Well, not writing the compensator code will not stop it from working if every other thing is fine. That, just like clearing memory for U151 is to smoothen shifts quicker.

Roadside dudes install these gears without ever touching a scanner, and get them to work.

One interesting thing about auto transmissions is that a N200 rubber can ground a 700k transmission grin Many gears are better repaired/rebuilt than replaced with used. Nissans come to mind!
But in most cases not as designed.

what they ignore? Transmission coding , transmission fluid filling and gauging procedure which should be done at a specific temperature, etc.

MotorGuru, you are really doing a good job.

keep it up.

Please between AWD and FWD of Rav 4 2005 model, which will you advice?
Thank you sir for your kind words.

to your question:
Both are good.
The AWD will consume more fuel.
The AWD will be highly valuable anytime you encounter a bad terrain.
The AWD has more parts to its drive train, hence a tad more expensive to repair (propeller shaft, associated bearings, differential etc)

Good day house, pls help I am at a cross road, I presently drive a Mercedes c240 but I want to upgrade to a SUV . I don't know which to go for between 2010 Mercedes ml350, 2010 Lexus rx350, 2010 Honda pilot. I will like a general over view, thanks.
In simple terms:

The 2010 lexus RX350 is a careful balance of luxury, reliability and cost of ownership. Very high resale value. Proven drivetrain.
the 2010 ML350 will give a a more rewarding driving experience and features(in particular safety). May be the most expensive to run among the 3
the 2010 Honda Pilot will be more practical if cabin and cargo space is your concern. It is also very reliable.To be fair , a more worthy competitor would have been the Acura MDX.

You heard it right. The two cans of ATF to be used cost for as low as[b] N13,000 each[/b]
and you might need to buy it twice or more but you might be lucky it will be once.

Chai! See money wey I dey miss ooooo shocked
of course you are.

What people dont realise about the U660E is that due to the fact that it has its seperate TCU, if at any point the automatic transaxle is replaced, the transaxle's compensation code must be input into the TCM. The Transaxle compensation codes are unique, 60-digit
alphanumeric values printed on the QR label usually found on the body of the transaxle. If an incorrect transaxle compensation code is input into the TCM (or it is not input at all), shift shock will occur. This will require a high end diagnostic scanner for the transmission programming.

ttip247:
I just got a Lexus es330. After the oil and filter changing, I noticed the car is shaking a little and whenever I start the car after like 12hours of not using it, the check engine light blinks and stay ON afterwards. Please anyone with similar experience and how to sort it. I intend to scan the car soon.
You have an engine misfire.

Likely culprits: ignition coil(s), Fuel injector(s), spark plug(s)

What is your current mileage?

Boxzyy24:
Good morning,please I own a 2013 Hyundai Elantra automatic transmission and my car doesn't start after changing my crankshaft sensors as the old one cut,when the car is rolled from the engine,the kick start rolls the engine but it doesn't start,but when rolled with the key,it doesn't roll,just makes a kack kack kack sound,it happened after a rewire opened the fuse box,prior to that,when the engine is cold it won't start,I'll have to crank it for a while pressing the throttle before it starts and when it does it doesn't function well at all,it doesn't rev properly but when the engine heats up it starts,it happened for a while until now it doesn't start AT ALL
Please I'm confused now cause they don't know the cause of the problem as every wiring is not faulty,but they say enough light is not entering the kick start,and they say it's brainbox issue
Please help
This is a mission to reduce that car to scrap.

The crankshaft sensor failure is not uncommon with this car, and should be a simple fix.
Please get another mechanic who at least knows how to scan your car and interpret codes.

My Mechanic changed the top gasket of my Civic today. The radiator was no longer producing bubbles. I drove the car for quite some distance and discovered the engine was not as smooth as it used to be. He said the old top gasket got burnt that after some time this new one will set and the engine will return to normal.
Attached is the old gasket.
Get another mechanic to check your timing.

Big Chief.. I did a scan today.. and I got loads of issues, ranging from misfiring, transmission and air system.. I instructed the scan guy to send the screenshot to me on WhatsApp and he's been avoiding my chats reason cuz he said he can fix all the issue.
But his charges are way too high and he suspect I might take it to another Mech.
Lastly I drove it through flood early this week.
Please get another person to scan it for you. You can post the codes here

Well I see no build up of carbon from the pics tho, but what if all carbon buildup has been cleaned thoroughly prior to the picture taken?. That's another dimension to look Sha, just thinking out loud
That would be very unlikely.
This is a port injected engine and not a direct injected one, so the intake valves will always be clean, as it receives a steady rinse from the injectors ( nozzles)

If it was a GDI engine, then seeing carbon buildup at the intake valve will not be a surprise.

nurey:
The lambda 3.3L V6 has been known to require valve adjustment like the old days, because obviously the design engineers skipped it.

“A noisy valve is a happy valve.” Sort of true- way too loose can make the thing wear out faster (although way too tight can burn a valve during one good highway run.)

You burned the valve during a good highway run, crown bent first, on the return leg, it hit the piston at and odd angle like a knife through butter trapped on the piston, the continous movement finished the remaining work.
Interesting perspective:

But i think this engine uses bucket shims in which any adjustment would require the replacement of the shim (unlike Honda K24 engines). Do you mean that it required the inspection and replacement of all 24 valve shims at specific mileages?

Btw this engine was fist introduced in 2006.

Hello sir

I intend buying a Nigerian used 2008 Toyota Camry SE or XLE. What are the things I should look out for while inspecting the car. Will a budget if 1.5-1.6 get me the car in good condition?
4 cyl or v6 sir?

4 cyl:

1.watch out for excessive oil consumption
2.Ensure the gear has not been converted from 13pin (U250E) to to 10 pin(U141E)
3.Check ac compressor and ensure it has not been tampered with(converting for Variable displacement type -automatic type to the fixed
displacement type-manual)
4.check for suspension wear (shock absorbers and linkages)
5. Get a sound technician to inspect the car for you
6. check for any sign of accident damage
7. Pray to God.


your budget is ok, but i suggest you have additional 200K to your 1.6 for a very clean example. Just in case
