I want to fill my coolant tank, I want to know if I should mix with water or or just pour in only the coolant in the coolant tank
Please help, Car gurus

Also I do observe a pound-like noise when I change gear to Drive, please what should I check

Get this, it's pre-mixed. Got this from Gazzuzz some while ago for a Corolla - I believe Radautoworks also have it in stock.

There are lots of fakes in the market, mixed with tap water and dye

Nice info regarding the anti-freeze part - I'm not a cheapskate when it comes to vehicle maintenance, but then again, that depends largely on the vehicle's condition. grin grin For example, my Benz shorts a litre of coolant every 800-1000km (a minute leak, i haven't been bothered to trace), a quartz every 2500-3000km. And I move around a lot, infact I average well over 800kms weekly with that car, so I use the cheap coolant for it. Also use 15w50 oil on it, for other cars I go by the book and stick to manufacturer recommendations.

My car, 02 Toyota Avalon vibrates when on idle. I will start the car, after 3 attempts before it starts and it will start vibrating and not fire well, sometimes it will stop on its own. I'm suspecting my spark plugs cus I haven't changed them for awhile now. Please is there anything else that could be bad asides the spark plugs?

My Toyota camry 2007 has this vibration when ever am moving on an uneven road. tie rod and down link have been checked and confirmed ok, all four shocks also confirmed ok.

The vibration is around the back side in between the two back tyre area.

Someone is suggesting I should check bushing and cacam bar ( dont know the spelling).

Please what do you think might be the issue with the car.
When it comes to suspension problems sir. Some faults cannot be identified by just looking. You need to dismantle all the components and check them.
For you to solve this sir, i will suggest you dismantle the area you feel the noise is coming from and check each and every component. Change faulty components.

Good Evening.
I use a Lexus 350 07/08.
Recently, the is a noise like the power steering oil leaked and the pump making noise. At the same time the Ac stopped cooling.
I had met one or two technicians on ac.
One told me it is the condemnation that leaked the oil and gas.
Recently, I met a man that claimed to be a Japanese vehicle Mechanic.
He had the sound and told me it is the Ac compressor that has gone bad, hence the noise I am hearing.
Please, advice me on what to do.
A part of me say I should go to do diagnosis before giving it for repair.
This shouldn't be a problem sir. Just trace the noise.
For power steering, is it hard? When you turn your steering end to end does it make that noise?
For the compressor, there is a possibility it is the cause of the non cooling. What you need to do is get a competent AC tech to check your AC system, diagnose it and fix as required.

Stop throwing parts.
Spark plugs are made to last a long time. Doesn't require changing and changing every time.
Back to the issue: when the vehicle vibrates, does your check engine light flash or does it stay solid? Trying to identify if its a misfire issue.
Kindly reach a competent tech to check your ignition system, fuel injection and air supply.
Why? Corroded spark plugs, clogged fuel injectors among other things could cause this vibration.
A dirty throttle body could also cause such vibration.
Diagnose the issue pls don't throw parts.
A vacuum leak could also cause this...

I need help on my car very urgently..

I own a camry muscle 2007/2008 but i noticed that if i choose not to use AC when driving the car, I can drive it from lagos to Ibadan without issue.

But any time I switch on the AC and keep driving, the car suddenly trip off on the road. sometimes it will start immediately when restarted with AC off.
And sometimes i will wait for about 5-10 mins before it can start.

Kindly help out with possible solutions..

Is your AC system still factory circuitry or it has been kazeemized?
I suppose there is a high chance your AC system has been kazeemized. And it has become the cause of this sudden engine trip off.
Find a competent tech to help you diagnose the cause of this problem and fix this issue.
Where are you located?

Thanks for your response. The car is scanned now and some error codes has been reset. The only thing the rewire did after the scan is that, he service some part of the gear and clean it with injector cleaner but my gear still need great or much speed to select to 3,4 n 5. Gear 1 and 2 select well though. The rewire and the Mech told me to use it more maybe it will all select well, but nothing happen to the gear according to the scan. Thanks so much

Good day all. Please how reliable is Mazda 626 (2003) model, are the parts readily available? I am based in Abuja and if I am to purchase this ride, it will be my first ride. I earn about 100k as income. Please expert gurus in the house, come to my aid. I am considering picking one out of the two.

Which transmission oil did you use? Anything other than the manufacturer recommended fluid, start budgeting for a new gear box.

I need your advice. I have a corolla 2005 I bought last year(Nigerian Used), I put it up for Uber when I first bought it and had to take it back after 2months after seeing the deplorable state the guy had put the car in. Lately I decided to put it back on the road for Uber again and did some fixes and changes to make it Uber standard.
I did a full suspension change, changed the whole AC unit( compressor, condenser,evaporator) then had the mounts changed cause it has been vibrating, but even after the four mounts have been changed the car still vibrates. The plugs were recently changed(I cannot ascertain this coz my brother took the car out, it developed some problems and his mechanic claimed to have changed the plugs and a coil).
The car is now in shape but the Uber driver says the vibration still persists. What could be the cause if this annoying vibration? PLEASE HELP!!!
