Park the car. Possible solution is changing your oil pump. But your engine is full of sludge

GAZZUZZ:


Possible problems.

Excessive wear in crankshaft journals or bearings or both .

Sludge .

Remotely not possible to diagnose .

Good evening GAZZUZZ,

Please i am having low engine oil pressure warning (Camry 2008) (Please note my oil level is not low

I scanned and i got this error...p0012 - camshaft position a - timing over retarded (bank 1).

In an attempt to to solve this error, I have changed the oil filter, cleaned the vvt Solenoid but all doesn't seems to take the warning away.


Please any idea of what could be wrong or possible solution ?

Thanks a lot

Chief Gazzuzz,

I drive a 2007 Lexus ES350. I was on my way from Ilorin on Friday and noticed that the vehicle seems to rev louder when it wants to change to gear 2 and it'll balance itself. I immediately informed my mechanic, who asked that I manage it to Ibadan and that I shouldn't start it the following day, till he come around to check the gear oil.

The gear was gauged and was short, so he decided to drain the oil and it was noticed it is so black. He decided to loose the bottom of the gear where the filter is, so as to clean it with petrol.

After all was done, vehicle was tested and it actually picked very well compare to when I was coming from Ilorin, but still revs at shifting to gear 2.

Pls what do you advise as he said theirs a valve that a rewire needs to work on further?

Biko I need help here. On Saturday I went to fix back the thermostat in my car due to fuel consumption issues. After I left there, my battery warning light came up. Since Saturday, it comes and goes. For example throughout yesterday, I didn't see it but while driving out to work this morning, it came up again. When it comes up, I get a check charging system warning on my instrument cluster. I don't have a multimeter to check the battery voltage but while driving, my scanner is always plugged on and it keeps giving me battery reading of 14volts at least. I dont have hard starting issues. So what could be wrong? I drive an Acura TSX 2008 model.

GAZZUZZ:


We are in 2023. What are the scan codes

Deigofortune:
Boss does thermostats has a role to play on Car Fuel consumption issues.. I'm curious to know, because mine was removed when I bought Tok Engine....

GAZZUZZ:


Sadly no guide. Contamination most likely.

Way out of remote diagnosis

toba1909:


Ok.

Thanks so much.

I want to also confirm if gear is repairable or not, as he said gear is bad?

GAZZUZZ:


It is repairable only if the technician involved is knowledgeable.

Anything outside that is a big money pit

Please i have been using Honda Engine Oil 5W-30 for my car and which has been working very fine altoght after 5000Km it short a little.

The last time i serviced, the oil was not available so i used Hardex 5W-30, i noticed i hvae not gotten to 1500km and the oil has so short is at the middle of the dip stick which is very unsual. The car is not smoking.

Hello Boss,
I got one Audi Q5E 2021, once I drove through an area with busted water pipes. I made it through but the water got the engine messed up.

I bought a new complete engine from Audi . I am looking at brining a Mechanick from Nigeria to fix it . Air Peace fly here nonstop 3hrs.

Since this cars are hybrid and fully electronics wanna go for the best hand.

Kindly advise . #Ose Baba

So guys I’m using Camry spider 2014, hv been using the car for 2yrs bought it as toks. Whenever I service my car I do use good 5months before I start noticing any shortage in oil though I don’t travel only go to work and come back. Then recently due to some family stuff hv been traveling a lot this is the second time in space of 4 or 5 weeks I will be changing the oil. I first thought it was fake Mobil, I changed to hardex gold in 2 weeks after changing to hardex the oil level has almost gotten to the second line though hv been traveling a lot recently . Mechanic checked and said there was no leakage that it’s the way spider was built, it consumes a lot of oil. Please I need your opinions guys. Thanks
