Hello GAZZUZZ. I scanned my Honda Accord Baby boy and it is showing p1259 (manufacturer control). Please what can I do to solve the code issue.

Kingrein Luvinhubby

GAZZUZZ:




VTech malfunction. Ensure no engine oil leaks and that all oil seals are not leaking .

Ensure you are not short on engine oil.

If all that is checked out, clear the code. And drive for a while (drive hard exceeding 3.5rpm) rescan if code is still there check or replace device in the pic

Hello Mr Gazzuzz, Please my camry 2011 jerks sometimes and doesn't accelerate at 20-30km/hr(it just makes noise and then jerk to pick again). The reverse also fails sometimes. Please, find attached the results from scanning. Thank you

GAZZUZZ:


See packaging .....

GAZZUZZ:


Take a pic of your temp gauge with engine running.

Scan the engine and transmission and post codes

9icetoo:

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 codes⁶ here and you will enjoy the help of so many knowledgeable folks here.

Good evening house, pls my Lexus Rx330 keeps making squeaking sound which makes me think the alternator belt needs to be changed but after Changing the belt, the sound still continues, so my mechanic said to lubricate the bearings with oil as that should be the cause of the squeaking sound because the bearings are dry. After lubricating the bearings, this squeaking sound still persists and even more louder this time but the mechanic said to keep driving it for a while as the bearings are not rhymed well yet with the lubricant, that immediately they are rhymed with the lubricant, the sound will stop. Please help on how to fix this, as this sound is so embarrassing while driving

Yansham:
Good morning House,

I noticed a sound coming ( like a metal hitting/rubbing on another metal) from my engine beside the belt area. The car is Camry 2007 with a 3.5 L V6 (2GR−FE) engine

What could be the problem?

Did u recently work on that area eg compressor servicing or installation, power steering pump repair etc

Good evening guys. My car is a Toyota Camry 2003. I drove for about 30mins today and then parked. After 2hrs I wanted to leave and saw my car heavily dripping engine oil on the ground as I reversed. I parked and checked to see an oil leak. Called a mechanic around and he went under the car and said it is the crankshaft oil seal that needs changing.

Questions
1. He says it is 7k for the seal. Fair?
2. To start the car and detect the leak, he had to pour in oil from another car’s previous oil change to “top up”. Pls how do I get every last drop of that oil out of the car before I put my normal 5w-30 and new filter when he is done? Will my car ever remain normal?

I have to use this guy because the car is far from home.

Kindly advise

That seal is not more than 1k.

Why did you allow him pour condemned oil into your engine?

Why didn't you check the oil level to see if it was really necessary to top off the oil?

Seriously, you guys just allow mechanics to do anything they like on your cars.

thanks boss. I will make sure he drains every last drop after fixing along with a new filter. The gauge was indeed low. I had never noticed a leakage prior. I am suspecting oil burn as the oil has been below gauge twice during last two service sessions but there’s no smoke at all. It’s an engine regularly serviced engine at 3k miles or less if up to 3 months and a 1MZ

Also, he says the engine has to be brought down to fix the issue. Is this indeed the case?

GAZZUZZ:


This is a serious leak. Are you sure it is engine oil? Back seals do not just explode, they can drop for years.

nymphomaniac:
it is engine oil. I thought it was fuel but it stayed quite a while on the floor instead of evaporating. The source of the leak is visible when front passenger side tyre is removed and the car is switched on. When it leaks, the engine pulley takes up the oil. I am just very worried. I will buy the seal myself to ensure it’s original then buy the oil and filter as well

GAZZUZZ:


You have said 2 different things.

This seal does not require engine removal.

honda001:
any reason while he should not exceed 36psi

David50:


Once had this issue. Changed belts multiple times and even two of the idle rotors.. but there was no difference. Infact, the noise became louder.

I later later changed the BELT TO A SLIGHTLY SHORTER ONE. The noise disappeared.
Apparantly, the previous belt had expanded a bit

debeey87:
Is this a good scanner to purchase for scanning a Corolla and erasing error codes? Thanks.

Also asides from a faulty speed sensor, what could cause the speedometer to stop working. Other questions I have pertains to
1. fuel gauge doesn't read correctly as well
2. Abs and srs airbag light is one.
3. Parking brake light won't go off even when the brake oil tank is full.

Please who knows the best recommend engine oil and gear oil for acura MDX 2010

9icetoo:

For engine oil, 5w20 is recommended by manufacturer.

The 2010 engine is plagued by oil shortage due to poorly designed oil controlled rings and the nikasil liner.

I suggest you use 5w30 to control oil burn and change every 5k miles if you are using a quality synthetic (not semi synthetic oo) and every 3k miles if you are using non synthetic. You need 5 liters

For the transmission, it should be serviced every 40k miles. Use ATF DW1. DO NOT USE Z1. Make sure you are buying the original ATF DW1!

You will also need to keep an eye on your transfer case. That needs servicing once in a while too as well as your rear axle.

Your maintenance minder should remind when these need to be serviced.

Follow the maintenance minder for transmission, transfer case and axle oil changes.

Use the interval I quoted up there for engine oil changes.

Happy motoring.

thank you chief. Can I contact you?.
