I want to buy my first car and I'm curious angry angry

Does Toyota Camry 2001 XLE version have any disadvantage over LE and CE? Or is it all advantages and no disadvantage?? The XLE is 4 plug.

Your response will be helpful


The XLE version has leather on the seats and door mouth with moon roof for Canada or US spec. It also comes with an alloy rim which differentiates it from CE that is normal wheel without the above mentioned features.

There’s no disadvantage among them.

The major issue with the car is timing belt. If you buy the one that is still having follow come timing belt it will last longer. Anytime it cuts kindly go for tokunbo belt which is very expensive and reliable rather than the new ones that can slake and cut within 2 months of usage.

Most user have spare timing belt on the boot.

In case your money reach Corolla 2004, I advise you go for it than Camry 2001.

Ignore that troll.
Scan the car and post codes. I'm looking at a vacuum leak, a throttle body malfunction or an ECM issue.

I wonder o. We are here to help each other and provide technical support for car issues.

Giving such an advice on a car you have not seen or even know the condition is unfair.

I hope the owner will provide the details you need for proper guidance.

Gurus in the house. Help me choose between these two please. I discovered Bovas is cheaper than Total and both are of the same grade.

Mobil and Total remains the best oil. Don’t endanger your engine in this harsh economy. You can’t compare the both because Mobil is far better than the other oil so use Mobil without minding the cost. Engine is expensive now.

The rings will become weak with time, resulting to smoke and oil shortage. You can’t compare both oil treatment. Generally low quality oil harm the engine but using a good product will make the engine to last long.

Honda accord or babyboy
Altermatic,Pls my honday baby boy is having this issure of, break and quench especially when u remove ur leg from pedal,this happens hence, u have load the gear ,the engine gradually goes off, if only u did nt hold the pedal,bt if u hold the d pedal the car il be moving, sometime the accellaration niddle will goes down to zero, den engine stop
These following messures has been taken,changing of plugs,fuel pump,changing /granding of 2 &3 valve from the top, all these culd nt stop the problems,these whole thing started from the very first day I remove the catalyst, can that be d cause?

This sounds just like a clogged idle air control (IAC) valve on the throttle body? If you have not tried cleaning or replacing it, then you really have clowns working on your car like kingreign mentioned.

This comment makes obvious why you couldn't fix your car. Dumb car users will always attract dumb mechanics. I'm not surprised. But please everyone is not as dumb as you.

My Peugeot 406 is consuming lots of Fuel. I spend about 16k or 18k every three days on fuel for a distance that is not up to 1km - just city drive work and school runs only. I used to use 10 - 12L for one week, but now it's about 20L every three to four days. What could be the issue? The last time I scanned it (three weeks ago), I was told and shown that there were no permanent error codes and the temporary ones wiped immediately they were cleared. But, this high fuel consumption continued. My catalyst is also intact.
Please, help a brother!

Removing catalyst from the car, is it capable of causing the TPS censor to mishehave,? Because these no whole thing started when I had an issure with my catalyst, which the condition demands that it must be removed
NO.
Your problem is somewhere else.

I bought a Nigerian used Camry 2000 (2.2) yesterday but this morning I noticed some oil on the ground where I packed it. The car drives fine with the AC on and chilling while test driving it yesterday. A mechanic also confirmed.

Please what could be the problem

Congratulations!

Your mechanic needs to replace the oil seal. So let him know the position the oil is dropping from to enable him know the particular oil seal that needs replacement. There’s one beside the timing belt that if it’s leaking it will cause your timing to slake and prom to cutting.

Thank you my brother. I later opened the bonnet I found out it's the gear oil. The pipe that takes the oil to the gear was soked with the gear oil. Please what's the possible solution to this? I'm a novice when it comes to car sad

Get your mechanic to check your spark plugs firing one after the day and replace accordingly with small pin tokunbo plugs. Also, your fuel filter may need to be flushed. Afterwards buy injector cleaner next time you want to refuel to clear carbon.

Thank you

Do you mean the pipe that supply oil to power steering pump because gear oil enters directly to the gear box. If that is the case, kindly take the car to your mechanic let them check if the pipe is broken and be sure there’s enough oil for the power steering. Another alternative is to use fuel to clean the pipe well and check if there’s oil leakage afterwards. Probably the person that top the power steering oil allowed it to spill causing the dropping.

If you have any other doubt you can reach out to me for further clarification.

Thanks.

It's obvious you guys didn't understand my question.
Running a 20W50 in any modern car is a slow poison that would eventually kill it off some day.
Asking which brand of 20W50 is more like asking what brand of poison to take.
Make una leave all this story of engine smoking and all that alone.
