Goodday Car gurus, I noticed that this red light comes on my Toyota Corolla(Bank Type) once the temperature gauge gets to centre of the gauge especially when iam in traffic but once i rev, it disappears and also when i leave traffic and the temperature gauge drops below the centre, it disappears. Please what could be the issue?.

NL1960:Loss of oil pressure. Stop driving that car immediately. Have it checked by a competent technician. |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by NL1960: 8:03pm On Feb 13, 2025 |
kingreign:Thanks. Can I drive it to my mechanic's place?. Moreover, what is the implication of constant driving?. |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by kingreign(m): 9:16pm On Feb 13, 2025 |
NL1960:I said stop driving that car immediately, shut it down or else you risk damaging that engine badly. |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by NL1960: 9:38pm On Feb 13, 2025 |
kingreign:Ok. Thanks |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by masciv: 9:49pm On Feb 13, 2025 |
NL1960:Do not even start that engine to warm up. That's if the damage has not been done already anyway. You are either low on Oil, burning oil badly, having oil pump issues, having oil leaks or your oil level sensor is acting up due to wiring issues. Start praying it's the last of the scenarios indicated. |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by NL1960: 10:24pm On Feb 13, 2025 |
masciv:How do I now fix it or take it to a mechanic if I cannot start it or if a mechanic comes and wants to take it to his workshop?. I checked the oil and it is not low. As I said earlier I can drive without the light showing if there is no traffic and the temperature gauge is below centre |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by kingreign(m): 9:36am On Feb 14, 2025 |
NL1960:Call a mechanic to cone check the car or tow the car to your mechanic garage. Also, check your oil filter |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by NL1960: 10:08am On Feb 14, 2025 |
kingreign:Thanks. The mechanic has taken it to his garage this morning as i did not drive it to work. |

Good evening bosses, Please I have this Toyota corolla 2004 and the top is making some noise like tapping. Please is it advise to change the top cylinder ?? |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by masciv: 5:53am On Feb 15, 2025 |
NL1960:How do you carry a vehicle involved in an accident for fixing? Drive it? You can drive it though. If it is anything related to the options asides the last, just know you will be spending a lot to fix it and that's if the engine does not grenade itself from oil starvation before then. It's not about having oil in the engine. Is the engine oil circulating properly and being routed to the right places? |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by masciv: 5:57am On Feb 15, 2025 |
abootoyyib:Get it to a respectable mechanic. If the tapping is due to a failed lifter(s), you will either need to change the lifters and the camshafts. Changing the whole header is not a good idea if the damage is not due to overheating or bad timing causing piston/valve contact. |

Hello Gurus in the house, please I need your help with my brothers 2011 Lexus ES350 Vehicle looses power while in motion. Car has been scanned and it showed an error relating to the throttle pedal. Throttle pedal was changed, yet issue persists. Issue: Vehicle looses power while in motion but engine is still running, just doesn't rev. Sometimes when you want to overtake, pedal doesn't respond to acceleration. While in motion, even when the gear is pushed to neutral, pressing the throttle, car doesn't rev then suddenly, it picks again Things Done: Fuel pump and filter checked and changed Throttle pedal changed Throttle body (Ejector mouth) changed Plugs and nozzles checked, all fine. What the possible cause of the issue? |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by erico2k2(m): 10:52am On Feb 21, 2025 |
kelvinmnet:you are dealing with road side mechanics What need to be done is simple, Buy a new throttle body not used one, then they need a Dealer level tool to reprogram the throttle body actuator to learning mood, No matter what anyone does without the re programming of the throttle body, it wont work, At least the scan tool told you guys what the problem is. Also if the throttle pedal you fited was a working one, you need to follow a procedure to re learn it.I know the process for my range rover not Toyota, but Im sure you can look it up on line. its about putting on the ignition and depressing the pedal all the way to the floor, or ignition break and trottle pedal all the way to the floor for 10 to 20 mins, |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by erico2k2(m): 10:53am On Feb 21, 2025 |
boysn:SO let me ask you a direct question Will you convert your 2024 Range rover or lexus or BMW or Merc to CNG? |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by erico2k2(m): 10:54am On Feb 21, 2025 |
abootoyyib:thats a mechanical issue, you need an up to date mechanic to examine it |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by erico2k2(m): 10:56am On Feb 21, 2025 |
NL1960:You mean to tell us you do not know what that sign means? Really? and you have a driving licence ![]() This situation is like being a banker and do not know what a calculator is |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by erico2k2(m): 10:59am On Feb 21, 2025 |
lordpopular:you took it to a road side mechanic who does not 1 have the tool to re program the gear box as I suspect he performed a gear box flush which now means your car gear will function in an erratic way 2,Wrong cheap fluid. 3 wrong sequence in performing the fluid change and learning process. |

| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by NL1960: 11:19am On Feb 21, 2025 |
erico2k2:Leave that one. How many people go to driving school?. You can even get a driver's license without going to a driving school. |
| Re: Car Talk Chat Room by erico2k2(m): 11:50am On Feb 21, 2025 |
NL1960:This has nothing to do with satisfying the Authority rather to save your pocket, How on earth can someone be driving and they do not know the Engine Oil symbol? just How ? and that Symbol is the worse one to ever show up in motion it is usually accompanied by catastrophic Engine failure. |
