My steering isn't turning smoothly again after steering oil change. It's not making noticeable noise like having air in the system but it's not smooth as it used to be. My mechanic keeps telling me to drive it like that. But I'm not comfortable with it. What can I do?

Boss GAZZUZZ pls say something

It usually happens with the Merc 911 tipper.

Good Morning Gurus in the house.

The brake of my 2005 Toyota Highlander keeps bouncing back when I press it. The brake also gets hard towards when going down making it had for the vehicle to stop at the right time.

I spoke to a brake man and he said the ABS has a problem and needs to be bypassed manually for me to enjoy the brake.

Please is this true?

Before spending 1kobo or doing a bypass as suggested by you mecho, try these inspections;

Remove all 4 tyres and check the condition of the rotors discs. Are they having scarred surface, uneven wear or thinned out. If you notice anyone with any of the above, change that particular one first. Also ensure that the discs have approximately the same thickness. The proper way to measure this is using a vernier caliper, but a diy friendly way is to use measuring tape or ruler.

After all that is taken care of, inspect the condition of all 8 brake pads, if anyone is unevenly worn out, replace it. If it is still full, find a 500grit sand paper, lay it down on a flat surface and file it down until it is evenly flat. You can repeat this step for all the pads until they are all flat and have approximately equal thickness.

Complete all these steps before you try undertaking a parts cannon adventure. Braking system repairs can become expensive pretty fast and pretty quickly, and the outcome may still remain unsatisfactory.

Good morning car gurus in the house. My Camry 012 usually jerks noticeably when changing gears in motion, particularly when speeding. It sometimes does as if it wants to stop suddenly when it wants to change gear. My mechanic has serviced the gear and changed the filter but the issue persists.

What could be the cause, please?

Your mechanic has done the right things so far.
What needs to be tried next is to carry out a transmission adaptation reset. If you have someone with a Professional Scan tool around(not just an error codes guy) approach him and tell him to help you reset the ECT memory. Often times, this works.
If it doesn't, observe this and bring feedback;
Start driving from a full stop. The moment you take off, you are in gear one. Pay attention to how gear 2 enters as you're speeding up. If it is smooth, pay attention to gear 3. What we want to know here is, which gear gives the shift flare. Most common cases is 2-3 shift flares or 3-2binds.
Check these and revert

Hello house.

A friend's 03 Corolla overheated some days ago, but top gasket didn't get burnt (mech checked by putting water and it didn't bubble up and all). The radiator was leaking water small around the draining plug. Radiator fan went off and caused it.

But now he has to top water in the radiator every two days. Not much, but he's concerned his engine is bad or something, and I don't know anything about it.

Pls help. Car moves fine like nothing happened.

Is your friend you?

Your radiator is leaking as you have confirmed. Why don't you want to buy another?

A rewiring technician has diagnosed the car and the result happens to be the gear sensor. Two people that diagnosed it said the same thing. Should I go with this finding?

Car gurus, what's the implication of using manual compressor against automatic?

My car vibrates when ac is on, car on drive and brake pressed.(a noticed that at this condition, rpm is not compensated for the extra load

A little tap on the accelerator and the vibrations go away.

Does this have anything to do with manual compressor?

Car is Honda Accord 2007

This issue stayed with me for months if not a Year.

Today, it was solved.

The solution?



Back engine seat.

I was wowed.

Another secret way guys are cashing out big time in Nigeria and other developing countries

But you should reserve money to learn the process well.

I would say you should let him give it a trial.

Though there are many sensors on an automatic transmission. Speed sensors, temperature sensors and pressure sensors, but these rarely fail.
I am guessing that he's implying that it is the solenoids that needs replacing, not sensors. Mechanics mix the two. Sensor is an input device while solenoid is an output device.

You will do this thread a lot of great service if you snap the pictures of the parts that were replaced and the eventual outcome of the repairs/procedures.

Thanks,

Just saw this response now, try an adaptation memory reset before doing anything physical. I have had experiences where this was the only solution to a problem like this. Resetting the memory should be done using Techstream TIS or an equivalent scan tool with that capability. Only if the problem persist should you go ahead with the solenoid replacement.

Thanks,
