What is the meaning of this
Distance to empty on Avalon 2014 ?

With the fuel in the car, you can still drive across 205 miles before it stops.

Guys please this car is Toyota Matrix 2010. It stalls when climbing up or when it's slow. The car vibrates all round ,it feels heavy to drive, the smoke is smelling fuel, it kills coil.

Do they have to open it the neck just dey change coil everytime. It works well for days den returns to that state. Do they need to reset the timing?

But throttle body doesn't go bad that often na. I may be wrong.

So are really sure that the problem of the car is throttle body?

Hi guys, my car Toyota Camry 04 V4 , My issue is that the car do over heat when I speed from 80 upwards and whenever I ON AC, but when am in stand still traffic even for two hours, it won't over heat but once I speed off , the temperature will be raising and if I slow down it will also be going down.

This also happens when I ON my AC. The engine sound normal.

Just the over heat when I speed from 80km and when I ON my AC. The temperature will increase..

When I open bonnet to check, water will be boiling at the water reserve ( asin the water from radiator will be going back to water reserve and it will be boiling )

Please can anyone recommend a clearing agent here?

Check all the cooling systems components from fan speed and direction, radiator cover, radiator fins for blockage and leaks, thermostat if present (if it's partially blocked or functioning abnormally), cooling pipes for leaks and rust blockage (seen this a lot with people who use water instead of coolant) to your water pump.

Yes both are working

I use water, will check the pipe and my mech is saying I should change gasket.

From what you described, your gasket is the likely culprit.

Does the water in your reservoir or radiator short? Meaning you have to top it up every time?

If so, it's either your gasket is bad or you have small leaks especially in your radiator.

How did he get to that conclusion?
You said car does not overheat when idling for 2 hours and only overheats when moving at 80km/h and with AC on right?
So I assume you have a restriction in coolant flow possibly from the water pump.
If he has the kit for coolant leak down test, he's diagnosis would be better.

Like this morning, I left house by 5:40am from ijegun to VI through the 3rd mainland bridge, I maintained speed level of 40-60km/h. Even with all the traffic, e no still over heat till I reach office and park. It can stay more than 2hrs without over -heating as long as I no drive pass 60km and I no put on AC. I dey drive this car every day ( Monday to Friday to VI ) without over-heating.

Please recommend wia I can go for the test. Me don't want to change my gasket and still having same issue.

I just worked on the Radiator on Saturday was doing before and mechanic recommend I wash the radiator which I did. Still no difference.

Once I put water for reservoir, it will dry up but radiator will still be having water.


I only top up when am leaving for work in the morning, til will carry me tll I reach office for VI and when am leaving office, I top water again and it will reach me till I got home ijegun

If you did all that, then your gasket is not burnt.
Kindly call 07089030689 for assistance as remote diagnosis would not be visible.

Keep studying the color change and smell from time to time. Compare with reported changes for your ATF found online.

If you top up water that often, the likely culprit is your gasket.

N.b. I no be mechanic o

That's my issue, I thought when gasket is bad, it will allow water to mix with oil. But water and oil are not mixing together and the engine sounds normal.

If the gasket is that bad, e for don stop on top bridge as I go to work everyday with the car to VI.

I only add water in the morning when am leaving for work and after close of work when am going home. It has Neva over heat when am driving far distance as long as I maintained 40/60km/h without AC.


If my gasket is bad, shaa oil will be mixing together with water. But my oil is good and engine sounds great

If gasket is bad, it will allow water to be mixing together with Oil, but my own don't and is still over heat when I Speed above 80km and when AC is on.

Once I applied pressure, the temperature will go up, but on a low pressure, the temperature will be static.

My fan is working perfect work and my radiator is neat.

What's the problem?

Electrical or mechanical
