Uhmmm 🤔 I'm having same issue too on my Toyota Corolla 012 but I was told it's a parasitic draining so I want to test with my friend battery before calling any rewire coz those guys can be dangerous sometimes when it comes to handling wiring system.
You still need to do the test, I recently had a Mercedes Benz S500 with the same issue and after doing the test it turns out the gateway module was causing that draw, a replacement was bought, vehicle tested and the use

Good day engineers in the house, what could be the cause of oil leak at the front passenger side, I noticed the oil drops on the passenger tyre wheel, and there's reduction in power steering oil.
Therein lies your fault, needs physical inspection to confirm where the leak is coming from the power steering

Thanks for your insightful information and guidance will take it into consideration. I am actually not in Lagos if not I would have reached out to you.
Though someone was of the opinion that I get it from Lagos but I do not see the need for such since it is Nigerian used I intend to get.
Thanks once again.
Ohh that’s totally fine, just do proper checks on the car especially the transmission, Goodluck sir.

One or more of the TPMS sensors has an issue, kindly give it to a technician who has a TPMs scan tool to successfully get rid of the light

Good day all.
I am in the market for ES 350 2008-2010 Nigerian used.

The units I have seen all have their check engine lights on, ABS light on, traction off and others. Then there is this particular noise I do hear when I fully turn the steering while making a U-Turn.

Is it advisable to go ahead and get one with these lights because their drive is smooth with the aim of resolving all the lights on the dashboard?
Some fault might be cheaper to fix while some others can run into higher bills, from your description it’s seems the CV axle/ shaft might need changing. Why not get someone to at least get you a better used unit without all of this light or at least one which fixing won’t cost that much or affect Powertrain functionality. If you’re in Lagos I can be of service

Hi everyone, good day.

My Es350 2011 is showing these error codes, P0302, P0305, P0335, and P0607.
But we didn't get here overnight, let me explain.

June 12, I was returning from Berger and as I turned towards Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, I noticed the car wasn't accelerating as it should, the difference wasn't much, it was still running, just something subtle that can only be noticed by me the driver.

I thought it was all in my head, so I continued until I got home, that's when I noticed that the car was misfiring slightly. Again, you won't notice, unless I point it out to you.

I scanned the car and got P0302, misfire in cylinder 2.

Turned off the car, turned it back on the next day and the misfire was gone, so I cleared the code.

Took the car out again and after hard acceleration, same thing happened.
This time I parked to the side of the road and yes, the subtle misfiring was back.
Restarted the car, misfire disappeared.

Called my mechanic the next day and we changed both spark plug and ignition coil for that cylinder 2, cos I thought something is probably about to fail there, so the car is giving me signs ahead.

A week later, misfire was back, but now error codes were jumping from cylinder to cylinder, and at a point, it said random misfires.

I managed the car for a while, using it for only short errands until I got some time.
I changed spark plugs, serviced injector nozzles and even changed fuel pump assembly.

I was fine for a week again, then the misfire returned.

Two weeks ago, I serviced the car cos it was due, scanned the car again and saw that a P0335 had joined the party, for the crankshaft sensor.

I promised myself I wasn't going to throw in parts again until I was sure what the exact issue was.
Mechanic and electrician checked, everything looks good, wiring harness too is fine.

Scanned this evening and saw the P0607 code has logged in, life of the party.

I think that the ECU isn't the issue, probably the underlying issue is what is triggering the P0607, but it's that underlying issue I'm yet to figure out.
Again, I'm not sure, so no conclusions yet on my part.

Please who can help? Who has experienced this before? I need advice, cos I'm exhausted.

The car is very drivable, accelerates as expected, does 120km/h easily, just that once in a while, when you don't expect, it starts misfiring in a subtle manner.
But once you restart, the car is back to normal and firing as it should.

Help my life.

Thank you.

A freeze frame would be needed to see what values the Ecu reads before setting up the CEL.
I personally suspect grounding issues that and as such a physical inspection would only help point in the right direction.
I’ll advise check all grounds, specifically in the engine bay
Secondly, freeze frame data should be checked for any out of spec values that might trigger it also
Last resort would be the ECU

Good evening all, please I'd really appreciate it if a knowledgeable automechanic for Lexus GS350 is referred to look into an issue for me.

My car vibrates between 20 - 40km/h when accelerating or decelerating.

I changed the propeller shaft as earlier advised but the issue is still persistent.

My axis is Ikeja - Ojota - Ogudu in Lagos. Thank you
This’ll need proper physical diagnosis, kindly contact me at 0802 899 2075 I’m at Ojodu Berger

That's a Toyota Corolla 2006, It was drinking fuel like water so I went for scan
Has your engine been opened up recently
For the main issue of concern I’ll advice you look out for vacuum leak also, check your upstream o2 sensors to confirm if they’re functioning correctly because they’re stuck lean and the car uses this Input for fueling measurement
