bluetooth car scanners need phone to be able to operate them with

standalone basic scanners are just plug and play abi plug and use, they have screen to relay info but basic because they can only do basic scanning onlike what big car technicians use or dealerships.





Okay thanks they are available on AppStore right !?

Before operating a machine, one that could cause bodily harm to your self and others, you require training .

Pls attend a proper driving sch or get lessons from a professional.

I’m even tired self I’m thinking of even selling it off

It can be fixed. Just that it takes days to 1week for technicians to solve it manually. Whereby they have to trace the leak wire by wire, fuse by fuse and component by component.



But there is a video I watched and stored on my fon that a techguy did it on a spot within like 2hours.

I just can't locate the video in my fon at the moment.


For now, u may have to be unplugging one of the terminal heads of your battery at the end of every driving day.

It could be anything from bad fan, coolant leak, bad radiator, bad head gasket, cracked cylinder wall, bad coolant temperature sensor, village people.
You need a technician to physically inspect the car.

You need a technician to physically inspect the car and possibly a spiritualist to deal with the village people (pun intended)

What kind of playing is this

Why not try and find what's causing the overheating first, before looking for thermostat to remove

Evening house, I recently changed my valve cover seal and spark plugs on my 2006 Toyota Corolla as it was leaking oil, had to be topping it, also find out that some oil leaked into spark plug hole at far right. After changing the seal and plugs, the leaking stopped but the problem now is that the car vibrates at idle, as in, all the plastic of the interior will be rattling until I engage the gear on drive.

Has anyone experienced this before and what do you think I can do to resolve this problem.

Your engine mounts are probably bad. Check them. If they are good, then your engine is likely misfiring. Scan.

A lot of things can cause vibration. It could be as simple as low gear oil, faulty timing belt adjuster etc
