ArticleBeast: 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 1 Like

Zamorano14: 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 1 Like |

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 Cc: Gazzuzz, kingreign. Nurey. 9icetoo 1 Like |

nymphomaniac: 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. 2 Likes |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by nymphomaniac(m): 7:35pm On Jul 21, 2022 |
Grupo: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? 1 Like |

nymphomaniac: There are 2 major seals. One in between the engine and transmission, and the other behind the harmonic balancer, AKA belt pulley. Original seals are about ₦10,000. Fake about ₦1000. 1 Like |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:42pm On Jul 21, 2022 |
nymphomaniac: This is a serious leak. Are you sure it is engine oil? Back seals do not just explode, they can drop for years. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by nymphomaniac(m): 9:46pm On Jul 21, 2022 |
GAZZUZZ: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 |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:59pm On Jul 21, 2022 |
nymphomaniac: You have said 2 different things. This seal does not require engine removal. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by nymphomaniac(m): 10:01pm On Jul 21, 2022 |
GAZZUZZ:I will take a picture tomorrow. Thanks for all your help sir. I’ll also buy the seal. |

honda001:The max cold air tire pressure for passenger vehicle tyres is usually 44 Psi. I do not know the age of his vehicle tyres. The older they are, the more susceptible they are to blowouts from higher pressures. On the door sticker where the manufacturer states the recommended maximum tyre pressure, I am yet to see pressures higher than 36psi for regular passenger cars. Some are even as low as 32psi. I have read that some TPMS sensors also show higher pressures as a fault and light up on the dash. Reducing the pressure in the affected tyres clears the fault. |

Hi guys, I have this 2012 Camry that cranks and will not start. It has not being like this - problem started when I gave a mechanic the car to service and wash it. The car key came back spoilt and disabled from the fob, it actually started when it was being taken to be refuelled after the incident but after it was refuelled it refused to start in the filling station. The mechanic came the next day and started it saying that nothing was wrong with the car or the keys transponder that it was just a fuse that did cut in the fuse box, he took the car key and packaged it again but on receiving the key - the car did not start again by my friend that is in the company of the car. NB= car doesn't have no security just a tracker. Please what do you think might be the issue here abi someone is not being honest with me? |

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 |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by 9icetoo(m): 12:42pm On Jul 23, 2022 |
lordfalcao: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. 1 Like |
