Thanks for the responses.

The gasket has been changed twice. The second mechanic that changed the gasket claims the first gasket was fake. He removed the radiator to wash with warm water and fuel, yet the issue still persist. If the engine is bad, shouldn't the indication sign blink on the dashboard? There is no sign on the dashboard and the car has stopped overheating. The only problem is engine oil getting short and oil inside the radiator. The temperature sign does not get to the tank logo.

These are the pictures taken this morning. Because of the continuous oil leakage, I decided to use black oil to test the vehicle. The oil was at its full gauge as at last week Monday. Please advice on what to do.

I know this is not what you wanted to hear, I know the pain and I know the way people had said it it might sound umempathetic, but it is the best and for the best... change engine... 200k to 300k...you good to go

Why not scan and share codes

The radio system on my Toyota Corolla 2014 model no longer boots and the radio and other infotainment system are no longer working.

A radio technician here says I'll have to change the radio to like and Android system, or get a Navigation Disk, any help with getting any of them ?

Check fuses and relays first.
Then we can proceed from there.

Hello, I have Mazda CX9 2009 Model. The car uses fuel excessively and the Steering is difficult to turn when the car is put in reverse.

Does anyone have ideas for caused of this?
Can anyone recommend good mechanic in Ibadan with upto date knowledge of diagnostic system.

Hello bro...have you been able to resolve this?

ChineduObinna:

How did you check?

The fuses are usually transparent. So you should raise the fuse towards a source of light to see whether the thin wire inside is still intact.

Noted

Most likely the engine will not signal a scanner which shows it is gone. Also, block engine leakage is a recipe for condemned engine. Sorry but you have to replace the engine

Yesterday, I entered water with my Camry 08 and when I came out I noticed it was misfiring and then after some driving it stopped moving forward but can reverse, I had to park it.

I went to pick it up this morning it was still misfiring and I was able to move forward say 2km it stopping moving forward again. Pls how do I fix this.

I just scanned it now and I got a P0031 error code and I tried googles seems like an issue with my O2 sensor, what’s the best way to fix this ans what are the things I should look out for when the mechanic is fixing it.

Focus on the crankshaft codes and you'll be fine

Exactly, plus a rewire guy tested them out with their light and wire screw setup

Good evening car Gurus.
I have a corolla S 2008 that shorts oil, every 3 weeks or 1 month I must top the oil in the vehicle. The car was due for service two months ago but due to or two things, was able to get the oil (Mobile 1) this week.
Like late last month, I discovered that sometimes when I started the car or when I depressed the accelerator after starting, I noticed blue smokes from the tail pipe.
Please help a poor man o. Somebody suggested that I should service it, that the smoke will stop. I'm confused right now cos I want to travel with the by God's grace in December from Kwara to Gombe. I don't want to take a risk of servicing and the problem is with the engine which might involve removing it and wasting my oil.

Kindly help with solution as no money to purchase another vehicle now.

Your rings are bad. Buy a new engine or work on the rings. If you don't have money now you can switch to a thicker oil to reduce the shorting like 20w50

Why does my car clunk when i change gear

adubam:


How rings are bad. Buy a new engine or work on the rings. If you don't have money now you can switch to a thicker oil to reduce the shorting like 20w50

If worked (change) the rings, would the smoke stopped?
Which work should come first: servicing or working the rings.
Where can I get the follow-come of the rings?

If you get a good mechanic it will work fine after replacing the rings. Changing of rings should come first

Thank you very much Sir. I really appreciate.

What would cause a clunking sound in an automatic transmission vehicle when starting out and shifting into drive or reverse? I'm using toyota Corolla spot 2012
