Good morning people. The gear of my Toyota Camry 08 is damaged and I would like to get opinions on how to replace it and cost implication. Thanks |

How exactly are we not worried that a car that cost like N1,400,000 around 5 years ago now costs like N4,000,000+ .....when it should cost around 800k - 900k after 5 years? The car must be depreciating abroad but appreciating in Nigeria Stupid Nigerians and foolish economy policies has turned liabilities into assets. NIGERIANS ARE COLOSSAL FOOLS |

Please kindly share your experience with me. I am seriously experiencing peperish smoke from my car, Toyota Camry Pencil Light V6 Engine. Oxygen Sensor changed, Nuzzles changed, plug changed, Airflow meter is okay according to my mechanic but when I run at 100km/hr that hot peperish smoke will show face. Engine is not shorting oil rather it goes above the guage on daily check. Please what could be responsible for this? |

engineer4mos:You have an exhaust leak. And your vehicle isn't properly sealed if you close and roll up your windows. |

Hello Guru in the house. The 2TR engine and gear in my Toyota Hiace Hummer Bus 1, automatic is having issue and I was advised to get another one. To get another one, I will need between 1.3 to 1.4 m and I don't have up to that at all. Can I replace it with M2R engine which is better in price compare to 2TR. Can it work? Then which expert can you recommend for me. Thanks |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by engineer4mos(m): 10:47pm On Sep 19, 2021 |
kingreign:Thank you for that advice. Note: no exhaust leakage and when I wind up it will not happen, is only when the glass is down. Which other thing do you think might be responsible for that? |

engineer4mos:What is the colour of the smoke ,if black then u have fuel metering issue and can be due to ecu receiving faulted sensor signal. Change your mechanic and look for good technician that is good @ diagnosis to help u with this |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by autologic: 9:29am On Sep 22, 2021 |
ReformerD:Find a technican that has a coolant pressure tester to troubleshoot the leak .

I own a Nigerian used Honda civic 2008. I've spent more time with mechanics than I have spent with the car on the road. Straight one week has been visits to a mechanical workshop. Now, after coming back from a long distant driving and to buy something from the street, the car refused moving. The transmission oil LEAKS. I guess there is a leakage in the gear box. Gurus, please what's the possible solution to this nightmare. Because, as a Matter of this, my car is parked in the street. It's been there since 12pm till now I'm posting this. It will sleep over. The vehicle selects gear, but doesn't move both Drive or Reverse. |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by ArticleBeast: 8:34am On Sep 26, 2021 |
aboyaji:I guess it is the transmission sensor. The last time mine behaved like this, the mechanic just changed the sensors and I haven’t experienced it. I believe it has been giving you some signs which u may have overlooked |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by aboyaji(m): 3:34pm On Sep 26, 2021 |
ArticleBeast:I had the sensor fixed on Saturday before embarking on the long driving. |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by ArticleBeast: 4:12pm On Sep 26, 2021 |
aboyaji:You changed it or used fuel to wash it? If you used fuel, then it is best you change it. You should that there are 4 transmission sensors. 2 small and 2 big ones. With 10-20k you should change the 4. I am speaking for Honda Accord tho |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by aboyaji(m): 6:11pm On Sep 26, 2021 |
ArticleBeast:I gave it to an electrician. He used their computer on it. But I'm thinking it's the gear oil that had leaked out, because it was leaking so much. Note, the vehicle fires or gases well but doesn't move. |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by ArticleBeast: 6:44pm On Sep 26, 2021 |
aboyaji:Then the guy should check for leaks and all |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by aboyaji(m): 8:47pm On Sep 26, 2021 |
ArticleBeast:Leakage is mechanical na. |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by ArticleBeast: 10:05pm On Sep 26, 2021 |
aboyaji:Change the mechanic then. |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by aboyaji(m): 11:19pm On Sep 26, 2021 |
ArticleBeast:Done. Thanks |
