I want my car(Toyota corolla 2005CE) to be a bit higher above d ground such dt d silencer will not b hiting d ground all d time. Someone said I should change the car RIM and TYRES to 16 from 15,another person said I shd just change my tyre from 185 to 205 and still be using the 15R. PLS WHICH OPTION IS BETTER.

.....Meanwhile, I'm a marketer, so d car is often filled up with goods for distribution.

Good Day. I recently bought a car (used)from this forum, Camry 2001, Auto Transmission, i4. To be honest it’s a big regret. I live in Benin and I had to send a friend, who took a mechanic along to inspect the car. Car was certified okay by the mechanic. But when I came for the car I discovered that whenever I am driving and I apply break it shuts off. I managed it to Benin like that and the next day I took it to the mech for repairs.
Fuel pump was changed, engine sensor, to cut the long story short, I have spent more than 28k trying to fix the issue of break and quench with different mech and electricians. Right now I don’t know who to blame, the seller or the mechanic that inspected the car and certified it okay. Please help is needed urgently on how to fix this issue. Thank you.

How about starting with cleaning of the IACV (idle air control valve) it's mounted beside the throttle body which is on the intake manifold and your throttle body is cable operated.

Notice that sensor indicated with the orange colour arrow? That's it. Usually, kazeem do block a valve hole with piece of rag or paper or polyethylene. All you needed to do was get a proper cleaner to clean it after opening it, after you're done cleaning it, recouple it back properly.

It is a common and well known act where by mechanics do side talks with car sellers or let me say reach a bargain on how a good or bad car can be certified by the mechanic in order for him to give the car a pass mark.

Mechanic == oga seller how much you go gimme make I fit tell them to buy this car. If you no shake body I go tell them say your car no good o.

Seller === oya na I go give you 20k

Mechanic observes the car wayociously,drives and certifies it,buyer pays and later he runs into series of problems which same mechanic will fix and collect some cash as well.

With a crooked mechanic,you can't win when it comes to purchasing a car.

Advise!! Inspect car yourself b4 making payments even if mechanic gives it a a green light. Sorry man! Hope you get help fixing your Camry.

Wheel balance.

elujah1:


Done that still same, the mechanic says I should change the front disk, that its worn, want to be sure before I change. Don't like guess work

adanny01:


Note that there 3 types of vibration sources.

1. Vibration during acceleration (40-60kmph)
2. Vibration during braking (slowing down from speed above 60kmph)
3. Constant vibration at higher speed (80kmph and above)

The first one is usually a problem due to inner CVT joint.
The second is a bad rotor (brake disc).
The third, can be bad wheel balance, tire or rim. This can easily determined during rotary wheel balancing.
