My 2005 Toyota Corolla (bank type) make rattling and annoying noise anytime I apply brake while on motion, what could be the cause? Help me please car gurus in the house.

From your investigation, where do you think the noise is coming from? The engine or the legs?

GAZZUZZ:


The car get name? Model? Engine size? Or we should assume?



Let me guess, Camry 2007-2009 4cylinder

Civic 2007

Is it advisable to buy new original bearing to put inside hub than buying a tokunbo hub? Car is a 2005 corolla, the more I accelerate, the more the humming sound increases.

Good evening oga gazzuzz.
Kindly advise
My 07 corolla keeps wetting a particular spark plug and it drags when accelerated or when ac is switched on. The engine too keeps vibrating when ignition is turned on.
Mechanic says they will have to change the valves and gasket.
What do you advise please.
P.S we have changed the nozzles and it's just that one plug that keeps getting wet

Gazzuzz, Radautos and all the auto doctors, I greet you all.

I complained earlier about constant jerking of my car when accelerating and shifting gears, and a recent rough idling which has gotten really worse. Its not only when idling now, when driving, the engine can be felt vibrating like it's having a seizure. Then it calms down again.

I had to go scan it this morning. Here are the findings, please advise. Thanks.

Why is the belt of my Car making a hell of noise and sometime it doesn't do so

Sometimes it comes up when I put on the air conditioner and sometimes it is when I put on the air condition that other belt sound goes off

What can be causing that ?

The aim is steady high but safe rpms, not necessarily high speed. More of consistency.

Glad common sense came to play cheesy

Oh great, the car is noticeably quieter too. Dunno if it's the tuning or axle oil top up

Mechanic is correct

Good afternoon sir.
In furtherance to this, mechanic opened up the engine and reported that there is nothing wrong with the valves but that there is an issue with the ring. He said he can replace or work it but cannot guarantee the performance after a while because its an aluminium engine. Hence he is suggesting that I buy a new engine for a permanent solution. Diagnostic report are as attached. I am very confused.

Was this engine previously worked on? Was the car smoking?

Also, did he do a compression test because a lot of times, multiple misfire can be caused by the fuel pump on Corollas. MOST IMPORTANT, ask him what the reading of the compression test was. Those codes should not lead you straight to engine work. He should have checked compression first. Ignition secondary circuit codes are typically electrical and not an engine problem. You could replace the engine and still have those codes.
