I have not changed engine and the car doesn't smoke. The car steams in a cold morning. I have changed radiator, did some repairs on transmission this year and some little components. The only problem i have is very little shortage of oil since I changed from 20w50 to 5w30 synthetic oil since last year. The shortage could be leakage somewhere. Gazzuzz will help me change the engine soon.

dancok:
though have changed engine.

at what mileage

homeboy205:
Nice broda is that the normal idle RPM for you

I was thinking it should be over that line about going to that 1000 rpm

I think it is normal. 1000rpm is too high for idle

oblo:
Shows you maintain your ride well. Please go ahead. You don Waka pass me sef. My 04 nissan murano has done 188k miles. I intend going way past 400k miles.

your murano is strong, any repair on the transmission?.

dancok:
Huh, mine is almost 300000.

Nice. What part have you changed or replaced. I will post pictures of the engine bay and the body.

jossytech:
alawapa, wakawaka

Lexusgs430:
The moto don waka ó...... Hope you dey put money aside for cosmetic surgery.......

Still strong. I wana take it to 500,000.

My car mileage just clocked 260,000 miles. See attached photo. Car is corolla S. 04 model.

NobleEngineer:
how far? any development? how did you solve this problem.

something was replaced and I also changed the transmission oil. So far since March, it has not give any problem.

chukel:
same thing happened to a friend's 04 corolla sport. Only difference is that he sped over a bump cos it was dark and didn't see it. Ended up replacing the transmission. Still shows solenoid code. Returned 2 transmissions cos of that code. Yet the 3rd still has the code. Movement is swift, so he is living with the code.

How much was the transmission

OriEyeLe:
Modified.

No, most of mechanics in Ilorin are fraud. I go there every weekend. Especially if you show them you know nothing about car the first time. Your own don done, I remember when I had problem with my pencil Camry v6, the plugs were bad and the meco told me to be putting injector cleaner, in fact he said he never seen a pencil Camry with 6 plugs, before he was able to remove those plugs, took almost half a day, imagine. My current corolla, there was a time it's consuming fuel and there telling me nonsense until someone here in nairaland told me what to do and I did and I didn't experience it again,same way the ac man in Ilorin didn't put enough gas and he said my compressor is bad, I had that feeling the man Na fraud, I traveled to Osogbo opposite ripples and the man gauge everything and said the gas is not enough, since last year November, the ac is still freezing only by putting right amount of gas, what they know how to do best in Ilorin is yellow taxi with that frog like headlamps. I'm not saying there are no good auto mechanics in Ilorin but Im yet to see one.

I gave the opinion that Gazzuzz should open a auto workshop in Ilorin. SAVE ILORIN CAR'S

ray48:
Congratulations. At least d car is working fine now.

Yes thanks.

GAZZUZZ:
The scam has been completed
congrats sir.

Oga Gazzuzz, I know the possibility of getting scammed is inevitable with my little technical knowledge and the fact that I can no longer endure the stress. I just want the car to be alive again. It is possible that the mech just removed that part from a scrap and claimed it was removed from my car. I want to suggest that you open a workshop in Ilorin with capable hands so in order to forestall future occurrences.

Good afternoon to you all. Let me update you guys. I finally allowed the Mech guy that scanned the transmission to go ahead and do repair on the gear. I posted the codes here and it was suggested that it was electrical problem. But he said it wasn't electrical after carrying out more diagnosis. Later, his findings revealed that the transaxle system was the culprit and needed to be changed, I consented with the mind that something must be done at least. The stress I have undergone in the past 2 weeks has become unbearable so I decided to give him a trial. He replaced the "transaxle " (picture attached) and informed me the gear is now working fine. After close of work yesterday, we met and test drove , it was smooth drive for 3 trips. We returned to his workshop to scanned the car, no code. Meanwhile, we drained the gear oil and replaced with 4 litres of type t-IV before we test drive. I hope no problem resurface as I drive the car throuthro today. Thanks to everyone that contributed especially Oga Gazzuzz and others. I will keep you guys posted.

your stupidity and foolishness is unrivalled. Stop displaying daftness

GAZZUZZ:
geovidal please buy a small hand held Bluetooth Scanner (5,000 konga or jumia), connect it to your smart phone and test, get an untrained mechanic that can speak English Hausa, or Youruba, get a smart phone that can do video conferencing via whatsapp, once all this is set call me.

