I have a lexus Rx350 2008 model. I noticed a persistent check engine light, flashing VSC and Trac light on my dashboard about 3 days ago . It took the car for a scanning and P0017 (Crankshaft position, Correlation (bank 1 sensor B) was shown. Recent technical history : About 6 weeks ago, I contracted a driver to bring the car from Ibadan to Abuja. Unfortunately, the driver burnt my top cylinder gasket midway into the journey. He blamed it on faulty fan belt and water pump. I got a mechanic to fix it, though I wasn't there. The mechanic suggested the radiator is changed to double cell and the thermostat removed. These were done and the burnt gasket was replaced. The car was managed to get to Abuja, though drove by another driver, despite the ordeal. When collected my car back, I noticed check engine light, Vsc and trac light were on. I scanned it with these codes p0116, p0128 shown. It was after I got and fixed another new thermostat and returned the electrical connection back to the factory setting that the P0017 started showing up. Presently, the no sign of idleness and it starts promptly. Would you advice I take the for the time chain refitting or continue to drive it that way? NB: I used to service the car with a full synthetic Mobil 1 5W20 until 6 weeks ago when Mobil 20W50 was used I would appreciate your prompt professional counsel.. |

My Corolla 05 makes a knocking sound when I put on the ignition with the engine oil light on. It goes off when throttle down and sound normal. Also, the engine oil light blinks when car is idle or while braking mostly when the engine is warm and must have work for several minutes or hour. I have just charged the oil pump thinking that was the culprit but the problem still persist. What could have gone wrong pls expert in the house? |
Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by Chuwaa2: 10:08am On May 03, 2021 |
kala111: Check the oil sensor. If it's faulty, it won't tell the oil pump when to pump fuel, leading to the oil light blinking intermittently. It's also possible, you have sludge on the engine, blocking the sensor from doing its work. My 2cents |

Good evening House, I noticed that my coolant was gradually going down and I topped it twice, then today it started overheating and when I stopped, there was small coolant in the reservoir and practically none in the radiator. Before now, I have checked for leaks or evap and noticed none. After the incident today, with water in the reservoir and the radiator, the temperature kept rising and I had to keep stopping for it to cool down. The temperature also rises with speed. What could be the problem, water pump? Leaking hose, heat not escaping from the engine? Please what can be the issue and where can I fix it in a pocket friendly way at the island |

Good day. Please I need help. I drive a Toyota Sienna 2006 model. Late December I drove through a very bad road which bashed the sump and thus flattened the gear filter. I wasn't aware until later in the day when my gear stopped switching gears and the car refused to move. I called my mechanic and he fixed the issue then. He straightened the sump, replaced the gear filter and oil. The car started moving but not without some underlying developments. 1. It would suddenly jerk switching gears ( especially in traffic but move smoothly on any free road or express). 2. It wasn't switching to reverse immediately and I have to go to park turn off and on the ignition before I can go into reverse gear. The mechanic assured me that it the gears would go back to normal after a while. I've been using the car without any serious ish apart from the 2 mentioned above until Just about 2-3 weeks ago when the gears would take so long to switch. I was practically crawling on the road then after a while it will pick up and the car would go smoothly until I get to a go slow and I've to slow down, then the process starts all over again. Surprisingly, the car started reversing gears. My mechanic was not around so I called in another recommended by a friend. He changed the gear filter and oil again ( my car uses a T-IV). Though when he drained the previous oil the oil was very black. We tested the car that day and it was a smooth drive as if nothing never went wrong with the gears..only for me to take the car out the next day and I the gear was back to not shifting immediately and I started crawling again. I called the mechanic to lay the complaint and he said I had to buy a new gear. Please what's the way forward for me cos the costing I've been given for the gear replacement is bank breaking for me. I don't have that type of money. N.B. all the work done on the gear was when the gear was left to cool ( actually overnight and both mechanics worked on it the following morning) Here's also the pic of the oil that was drained |
