Please what could be causing this problem with my friend's Avalon 2005. Anytime he starts the engine, the radiator starts shooting out water in less than 1 minute. What are the possible fixes? Thanks in advance.

Head gasket blown. Classic symptom.

I have an issue with my Toyota 2014 Corolla and it's occurred four(4) times in the last one year. I drove the car out and everything was normal, on getting home,i tried to park the car and it was just dragging both in Drive and Reverse. when i let the car cool off till the next day, everything worked normally again. it accelerates well and shift into gear without issues. I took a road trip yesterday and same thing happened. I got to a checkpoint and stopped, when i tried moving after i was waved on,the car just wouldn't move. it kept dragging both in Drive and Reverse, I had to let it cool of for a moment with the engine still running and everything worked well again but i noticed it never accelerated beyond 70mph. I changed the transmission fluid about 4 months ago after it did same thing and there is no check engine light on my dash or any light at all. I would need help on how to solve this.

Is the car a CVT or traditional auto?
If you're not sure, check the VIN sticker by driver door jamb, snap it and let's see. You also need to scan that ride.

I now hear a cranking sound from my wheels after changing my Ford Edge 2011 brake pads, what could be the cause?

Have the mechanic recheck the brake pads and dust shield behind the brake discs

Morcash01:
Good evening bosses, I’ve just change my front shocks with bushing, a tickling/clicking noise from the driver side while driving on rough road can be attributed to what? Es330 06. Thanks

Check strut mount bushing, sway bar link rods and bushing

That all he does. The guy is a sadist he goes around bullying everyone ,luke say na him discover nairaland.he has been doing this for the last ten years or more

You who's busy bullying people now turning around to claim I'm a bully. Pot calling kettle black.

Caaz:
Has it gotten to this?nawa o.

Take your time go thru my post then take your time and go thru the post of the guy you quoted. You'd discover that guy is suffering from drug related mental illness or he's actually mentally imbalanced.
Ask people in car talk, they'll tell you who he really is.

Good morning,
An electrician diagnosed my car using a turbocharger and he said it threw up an error code P0299, that the turbocharger is not good that we need to replace it.

However, i am not comfortable with that because there could be other issues that can cause the turbocharger to underperform.
So I am in search of turbocharger specific electrician/technician to help review the issue.

Which car is this?
P0299 can be caused by myriad of factors such as dirty or clogged air filter, broken or improperly fastened intake pipes which causes leaks, failing boost pressure sensor, bad turbo charger etc.

Stfu stupid hater
Like i said,u r empty without nairaland,u would join gazzuz.idiot. stupid hell bound adult hater with the brain of a teenager.u will still die by accident.its very sure

People are talking, one dingbat is in one corner of his 3mb daily data space yapping.

Ikenna351:
What's interesting about you guys in Car Talk section on Nairaland is inability to learn hard lessons nature teaches. Not long ago, your god (Gazzuzz) and his gangs (including you) were busy bullying other members he considered threats to his business or fame in the section, until suddenly, your god died as some have claimed. You guys freaked out because you never imagined that side of physical life was possible for the man you worshipped and arse licked. Observation of someone's challenges, demise or difficulties is meant for the observer to go into reflection and choose a different path, if the outcome of current path could only lead to the person's destruction or meaningless life. You are obviously too boyish or immature to exercise your critical logical mind that aspect of life. Or probably your obvious hatred towards me gets you an erection. Hope my profile picture isn't making it worse for you to masturbate, if you are into men?

Nothing I said on this thread required the hate you have displayed. You don't have to agree with me or like classic Peugeot vehicles. There are people who do, all over the world, actually. Those are the people I shared this thread with. But you can still spread your bed on this thread because more updates are coming, including new threads on Classic and modern Peugeot vehicles. What happened to your god Gazzuzz can happen to you, you child, your spouse or anyone you cared about in the next 5 minutes. It can also happen to me as well. Difference is, I am focused on living whatever limited time I have left to breath the best I can, while you and your clique are eating your life away hating someone who doesn't even know about your existence, aside hiding behind keyboard professing this level of hate to the world. Hope you put your face to the fake name, since actual men stand by their words.

