Thank u ma. I do not think it suddenly got low it still has some fluid on the LOW mark. I've driven it for 5 years and never changed nor refilled.

Can any of those power steering fluid they sell at filling stations be good or any special fluid?
just use the proper fluid to avoid tears

Good afternoon Radautoworks

Please, my ac is blowing hot through the driver's side and cold on the passenger's side.

I read online that it's the blender door actuator arm that's responsible for this; also read that a DIY fix is possible.

Please advise.

Car is 2008 Toyota Highlander.

Thank you
Blender door actuator is stuck open. You need to take dash board apart to fix problem.

I have been able to book an appointment in the morning. But I am yet to get confirmation and I am a bit skeptical if I should proceed tomorrow to your office or wait?

Good Morning Ma'am,

Thinking about doing a thorough check on my car. This is my first time booking an appointment with your guys as i just got to know about them. Hopefully, they get to sort my car out.

I'm currently trying to booking an appointment with your team to help do some checks on my Honda Accord. I currently have my D drive sign blinking. I understand this has to do with my transmission so I am hoping to do a scan to know the exact problem and from there switch to the recommended DW1.

But the part where I am to fill in my number keep saying the number that I entered is invalid.

The format that I am using is => +234-000-000-0000

Please, how do I resolve this to successfully make a booking?
First, thank you smiley. Second, drop the international format and the zero on the front.

Hello ma and happy new year to you. Please my Toyota avalon 2003 model power steering fluid is very low. Still the foreign used fluid it came with. Do u advise I top it or drain and refill. What type of fluid should that be? Car has over 200,000 miles. I do not reside in Lagos.

Tnx ma.
I would just drain and refill but question.. did it just suddenly get low or you don't know?

No hidden charges, the charges are based on weight (packaging usually plays a key role here, so it’s best to consolidate your items, I assume they are more than one). Why not try GIG Logistics? My sister used them a fortnight ago, she’s yet to receive the items so can’t give a review for now. Give them a try, after all what could possibly go wrong? grin
A LOT. A LOT CAN GO WRONG. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT A YEAR. NEVER AGAIN.

Happy New Year Eddee smiley

I'm not disputing the obvious FACT about Toyota being ahead of ford in car sales in the US.

But i think ford sells more than honda, they are more American traditional product, so they tend to win more nationalistic sales.
still no

Ironically,americans use this car,even more than Honda accord.

Its even super reliable to them,that most US cities police Department use more ford in their fleet than any other car brand.

Most things that work well in other climes,mostly fail here.
false. The police departments each independently choose their brand and a lot used to use it because

1) buy american since they are a state organization
2) huge motors with tons of hp and torque for chases
3) they do not keep them long and auction them after a few years before they start giving trouble
4) dodge has been winning most of the recent contracts because they meet 1-3 and came in cheaper.
5) government used to give them incentives which no longer exist to buy Ford

Also, Ford does NOT outsell toyota and honda in the US

Hi ma'am. So I did my first scan and it returned with these malfunction codes on car. It's a toyota sienna, first gen without VVT-i:

P0300 - Random/multiple misfire
P0301 - Cylinder 1 misfire
P0303 - Cylinder 3 misfire
P0773 - Shift solenoid E electrical
P1780 - Park/neutral position switch fault

Seems a lot. But I'm trying to see if I can get these issues addressed myself, so I've been seeing a lot of YouTube videos.

Resolving cylinder misfires, I'm banking on changing the spark plugs as the proper resolution. I get this continuous popping sound coming from engine when car runs, making it sound like one of those old diesel plants cheesy. Then there is poor acceleration and power for the car. Though the position of these plugs are hideous, but I'm looking to see if I can get them out without having to take off the intake manifold and all those gizmos.

For P1780, I'm not really sure, but I only get it's symptom when shifting to reverse from N or P but not always. I would appreciate pointers here.

I'm more concerned about the shift solenoid E electrical fault. Transmission slips, so I'm careful about changing the fluid. Though it still has that golden brown colour, so this may not be the case of dirty fluid. My problem now is locating the shift solenoid E for this car. It's supposed to be behind the park/neutral position switch, at least from a youtube video I saw with a Camry (couldn't find any for first gen sienna), but it's not there. Could it be inside the transmission itself?

Sorry for the long post. I wanna become a mechanic cheesy.
You need to clean the fuel tank and filter on the fuel pump along with changing the plugs , as for the transmission it's electrical issues the shift selenoid E should be on the valve body. DM me for further help if necessary. I'm being stingy with the "gurus"

The car was developing too much faults...

Within the space of 3weeks we change;
Battery, 4-tires, radiator, refill AC gas, AC filter, 2 shaft (left and right legs, driver side dislocated in front of farmcity, Lekki ard 9:30pm), among others.

Time spwnt at the mechanic was more than time spend online working.
seems this car was never road ready to begin with. Once made ready it shouldn't be a problem. Lack of maintenance

Seniors ,pls advise me on this case.

Rider A.
I picked a rider up and dropped the rider at his location, BTW. the rider had two female companions with him, they moved into a suite/ apartment

I got another short ride n he paid n I left too.

I got a third ride, on my way to complete the third trip, I got a call( that's like after an hour of dropping the first rider) from the first rider that he forgot an item in the car.

I'm sure he didn't forget any item. I told him so. Because I checked the car when I got to the destination.

Later another line called me n started threatening me about having my phone number n number plate. That I should make myself available. I told him angrily that I don't have anything to do with him.

I have reported the ride on the Bolt.app.

If the no. Calls tomorrow, I asked some people n they said I shouldn't pick such nos again. But I was countering them that, if I don't pick, won't it mean I'm avoiding them.

Seniors, pls advise.
was this outside of the one hour they have to claim lost items? If so, sounds like a "him" problem to me

Cheaper than brand new European, Japanese and Korean cars, low fuel consumption, durable and relatively cheaper spare parts for its same year counterparts.
But not sure of the second hand value
Suzuki's are okay

A little observation..

If He/She transferred with the bank app, you can go once it's successful and He/She got debited.

But if it's USSD code transfer, please wait till you get an alert or confirm that the money have reflected in your account.

80% of failed/reversed transactions were done using USSD code. I've strictly observed this. And I've never seen a successful App transfer reversed yet.
false. I've done many app transactions that reversed later irritating me.
