My Camry 03 smokes heavily and the engine compression is very low, I had to park the car since last week at home. My mechanic said I should bring 150k to open the engine and check the crankshaft, rings and top cylinder, which im very doubtful.
Today I scanned the car and got error codes P0303 P0304 and P0300.

Pls kindly advice or recommend a good mechanic around Ago palace Okota. Thanks

How long have the engine served you? If it's upto 5 years of steady driving.
I will advise you buy a complete or half engine block.
That 150k might be a waste and you will end up buying a new engine. From experience.

Good morning everyone.

Thank you very

[quote author=masam post=122980415][/quote]It has served. Change the engine. If you don't have money for a complete 2Az engine, you can buy block engine. Or the 1Az version, more fuel efficient and doesn't burn oil. But, it won't have the same horse power as the 2Az. It's 10x Better than ringing that Engine. It's like throwing money into ocean.

please I need advice about this, my Peugeot 206 break does not work until I pump the break before it starts breaking, I recently took it to mechanic, he checked my break pad and disk and said they are OK, he then loosen up my car master break cylinder and said it is the culprit that hydraulic fluid has leaked into it and that it needs to be replaced. The price of the Master break cylinder is 9,000. Please I need advice. Thanks Gazzuz

I drive 2003 Toyota Camry

The issue was that my RPM usually goes up and down on its own even when d car is on P(Park). It will just be fluctuating on its own. I changed all coil and plug, clean throttle mouth and fuel injector, changed fuel pump but nothing work until when d brainbox was changed yesterday
I drove it today and it seems d car is moving normal until this evening when I noticed the rpm is rising again. Pls what could be the cause and permanent solution?

Hello Guys.

I checked for RX 300 4 x 4 engine on jiji

And am seeing Engine for sienna, highlander and Rx300 together.

Can these 3 cars use the same Engine.

Or is there a way to know the one suitable for Rx300 only.

I don't want to buy mixup Engine thanks

If you're familiar with Ladipo and their antics, then you must have heard that term appearance”.
It could mean different things depending on how you're looking at it.
If you want to buy a used car and the seller tells you he just bought tokunbo engine in it, it's either he's selling you rebuilt engine in the name of tokunbo or he actually did replaced the engine.
