To be sincere I don’t know the name of the coolant that way used before..I’ve never changed or add anything to the coolant reservoir since I got the car Nov.2021 from Canada but little one remaining inside seems like water or so

Can't be just water if u ask me for it to have lasted that long. Open your radiator cap and see whats in there? At least u should see some colored stuff, could be red, pink, green liquid...

Chai!! I’ve opened the radiator cap yesterday and top the small space there with water it doesn’t even take much drop at all but color is like pink….I’m sure it’s not another color from either pink or red..

Okay. I own a corolla 2010 though and use the pink coolant. Yours shouldn't be far fetched.

Make sure to fill ur coolant reservoir to the recommended level as soon as possible. Avoid using water though but u can use it for emergency purposes only. Cheers.

For the vibration, it could be one of many reasons.

The broken mount can lead to increased vibration and noises especially when the compressor of AC puts pressure on the engine. Could also be your plugs.

Best to have an auto engineer check it out for you.

For ur Key fob,, Could be the batteries....

Good evening GAZZUZZ and other car gurus,

My 2010 corolla car came with steel wheels and I am considering changing all the wheels to alloy but a guy I spoke with says I have to buy another type of tyres that are compatible to alloy wheels that my current tyres only work for steel wheels.

I would like to know if this is true.

Thanks

omo see scope.

Or probably you misunderstood the guy, 15inch tyre will work with any 15rim whether alloy or steel.

But if current have 15steel rims and decided to upgrade to 16inch alloy rim, your current tyres won't work with new rim.

I don't think I misunderstood him because I don't want to change wheel size ..


Thanks so much for the clarification

Contrary to what toyota or other manufacturers tell you, Automatic transmisison fluids are not meant for life. They are meant to be changed at some point in time, usually 30k miles.


I also have a corolla 2010 and the gear oil color has changed but I am scared of buying fake fluid because a friend's car developed gear problems after changing the gear oil.

Please how can I get the genuine gear oil for Toyota Corolla 2010.

I live in Abuja and Kaduna

Good evening GAZZUZZ and other car gurus,

1) I will be changing my Corolla 2010 wheels from steel to alloy and I am considering changing the TPMS and I searched for the ones for the car using the Part Number but I couldn't get them. I am considering buying from aliexpress.

IC: 3729APMBV107J

2) I also want to clean, restore and protect the car headlights as I noticed they are beginning to lose brightness. Can I buy any of those Chinese made headlights restore kits in the market? I am scared of damaging the headlights because they are follow come grin

You are telling me to contact you for ordinary small advice. Are you not trying to defeat the purpose of this thread?

I am a hands-on DIY guy with a bachelors and two masters in engineering with over 10 years on-the-field practical experience. What's so special about cleaning headlights that you feel I'll have to contact you?

Lol

Empty pride and chest beating
I’m not here to beat my chest. If you have 8 PhD degrees, I don’t need those info as they’re are only useful to you and not me.
I only quote you because I can get you GENUINE ATF and a cheap but highly effective headlight cleaning and restoration compound since you stated Abuja and Kaduna, but since you’re all about d*ck measurement and pride, suit yourself.

1) I made two separate requests to the forum only for you (in a sly manner) reply both requests telling me to contact you through your phone number. Why can't you post the information here like everyone is doing. Besides, other folks in the same situation can also benefit from such information because I have benefited a lot from other people's experience on this thread. I have also helped folks on this forum in my own little way without thinking of cornering and fleecing them of their hard earned money. You can keep hoarding your knowledge and shove it up your **se. Other non cunning members of this forum will help. Just watch and see.

2) Only an unintelligent person would not have noticed that my ID/monicker is suggesting I am someone in the field of technology and I am not responsible for your inability to earn PhDs

First things first, it may interest you to know I have been in this forum since 2008 first as Lomomike and was a moderator and then as kingreign. I have helped countless number of people here and on other platforms and even in real life so I am not some random online digital identity, I am very real. Ask around a lot of people know me.
Secondly, I have not had anyone called me cunning or attempt to fleece anyone and I am very comfortable with what earn, I’m not some poor random fellow, I live in my own house and I don’t pay rent in FCT, I pay my bills and I’m doing very well for my age mate. Your rather poor and unintelligent thought that your contact me to provide you with product for your own good amounts to fleecing and defrauding you or whatever is very silly and foolish of you and goes to show how your thought process is. Only a corrupt mind knows and assume another is. If you don’t cheat and aren’t corrupt, you won’t think automatically every person out there is a cheat and corrupt.
Also, I bagged 2 Post graduate degrees one in Environmental management, and an MBA and I have attended other courses both in my profession and in my line of business also I am applying for a PhD programme and all these are fully paid by me and was awarded to me based on character and in learning but I did not blow my trumpet or carry the matter on my head like a bill board which you did.
Besides that, people from all works of life, both old and young, female and male do frequently contact me and are still going to contact me for one or two things even if you don’t contact me, and heaven won’t fall.

Lastly, stop this your senseless silly pride and needless ego. Life is transient and this world don’t revolve around your silly immature personality.

Oh one more thing @ the bolded, I paid for the knowledge I have and still acquiring till date. I burn over 120gb or data every month for videos and online courses in auto repairs and I also paid for professional courses and research. I stay awake till early in the morning and a lot of times I don’t sleep at night damaging my health and risking my life, while at you are busy snoring loudly in your sleep, and you want that knowledge for free?

You are a sly, cunning, dishonest fellow who wants to unsurp from others by reaping where you did not sow!

1. Read the review of the product if it will work.

2. If you feel you can do it no problem, DIY is a learning point for all, if you damage it, you can pay an expert to redo it.
