Pls guys, help me recommend:

1. A scanner that can scan 2010 Lexus RX350 full system including transmission.

2. A budget friendly scanner that can be used to start up commercial scanning / diagnostic center.

Good morning my people,

Please I recently changed my Exhaust system and after sometime I noticed that my vehicle jerks while on motion, according to my mechanic he said that fuel mixes with water somewhere.

Now I hear a kind of sand at the back like woooooooooo while accelerating the vehicle. This sound can be frustrating. The mechanic said it is inner shaft bearing, which he has changed, yet the noise is still there. Please does anyone have an idea of what is wrong please?

Vehicle: Toyota Avalon 2022

Gear isn't moving at all. Apparently, it was electrical problem, the rewire took the inner fuse box away to fix it. Problem solved. Thanks guys.

Unless you don't have trust in your mechanic, the person fixing is in the best position to get your engine else they'll blame poor installation on the engine and the buyer

Good evening
I drive a Camry 2010 model and when I change my gear to reverse and drive the vehicle jerks/kicks vigorously. I have change engine Mount twice. Also, I have recently noticed a 5 sec delay when I change from reverse to drive.

I have attached a screenshot of the scan report gotten few months ago.

Please I need help from someone on what could be the cause.

My alternator was not charging my car battery which triggered the battery sign. This has been worked on and alternator tested ok. But since then the battery is not charging fully as my battery keeps discharging even while driving. Though the battery sign is no longer showing. Please assist with what could be the possible reason for this.

Replace with another battery and test.

First if you can get another ECT to test just to be sure the code won't come back, if it comes back then the solenoid might be bad tho.

I think you need to change your mechanic, find a trusted Panel beater that will connect the exhaust well to the engine. He might need to use Exhaust gum if u don't do it your vehicle will consume 2-3X fuel and Engine misfire will continue
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Eazilyfe: 6:14pm On Dec 17, 2024
Do you think it's good to use Coolant or just pour water in it? I always see the dashboard Temperature at 97° and sometimes 101°. I drive 09 Toyota Matrix
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by 2cribz: 10:23pm On Dec 17, 2024
Thats the outside temperature. Your main guage is H And C or red and white temp guage in dashboard. If its racing to red.na overheating be that

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by FineUsername(m): 9:19pm On Dec 18, 2024
Always use coolant with your thermostat intact.

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by komek(m): 10:39pm On Dec 18, 2024
Thank you so much. That is exactly what I did and the hub bearing was changed by another mechanic, now the sound has reduced.

I will search for a Panel beater like you advised.

Thank you

What car are you driving? cos some cars you have to reprogram the system to let it know it has to re charge the battery.There is a place to clixk that says change battery
