Hi guys. For suspension parts ie bushings and linkages, engine seats etc, is it best to buy new or Chinese new. OEM parts take forever to land. Car is a Toyota Camry. |

Kanshi1:Thanks. Got it sorted at the same shop with closer monitoring of what he was doing. What could cause a car to Rev very high on cold start above 2000rpm. Was always that high before my last servicing. I remember seeing the mechanic removing the air filter compactment during the servicing. Car is 09 Corolla |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by 9icetoo(m): 4:19pm On Jul 02, 2022 |
Elboki109:You have your tpms light on. Make sure your tyre pressures are all above 32 psi. Do not exceed 36 psi. Your vsc light is one. It could be related to the TPMS light or the check engine light that is on. Scan the car to know the related code. The scan will also reveal why your check engine light is on. The airbag light is on probably because you haven't belted up. Post codes here and you will enjoy the help of so many knowledgeable folks here. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Elboki109: 4:30pm On Jul 02, 2022 |
9icetoo:Thanks sir... I just scanned my car now... This is the code that popped up sir

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by jjcena(m): 5:27pm On Jul 02, 2022 |
Elboki109:You have 3 error codes on your scanner, scroll to see them all. After that use your phone to Google these codes with your car model and then see possible causes |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by adubam(m): 9:53pm On Jul 02, 2022 |
Boss I greet you all My dash board shows the below image with R. I took it to one rewire he seemed clueless about it. A man told me it was reverse light bulb and noticed the bulbs were burnt. We replaced the bulbs on both sides and it went off and the reverse light worked. I observed the dashboard this evening and the image was back and the two reverse light not working. What is destroying the reverse light bulbs at the same time because I'm thinking changing bulbs again may get burn like the previous one. Car is Toyota Camry. Thanks GazuZz

Good evening everyone I am newbie here and I came here because I am facing some issues My Lexus Es300 2003 model went for check up brake pads and bushing and arm rest change and I also complained to my Mech that the car jerks when I put it In reverse he then told me it is an issues from the drive shaft he fixed everything that day but it still jerks then he told me it is the shaft cup . I took it the next day he told me it has to cool then I left the shop by evening he fixed it already. I then took the car from the Mech to go get fuel since I was happy everything is fine back… I got fuel and then the car won’t change gear it was just accelerating . The next day a gear master came with some wires attached to a plug and was doing some stuffs and making clicking sounds with the battery but it is still the same thing now it moves sometimes with the 1st gear but once I apply the brake and I try to move I will have to take it to neutral and then back to drive before it moves … I am really worried that my gear isn’t damaged because I don’t have much at the moment .. pls anyone who can educate me about what’s happening I don’t want to keep spending money on the wrong thing Thanks |
