Cost implication for 4wheel drive gear box.. Low mileage

Dear Gazzuzz...

Pls kindly respond

GAZZUZZ:
Not same Gear

Cost implication for 4wheel drive gear box.. Low mileage

GAZZUZZ:
Front wheel drive or 4 wheel drive?

4 wheel drive Boss

GAZZUZZ:
Depending on the amount of risk involved, I dabble into other vehicle models occasionally .

Toyota and Lexus dominate the market, their parts are highly sort after

Dear Gazzuzz,

My challenge is a tokunbo low mileage transmission (Gear Box)

For my Highlander 2004 V6 3MZ.

Pls what is the way forward on this..

GAZZUZZ:
replace oil filter only.

Reset maintenance light.

Hondas can be very silly with their oil life counter. (Good for us mechanics and part sellers )

Pls don't...

Look for a good AC technician, and still maintain original AC parts that came with ur car.

My candid opinion..

mesheal7:
Its been weeks now, and I've travelled quite some. Noise is gone

Point of information..
I learnt alot on your post and feedbacks.
Very educating.
Thanks

Dear Gazzuzz,
I have same TPMS issue on my camry 2008.
Please the link u provided is not accessible.

How do i contact the recommended person for assistance. Thanks in advance.

GAZZUZZ:
Corolla uses the 4 sensors on the wheel.

The spare tyre is not a regular tyre size and does not support TPMS.


This guy sells reprograms and installs .

Lol! @ Platinumricky.



@ immune#1,

I agree with you on your write up except one: No OBD II scanner for every car owner. I strongly disagree with you on that. There is nothing wrong with DIY ( Do it Yourself) . Dont discourage it. There is nothing wrong with a car owner finding out by himself/herself what is wrong with his vehicle. Even if he/she cant do the replacement of the faulty part(s), at least he can take it to a mechanic to check the very failed part the scanner indicated or replace it for him, to prevent the trial and error our mechanics engage in. Only the OBD II scanner will make it easy for a non-technical minded person to be able to do so and understand his or her car better. OBD II scanner was not invented for the mechanics or rewires only, its also a DIY tool.

Even with my technical-how on cars, i still take my cars to a mechanic to fix sometimes, depending on what that is, but must not be electrical. I would take my car to a mechanic to change brake pad for me, if i feel i dont have that strength to do it at that time, but under my supervision or being watchful so that he doesnt touch where i wouldnt want him to. There are some mechanical parts that i donot have the tools to replace them yet. In that case, i will take it to him to replace for me or i simply buy the tool and do it myself, if i can afford it at the moment. But i do the troubleshooting myself. And anything that concerns electricals, i troubleshoot and fix it myself, no matter how long it takes.

So, i take exception to that your opinion "No OBD scanner for non-technically savvy car owners" , unless thats not what you meant. With the scanner, they will become one and properly man their vehicles.

And please, i believe this Car Talk section was created for the this: DIY. For people to learn, have better understanding of their vehicles and possibly learn how to fix some issues with their vehicles. It was created for vehicle owners, aspiring future vehicle owners and including the auto mechanics/rewires.

Ikenna.

Thanks so much.

nurey:
both are identical in all areas except fuel economy where the Camry is better. Camry is also poor in the security department, armed robbers magnet

Please compare the following in terms reliability, maintenance, availability of parts, and fuel economy.

dicksonadams:
Hi does the oil drips on the floor? I recent noticed an oil leak on my Pontiac vibe 2005, I thought it was the valve cover gasket, but after some research (Google and YouTube) I found out it was a weak oring around my timing chain tensioner a common cause of oil leak for my engine type.

So find out if the oil drips on the floor and if you need to top the oil between oil change {if not and if your car is above 15yesr old, I will say don't sweat)

Oil does not drip on the floor.. It only stay on top of the valve cover

Dear Gazzuzz,

I have oil leaking from my valve cover gasket .

2Gr-Fe Camry 2008. Could PCV be the cause of the leaking value gasket. Kindly advise on the way forward pls.

Activity77:

fineboynl:
