Is the carbon complain synonymous to looking for engine?

You still do not comprehend. Try the Eric car guy method at your risk

adanny01:
I want to do this but am really scared.

I saw a video of Eric the car doing this by pouring water bit by bit. Is steam a safer way cause my engine makes the knocking especially during harmattan season?

What about the CAT converter, does it not clog it?

If i do the steam, for how long should one do it?

I am thinking of boiling water from a kettle with a pipe connection to intake.

Your engine is readily available in the local market

Thanks everyone for your time, I have solved it.
I saw online how to check the ac fault codes using the command and reset them. The ac Is chilling now from all vents even the door and side pillar vents that air wasn't coming out. I guess I would really need to get the car manual.

Good to know it's now solved

With the help of a manifold guage what was the pressure on the high side and low side

justiniyke29:
I just got a Benz s500 w220 and I noticed that the ac only cools from the center console vent of the dashboard, all other vents blow hot air(as in like steam engine). I Ave drained and refilled the gas but it still remains the same.

Take it to a garage for proper diagnosis. A lot of things could be responsible

In some cases if there is excessive heat from the high side, a blockage can be responsible for this which inutrn burns out the compressor

CV joints and shaft damaged the wheel hub bearing. You continued driving without caution. I can bet my one cent You would change the CV joints

samkal:
Pls, how do one locate the knocksensor which I believe pop up Code PO330 on Rx300 2001 model. Thanks

Just to guide my kazeem

Located on cylinder block.

stanlotion:
Have changed the vss, everything seems normal but when I parked under intense sun/ heat for some time, it happened again when I started the engine.

Cluster failure

So what you're saying is everyone is wrong except you. Companies that have been around for decades are wrong. Got it.

If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is your Auto experience background?

Dextron 111 cannot and would never be compatible with Toyota WS fluid. I think you are mixing up things here. Read up the 3rd link. Dextron 111 would work perfectly well on older camry 1999,2000, 2001 etc. Using dextron 3 on a 2008 camry you risk loosing that transmission. It's not a debate but just the pragmatic aspect of this field

Yes it's a real good palm oil put it in and see how your engine turns to choclate

LeJeun3:



If a mechanic kept your car for this long without updates, you would have called police for him.....

Police ke or meeting of all demeanors

@ op pls kindly update this thread before I change my mind. It's almost 2019

What engine size are you looking at

Where is the picture. I requested for it 3days ago up till this moment nothing. Are you a. Serious business man

This government has been smoking something dangerous since 2015

Give us full repair history of your vehicle. You can run a scan to ascertain what the cause is

Have your ac restored back to factory spec and have a rest of mind

BestChoiceTutor:
I used launch diagnostic machine more than 5 times to check. It's more of electrical problem

State exact scan result as reported on the scan tool

BestChoiceTutor:
I am very grateful to everyone who contributed here. Special thanks to Mayor 2013, Cyblog123 and Sultaan.
We have unplugged and cleaned the socket of the ECU but the problem remains.
Since the problem has been detected what could be done

If you are sure you have been doing your transmission oil change regularly. I would say next step is to have a close look at your ecu connectors well. Might just be a bent male pin at the ecu or a misaligned female pin at the connectors. These route are easy to go by first

BestChoiceTutor:
Happy Sunday Automobile experts!

We have a challenge on Ford Edge car. The power steering pump was changed two days ago and the brain box was removed for security reasons. Yesterday, everything was fixed but we discovered the gear isn't picking well. The machine detected shift solenoid problem. What could have caused this? The gear was not touched at all

Two things could have transpired.

1) wrong approach of pulling out ECU
2) fault has been there prior to having this new fix

YorubaEmir:
Since 2016 you're still converting a 2012 Range Rover sport to LHD and we're almost in 2019 It doesn't worth the adventure

You lost faith bro. Tell me if you are given this ride your faith wouldn't be as high as mountain Kilimanjaro

adeeva06:
Do you do ford?

Yes I do

1johnjohn:
Not the problem.. I need a good Auto mechanic firm...if u know one...write out the name .

Report your location

What's the problem with your vehicle

Highlander actually was living on a life support machine

If you are in Lagos. Come in for a free diagnosis

Remember to keep that chrome well. Only cost 15k. Pass on the info to the car owner always stolen by our Naija stock keepers

Kashif:
I have seen many of them. Because of this heat/cold myth, mechanics even wait for three days!

I know you won't try it, but one day, I will come to your shop and guarantee a transmission replacement if something goes wrong with 'hot' job done properly. How about that?

Come on in but do not forget to come along with your own ride so we can praticalise and thereafter preach the gospel

Kashif:
The problem is that U150 aka 13pin transmissions are very unforgiving when contaminated. A pinch of sand is all it takes to ground them.

It is mostly tree-shed mechanics that suffer this the most, because of their work ethics and environment. During shaft replacements, they would usually drop the replacement shaft on the (sandy) ground before installation, which will guarantee dirt ingress into the transmission. When they attempt to clean, they don't do a thorough job. They would just use a rag to 'dust' it and then install. If you do this, it will come back to bite you. It needs to be washed if you work under this condition.

Another source of dirt during installation is the shaft seal. That too needs to be cleaned (as much as you can) otherwise, the dirt there will rob off on the shaft as it makes its way into the transmission. It is common to hit the seal a couple of times while aiming at the orifice.

If temperature is the issue, then how can failures after 48-hour wait be explained? I have worked on these when they had only cooled down enough to be handled without contact burns, and no issues.

Do you have any failure recorded after 48hrs of waiting. Your point is top notch. But CV joint replacement when these transmissions are hot cannot be eschewed

We are talking CV joints here. Not the drive shafts

erico2k2:
