Since you’re in Lagos, it’s better you find out from your mechanic. It hovers around 120-150k depending on location and seller

Good evening House,

Driving a 2011 Camry, recently the engine do turn off while in motion/driving. I’ll have to park and start again.

At a point, I was told it’s the Fuel Pump, it was changed, same issue. Later the battery couldn’t start the car again. I was advised to changed that too, which I did, a Brand new one. But I’m having the same issue.

Car still turn off while driving. I’ll have to park and start again, which always come back on at the first kick..


And also, I noticed this part of the Engine is open, I don’t if it’s normal. I just got the car Tokunbo.

Picture of the engine attached.

I Scanned The Car;

P0101
P0171

Thanks in advance
That open hole has a slim bottle that creates turbulence in air flow, that’s the place from which metered air that goes past the MAF leaks out from and causes imbalance in air that goes to the combustion chamber. Either get the slim bottle and install or block the hole completely and you’d be fine.

Edit: it’s called an air intake resonator (na so oyinbo call am)

Please gurus in the house
Can a mobile app carry out a car scanning properly like the expensive machines? And if yes what's the name of the app? Thanks in advance
There are a handful of Bluetooth dongles which connects to a mobile app. They do NOT come cheap and a lot of them are require subscription to enable their functions work as designed.

There’s the Carly, Launch, ThinkDiag apps etc.

Happy Saturday morning everyone, please I'm having an issue with my hyundai sonata 2015 sport 2.0t.
The movement has been dragging for weeks now, and when it's scanned it shows the codes P0106, P0234, P0236, P0620, P0625.
The mechanic and rewire have tried working on it but it's same result. It would go off when I get it back, but once I turn off the engine, on the next ignition, the check comes back on and the issue comes back.

Has anyone has this issue and how did you go about it? What did you do to get a lasting solution


I also have a P0447 that popped up after I got hit from the rear couple of months ago. Does anyone has this issue as well

Thanks
You have evap vent open and a couple of turbo related codes which I’m sure is caused by having mechanics and electricians manhandling that vehicle electrical system.

P0106 is your MAP sensor have it checked. Also, check your air intake and turbo lines for air leaks and disconnected wires

P0234 code refers to turbo boost. Check your turbocharger and also your air intake and the turbine boost pressure sensor.

These are NOT DIY jobs and require highly competent technicians who knows their way around Hyundai vehicles.
Also note that that engine is one hell of a pesky engine and has been known to easily develop problems

Car TalkRe: My Experience With A Certain Nairaland Super Mechanic by kingreign(m): 2:05pm On Nov 12, 2022
zotorux:
So I was having a blinking “D” light issues with my car; an Accord 08. I asked for assistance on the Honda maintenance thread, someone intervened and directed me to @kingreign since I’m in Abuja.
I checked him out and I realized he offers tips on car maintenance. It didn’t strike me as someone that actually fixes. I got his number, called him. And he was like o should come to his garage. Fortunately, his garage is close to my side in kubwa. I always leave for work early so I pleaded with him to meet him as early as possible. Driving the car home, it even over heated that I had to run to him on whatsapp to seek assistance.
Prior to this I already suggested to use a friend scanner to scan and post codes for him so that way I’ll even ease his work, he blatantly refused and said he does scanning and diagnostic by himself (Oshey Senior Kazeem), he charged 10k we later agreed 8k.
Next morning I was at his place, took the car for a drive and he said it was the gear that ain’t selecting. That he’ll change the oil, filter, service blah and blah. I said okay. Left the car with him and I waited for my bolt to come, he drove out for another test drive with another car.

Like an hour later he called paraying for me that I didn’t pay him for the diagnostic I just left. Lmaoo so my car that’s with you ain’t worth more than 8k?? Besides he knew I was in a hurry to leave for work so normally the payment would be done via transfer anytime he’s ready to receive funds. (First red flag). I also transferred money for the oil to. I think it was 4 liters at 7k per liter.

I paid him and ask him to please send codes atleast that way I can check the codes myself. He sent the screenshots of the codes much later. And there was one that reported faults in the transmission (shift solenoid A) something something. He came back later saying I’ll have to change the gearbox. I was like car that’s not even up to 1 month. I started asking him questions what could’ve led to that? Blah blah blah I said okay.
But your scanner said solenoid na, I quoted the image and he didn’t say anything till like hours later telling me he has found the culprit (Oshey baddest Kazeem) I was happy low key cuz the car started this on a Monday and I had given it to a mechanic on Tuesday who changed the oil to jezeco, I requested for the Honda DW-1 which he couldn’t get and he put that one my plan was to get the recommended one and drain that one. The nonsense mechanic couldn’t fix it and told me to drive on D3 which I wasn’t comfortable with. (that’s what led to the overheating too I guess). That’s why I even came to NL to seek for help. Thank God the problem started before then, our Online Kazeem would’ve said it’s the offline Kazeem that ruined the gear cuz of the oil.

