Car TalkRe: Club-Lexus by homeboy205: 9:25pm On Dec 28, 2021
So I will just leave this here for future references.

Today I went to the mechanic and have my sticking caliper repair, while the repair is going on, the brake fluid was lost in the process. The reservoir was near empty but we didn’t know until I started the car after bleeding.

Immediately the parking “BRAKE” stay ON even with the parking brake disengaged. We topped off the oil and the light won’t go away. Which bring headache for everyone there, but I didn’t bother much about it. I just drove off and find a place to chill with some bottles. When I got there, I disconnected my battery terminal for 1 hour for the OBD to reset everything. After this is done, everything is back to normal.

Some of my friends were so worried for me already lol, like it’s a BIG deal… they were saying it could be ABS without ABS error light. So Funny.


Just in case you have this kind of issue, Car is 05 ES 330

PLEASE NOTE: if your car is not in tuned up before removing the terminal, you will face other problems like low idle. I am not responsible for that grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
Car TalkRe: My Corolla 05 Car Is Stalling. by homeboy205: 1:06pm On Dec 28, 2021
AutoMoTech:
This is another angle too. But having looked at the code there is no P0300/random cylinder misfire.
The error code P0353 is specific to cylinder 3 circuit/wiring fault and therefore P0303.
Meaning there is an existing fault in that circuit.

So my assumption is the misfire "might" have caused the lean code.
They have swapped coils and he said the problem stopped. So I’d suggest he try the treating the lean code first
Car TalkRe: My Corolla 05 Car Is Stalling. by homeboy205: 5:38am On Dec 28, 2021
Treat the p0171, the lean code go Dey throw random or multiple cylinder misfire

Car TalkRe: My Toyota Camry03(big Daddy) Show Oil Indicator On The Dashboard by homeboy205: 7:52pm On Dec 25, 2021
Awkabigboy:
Okay , thank you. Can they just follow under the car to service the oil pump mesh or just they loose the engine to do that? Because mine is showing the oil sign after I topped my hydraulic oil when it showed break sign. Now break sign is gone after topping the hydraulic oil while the oil sign is there.

I dont believe my oil pump has failed reason been that I just worked on the car two weeks ago and changed oil pump, it pumped oil sufficiently in my presence . But then after I changed oil yesterday the oil was so dirty so I suspect the oil pump mesh could have dirty. Please i need your reply
If you just changed the oil pump, that means they must have washed the mesh.

You need to check the oil sensor is working.

And maybe the oil pump they put is not working efficiently

This oil pump mesh filter is it same as oil filter that is changed when one changes oil?
No, that is oil filter been changed when you do a servicing.

The oil pump mesh is on the oil pump screen, it is inside the button tray(sump)

Car TalkRe: First Body Lexus RX330. Faulty Gear Box Going For 2.1m by homeboy205: 9:19am On Dec 07, 2021
Dozieson:
It is not easy for a car in Benin. They may not have a 13pin 4 wheel drive gear box at the moment. He may need to ship from Lagos. The mechanic will charge about 70k, oil will cost about 40k. The gear box about 350k. If it works fine, then you are good. Sometimes, it might turn out that the tokunbo gear box may be faulty, you have to remove within one week and send back to Lagos. Imagine you have to go through this until you get a perfect working gear.
Mehn if the car fit reach lagos with the faulty gear, he go sweet
Car TalkRe: First Body Lexus RX330. Faulty Gear Box Going For 2.1m by homeboy205: 11:16am On Dec 06, 2021
Dozieson:
If the gear box is 22pin(U660) the Tx price will be about 600k. If it is 13pin, it should be about 350k.
It should be 13 pin

If you have 14mm, you only need to use it on the adjuster.

I did aggressive driving this morning and 1pin has dropped from half tank with my AC on. I went underneath to look at the catalyst and I was seeing like some lil smoke,maybe because I did zero to 100 within 9 seconds and parked. Well I heading to my guy mechanic today.
TAKE THE CATALYST OUT AND SEE WITH YOUR KOROKORO EYES.

Also don’t drive car until you confirm the catalyst.
Warning: make sure you are there while panel is working on the catalyst to avoid story that touches

What kind of Lexus do you drive huh

Tomygins:
I am not here for chat,I need solution remotely,DIY stuff pls.
Lol na para you Dey, your fan is not suppose to start directly at start up, which means thermostat is missing.

