Good day all, keep up the good work. I just got a Toyota Camry 2008 model some months back, and today while I drove out I saw the "check engine" sign on my dash board. Luckily a friend of mine has an OBD scanner and when we scanned my car it gave out the attached error codes. Pleas what does it mean and how do I go about to rectify it (what should I tell the mechanic. Cc. GAZZUZZ. Nurey

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by kaz4sure2015: 6:50pm On Aug 02, 2019 |
patomaniac: For the first error code, catalyst replacement is the solution and for the rest codes, you need to change all the plugs and coils 2 Likes |

fizcoo20: Toks... I will prefer a 03 to 06 model Cos they come with a 3.0 liter engine and 5 speed transmission. Rule 1: use a certified mechanic if u ever have engine trouble. In Ikorodu here I use the mechs that work only on Mazda vehicles although I have never done an engine work 2: for long distance journeys never over load your MPV. Carry the recommended kg. Mpv can perform all those stunt like sienna when it comes to load however in terms of speed please be careful o.. e dey fly o However if this is your first car, I will advice you go for Toyota picnic it can withstand all manner of abuse. For me it just boring especially interior wise that's all... |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by fizcoo20(m): 9:53am On Aug 04, 2019 |
eRex: Yes u are ryt, it's boring. I don't like d shape of d motor, not spacious as MPV. I Don choose MPV. I heard MPV automatic transmission usually develop fault. Thanks for your advice. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by eRex(m): 11:24am On Aug 04, 2019 |

eRex:So which one do you advise to get BTW auto and manual transmission. Thanks in anticipation. I heard 2001 dey rugged. His Dat true. Also am running for V6 engine coz I heard it consume fuel a lot. Kindly help me put more light to it. Thanks |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by eRex(m): 12:57pm On Aug 04, 2019 |
fizcoo20: 3 types: 2.0L 4plugs engine with 5speed manual gear.( Mostly used by transporters. Some Mazda cars uses same engine too.) Engine is rugged no doubt but I don't know if it the way the commercial guys use it... Once the engine overheats .... It's a go. 2.5L V6 engine with 4 speed auto gear.: Never used it and my simple reason is this..... (All the time I visit my MPV mechanic in Ikorodu I also see a lot of that model in their work shop.. I hardly see the 3.0l under same condition 3.0L V6 engine with 5 speed auto gear. (This is the only model I have used).. engine gear have always been fantastic for me.. I have used 4 of this models. Although I got mine 9ja used.. the most reason why I sell is if I get a very good offer on it.... Funnily.... I just saw one of my mpv buyer today that bought this. https://www.nairaland.com/3332741/mazda-mpvs-03models-sale-sold. Fuel consumption... Me I don't think it's is so bad ... Although the V6 will definitely consume more than the 4plug.... I don't think it bad at all... If you travel long distances you should do V6... |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by fizcoo20(m): 7:49pm On Aug 04, 2019 |
eRex:Thanks for the info. You mean u bought naija used and last long. What's ur advise on naija used. D V6, 12k or 13k go full d fuel tank. Ryt |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by eRex(m): 8:11pm On Aug 04, 2019 |
fizcoo20:Av never had my tank below 1/4 but from estimate about 10k should fill up for empty.. Please be careful though. All the Naija used I bought were from first users. The one that even served the longest 05 model ... I bought for 450k https://www.nairaland.com/4069471/mpv-05-asking-800k-sold Body was gone but the engine and gear was top notch. Did full Body work Fix AC and changed all tires. This car frequent Benin .... After I sold it buyer came from Mali bought and took it to Enugu next day.... Came back to Lagos after a month asked me to help resell as he needed cash to travel back ... I resold it again and next buyer travel with it again to Onitsha... Me ooo... I don't know about others but I'm an MPV fan. Am currently hunting for one to buy even though available not gotten enough cash... I'm banking on those who do like MPV or Have downgraded cos of what pple have said... Pleased if your engine and gear is solid with no arm issues or beam issue... I go sell my car buy am. 2 Likes |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by kingbusy: 11:08pm On Aug 04, 2019 |
Please I have an issue with my car. I am a learner , while driving I discovered that the steering and the brake will just suddenly become stiff if I try to press the brake it will be very hard to press not until I put off the engine and restart before it becomes normal. Can anyone educate me on what is happening with my car ? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by nurey(m): 1:45pm On Aug 05, 2019 |
kingbusy: simple car shuts down on motion. find out the cause of intermittent switching off, also dangerous as you are a novice who can't quickly notice car shutting down on motion. |