Back to the main gist, I asked how much for the solenoid, he said 10-15k for each (Omo!! I started sweating for midnight) I shaa pleaded with him and he said there’s nothing he can do about it, like that’s the price. So I asked him to confirm the exact price so I’ll know the total. I was asking him for the overheating issues, maybe he should be doing that simultaneously he started getting angry that I can’t tell him what to do. Oga it’s my money and car now. Atleast lemme have hope something is working. I shaa told him to do his thing. I was on his neck a bit cuz it’s very tedious for me using public transport, so I just want him to atleast gimme something positive. He was even telling me normally I would’ve left the car with him till Monday before he even starts working on it. Lmaoo on top my money again?

I didn’t hear from baba all morning, gave him till noon and I messaged me, he replied after a while that the gear is burnt that he tested the solenoid and they didn’t work, soI’ll have to change the gear. I didn’t even know you’ve got the solenoid and besides the agreement was that you should confirm the price first. Omo!!! I said I’m not doing just couple the car back for me make I go park am. No be by force to drive car. He was even advising me to buy the gear now as it might get more expensive by December (Pele oh Chief adviser).

Now this is where the problem started. I asked him if the car would be available for pickup the next day, he said yes. So I was running late for work the next morning, so I texted him telling him my friend would pick it up on my behalf. He didn’t reply the message till I got to work. He was like he went to the market and he wasn’t around. As soon as my friend got there, with my new mechanic by the way (I already have an alternative) he started calling me that some people are there to pick the car. Shey you told me you’re in the market( Oshey Flash Kazeem) suddenly you’re in your workshop again.
He started getting uncomfortable with my oriole picking the car which is understandable but then I’m calling you to release the car to them. So I don’t think it should be a problem tbh.
After so much hesitation, he agreed to release the car and said he won’t be held responsible for any damages, I said yes. Just let us go.

He then came up with another means to just get money from me. He said I have to pay for the solenoid, that he bought two and I’ll pay for them. I was like didn’t you say you’ll need to buy 5? He said he bought two first to test if it’s gonna work and as it didn’t work I’ll pay for it. Waawu!! I just smiled.
I TF the money to him. Cuz I wasn’t there and I don’t want him creating a scene there with my friend and the new mechanic. Cuz he sounded like a person that’ll create chaos.

My conclusion is this guy is not competent. He’s just a Kazeem that has assess to Nairaland. He’s just all about money and he’s willing to lie his way through. How can you tell me to pay for something you bought and didn’t work??
So if he had bought a new gearbox and it didn’t work he’ll ask me to pay… Lmaoo.

Meanwhile an offline Kazeem has helped me to fix the car and it’s two week now, everything smooth.

@kingreign I leave you to God.
Sorry about the experience you had using my services, a lot of poor communication contributed largely to the eventful outcome. We are all not perfect, but we learn from our mistakes.

My approach to working on a modern day vehicle is a step by step analysis of the defective system, testing and re-testing, most times I have to buy parts without the owners knowledge while diagnosing a fault hoping that the initiative will go a long way in resolving the fault.

Once again sorry about the experience, we will do better.

Good day guys, pls I have an issue with my Camry 08 SE. Last week I asked my mechanic to change my brake disc and inner cup. He came back with the car and the gear was not selecting anymore except reverse. He went back with it and has not been able to fix it. It seems my gear is condemned. Now I have read a lot hia about the disadvantages of changing from 13 pin to 10 pin, jerking and transmission issues which will ultimately kill the engine. I have also learnt that getting a good 13 pin gear is not really guaranteed as the 13 pin has it's own issues.I recently met a man who had an accident with his 2012 Camry that uses 10 pin. He wants to sell the Engine and other components. My question is can I take all his engine and gear and brain box to install in my 08 so I dnt need to convert or gamble on the 13 pin? Will this work?
08 Camry had a different engine and transmission from 2012 Camry for their 4 cylinder engine.

Good day guys, my Hoda civic car always make some noise from the right hand side of the front Tyre whenever I want to enter a corner and I usually hear the same sound when ever I am on high speed.

What could be the cause pls. I have decided to park the car until I find a solution to the problem because I don't want the Tyre to pool on the way.
Since we can’t listen for or hear the sound made by the right hand side front tyre, we suggest you visit a competent mechanic. Thank you.

You don't even read wide to learn. His car year 05 Camry comes with optional 5 Speed automatic transmission. He can choose to use the 4 speed or 5 speed. Which is either 10 pin or 13 pin .
What transmission type came installed in his car off the production line? 5speed!
Why do you ask him to downgrade it to 4speed?
Cos you lack basic understanding of how things ought to be and you engage in cut corner shoddy repair jobs!

He will hate his car when 10pin is installed. The best is to scan and know the codes. If it is major, he should replace with 13pin .

Do a proper scan and acertain if it's just a cable issue or minor stuff. If it requires bringing the gear box down to fix, [s]I will suggest yo get a 10 pin Gear and rest. Budget 150k. Even if you repair the the 13 pin. It will still develope fault. The 13 pin Gear is too delicate for our roads. Any slightest mistake your gear is gone...... The reason you see a lot of 07-09 muscle Camry with 13 pin Gear issue for sale . And it's more expensive to purchase. 350k.... If you want to fix it, you might end up wasting your money[/s] .
If YOU don’t know what advise to give to someone so as to keep his car in proper condition and please find something else to do. The R & D scientists. Engineers, and technicians who put in 13pin in his car are NOT mad.
