You need a very highly competent technician within your locality to check that car. It's problem is quite vague.

Modified *** 13/09.

We later find out, it’s a leaking heater core, thats causing the soggy floorboard, hot smoke coming out of the AC vent and high temperature in the car.

I was told, they’ll have to remove the the whole dashboard to get it fixed or they can easily bypass it.

Gurus in the house, is the okay to bypass the heater core in a Toyota Camry? And also what are effect of doing that ?

Heater core is useless in naija,tell them to block the hose.

Good day all,
I have a Lexus rx330 that was having gear issues and I changed it recently
The issue I’m experiencing now is that when I start it in the morning to drive it works perfectly but after driving for like 10min and the engine gets hot it refuses to enter gear and when I step on the accelerator it only Revs but doesn’t move
After letting it cool again it works perfectly and but the same issue occur after a while

Spoke to the gear master that worked on the gear and he said that the issue is calibration(which I’m yet to even understand) since it’s 13pin

I need help and I want to ask if any one has an idea of the issue or what gear calibration is if that’s a thing.
Thanks

Oga sir converting the car to FWD they won't touch any of the eletrical wiring sir 🙄 if you don't know about the convertion no need to dey...................🤭🤭🤭🤭

First of all, AWD is a design that means power is constantly sent to all the wheels all the time, the abuse you support brazenly on nairaland will void all your manufacturer warranty if your car was bought new in a developed country, the ECU AND TCM of these cars were made for this, for better traction and acceleration, disengaging a vehicle part that relays messages/power to the wheels from the ECM And TCM claiming it makes the transaxle last longer is what should be called a fix huh?
It is easy for a mechanic who is reckless and too willing to experiment with other people's vehicles to mess with the differential, there are SUVs that have computer controlled switches Fwd/AWD/4wd, those will definitely take an offense with this 'fix', like I always say, i am not a mechanic, but i have been playing with cars before many of these mechanics on nairaland were born, try this joke with more sophisticated modern SUVs or trucks and see what happens to your freedom afterwards.
If the seller of that replacement transaxle is saying it can't send power to all four wheels like it should, then maybe something isn't being spelt out very clearly, that was the point. Abuse can't be repair, if it was some kind of intended and deliberate thing like a MoD which is still some sort of abuse, then it'd be understandable, what happens to the viscous coupling of this vehicle? Thrown out for sure, it's okay if the owner doesn't care for these added advantages of an Awd, being an Awd wasn't the problem, and converting it will not make a dying transaxle stay alive longer. Stay fit, eat healthy bro and avoid women 😂

Id rather rebuild gear than buy toks,unless i buy from asia or ebay or letgo directly from the seller who is honest, shows car status the vear came from,whether accidented,scrapped or just extra part.all the gears at ladipo,80percent are reworked,sparkling silver clean disguised as direct toks.

That's one useless feature in the tropics like Nigeria, even during harmattan or rainy season you still don't need your heater core functioning, that's one abuse you can get away with, NEVER LET THEM DISMANTLE YOUR DASH, like someone has said, deleting the heater core is what's wise.

Good Day All & thanks for this helpful thread @kingreign 👏

My vehicle is 2007/08 Camry with a 4 plug 2Az engine!

Recently I noticed that when I'm driving there's this slight shuddering I feel. Happens when the gear slips into second gear & goes away at when it enters the third & higher gears.

The gears changes easily, it's just the slight shuddering when it's in the second gear.

It also has low idling.
It idles well at first but goes low later on.
My mechanic recently rectified the low idling nd he also pointed out that it might be responsible for the shuddering . Brand new ngk oem plugs were also installed.

But the shuddering still remains.

IEngine runs well with the AC & all. But the shuddering at gear 2 is of great concern to me.

Looking forward to your responses. Thanks 🙏🏾

More like slight vibrations at a certain speed and vibrations disappears above or below that speed
Possible causes:
Worn Engine/Transmission mounts
Worn axles/shafts (Pair) inner and outer
Bad, tyres/ bent rims

Start from the simplest and work your way up

Have you scanned the car?
The camry XV40 doesn't have a manually adjustable idle it's electonically controlled.
