aryzgreat: Your coolant problem is more than a thermostat issue. |
Re: Exhaust Repair Work Flex Pipe Replacement by aryzgreat: 9:01pm On Oct 28, 2021 |
GAZZUZZ: What else could be wrong, there is no leakage or fluid shortage in the radiator

aryzgreat: Change the front O2 sensor.. I also got that open loop due to insufficient engine temp.. although mine also brought out an error code for air/fuel ratio sensor So I changed the O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 1.. and that fixed it.. 1 Like |

aryzgreat: I have a similar story too... mine has 2 radiators and the vehicle is without a thermostat. I took it to a mech to install a thermostat for me but was told to leave it because of the Nigeria weather (in my own case, the engine temperature runs cooler and hardly reaches the middle mark)... I dont know if I should continue using it that way or not. How safe and true is this? 3 Likes |

samintegrity: But no O2 sensor code is thrown up on scanning. From Google search I think the P0125 is pointing at faulty Engine coolant temperature sensor a. K. a "cold start switch" Don't want to be throwing parts around. Wanna be sure 1 Like |
Re: Exhaust Repair Work Flex Pipe Replacement by Samafroxy22(m): 10:19pm On Oct 28, 2021 |
aryzgreat: Work on installing the thermostat first, then check to see if the P0125 code pops up after that... |

Samafroxy22: It's not ideal for the engine. You can imagine my temp gauge on a cold rainy day being on the cold zone day in day out. The fuel consumption too is another headache. The issue is getting a qualified mechanic to fix it. Oga GAZZUZZ is in far Lagos. |
Re: Exhaust Repair Work Flex Pipe Replacement by aryzgreat: 10:23pm On Oct 28, 2021 |
Samafroxy22: According to them, no code came up after installing the thermostat but, the temperature gauge was rising far beyond d middle mark while idling. So they have to stop the testing and removed it. |
Re: Exhaust Repair Work Flex Pipe Replacement by Samafroxy22(m): 10:29pm On Oct 28, 2021 |
aryzgreat: Do you mean it consumes more fuel when the engine is too cold? |
Re: Exhaust Repair Work Flex Pipe Replacement by aryzgreat: 10:36pm On Oct 28, 2021 |
Samafroxy22: Yea, the engine coolant temp sensor keeps sending signal to the ECU that the engine is not yet operating at normal temp, the ECU keeps sending signal to pump more fuel to achieve that purpose. The temp gauge is supposed to be at the middle gauge for normal operating engine temp 3 Likes |

GAZZUZZ: Bro .. I finally discovered the connector o . It was lying in front of the compressor all this while.. I was looking for it same place my previous 03 Camry downstream sensor connector was, it appears this model is different. Thanks again bro

Re: Exhaust Repair Work Flex Pipe Replacement by RRWraith(m): 10:53am On Oct 30, 2021 |
GAZZUZZ:Good morning chairman, please I need your help with a 2006 toyota Corolla, it keeps overheating. I have taken it to different mechanics in benin, non seems to be able to fix it. The overheating recently burnt the gasket and water started pumping out from the exhaust. Gave it to a mechanic, fixed the gasket and he tried to fix the overheating problem still, it keeps coming up. The engine gets so hot I feel it inside the car in the driver seat and front passenger seat. It's so hot around the gear stick area and between the two front seats. Please what might be the problem? |

aryzgreat: Thanks for the helpful response boss. I have had this overlooked since i got the vehicle, and I have also been experiencing drastic fuel consumption... I installed the thermostat yesterday and the fuel mileage has improved � � 2 Likes 1 Share

Samafroxy22: Congratulations. Where did you fix yours? |
Re: Exhaust Repair Work Flex Pipe Replacement by samintegrity(m): 8:08pm On Nov 01, 2021 |
GAZZUZZ: Bro any update? Pls, I want to ask, my car gasket has been changed by previous owner, possibly cos of overheating.. I asked the cause thou, he said he didn't noticed on that is fan weren't working hence the reason for the blown gasket.. Now my question is this, can I still get the fan return back to factory settings?? If yes, won't it have any effects on the new gasket? Cos I had my mech looked at it sometimes ago and he simply inspected the gasket and concluded that NO. I had to run on a single fan in other to avoid PO128 and maintain car temperature gauge staying in the middle... |

aryzgreat:Thanks man, where did you scan your car and how much did it cost. GAZZUZZ help your boy |

samintegrity: If the head cylinder was taken to a machine shop and properly skimmed you have no issues. If not you might see milkyway with a touch of misfires after a few days. |

Re: Exhaust Repair Work Flex Pipe Replacement by 9icetoo(m): 7:46am On Nov 02, 2021 |
RRWraith:Check and make sure your catalytic converter is not blocked. Sometimes, this causes the symptoms you are describing. Also make sure your fans are pulling air into the engine and not blowing air out of the engine bay. |
Re: Exhaust Repair Work Flex Pipe Replacement by samintegrity(m): 8:48am On Nov 02, 2021 |
GAZZUZZ: Ok bro Thanks.. As regard the downstream O2 sensor, just as I updated some days ago, the socket I saw was and is it's connector... I just removed the cut out plug now.. If you look at the picture I uploaded earlier, you'd discover that its own downstream O2 sensor is located right below the front catalyst converter, almost an inch away.. Thanks bro.

samintegrity: when I get same vehicle type, I will show you where to find the connector. But in the mean time, who can know, your design might be different |
Re: Exhaust Repair Work Flex Pipe Replacement by samintegrity(m): 9:38am On Nov 02, 2021 |
GAZZUZZ: � Even me sef tire.. I saw similar design also on YouTube See link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_qAuf7VgtQ |

I just changed my radiator today and I have sworn that I will never buy from dealer again. Na iaai be my next target. What remai ns now is to check if my engine has thermostat and if my groundnut has not been removed. Cos my engine na 3.0 and if I buy fuel of 3k,my tank is 6k full. If I buy fuel of 3k,na just for that day. Me sef do taya. But I have changed it to factory radiator,it remains for the to disconnect the direct fan cos mine na double cell. But on jepo. I no fit afford am. I have done every,even sef I bought better gas mileage liquid. No diff. My former Honda was giving me 14mpg,but this one if I dey city na 5 to 10mpg. Highway 15. Me don taya. I shall never buy accidented car again,esp if na front impact. 1 Like |
