Its possible the compressor clutch is damaged or the entire compressor is gone .
I would recommended you have it checked , because it can lead to more damage, and if it gets completely locked up, your drive belt/serpentine belt (AKA fan belt), could snap and leave you stranded. You really need to address it urgently. I might be wrong, but its still worth checking it out.

Thanks alot. I am on it.

This is what we normally use once the follow come got damaged, because putting back the automatic compressor has no guarantee... Your technician is right

dont chnage to anything there, replace or fix

fitting a Peugeot compressor is a stress free and low cost alternative, it doesn't make it a proper repair. Not being able to test an automatic compressor on ground is what you refer to as no guarantee and is the reason most of you ac technicians use Peugeot compressor. Why not replace it with toyota manual compressor that requires no adjustment on the bolt holes and no cutting and welding of connectors to reroute hoses and pipes?

Between mypartsng and autofactorng...which sells more genuine products? I saw an NGK plug for my Acura TSX for 21,800 on mypartsng, and saw a similar one for 3k on autofactorng, both plugs are good?

Good evening great Engineers. Please which product of Shock Absorbers is recommended at the moment. I normally use the KYB but the current price for me RAV4 is very high, please i need another reliable brand

Dear house,
Please my 2010 Toyota Corolla interior needs a facelift especially the fabric seats. What major overhaul do you suggest please?
The driver seat especially seems to have dipped, what can I do about it?
Can I change them entirely and where can this be done?

One would need to see current condition of the seat but if it's just dirts you can opt for detailed cleaning of the vehicle's interior and if the seats are worn out badly you can always get a replacement. You can reach out for either

Good evening, everyone.

My Hyundai Elantra Touring suddenly started acting strangely. Sometimes, when I put it in Drive, the car moves but suddenly slows down, even when I press the accelerator pedal, before picking up speed again.

The problem has since gotten worse. Now, when I put the car in Drive, the gear fails to engage properly, and the car only struggles and jerks.

I called a mechanic to inspect it, and he suggested that a filter might be blocking the flow of transmission fluid. We also noticed that whenever the engine cools down and I start the car, it moves normally for a few minutes before gradually slowing down and eventually stopping.

I am confused and worried about what might be wrong. I don’t know whether the problem can be fixed by servicing or repairing the transmission or if the entire gearbox will have to be replaced. I would appreciate any advice or suggestions from anyone who has experienced something similar.

Scan the vehicle for codes
- check transmission fluid level I'm pretty familiar with that car and I know it has a transmission dipstick
- confirm transmission fluid color after checking

Yes it has. The transmission fluid level was at the bottom point of the dipstick. I would have loved to take a picture. The color was brownish and blackish. Since you are familiar with the car model, I would appreciate if you can avail to me the pros and cons of the car.

Please how do I go about resolving this? My car jerks when it's changing gear. I also noticed that lately it stutter most times when the temperature is high... It's also slow to respond to acceleration pedal.

Do you have a good technician to work on it?
Replace knock sensor

Pls state:
1. Make and model of your car
2. Year of manufacture
3. Current odometer or mileage reading
.....before making your complaint.

OJURONGBE1:
I need advice on my 2007 Toyota Camry 2.4L VVT-i (4-cylinder). 257,000 mileage.

I bought the car in Cotonou for 8.7m in March. After replacing the knock sensor and servicing it with Mobil 1 5W-30 synthetic oil (advanced synthetic) for high mileage cars. Shortly after, I started hearing a cold-start noise that disappears after a 10 minutes.
I spoke to two mechanic and they suggested that it might be water pump, so we bought a new one but issue still persist, we scanned it and Scanning showed P0012 and oxygen sensor (bank 1&2) low voltage codes, and the check engine light stays on.
I replaced the VVT-i oil control solenoid (Denso), oxygen sensor(s), and camshaft sprocket with brand-new parts, but the same codes remain. My mechanic has confirmed the timing chain, tensioner, and catalytic converter are all okay.

The car also consumes fuel a lot for a 4plugs engine and jerks when o press the brake especially at traffic lights. I've spent over 400k on brand new parts with no solution and have barely driven the car for 3months.

Could this be an electrical or wiring issue? I park near a refuse bin where rats are common, so I'm wondering if they may have damaged the wiring. Any advice on what to check next before.
I have scanned the car (4x) and the same code P0012 and 02 sensors persist.
I am frustrated because a friend who bought the same car (although V6 engine with 205,000 mileage) from USA in April has only changed engine oil and has no complain at all.

Did you buy the o2 sensor using the parts number or at least vin number of the car?
