Hi guys, the Car is a 2006 Corolla. The fault is that when I drive on an uneven road, or take a right turn, I will be hearing a consistent tapping sound from the rear side (the trunk). Sometimes it gets embarrassing when I am with people in the car. Also, when I speed up the vehicle on a good road surface, the car shakes. I complained to my mechanic and he changed the engine seat. Yet the problem persists. He said I should check the tires, but no visible lump on any of them. What could be the fault? |

Montaque:You need a competent technician to physically inspect the car |

Hi Kingrein, I salute what you're doing on this thread and would appreciate if I can get your permission to also reply to questions. If I'm wrong, please call me to order ASAP. As the OP, I believe it is rude to just barge in and start making comments on people's problem when I could be misleading people. With the small experience I have in the Auto repair business, I have concluded that nothing costs more money than wrong diagnostics. This is what simply puts holes in the pocket of the car owner and ruins your reputation as a trusted autotech. So please, permission to carry on? |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by kingreign(m): 5:54pm On May 11, 2023 |
jimts: Feel free pls. |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by kingreign(m): 5:57pm On May 11, 2023 |
jahgogo: I know Camshaft and Crankshaft correlation codes may mean that it’s timing is off. However, a VVT cam may be the cause or any other thing like the tensioner or the guide rails or sprockets too. This is why I want you to carry out proper scan using a good scan tool and also take live readings of the Camshaft advance and retardations of the camshafts on both banks (intake and exhausts) |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by jceesquare(m): 6:40pm On May 11, 2023 |
jahgogo:Hope they know what they're doing sa. It's easier dropping the engine to fix the timing (depending on what timing they intend setting) Modified: Just saw the OP's response to your post. You need to put that into perspective as well. Wish your valves well and hope they've not welded you cam sprocket. |

jahgogo: Hi Jahgogo. All the possible causes highlighted by kingrein were dead on. To get a good foundation of what the problem is, how often do you change your oil? And which oil do you use? |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by GentlePEACE: 8:17pm On May 12, 2023 |
Good evening Professionals, I use Camry 08, whenever I accelerate, i hear sound like an iron is scratching the floor or something. My mechanic said it's 'flywheel" I'm not sure if I spelt it correctly, they say the iron is between the engine and the gear. I don't know if that's true Also, my ABS and break light shows on the dashboard, and my RPM and speedometer has not been reading. Two rewirers said I need to change my ABS Box, another two different rewirers said I'll need to buy another dashboard. Pls what do u think guys, I don't want to do and error with them because it will cost me money. |

Hi guys, I travelled to Owerri last December with my car, on getting to Owerri my brakes started malfunctioning and I managed it to irate just like 3-4 kilometers to town I parked near mechanic workshop and I got down from the car and called one mechanic to help me with the brakes and he told me to reverse and enter the workshop but the ignition key didn't turn again, we tried our best all to no avail. I was told to look for key cutters still the same so we decided to break the key and I managed it to my house. I later bought another complete steering with key and the electrician fitted it and I left the car with my mechanic because he was unable to finish the repairs I personally locked the car with the follow come key (remote control) and handed it to the mechanic The following day when I got there I don't know how or which of the keys he used to open the car and I called his attention to the central lock not working, my butt, fuel tank refuse to open and we break the fuel tank to enable me buy. Mechanic said it will normalize but till January Nothing happened, I called my electrician from Lagos and he charged me 30k and I gave him 15k advance to come and repair it in Ondo but after collecting the money he started with one excuse or another till after election he blocked me and I can't reach him my wife called he promised before the end of April all to no avail. His number is 08023966183 The central lock icon is on I can't lock the car neither can I open the butt since December till date, can someone help me, Car Zafira 2008 model. |

Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by jahgogo: 10:48pm On May 12, 2023 |
kingreign:thank for your response, it still boil down to dropping the engine last last , because I was just hoping it what can be fixed without dropping engine. Maybe cleaning the solenoid or other sensor. 😢 |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by jahgogo: 10:49pm On May 12, 2023 |
jahgogo:Please want to know if it safe for me to be driving the car 1st like that till money enter hand to do all this things? |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by jimts(m): 11:40pm On May 12, 2023 |
jahgogo: Before you embark on doing the more difficult things, try the easy ones. These codes usually only occur on one bank at a time. I asked you about when last you changed oil and the grade because the only thing operationally common to both banks is the oil. If the oil used in the car before you got it was mineral oil, the new synthetic oil you have there might cause temporary sludge buildup in the engine due to its cleaning properties. Dirty/contaminated oil can trigger those codes. When the ECM issues commands to the OCVs to advance or retard timing and does not see a phase change through the CMP sensors, it will set those codes. This being said, before you go through the route of "dropping the engine" as your mecho insists, try to remove the OCVs on both banks. Clean them by soaking them in a solvent like petrol or get carb cleaner. Test them(momentarily) with battery voltage by supplying power to them and pay attention to hear a sharp clicking sound. You can also perform resistance test using multimeter. The reading you should be looking for is 6.9ohms to roughly 8ohms. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SERIOUS UNTIL YOU RULE OUT ALL THE SIMPLE STUFF!!! |

Woke up this morning and found my battery head like this 👇. It has been happening for some time now, my battery technician just wash and replace but it comes up again. Please what is the cause and the permanent remedy?

Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by kingreign(m): 10:53am On May 13, 2023 |
beautygboel: I saw this on twitter some hours ago. Although the narration was different. Hope I’m not being subjected to twitter people community o😂🤣 Those white powdery substance are dried sulphuric acid from the battery corrosion. Clean and wash off the terminals, then use grease or household Vaseline to coat all over the battery terminal. You should be fine. 3 Likes |

Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by chukel(m): 11:15pm On May 14, 2023 |
xegzil:the scan you did was useless if after getting P0302 you went ahead to change all plugs, coils and nozzles, even fuel pump. There was no need doing that scan. Your problem is with cylinder 2. No coil issue. No fuel pump issue. I'm sure you threw in the wrong plug. Better put back your old plugs. U need to check the compression of that cylinder 2. |
