Hello, pls i observed abnormal gear switch in my sienna '09 and check engine light P0776 . I stopped and noticed approximately 3L of transmission fluid which I managed to a safe spot off highway , I Got mechanic and changed gear oil but am still experiencing abnormal gear switch.. what could be the cause and if possible solution to this Sir ?

Possible causes are:

Low ATF or dirty ATF,
A solenoid,
wiring harness rust or partial contact,
Bad Valve Body,

I can't tell solutions till its properly looked at by a qualified technician. By the way, what type of ATF was used in filling the transmission?

Very easy, wash your meat and boil then use the meat water to cook the rice, I will advice chicken or turkey as they taste better.

While cooking the rice dice your capsicums I love using (red, green and yellow), carrots, green beans, onions, ginger, garlic and liver (cook separately and dice).

After all stir fry all the vegetables for 10-15, then add the rice into the mix vegetable and keep mixing for 5-6 minutes and let it cook for 2 mins.

That all. Hope it helps.

It did indeed. I appreciate, thanks.

Wrong.Electric cars often have way more horsepower than the average ICE vehicles.

Only a handful like tesla and Co.

The Chinese and Korean electric cars just have very modest power.

With this there will be less air pollution and decrease in the effect of climate change.. Dangote won't be happy about this comment

The products needed to make electric cars by themselves can cause environmental pollution. The parts from electric cars themselves can cause environmental pollution and are not environmentally friendly.

ukcatlover:
Come and join me o.

Thanks in advance.

How does a limited slip differential help in a drag race

LSDs improve grip on the wheel with more traction on that axle. This gives better launch/take off.

olumzzz:
Exactly.
In a drag race, its all about the car. Unlike other races.
LSD isn't even important in a drag race.
Factors in a drag race include torque, power, drag coefficient, weight, gearbox (manual, torque converter, dual-clutch auto, etc), engine type (naturally aspirated, turbocharged, supercharged, electric, hybrid), etc.

Even around corners, you can a car driven by an average driver having a limited slip diff or torque vectoring diffrrential with thicker swaybar in front, and a skid control active traction control system will be difficult to beat by an experienced driver.

olumzzz:
Yes for manoeuvring and cornering. But on a straight line, it's about the car

Ever heard of torque vectoring drive systems or limited slip diff?


No pray to meet a car with torque vectoring drive system or limited slip differential...
Even with an averagely experienced driver, e go hard to catch am when e drive cars with such systems.

I doubt you know what an Is350 is.

That sedan is quick!
No mainstream Toyota vehicle with a 6 cylinder can keep with its pace bar the supra.

Good morning Dr.

Been ages. I trust work, family and life is fine.

Look before you leap.
1. The Lexus has more power.
2. The Lexus is rear wheel drive.
3. The Lexus' peak torque at the RPM is higher.
4. The Lexus has lower ground clearance, thus more resistance to drag.

No mind folks that talk blindly.

modupemomo:
Hello Everyone. Trust we are doing great. I just got a Toks 2009 Lexus RX 350 today and I need a very good mechanic in Lagos, let me lay emphasis on a HONEST AND FAIR mechanic. A tested and trusted one, I dey fear people these days Oloun.

I am a lady and you know how mechanic will just be using someone to play draft by naming issues wey no dey der. The mechanic i use now sends my now former car back with new damages and sometimes repeat repairs which means double-billing. Please help me out as I need to service the Lexus and maybe do minor adjustments�

I also have a Honda CRV 2008 for sale if anyone is interested.


Lastly, do help in educating me on what to expect using this Lexus, how to enjoy it, what to look out for and all. I love to learn, thanks a lot in advance. God bless you all

Congratulations on your Lexus.

Just ensure you do your regular routine maintenance. Use only genuine oils and fluids. Ensure you don't have any warning lights on the dash or strange noises.

Happy motoring.

I give up

You don see am na

CaptainAyub:
I own a 09 C300 with M272 engine.
I assume yours should be same engine since they're same generation (W204) but yours is facelifted.
The Tokumbo engine used to be 500k with the transmission going for 200k.
That's in Apo mechanic,Abuja,and 2 years ago(b4 change deepened).
Hope this helps.
B/w,it could be cheaper now cos that engine no de easily spoil,just like Mercedes M112 engines.

The M272 KE engine yours has/had is very different from the M276 DE35 engune his unit is bearing. Yours is a port injection, his is direct injection.

Las las na you go drive am for that 1m

Inception:


That is 1 of 2.


Been a while bro. I believe family is going great.

Yes boss, been a while, family is doing great, yours?

Funny enough I still use the car, it has the normal TU3 engine. When in pristine condition will give any car a run for it money. I am not saying a V6 will not be able to speed past her, but I bet you, [s]if a 206 is well driven and not abused, your V6 will always find the cub in your mirrors[/s]. I have done wonders with that car, speaking from experience. Very durable, fuel efficient, rugged, and very safe. Just don't mess with her thermostat, use Total quartz 9000 if engine is new, if not use 7000 at least, let expert handle it not any kazim and enjoy.

All the stunts are Subject to the kind of driver behind those wheels though.

Needless Lies and Misinformation.

It's understandable to praise and hype what you adore and admire, but when it gets to a certain point, the lies becomes obvious.

fineboynl:
It still surprises me that a lot of them are careless about modern tools. When you watch YouTube and sees how foreigners use tools to do work you just want to cry for our people down here. When they come with their ragtag tools to work on your stuff it’s just like they don’t serious with their work. They eat and drink bear but can’t buy modern tools. That why once they open your stuff. E.g car, phone, ac e.t.c it will never renewing the same something must miss inside. Either the scroll will not complete again or they forget to put back something inside or they damage something inside because of lack of modern equipment

Blame our exchange rates.

The same tools the foreigners buy over there for $200, when you eventually buy it here, it's like $800 with shipping minus duty. How many technicians can afford that?

alphaNomega:
Why should we pay 5 - 10k for an oil change? Is naira that useless?

It's beyond useless.

Can you pay $20-25/hr for a mechanic job?
Do the conversion.

Good evening NLanders,

I'm making this post on behalf of mý cousin (not on Nairaland).

He is about to purchase a 2013 C300 from Canada, but the engine is bad according to the Auction report.

It is a simple giveaway guys.

For a converted ride? Haba

It's[s] not converted boss.
These rides have both driver and passenger seat position memory settings[/s].

It's converted. The letter net is a give away.

Idaytesj29:
God bless you! I have been using a 206 for years. Got it brand new...... [s]That cub will give any car a run for its money[/s]. [s]Even if you are not ready to press down your V6 pedal very well , the 206 will leave you wandering what was in her hood as she whistles pass your v6 and away into the tarred distance[/s].

Op buy your 206. Just don't give it to any Toyota mech and never let them remove your thermostat. Thanks