Thanks Boss.

GAZZUZZ:
sadly you are not very technically inclined, and presently at the mercy of technicians around you.

I wish I could be of more help, but the mafia is strong.

New gear loading. . I Will need your help when the time comes.

geovidal:
Thanks boss, I will update you

Hello gazzuzz, I did exactly as you said with the help of another mechanic, he diagonosed that the transaxle system in the gear that has fault. He was also the one than scanned the car with his device that revealed all those codes. He said he can make the gear work again if I give him the go ahead. My worry now is that the code pointed to torque converter and now transaxle or whatever. How do we go about this.

oluwaseunla:
Geovidal, you can call this guy in Ilorin:

Imperial Auto Clinic
0706 771 8297.

Never met him, but I was told he is foreign trained. Hopefully, he may be able to help since he is local. He used to operate a workshop inside Lubcon station beside stadium a few years ago, but I think he has moved.

Thanks

Alvin007:
I have never been an ass licker all my life..but I don’t seem to understand what the man’s crime is ?..Coz he visits Google?...don’t you visit google for answers to your questions? How does google gather information? Isn’t it through people’s inputs?
Do you know there are a lotta questions that have been answered by this man, alongside other professionals...through this forum?
And when you’re faced with similar issues, what does google do when being asked?...it simply re-directs you to him...and other professionals here..(at least those close to your location)..Young uniformed man...stop hating..don’t beef...repent and become a vegetarian..you won’t move forward in life if you continue this way.

Just ignore him. He is ignorant, we are all learning and nobody know it all.

GAZZUZZ:
seems the socket just came off.
Geodeval go and push down all the sockets in this area down your self, it is under the battery area. Push harness down firmly, also check if rodents( rats) have been nibbling on your wires in same area.

Thanks boss, I will update you

geovidal:
To update you guys, car still at home. I 've been busy throughout the week due to nature of my work but hopefully I will try more hands to diagnose the problem.

Vehicle has been scanned. The following codes are shown:
1. P0741, torque converter stuck.
2. P0974
3. P0977
4. P2716.
Please help a brother. Gazzuzz, kingreign, kashif,autologic. Thanks

To update you guys, car still at home. I 've been busy throughout the week due to nature of my work but hopefully I will try more hands to diagnose the problem.

autologic:
your transmission need thorough diagnosis
Call engr (0803 391 6844) he will sort you out.

Thanks

GAZZUZZ:
this is wrong for a 2004 corrola.

There is no vSS on the gearbox for output speed to the cluster.

The 2002-2003 has a VSS on the gearbox.

The test above will not move the needle because the wheel speed sensors transfer information Via abs unit to the cluster.

Tow your car home we will continue diagnosis from there.

This is getting complicated, I have towed the car to my house. I just want to solve the problem once and for all cos it has hindered me from doing so many things. My work place is outskirts of Ilorin 2hrs drive to and fro.

Kashif:
The input shaft I am referring to is the one that enters the gearbox. You won't know unless you put a scanner. Is your sump dented?

Raise the front tyres and see if they spin in D.

ok sir

NobleEngineer:
most of the mechanics in ilorin are very incompetent. Especially when you have a highly technical issue with your car, you feel like giving up. My car still rattles on acceleration till today (no CEL or error codes thrown) no mechanic in town could fix it. last last i was told "na so Toyota engine dey do" lwkmd.
OP lets collabo and tow our vehicles to Gazzuz's workshop in lagos.

cc: Gazzuz

from Ilorin to Lagos. Do you think it's feasible? How much do you think it would cost

Alvin007:
Dear op, did you scan this car... (transmission codes) at all?...I think you should do that before concluding on replacing your gearbox.

I will scan tomorrow thanks.

Kashif:
Strange. No forward, no reverse? Just like that.

Check sump. Is the input shaft spinning?

Yes o, just like that. Shaft not spinning.
