Where exactly is this "ringing sound" coming from (inside the vehicle or engine area) & what is the ringtone?

Ring tone is "goro goro"

awiriwa:
Not at all. As long as the brand is credible (the most preferred brands are Toyota and Mobil-1). By the way, did you use the American Spec oil?

The American Spec seems to have very good effects on the engine and even provides for quicker acceleration and enhanced fuel economy. I have used it previously so i know.

Proof to us in practical

2 front wheel hub cost 30k for a first grade. If you have one side making noise. Make sure the two are changed. Best of luck

Diy scanners available. Call 08165520837 or 08156087872

Your technician is right let him go ahead to do the job. If all wiring down to the alternator and to battery are ok and there is no voltage drop. Get a good alternator. Recommended amperage rating is what you should go for

Hey gurus in the house, I noticed my AC doesn't work when I put on the car, it only does when I'm in motion. Now it has finally stopped even when in motion. What could be the problem?

A low pressure compressor can cause that. But just have it @the back of your mind that there is a leakage somewhere. Leakage needs to be traced first. Get a proper diagnosis done first. Finally if leakage is fixed make sure the system is free of air before introduction of refrigerant. Use original refrigerant. Guage refrigerant to specification and use right compressor oil. To fix your ac call multi autolab if you are in lagos on 08156087872 or 08165520837

A lot of things can cause that. Your service engine soon light must be on. If it is pls run a more comprehensive scan, if you are in lagos and you need to fix the problem, call 08156087872 or 08165520837.

Fake refrigerants has always being one of the major problem of car ac. It is also important to vacuum the system and use the recommended compressor oil in the right quantity. Most compressor oil out there are mineral oil which in the end causes more havoc to the system. If you need to fix your ac and vacuum the system and you are in lagos Call multiautolab on 08165520837 or 08156087872. Bbpin is 7BE1C522

1st which your hand is pointing to is the map sensor which is used to measure thr amount of intake air that goes into the engine which inturns if the ecu gets right value from it would be used to determine actual fuel injection

Second is the throttle position sensor which is used to determine the position of the throttle valve located in the throttle body. They are both conmected to sensors. A better picture would make me tell which sensors they are connected to

Your ride is obd1 you would be needing an obd1 scanning device. Might be difficult though but can be achieved. You could use a professional diagnostic tester as well which has an obd1 connecting adapter

Oga gazzuzz I go soon reach your workshop o

GAZZUZZ:
take a pic of your engine bay. If your engine looks like this it's over 400k

Am telling you brother. That engine is seriously expensive. Reason being that some latest Hyundai suv uses same engine which the seller thinks you are equally buying same engine so he is ready to make the price higher. I priced that engine for 500k last year though

I need a Kia Cerato engine or parts to buy.
Please, I need contacts.
Thank you.

What year is your cerato and what parts do you need

fotmas:
Thanks. It is a Camry 96 model. Is there a connector that can connect it to an obd2 scan tool?
Thanks.

If its 1996 then your car is obd2 compliant. Check under your steering column for the obd2 socket

This is an obd1 port what year is your car?

observing....

Na live data you dey use observe or fault errors?

What stops you from going to anambra to look for the real owner or are u residing in japan? Nairaland is not a police station. If you have problems linking yourself up with the real owner. Simply match down to the police station. No naira lander was there in person when money exchanged hands if truly there is an iota of truth in this.

I own a ford transit and I aligned the tyres with the steering wheel but the man doing it said that because of the airbag inside the steering only the tyres can be aligned. It's really uncomfortable as a result as the steering wheel is as shown below and i'm unable to see the contents of the dashboard.pls is there any way it can be corrected?


Pic 1: shows how it is when the tyres are straight
Pic 2: shows how I wish the steering to be when tyres are straight

Thanks in anticipation of an answer

Simple. Go to your hood take out the negative terminal of your battery for saftey reason so as to avoid deploying your airbag. Located 2 hex screw side by side of the sterring close to the steering. Take them out inorder to remove the airbag. Once airbag is out locate a 17mm nut, your might be a different size located at the center of the steering. Take it out. Once out tap the extreme sides (left and right extreme) of the steering with both hands. This is done inorder to take steering out easily. Once done readjust steering to its normal position.

Note of warning : before doing this make sure your car is parked on a straight lane and all wheels are straight Aslo if clock spring or steering angle sensor is rotated during the process. MKe sure you take it out and recount the spiral cable to its recommended turns. You don't wana joke with this part cos if you do. You are gonna damage your steering angle sensor and you loose your horn working like wise any buttons installed on your steering would not work, also your airbag light becomes illuminated, pen down

DatechMan:
What about a Golf 4 for 500k?

Have you forgotten about what I said earlier. I can't do without a car. It's either I hold on to my corolla or sell off to get another car.

Thanks

Why jumping from frypan to fire? All the cars you mentioned above must have being thoroughly abused considering they are Nigerian used. You wouldn't wana go near that passat would you? You have problems with just an ordinary corolla now you finking of vw passat. Its alright. I wrote previously am following this thread back to back. There is never a day I do not read this thread

Bump!!!

Good day friends,

Please I need your advices. I bought my first car, a tokumbo Camry 2007 recently and I need your suggestions based on the following. I'm yet to visit a mechanic but I just want suggestions so that I won't fall wrongly.

The car drives smooth except for sometimes it jerks.
It came with remote key but the remote key doesn't work. I suspect it could be dead battery.
It shows the amber Check engine sign on the dashboard
The security is not activated, and doesn't blink
The engine compartment seem dusty, I want to know if I should visit a car wash
Some say I should change the tyres.

Please I need your suggested recommendations on the steps I should follow even though I visit a mechanic.

The yellow amber "check" sign means there is a problem with your powertrain (engine and transmission) this problem could be a permanent or temporary one. First thing you need do is run a comprehensive scan on your to know what fault error (s) are stored in the pcm. Repairs would be carried out based on the fault on error.

It is normal for the security to blink when your key is removed in the ignition cylinder, once your key is inserted into the ignition the transponder chip synchronizes with the immobiliser and the ecu to initiate a start. The latter should be yours if not your would never start.

If you need to wash the engine compartment I would recommend a hand wash. If you need to fix the problem on your car and you are in lagos call 08156087872 or 08165520837

This codes aint from a camry 1999. Clear codes, drive car for 20mins-30mins and rerun a scan and revert back with the codes left

ogawisdom:
More details provided read n advice further, where can I locate MAF sensor on this car

Your car wasn't built with a maf sensor rather an air intake temperature sensor. What year is your ride. That diagnostic port is obd1 snappee by you

Am following this thread back to back

What is wrong with yours? Thats an intake air temperature sensor. Cleaning with fuel? Then you must be ready to get another one. There is a cleaning solution. A bit pricy though

For your car ac fix call multiautolab 08165520837 or 08156087872.