Ikenna351.

Like I said earlier, SHUT UP!
GAZZUZZ may be no more, he lived a short but very positive life, he impacted positively in the lives of people who came around him and still does even while he's gone. It's not about living long and dying in an old age, yet, nobody can count or state the positive thing you have done while on Earth. Because he is no more, you lilly livered dingbat now has the temerity to come out and speak rubbish of him and try to tarnish his reputation. It's clear to see that you're a bitter, sore loser Ikenna, change your ways.

Ikenna351:
Unfortunately, you were among the first few members that started this section. I was the first moderator of this section as soon as it was created and I singlehandedly manned this section for months until you later joined me as a co-moderator. We worked peacefully until we both left the voluntary roles as moderators and then you showed your true colors of who you really are. One thing any old member of Car Talk will tell you is that I have always be me. Unfortunately, you are backstabber, you sell yourself or soul to belong or be accepted to a clique, gang or group you perceive some benefits from. I am not asking you to be loyal. It just looks pathetic seeing you for what you are. Whatever makes you money, I guess.


Ikenna351

Trash talk. Even stellantis, the current owners peugeot have moved on while you a megalomaniac still keeps basking in the delusions that peugeot is the best thing that happened after the air we breath.

Ogbeni sh*t the fcvk up!

Ikenna351:
It's been 2 weeks behind the wheel of the Peugeot 505 ST and I haven't felt desire to hop into any of the modern 200+ horsepower cars for a break. As the young man in the picture stated, this 505 is a statement to other men on the road. As tempting as external validation could be, it's nothing close to inner satisfaction when experiencing or living in the outcomes of choices made in the past. One thing a 505 teaches you behind the wheel is how imperfect the car is, unlike what modern humans seek today, unfortunately. Sometimes, it takes a non feminine car to remind most men why there are balls in-between their legs, beside reproduction.

>>> 2GR vs 3MZ ENGINES <<<

Nigeria is the only country where sombody with his clear eyes will go for a 3MZ engine instead of 2GR and if you ask them their reasons they dont even know. They based their assumptions based on some fake informations feed to them by some quack mechanics.
When you tell people the truth they woun't believe but the moment you package lies and feed them boom they rush it like tom tom and thats why our politicians keep dealing with us.

3MZ is a 3.3L V6 engine, VVT-i timing which pushes out about 230Hp.
This engine uses timing belt which can cut anytime without notice.
It's also equipped with a 5-speed ( U151E ) gear which you people popularly call the 13-pin gear.
The fuel economy of the 3MZ is very poor when compared with the 2GR.
This engine/gear is commonly found in Camry, Lexus, Highlander, Sienna etc.

The 2GR is an advanced and modified version of 3MZ. It's equipped with a double 3.5L V6 engine with dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) and VVT-i timing and pushes out about 278Hp.
This engine uses timing chain instead of belt and the chain is more durable and hardly cut instead it slacks.
Its equipped with a 6-speed ( U660E ) gear which you people popularly call the 22-pin gear.
The fuel economy and general performance of this engine/gear over the 3MZ is much.
This 2GR srarted around late 2006 so thats why you see them in some late 06/07 Sienna and Rx330. Other vehicles that use them are other Lexus, Rav4, Highlander, Camry etc.

So my advice is, stop believing hear say, always seek information from a qualified professional and make your own research too.
The only reason Naija quack mechanics don't like the 2GR is there is no much space inside the engine compartment so when they want to remove or install some components like alternator, kick starter, pump,gasket and other things its not always as easy as the 3MZ that have more room.

My second advice is, as far as you people still allow the kazeems, dropouts, quacks and people who didt even finish primary school rule the Automobile maintenance industry those are the kind of things you see,so dont complain.
Everyone wants his children to study Medicine, Law, Accounting etc .......no problem, when they finish Mr Quack and Kazeem is waiting for them to bypass all the sensors on that their 2025 model cars, then they will learn the hard way.
Me, am just minding my business.

You just lifted some article from the internet without acknowledgement of the author. This is plagiarism.

Please guys, what is this clamp dangling under my exhaust? I have used this car this way for a long time. I noticed whenever I climb bumps, some metal rattles underneath. I went under and had a look, and I see this thing like a clamp dangling loosely. Should I cut it off and just leave it that way? Or is it something that tightly fitted before but suddenly loosened?

It's a fastener that has come loose. Ask your panelbeater to fix it or delete it.

Greenarrow01:
Thank you for replying

So pls the GlC is bad right ?
Not even the 2017 option ?

Avoid those

Greenarrow01:

Never heard of a 2016 AC compressor sir.

udosam:
I done come again

My car is Camry 08. It starts vibrating once I engage the gear (without moving the car). That is when I put the car to drive. Everything else works fine.

What could be the issue?

Check engine mounts, check if there's a vacuum leal.

Chingyyy878:
Thanks, Just want to be sure.

Pls, does the mentioned model has any issues I should look out for or make I go for 2015 corrolla ?

All are good. Even some 2015 corolla comes with CVT.

Chingyyy878:
I want to get the 2014-15 Honda Accord and I want to know if it’s okay to go for the v6.

I was told the 4 cylinder engine has a CVT transmission that makes it slow and uninteresting especially for someone who loves to drive for fun.

The 4 cylinder has a CVT but it's not slow or uninteresting. The V6 has a regular automatic and it's fine.

JackDaAlienz:
Guys i dont know how to handle this situation. A brothel just opened last month beside my house.
If i had known that such a place will be built around me i would have not rented that apartment.

During day time. Everywhere is calm until from 7pm till 1am 2am!!!
All i hear is prostitutes arguing and fighting over customers. Loud music with annoying hypeman.
Making noise all night..

Early in the morning these girls come outside as early as 6 -7am and continue arguing and shouting disturbing the street.

How do i handle this
Also i keep seeing rough looking guys roaming my area at night. The street no longer feel safe.

What should i do?

Which state are you in?
You either move out or fight them using the system.

To fight them, get video recordings of them at various occasions, put it in as a petition get your lawyer to file a report to the police and to your state or federal ministry of environment.
It would take long but it would always work.

ItisWell22:
Sorry, but there’s really nothing much you can do.

It’s someone’s business premises and he probably got approval to site it there.

You may just have to plan your exit.
Until them find ways to cope with it all.

Lies, there's something he can do about it.

Bright2:
Good morning sir, pls can i install BVGA transmission box on 2007 Honda pilot EX-L ? Since the seller don't have BVLA transmission and insists that BVGA transmission will do work .
Thank you as I expect your response.

It will work, but BVGA is 2001-2004 Pilot, they're prone to failures. The seller is only interested in selling his goods. What happens 2-3 years down the road?
Is he the only seller or don't you have other sellers?
Insist on the BVLA or go elsewhere?

Dangote010:
So i can't just change the plastic unless i change it completely

I dunno about that.

A pair of the rear tail light are about 70-90k depending on where you get them from.

Hello everyone,

I recently installed an AC in my 2005 Toyota Camry, but I’ve noticed that the car vibrates excessively when the AC is running. While trying to diagnose the issue, the engine began making a rattling/grinding noise, and now it shuts off immediately after starting.

Has anyone experienced this before, or does anyone have suggestions on what might be causing these issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Go back to the shrine and ask them to undo the juju they did to your car.

Dangote010:
pls that would be like how much and can I sell the broken one

I don't know the year model of the vehicle in question so I can't answer your question. Take a picture and upload the back picture