You don’t need a big shop or standard mechanic for this. You need a good scanning tools. I’d suggest you get yours. Once you scan start from the code you got.

And for the catalyst, have the panel bring out the 2 exhaust manifold and see with your korokoro eyes.

What kind of Lexus are you talking about self ??
Car TalkRe: My Brake Pad Clip Always Coming Off by homeboy205: 2:32pm On Nov 22, 2021
alatbaba1:
Please my nairaland auto gurus. Help me. I stay and work in a remote area. I drive up to 40km to get to the nearest auto part dealers shop. I'm running insane. My Toyota corolla 2009 brake pad clips always comes off while driving. It make my braking noisy and its not safe, I always wonder the victims car tire that will pick those tiny metal on the road and repair cost to fix their tires. My car is too quiet and serious rattle noise while braking and it vibrate my steering wheel also. Its occurs mostly on the right front leg, immediately i feel vibration on the steering while braking i instantly know it has come off. The road to my area is fairly rough but I'm not the only one driving on the same road and others car clips don't come off.

Those mechanics know me. Anytime my car visits the auto mech shop. "Oga has come ... Musa go and get clips" its relatively cheap to replace but it's annoying at the same time. I visit a mech shop because of a #500 fix less service charge. They have tried different style to fix the clip, Some even add some thin layer of used rubber. It came off same day. The mech guy tried to bend the clips fingers to make it firm on the brake caliper, all failed. We tried using another type of clip, still came off

How do i install this clips permanently.

chiderajude:
Hello guys,

My accord started vibrating when on gear and vehicle is stopped (it started gradually not at once sha).

Although there’s no vibration when the car is in neutral.

I’ve changed the 5 engine seat at least once each, when you scan the check engine light it shows error P0420 (catalyst issues); so that cannot be the reason.

Can anyone recommend a solution as I’ve spent a lot trying to fix this vibration issue.
Does it fire well?

Catalyst fit don block breathing of the car.

Have panel remove and see since you don change engine seat.

Or check exhaust rubber hanger

Car TalkRe: RESOLVED - Transmission Issues: Honda CRV 2002 model by homeboy205: 9:37pm On Nov 15, 2021
kormene:
Wow, how did I get here? Have been researching on CRV tranny issues now for weeks to no avail.
Carelessly I haven't serviced my tranny for about 2 years now cos last time I went my mechanic said I disturb too much that my oil is healthy thus I should leave it.
That went into my head and I forgot to service gear for two years now.
Trouble started when I went to fix my suspensions and I carelessly asked my mech to gauge my tranny oil which he did and shouted that it was empty.
I had no extra cash on me cos I was only prepared for my suspensions, however, I asked him to top it up with 1 litre Oando something ii oil I use which he did and that was it.
Trying to drive out I noticed delayed engagement and he said it was cos of no oil which I doubted but long story short we ended up pouring 4 litres and thing became worse.
1. Delayed engagement from P to D
2. Uneven switching when driving
3. On speed slippage

God, am tired.

He said I should service the sensor abi solenoid which I did and later changed it from another another Honda car.

Bottom line is gear still bad.

From this trend think I'll do a scan on the car before anything else.

Any suggestions plz help meanwhile thanks I really appreciate your all
Sad thing be say, those mechanics you visit without knowing what’s wrong with your car first Dey spoil car.

Car wey you drive reach there before dem see say no oil, and na hin say make you nor worry say your gear Dey ok…

That first 1 liter wey you top up na hin spoil the gear.

Mechanic wan chop
Everybody wan chop

Try draining and refill with original recommended oil and see how things play out

Good Morning All.

My 2008 Lexus ES 350 suddenly starts overheating on a trip to Ilaro last week. All checks by my mechanics didn't detect any hose damage or leakages.

Again it overheats on my way to Ogbomoso 2 days ago, I pulled over to let it cool down and when I checked the radiator, the water was intact.

Vehicles was driven back to Ibadan, and taken to mechanic workshop for another thorough check. Mechanic said I need to change the radiator to double cell.

Pls is that correct?
