.. There is a lot of things that could cos that sir...

If you notice the vibration from the engine... You will have too inspect the engine mount (seat) sir.. or if the vibration is from the Steering. Wheel.. it might be cos buy a back brake pad or brake discs... More over.. you will need too go too an Auto Workshop for proper diagnosis of the suspension part and the engine mount sir.. and there are still alot of things that could cos vibration though

Ask Your Mechanic..
I drove enter water yesterday mistakenly because I didn't know the road was that bad .

Just some minutes drive after the water I started hearing whistling sound. Parked and check nothing.continuing driving till I reach house,I notice one cable was unplugged by the water probably under just some meters from the exhaust mouth...I plugged it back and the whistling sound continues.

I am just curious and down, I drive a bit D's morn and park to see if It will go but it persist,I am trying to see if everything will be normal again when sun is out and get dried up. I don't still get what could be the cause. I love having ideas of my car issue before calling any kazeem.pls help.

Hello Sir..

According too what you wrote .. was that you drove too a pool of water... After some minutes you start hearing the whistling sound....

Yeah..

The Sounds Must Be Or Should Be From Your Break Pads Or Disck Or Both... Sir...

The Problem..

1, You Might Have Bad Break Pads Or Bad Break Disc.. Maybe You Have the Aftermarket Product Break Pads And Disc Or Chinese Pads And Disc.. this is probably the number one results and effect when it raining... Or you drove pass a pool of water like you said..




2. Or If your brake discs needs resurfacing.. and if it needs too be resurface... You will probably need too change your break pads too...

But the thing is That when you are fixing it do not go for a cheaper break pads or disc or the Chinese one am saying the fake product... It will damage your brake discs and still make a lot of noice. When it is in raining season...

How too fix it...

Go too a mechanic workshop where they have a professional or someone you trust... Too help you get the check the suspension.. part.. the disc and the brake pads.. same thing goes too the rear wheel.. too...

Too check if your brake Disc is not affected or damaged beyond resurfacing...

Hello gurus in the house.

Please can I change my transmission fluid from Dextron to Honda DW1 without flushing the transmission?

Flushing will cost much..... Can I just drain and replace?

i would advise your drain the engine oil
for the gear oil, you need a professional to check the manufacturers recommendation. Replace as well with the original and recommended one.

Good morning sir I noticed this sign on my dashboard I was told that it is either tire pressure or washer fluid I have gauged all the tire to 45psi but still that sign is still there . There are other signs as well but once the engine is running it just left with just this one . Please I need your advice thr car is a Toyota Camry 010
The first picture is the signs when the engine is running . And the second is when I insert the key before sparking the car . Advice and recommendations.

check if the spare tire pressure tallies with rest of the tire... if all the 5 tires are perfect, ignore that tire pressure signal. It's an annoying stuff.... and if you want to clear it, there's a device on Amazon that when it stays in your car, it clears the tire pressure signal... if you don't want to pass through device route, contact Gazzuzz or Radutoworks, take the car to them to help clear the code....

For the Main ReQ signal, check YouTube to see how to reset car service reminder signal for Camry 2010.... it's a simple stuff...

For the ABS, there's a button under lexus dashboard to activate and deactivate the ABS... check YouTube to see if camry also have the button....

Reduce all air pressures to 32-35psi maximum

The tpms is 4 wheel on the Camry. One or more tpms might be dead and need programming and replacement

I drive 2007 Toyota corolla.

And my car does approximately 150 miles with 30 liters, strictly city driving, with AC always on.

But on the highway the MPG is usually so impressive.

I don't think that guy's car is guzzling too much.
