First car syndrome

After I spent almost 350k fixing every problem that doesn't affect performance on a 2007 camry se back then. Kazeem's build aso rock ontop my head
Nobody tell me before I reset myself to factory settings.

Melting dashboard,I didn't want leather on top,I had to order for a fresh new one from ladipo N150k.

Small noise from front left suspension,apo kazeem made me change all 4 shocks and linkage and some bushing,the kazeem installed a 2004 camry shocks for my 07 camry se and kept all my follow come shocks which he sold to a customer after.

After shocks where installed,car come get k-leg for all 4 tyres I did wheel balancing tire to solve that issue,yet no solution.

Small engine vibration,all mounts changed because I want car to dey idle like mew lol.

Ac cooling no reach me,I changed compressor

Now I no get time for ebamisofun,if e no affect performance,biko I no get money to waste

Hello gurus.
My corrolla 2005 temperature rises above the half mark when driving on Ac on a long drive, I was advised on this forum to replace the radiator if it has been running on water for more than 2years. So my question is should I buy a double cell rediator or single cell? Can I now use coolant in the new radiator instead of water? I need answers so I can budget appropriately.
Thanks

So spending money to fix a car with both cats blocked , that is experiencing some hesitation to accelerate is now spending money on problems which do not affect performance?

I am the one who scanned that car, that car in its state when I scanned it was hesitating to accelerate. Exhaust has rattling sounds which indicates catalytic converter broken and blocking the exhaust system.

I am not gonna talk about the camshaft sensor bank 2 malfunction.

I know what I observed when I diagnosed that car.

He said the catalyst require replacement for smooth sound, healthy engine and low fuel consumption. Camry 2005.

The fuel consumption is not a big deal for me, cause I drove 4cyl before and my current fuel consumption with the v6 is almost the same, I can't even tell the diff.

Vehicle mileage? (True mileage) 333,396

Are your fans running direct? No

Is your thermostat removed No

Is your catalytic converter missing? The one under the car is missing

History of emission sys repairs ? Non since I got the car.

GAZZUZZ:
It's not just about installing thermostat back, ensure the system can fold the envisaged pressure build up when you do that if not, you wi have an undriveable car.

Una matter tire me for this thread.


No lie, though. Unless it's something that affects drivability and ease of life, there's no point fixing it immediately.
