Please between a toyota highlander 012 and 2013 camry which would you advice a 1st time car owner to buy...

Note that my area (the road) is very rough/bad thats why I am considering the highlander....

But I believe it may be expensive to maintain...e.g fuelling...

Pls,

I recently bought a 2006 Honda Civic, and one of the first things I noticed is that the fan is connected directly. My scan result also shows two codes — P2413 and P2185. I usually scan my car and tell my mechanic what to fix based on the codes generated, and that approach has been working for me.

Now, he agrees with me on the first code, which relates to the EGR, but he doesn’t want to return the fan to its factory setting. I’d rather have that done elsewhere.

I need a good mechanic around the Ogba/Abule Egba axis who can sort this out for me. I don’t want to argue with this Azeem. I understand gassuz doesn’t like working on this car.

The fuel consumption is high. I used 17 litres of fuel from challenge ibadan to abule Egba, and my calculation is around 17mpg. Around 75 miles journey 90% highway.

You see that vibration, it's likely the torque converter.

That model of Camry has a factory defect that's called torque converter shudder.

And the only way to solve it is to change your torque converter. Or just continue to manage it like that. Or sell it and buy the V6 as the V6 doesn't have that defect.

Na why I no buy the car be that. I really loved the shape of the car, but I researched extensively. And saw it had that factory problem and ran away from the car. Now I'm enjoying my 2013 Corolla.

As for the other codes, you may need to clear the codes, drive around and scan again.

You can also use carb cleaner to clean your throttle body.

When my former car, a 2007 corolla was throwing up that same throttle code, cleaning the throttle body solved it. So it may work for you.

The other code there is for catalyst. And absence of catalyst shouldn't really make your car stall.

Bross I disagree with you on wobble bit
if the converter was a problem it will vibrate at all speed even revers would vibrate low or high. The vibration of a car at certain speed is called a death wobble you can google this .If I am right the OP will notice it stabilize once the speed exceed mayB 60.

Hello my engineers.

I have been hearing torque converter here and there. My question is. When it’s bad, is it repairable or changeable?

If so, how expensive can it be and does the gear box needs to be removed too?

Thank you

Start with the easy fix first.

Replace oil and filter.

Are you in lagos?

I might recommend someone to you if so.

Good morning all..pls i notice a jerk back on rx350 2010 when on 1500rmp..the car does not have any code on gear and engine pls what could be the problem..thanks and i await your reaponse

9icegee:
Does anyone here do VIN checks?

oluwaseunla:
If the jerk is not during a transmission change, you should probably run a fuel pressure test since you don't have any code on the car.

Felakezman:
Changed the pump already..brand new complete shaft..TCM upgraded still does that pressure gauge 55
