Morning bro, is there any permanent solution on a squealing roller, I have a C350 2013 and it does squeal sometimes, noticed when I splash a little hydraulic on it, it stops immediately but I need something that’ll last longer, I’ve changed all rollers

Is your ac compressor factory? If it's not, that's where the problem is

It’s not factory, but any thing I’d do to keep it good for now, the present compressor is doing a great job

compressor is sitting at an odd angle. Noise will not stop until it sits well.

205

Please can you give me the reason for the choice of 205 as there was an argument about what spec to buy when I was at the tyre stand .

I’m interested in buying a Mercedes Benz C220 diesel. The car is Tokunbo but I’m a bit concerned about availability of parts. I like the car for performance and fuel economy. How reliable is the car? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Please i observed the my Battery Light takes time before it goes off in the Morning. Happens sometimes not all the times.

What could be wrong?

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Ofemmanutosure: 1:49pm On Jul 22, 2021

Good Afternoon oga Gazzuzz and my people here. My car (rx 350 2007 model) was broken into and the ECU stolen. I got a new one from lagos and it was sent to me in the eastern part of the country. After installing the new ECU everything worked in the car except the AC which i informed the seller. He directed me to give the car to someone at Umuahia who worked on the AC and which has been working since then but not as it used to.

MY ISSUES.
Since then the AC does not cool whenever i start the car and set the fan speed on number 1. It has to be on 2 and above before it starts cooling.
-The car stalls whenever i put on the AC.
-The steering becomes stiff whenever i put on the AC.
-I noticed the thermostat was also disconnected by guy in Umuahia.

Kindly assist with a solution as the car still drives well without the AC on and i have even changed the steering pump twice yet issues persist.

Thank you.

The Engine ECU is for a 2GR-FE engine but not for a Lexus.

Toyota 89661-08240Ecm Ecu Engine Control Module
2007-2009 Toyota Sienna 8966108240

89661-48581 is a better match

Replace the Engine ECU, and take the car back to the electrician to undo what he did

You should inspect brake caliper for stiffness,
if this is fine,
check abs unit.
