Morning,
I have a Camry 2009 2AZ
I have been having this issue for a while now.
Everything seems fine but when I switch on the AC idle drops around 520RPM and car starts shaking even when I switch to park or neutral I still feel the vibrations.
Car surges once in a while when at stop with AC on. the

. Hello sir. a carbon (dirty) has been cloged up in your car system. Which mean your engine need a (tune up) and a computerized scan also. That is the reason why your car does not idle properly. Note : scanning comes befor engine (tune up). Thank you

COSIBI:
Is it a good practice to remove the brake shoes on the rear wheel of a toyota corolla and replace them with brake pads, just like the front wheels

No no that a bad idea sir. Because the manufacture who did it there no what they are doing. They caculate the pressure that will take the fluid to the rear wheel, amount of fluid, the movement of the wheel. E.t.c

The electricians have tried to find the problem but no solution. They've made me change the brain box but the problem is persisting... any expert advice pls will be very helpful. Thanks

Hello sir. So many things can cause a car not to start. But first my advice is to go and run a scan on it. And if yot want an home service for the scanning let me know

Ask your question

Okay Ma. For the scanning you can book a home service from us. And for the main service you will need to bring the car down to the workshop.

Hi fellow nairalanders, My IS250 battery got damaged and I replace it after about five days, now the car idle high and low at random and it won't drive above 40km/s when on motion. I have seen some idle relearn procedures on YouTube but yet the situation is not improving.

hello sir go and do a computerized scanning on it to know the exact issue. And you can post the scan result after scanning it so we will get what the problem is. Thank you.

Johnmokan:
My 2011 hyundai sonata landed on naija soil some weeks ago. I decided to take it for thorough washing(interior and exterior) to make it look quite clean and presentable. Unfortunately after the washing, i drove it home, parked the vehicle, started it the next morning, lo and behold, the airbag light came on. What could have been the problem and what can the solution possibly be? Your candid response is needed please ��

Hello sir we can not guess what the problem is unless you go for computerized scanning. And did you check the history of the car with the use of the (VIN) befor buying it. Cause it might be an accidented one which the airbag module will have store the record which may trigered the light anytime. Or in the case of the washing the might have also tampered with the system. But firstly get the car scan. Thank you.

As a mechanic will you recommend Honda Civic 08,i saw a good deal.

What are the major issues with this car

hello sir getting honda civic will required a maintainance in which may be some expensive and inconvinient. For me i will not advice a first time car user to go get civic cause of the complaint lay by customers. The major complain are.
1) airbag failure due to bad occupant detection sensor and also if a replace airbag is not properly fit it might deploy unknowingly.
2) brake failure. Due to the noisy sustpension part and exesecive wear of the brake component.
3) outside paint/interior desing. Will be a cracking spot and became ugly and causes a low 2nd hand value when getting it
4) steering vibration. Causes by suspension part expeciall brake disc.
And also they recall on the airbag system and brake system.
thankyou

Hello sir. Pls is the Hyundai sonata 2009 a good car? What problems does it give and are the parts available?
How does it compare with a car like Nissan Altima 2008? I am a bit worried about the CVT transmission in Nissan especially one purchased as used/toks. O will appreciate your opinion. Thanks.

Hello sir. Hyundai sonata is good car but the part are expensive and availaible. It is compare with altima because of the CVT Transmission (continuous variable transmission) which is a good transmission and should be maintaine by a good technicician. A CVT Transmission are transmission that shift the gears without the attention of the driver which mean they are smooth drive transmission. Thank you
