Hello All.
Pls and pls.
I just got a toyota corrola 2010.
Everything was fine and d engine was sounding well.
After purchase, since i intend to go long journey with it, i took it for servicing. Oil filter and engine oil was changed, since dt day, i started hearing a knocking sound like on my engine. Could oil cause such noise? I hve it recorded bt i dont how to send it here. The sounds is worrysome nd get worst everyday... The mechanic was saying after d oil circulates it will stop but here we are, every cold start, it start and continue. This tin started from my hand and dats why i want to see what i can do to clear it.
Cc: gazzuzu Dozieon siena6 pls help ur boi, let me know if ds sudden sound can dissapear.

OIL USED BELOW

Poor inspection before purchase. The oil is not high quality , but will not cause knocking sounds so quick.

My car smokes black only when accelerating but stops afterwards.

It burns oil too. However, everything else is fine. It fires well.

Any remedy? Can anything be done?


Or should I just change the engine?

black smoke is not an indicator of oil burn.

It is an indicator of incomplete combustion.

You should scan the vehicle

Good afternoon GAZZUZZ, kingreign, autologic, and other car gurus,
I have a Toyota Corolla 2010.
I bought an ELM337 OBDII and used it to scan the car using the Torque pro app on my phone and the following error codes (P0106 and P0700) popped up.
I then proceeded to clear the error codes because I read on the internet that it is better to clear error codes first and drive around for a while to see If the error codes return before you take your car for maintenance.

Do you guys think it is a good idea for me to clear the error codes first?

If your vehicle has a P1887 DTC, it means that the switch that lets the ECU know the TCC clutch/torque converter clutch is no longer engaged, is not responding properly. If this happens, the engine and transmission will not function properly together. Which means performance could suffer and safety could be affected.
I suggest you Change your speed sensor.

It's a CVT, there's no lock up clutch, no torque converter.

Make sure the slide pin on the new caliper is not rusted (use the right grease on this pin if there isn't any grease) and that the piston in the caliper moves freely as well. If all checks out, change the flexible brake hose feeding that caliper. These hose sometimes collapse and trap the hydraulic fluid against the caliper piston.
