Also please I’d like to ask what causes an engine to make a cranking or rattling noise when you start it in the morning, it starts fine and you’d hear some noise like (krrrrrrrrr) for about about 1-2 seconds and it disappears.

I’ve seen this in Camry engines and 1AR engines too, seems the noise is coming from the ti wing chain side(not sure) but some said it’s cause like is not circulating fast enough when you start the engine.

Sounds cannot be diagnosed online. Also rattling sound at startup points to wrong oil weight used for a long time. Scan the vehicle it will throw a code.

modskiller:
Please I have a vehicle with an issue.

1st the idle can be rough when it’s hot.

2nd the transmission is smooth but when it is about to go into GEAR 3 (when you’re driving slow or below 20-30KMph) it will pause for like 2 seconds then engage, but if you’re going fast or taking off and acceleration climbs highs (even when you’re coming from being stationary 0KM upwards and your making fast) it won’t pause and it will shift smooth.

Please what can be the cause.

Nothing is wrong with your transmission

Lekan239:
hope this electronic power steering of a thing will not be a problem in Nigeria sha

Many vehicles are using it ooo. Not problematic but always avoid flooded areas if you can

Lekan239:
ok

Your car uses electronic power steering. It's the Si trim with the 2.0L engine

Mrluv:
yes

1. Maybe spectranet network no dey your location

2. Sim not yet activated or not working in the phone, check to see if the phone recognize a sim. Switch the sim around btw 1 and 2

3. Go to their office to complain and talk to their techy there.

Does your phone support LTE band 40 (2300), if no then you can't get network access

Thanks
I don’t have ability to get Tokunbo but I want to go for nigeria used. Anything to look out for?

so many things to look out for reason why you should pay for the services of a technician with the right tools to inspect the vehicle for you.

contact gazzuzz he is good at what he does

Reading political news makes me perplexe. With the situation in the country, these ones aren't bothered about the common man on the street.

A shout out to the hard working parents, may God crown our efforts 🙏🙏🙏

philipobiz:
Think outside the box. Most things that people do is inside the box. That's why they struggle. It's only a few that are outside the box that are way ahead of the economic problem the world and Nigeria is facing

Thank you for the advice and word of encouragement I am truly grateful 🙏🙏🙏🙏

philipobiz:
Guy. This positive reasoning alone will not help you. I see you post it in almost every thread

What to do bro, what to do.

Kingdemu:
Stop calling buygala and nurey here. One is just a roadside charge and bail lawyer while the other one is a sit-at-home husband.

My brother send me something this sit at home wan finish me

HeartlessMan:
nurey and co go get like 3 sacks for house.

I have 20feet container worth of it. May this catalyst stealing favour me and my family

abiolag:
Thanks boss
Fuel economy and maintenance cost, which is better?

Fuel economy is identical for the various engine type I4, V6 and hybrid.

Maintenance 07-11 should be cheaper in maintenance than 12-17

michaelwilli:
Is it that they don't consult the torque spec when putting it back together?

Bros you funny mechanic go loosen 10 bolt, tie back and still have extra 4 wey he no know where he remove am.

Transmission technicians are very rare in Nigeria also replacement quality parts are expensive and scarce in our parts market.

abiolag:
I’m contemplating on getting the Camry 2013 but this your review scares me 😱

Between 2013 or 2011 camry, which will u suggest someone should go for? Especially for someone that needed it for official and weekend Uber job

The one you can afford. Apart from the plasticky interior and shape of the 12-13 camry that's the only disadvantage I see to 2010-11 Camry

Fuadeiza:
I was aware they stopped NG police from asking for tinted permit for non-factory tinted glasses.


Can FRSC ask for it ?

Or there’s no such thing anymore ?

There is no permit required for factory tint, their is however permit needed for non factory tint except that police no dey disturb some vehicles like Peugeot they would believe you are a uniform personnel.

FRSC has no business with tint permit but fear dem pass police or army, dem fit bill you 3k for just one bulb not working

I complained of water from my 2009 Toyota Corolla radiator entering my gearbox. I have been able to fixed that, thanks for the heads-up @ id4sho.

You know even before we discharged the water, on my way to mechanic, the gear would neutralise/free itself and picked again.

I complained that to my mechanic, he removed the gear brain box and wash it with petrol and dry it. Put it back and the movement is smooth now.

The only challenge now is experiencing difficulty if I want to reverse or finding it hard to reverse untill I press or fire harder before it picked.

My mechanic said I should exercise patient let the oil circulate.

