Don't kill urself because of Toyota check engine light bros, that light will always come for a Toyota in that year except you replace o2 sensor. What should bother you is the noise, pls see a technician asap o
I've seen two and they both don't know what to do because the noise only comes when it feels like. Nothing I do brings it up. I drove it for an hour today plus a mechanic drove it and everything was sound no noise.

I'm scared of driving it that way so my engine won't knock.

Explain the both pls.
It was a typo. The mechanic only cleaned the valve but didn't change it. I actually wasn't there when he cleaned it but I asked and he said he has.

To cure OCV malfunction isn't a DIY thing neither is it a job of someone who's not versed in modern engine repairs.

First step, you need to change oil and filter and clean the OCV valves, then observe. If it doesn't go, then replace the OCV valve with a good unit whose screen/filter isn't blocked. You should also check the harness for breakage or stuff. If all these doesn't work, that engine should be opened and checked for the cause of the malfunction.


NOTE:

Most OCV malfunction occurs due to delayed oil change or non adherence to factory oil spec recommendations or sludge in engine.
Oil changed
Oil filter changed
OCV valve cleaned
OCV has not been replaced
Harness has not been checked
Oil used is Mobile XHP
Observations done - no change - engine still makes loud noises intermittently

The Check engine light is permanently showing on my dashboard on my camry 03. I scanned with scanner it shows OCV circuit error.

My mechanic opeproned the bottom tray cleaned the sum but the problem still persists.

The engine also makes a loud noise like a local grinding machine intermittently after driving it for some time like 20 mins to an hour.

That code is for a sensor, change the sensor first and see how is goes.

If the error is back, CHANGE YOUR MECHANIC

Tell the new one to open the bottom tray( cos the right English is engine sump but they will not understand) once they open the bottom tray, have them remove the mesh oil filter and wash it with petrol. DONT ALLOW THEM TO CHANGE THE OIL PUMP.

The sensor you are looking for is at the back of the engine around passenger side and right below the top engine cover
Thank you so much for this. I will do just as you have advised and give feedback after.

I still don't understand the bolt you are describing.
From my understanding and experience on shaft I have replaced the car is a front wheel drive.
The CV shaft goes through the the wheel hub into the transmission and the spline goes into the gears.

If yours is attached to the transmission by bolt, how many bolts should be there and how many is actually there.

if you are missing bolts and/or the bolts is loose it will break from torque
Clearly you know a lot about cars and I don't. I'm inly learning about cars now. So this is my best explanation.
Please send videos where I can improve my knowledge on cars.

Also I have a challenge with my Camry 03, can you help? It's in the car talk section.

sultaan:
Can you explain again what you mean by shaft breaking, is it the metal shaft that breaks or the rubber boots that tears
Actually, the bolts that tie the shaft to the engine was breaking off. They were replaced twice but broke off. Then the last time, the mechanic kind of used a different screw that locks from behind.
Car TalkRe: My Skoda Fabia Shaft Gets Damaged Twice In Two Months by ivcraig(op): 4:10am On Dec 16, 2020
It was a simple fix. Took it to a mechanic that used a different type of bolts.
Car TalkP1656 TOYOTA - Oil Control Valve Circuit Malfunction by ivcraig(op): 3:50am On Dec 16, 2020
I just purchased a Toyota Camry 03 and I noticed, the engine makes a wierd noise sometimes.

The dashboard light indicates "Check".

I scanned the car with an OBDII scanner and it showed this error code: P1656 TOYOTA - Oil Control Valve Circuit Malfunction

I showed a mechanic and he said I will need to change oil pump/filter or so but the error doesn't say that's what's wrong. He said oil is not being supplied appropriately to the engine, so when there's shortage of oil, the engine makes the noise.

Has anyone ever had similar experience?

Kindly assist as I don't like trial and error when fixing cars, because it wastes a lot of money.

Then check your lower arm, absorber, bushing and linkages.
Thanks. I'll use this to guide the mechanic. They seem to not have a clue yet.

EkoErrands:
Your vehicle is probably an acidented vehicle ...and your chassis is out of alignment. So your shaft will keep stripping at the head.
Can't the chassis be realigned to fix the problem?

Solution...go get a new skoda.
Really? Is the situation that hopeless?

Mitsubishi Sigma did this to me through out my final year in Uni
Must have been a pain.

Go get a tokunbo shaft if you can get it. You are simply wasting your money on substandard part.
I changed it to a tokumbo part last month.

Hello guys I need help. My Skoda Fabia drive shaft keeps breaking. I have fixed it twice two months ago and last month. It just got bad two days ago and I got stuck in the middle of a bridge.

I need help because the mechanics seem to have no clue what's causing it.

Thanks.

Truth is we have truly wasted an opportunity to break from the past, the last 16 years of PDP reign of locust clearly push us off course. Now we need huge tracks of money to invest in the sector and have no such money around.
It's the will to do what's right that we lack. I don't believe it's about what Political Party manages the government.
