Good evening gurus in the house. I just noticed something in my VW jetta car.
When the car is cold, like when I'm starting it after a long park let's say in the morning.
If I engage the gear where D or R, the car jerks heavily. But if I've used the car for some time and it's warmed up I won't experience such symptom as it will engage quietly.
Please advise...

The mechanic said there’s no leakage on the intake. This is frustrating. Do you have any good technician you can recommend in PH?

Physical inspection required for this, we can’t diagnose it remotely.

Since you’re ‘scared of mechanics tampering with unnecessary things’, you can as well keep driving the car in that state. No offense meant

Is the engine oil shorting? Have you checked you gear oil too?

You need to know which of the oil is entering the radiator

Good afternoon @Kingreign, please i used about 45 litres of petroleum for a journey of about 394 kilometer, without AC. The car is Toyota Avensis 2010 automatic. With the same litres of petrol i cover about 500 kilometers on Honda Accord 2000 model manual without AC too.

Is my Toyota over consuming fuel? The catalytic converter on the Avensis was broken and even blocked the exhaust which my panel beater had to remove. Should i go ahead and replace the catalytic converter to save money on fuel? Or is the fuel consumption normal?

Thank you.

Good afternoon sir, pls check that the exhaust is not clogged and also scan the car to pick up fault codes (if any) then post here.

Good evening brother, I drive a LEXUS RX300, 2000 model. Presently, my car consumes a whole lot of fuel and the fuel guage keeps dancing up and down. I have asked someone to check the fuel level. He opened the fuel pump side and said the fuel is extremely low...after I spent 15k on fuel 2 nights ago. Let me use LEKKI EXP WAY as an example ... from first toll gate to 2nd toll gate... fuel of 10k will be consumed. Please help a brother. Thanks in anticipation.

You can certainly do better than this response. That fear of illiterate mechanics is real.

most likely your oil cooler has been compromised, it is located close to the sump.

It’s part of your I-vtec. You may need to check if your oil is dirty or low, then get fresh oil and filter. Remove that part and clean the screen and that sensor using appropriate cleaners. Afterwards, you need to install it back in reverse order after-which you will have to clear codes and take car for a spin to test it.

Please I drive a 2000 toyota camry and the oil specification is 5W 30 but I have been advised to discontinue its use as my car is an older engine. I was told to use 20W 50. Is this a wise decision please.

Does the oil burn or is the engine smoking?
