etebefia: Radiators inability to keep temp at operating temperature. Coolant is boiling. Check fan flow direction, check for mud in radiator and if any take it to carwash for back washing . If all this does not work, replace radiator. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hi everyone , my matrix sometimes last 2weeks entered the gutter and after bringing it out , notice the inner rim bend on the wheel cover . This week I noticed my steering started to shake and I was advised to go for wheel balancing and alignment . I changed two tyres . The rims where bent back to normal for me and they did the balancing and alignment . The car steering kept shaking , took it for another alignment somewhere else but the steering is still vibrating . Please can anyone help me with a solution , car drives well steering just shakes only when on speed . Thanks |

mimicue:U can't "bend a rim to normal", the slightest of indentation would casue vibrations at high speed. Get a new rim 2 Likes |

I bot a naija used 2001 camry, over 3 months have been driving it. I notice that if I accelerate pas 40mph it will be vibrating secondly the fuel consumption is high. I took to mechanic they told me I will need wheel alignment. I now asked the mechanic about my thermostat whether they have removed it he said yes. That the fan is connected directly to the battery. And the radiator is double cell. Am thinking to install thermostat so that to control the fan. Any implications? |

Good morning all! My toyota camry 2002 is consuming too much fuel so i scanned it and i got the following error codes Car Scanner ELM OBD2 DTC report Selected brand: Toyota ============1============== P0446 Raw code: 0446 ECU: 10 Status: Confirmed OBDII: Evaporative emission (EVAP) system, vent control - circuit malfunction Toyota: Evaporative Control Vent Control Malfunction ============2============== P0441 Raw code: 0441 ECU: 10 Status: Confirmed OBDII: Evaporative emission (EVAP) system - incorrect flow detected Toyota: Evaporative Control Incorrect Flow Detected ============3============== P0440 Raw code: 0440 ECU: 10 Status: Confirmed OBDII: Evaporative emission (EVAP) system - malfunction Toyota: Evaporative Control System Malfunction ============4============== P0136 Raw code: 0136 ECU: 10 Status: Confirmed OBDII: Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2, bank 1 - circuit malfunction Toyota: Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 2 Malfunction ============5============== P0446 Raw code: 0446 ECU: 10 Status: Pending OBDII: Evaporative emission (EVAP) system, vent control - circuit malfunction Toyota: Evaporative Control Vent Control Malfunction ============6============== P0441 Raw code: 0441 ECU: 10 Status: Pending OBDII: Evaporative emission (EVAP) system - incorrect flow detected Toyota: Evaporative Control Incorrect Flow Detected ============7============== P0440 Raw code: 0440 ECU: 10 Status: Pending OBDII: Evaporative emission (EVAP) system - malfunction Toyota: Evaporative Control System Malfunction ============8============== P0136 Raw code: 0136 ECU: 10 Status: Pending OBDII: Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2, bank 1 - circuit malfunction Toyota: Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 2 Malfunction ============9============== P0446 Raw code: 0446 ECU: 10 Status: Confirmed OBDII: Evaporative emission (EVAP) system, vent control - circuit malfunction Toyota: Evaporative Control Vent Control Malfunction ============10============== P0441 Raw code: 0441 ECU: 10 Status: Confirmed OBDII: Evaporative emission (EVAP) system - incorrect flow detected Toyota: Evaporative Control Incorrect Flow Detected ============11============== P0440 Raw code: 0440 ECU: 10 Status: Confirmed OBDII: Evaporative emission (EVAP) system - malfunction Toyota: Evaporative Control System Malfunction ============12============== P0136 Raw code: 0136 ECU: 10 Status: Confirmed OBDII: Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2, bank 1 - circuit malfunction Toyota: Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 2 Malfunction. Kindly help on how i can resolve the problems associated with the codes above. Though i got to suspect the reason for the Evap emission code is due to a hose mistakenly broken by my rewire that connected to the evap solenoid close to the air filter casement. while scanning the car, i plotted the voltage graph for the 2 O2 sensors but the O2 bank 1 sensor 2 is only showing 0 volts throughout the test period Your help will highly be appreciated cc @gazzuzz |

Dear Gazzuzz, My fan run well and my thermostat still inplace. But my bad/ linking radiator was changed by my mechanic to double cell. No CEL on. Car runs fine but i am worried abt my radiator. I noticed a sudden increase in fuel consumption after radiator was changed. Pls kindly advice on the way forward.. I need fuel consumption to return back to normal. Camry 2008 V6, 2Gr-Fe. More blessings... |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 5:23pm On Jul 30, 2020 |
Kassiny: I don't think it is related to radiator change.just do standard tuneup. |

Hi guys, my car Hyundai Accent 08 jerks crazily when I slow down and switch to gear one(it’s a manual transmission). I was told it is the engine seat that is loose and will need replacement. Can anyone help with the approximate cost price so I won’t be Kazeemed? Cc GAZZUZZ RADAUTOWORKS |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Lush100(m): 12:07pm On Aug 01, 2020 |
Good morning folks, My car vibrates on idle and then within a minute after take off the car runs fine without vibration. At high speed there is no vibration. I told my mech to check spark plugs but he says the plugs are okay.( He didn't check it). I guess he was in a hurry or so maybe Salah-being a Muslim. I did wheel balancing about 3 weeks ago at an automated centre. He mech mentioned something about changing my shaft. ( We we're on motion) and he was driving so I didn't get all he said. Pls what do you think it's the possible cause(s). Car is Toyota Corolla sports 2006. Gazzuzz Radautoworks Blackbishop. Your responses will be highly appreciated. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by seanfer(m): 12:57pm On Aug 01, 2020 |
Lush100:At the bolded buy Cab cleaner and tell your mechanic to clean the throttle body AKA injector mouth. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Blackbishop(m): 4:37pm On Aug 01, 2020 |
Lush100: From the narration sir, couple of parts can actually cause vibration, one of them, the plugs and coils. Another is your Injector. Another is your Throttle body But why dont you scan and be sure of what is really wrong. 2 Likes |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by radautoworks: 4:38pm On Aug 01, 2020 |

Kaybaba5: That vibration is plugs. Does it also jerk forward when you change gears. If yes that is engine seat |
