Bros,

Do you have rear absorber for 02 Highlander 4WD and how much? Budget price I beg

Regards

No budget on shocks o. All the fake shocks sold in Nigeria have destroyed expectations about the price of shocks.

Number of quarts needed for a Toyota Corolla 2005?

It's not for this car. A select few 2018 and up Toyotas and Hondas. It's not backwards compatible with older cars.

Hmmm

11.2202 kilometers per litre
8.9125 litres per 100 kilometers
0.0891 litres per kilometer

This is not impressive. The engine must have ran all through the journey with average speed of 120kmph. I think this hybrid car will not be able boost the car to an average speed of 100kmph without the engine kicking in. In every EV car, the faster you go the more battery energy is consumed.

My opinion: A hybrid car is not the best car for an interstate journey. A hybrid car is best suited for city driving when you hit the traffic to get more value for your money.

Correct. Hybrids are built for stop and go traffic not road trips. That being said, this is still low for a Camry hybrid. It's rated at 34mpg mixed driving. Poor fuel will lose you about 3-5mpg. It should be giving about 30mpg factoring fuel and lead foot. There is an inefficiency somewhere in the system but not too bad at 26mpg.

Car Talk › Re: Opinions Needed About Car Tracking by radautoworks: 2:10am On Jul 20, 2019*

Depends. Did you pay for tracking SERVICE or DEVICE?

If you paid for the service, they can disable your car FROM THE DAY YOUR SERVICE EXPIRES (which according to you it had). If you only got service, it's as simple as going back for them to retrieve their tracker (which I suspect it's the motivation for the kill switch). From the nairalander post, it looks like you only paid for service?

If you paid for the TRACKER, then NO and you can definitely get your pound of flesh if you have the energy. That being said, I don't think they are disabling your car. I suspect part of your service is them monitoring the car status and probably giving an "all clear" every day. Since you no longer have them doing that, you have to manually give the all clear yourself each day or the car locks out. The fact that they gave you an unlock code that's working seems to support this. I would call and ask how to manage it yourself manually if the tracker really is your equipment. Pop

Honestly, I would resubscribe because the product obviously works grin

. I don't think they are being malicious. I think you are dealing with an algorithm doing exactly what it was programmed to do.

I just got a Toyota corolla 2007 model last year. Initially i used conventional Mobil oil (the one sold for 5K). I later switched to Mobil synthetic this year and have not serviced my car in 6 months. The car is jerking a bit and i got our company driver to check, he says i may have to change the plugs and service the car... Some of my friends says Synthetic oil is not necessary for Older, high mileage cars... my car is about 135k.... what do you think please ?

Since it's a little high mileage and is stalling, I would go synthetic but it's not necessary. Regular 3 month or 3,000 mile conventional oil changes is fine but synthetic will be better but not compulsory.

If you haven't done your 120k mile complete tune-up, do it along with a synthetic change then revert.

I've included some things supposed to have been done already.

Thank you bro.

How do i know if its american or not. The vw site will only show u car info from 2011 upwards.
The car has been parked for sometime and most of the visible fluid containers are pactically empty. Which I why I believe that if I use the right fluids for all fiuld-related areas of the car, I will have reduced or eliminated the possible issues and signs on the dashboard.

Again, I need to know if its American? Can you help? Its a 2006 passat FSI 2.0t engine. 91k milage. Engine is still perfect.

What's the VIN?