I don't know how true or reliable that could be

When foreign object contaminates the transmission system (water, wrong fluid, metal shavings) you are suppose to do a drain and refill twice or thrice if you can afford it) first drain, drive like 50 to 100km then drain and refill again to allow complete removal of contamination including those hiding in the clutch converter.

If after that their is still slip or refusal to enter gear, scan that will enable you plan for next step.

The issue with transmission is once technician loosen it, they wont be able to bolt is back to the required torque, also wrong position of valve body components which leads to failure eventually

Dozieson:
Toyota Camry was stolen in lugbe and corolla stolen is Kubwa last week. We have more Toyota in Abuja than any other car

Tell us another story, Camry Corolla have always been stolen regularly

Dozieson:
Bros the rate of car theft in Abuja is very high now. They have started stealing already

People are still driving cars but not as before. My neighbours battery was replaced with a bad one in a mech's workshop. Another's CAT was also stolen too.

Those are normal car parts nah, catalyst, ECU, radio, battery even tires, till thy kingdom come they will continue to get stolen.

But toyota will always get stolen in SW while Honda in North

Blankstare:
What do you mean by eps?

Electronic power steering

Blankstare:
I see! But the i10 look like a box , don't fancy it. Are u saying all the accent's can probably develop the problem you mentioned?

All accent 2005 to 2010 came with EPS steering nah Rio get the rack and pinion own. Both vehicles are same thing sha. Part, engine, transmission. The US spec accent have a standard temp guage which notifies one early if vehicle is about to overheat.

The car is good, reliable and fuel efficient. They don't breakdown easily and bad roads doesn't affect their suspension setup, I have used both the Rio and Accent b4. That accent fine sha especially when still clean than the Rio and they age quite well

Faulty EPS will just make the steering hard at low speeds or at stand still. With EPS no need of steering fluid I used mine with faulty EPS and it was a highway vehicle for me. I always used 15L for 220km

Dozieson:
They will start stealing people's car

Steal how? People never chop nah car dey wan buy, besides selling a stolen car whole is very hard than selling as part, as people no dey use car, who wan buy the part?

I10 more fuel efficient than accent which has better fuel use than elantra.

Accent is very fuel efficient but those bought in naija don't have the regular temp guage a turnoff which causes engine damage at overheating, it has EPS steering which damages in water and expensive to replace. The engine too isn't cheap around 6xxk upwards. I would prefer u buy a kia Rio esp US spec not those bought brandnew in Nigeria.

Elantra is okay but the body is fragile, rust sets in especially in flooded area, doesn't age well. Apart from those, they are reliable and affordable.

Johnson5258:
Please, has anyone seen some Nigerian Customs officers advertising some cars on Facebook? How genuie is it?

Here is theLink:

Thanks.

It's better you use your money drink beer and carry Olosho than fall for custom scam

buygala:
Cost effective as per say e no dey chop fuel?

Are those vehicles also cost effective in cost of replacement parts?

Abi the money used in buying parts is different from the one used to buy fuel?


Vehicle cost effectiveness is cumulative of many factors, not only fuel economy... I no sabi wetin give una the notion say as long as motor dey use 5 litre fuel for 100km, e dey cost effective...

You always like to prove over sabi, but I won't gratify your attention seeking

Goodluck

fineboynl:
What you said catalyst or spacer? What do you mean by spacer?

Google O2 sensor spacer, you will learn something new when you do. It's a long read but worth it

1. There is no cheap fix for cars anymore. All the issues are related to fuel consumption, fixing all will give you cost savings.
one you have to buy new catalyst 200k or Spacer 25k to solve that.

two your spark plug may be bad 3500 for a single one, if the plug doesnt work then change the coil which is around 5k for tokunbo

three your charcoal cannister otilo

four O2 sensor tokunbo is 15k for your veghicle.

2. Cut your coat according to your size, sell your 2.4L engine and buy cars that can give you 6L/100km (1.1L-1.4L) thank God their are many cost effective and reliable brand out there.

Good initiate for employers of Labour.

Make i go confirm my result ooo before resullt upgraders do me strong thing

showietee:
I am in Abuja and the accord I have seen is from 4.7m above...

Don't just like all these Toyota carton, reason I am not really looking at Camry.... Have used several of them, especially the 2013 Camry, the moment you get to 120km the car becomes very light

Yeah I just checked only the 08 and 09 accord is 4m plus the 10 to 12 are very expensive upto 5m sef for tokunbo.

Just settle for the camry 10 or 11, it's still good too.

showietee:
It was ₦4m but might increase in a bit if something worth it comes along...

2010 to 11 camry starts around 4.5m maybe the accord can be gotten for that price

showietee:
Thank you bro.... Choices have seen has been above budget.... Might switch to suv, even if costlier.

What is your budget?
