Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by emmyN(m): 5:39pm On Aug 25, 2020 |
Car is a first generation Toyota Sienna. Acceleration is not commensurate with the gas pedal depression when in drive. It just growls loudly with increased rev but wouldn't move much. Sometimes I have to take it to reverse and then back to drive before it moves. While in motion, it's as if the car is struggling to gain speed. Tranny is pretty new. Was changed early last year, and the fluid still has that golden brown colour, and it's up to gauge. I'm at loss at what could be the problem. Though a little research online points to throttle body, and some other stuff. Any help here? cc: Gazzuzz, nurey, radautoworks PS: Car not in Lagos. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by nurey(m): 5:44pm On Aug 25, 2020 |
emmyN: from your description and what has been done before, I did say your vehicle is experiencing transmission issues. what fluid was used after transmission fluid change? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by emmyN(m): 5:54pm On Aug 25, 2020 |
nurey: The change was done by the previous owner and Abro fluid was reportedly used. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by nurey(m): 6:03pm On Aug 25, 2020 |
emmyN: if you have money to spend, buy 4L of total MVLV transmission fluid sold 3500/L drain the fluid in the vehicle, let the mechanic wash the metallic abi magnet filter with petrol, bolt it back and pour in 4L of the total fluid. If the transmission is still good then it wouldn't behave that way again. if you never pay for the car, walk away |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by emmyN(m): 6:06pm On Aug 25, 2020 |
nurey: Thank you very much. Will do that ASAP. Car was purchased last year and only just started exhibiting such symptoms. |

Please house, I have some issues with my Camry 2005. Firstly, I observed the engine oil keeps draining everyday ...I changed the oil 3weeks ago and to my surprise, the oil is almost dried up..please what can be the cause?? (I’m using mobi 2000 semi synthetic) Secondly, I observed it always take time before the fan starts working especially when I drive without putting on the A.C...Some said I should remove the thermostat so it doesn’t spoil the gasket in the long run while some said I should leave it the way it is.... please any suggestions on what to do? |

David50: You have being asked by different members the name of the fuel cleanser you used since 6 days ago but not one single response from you. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by makjo900: 9:54am On Aug 26, 2020 |
@radautoworks what fuel treatments do you have and how much is it? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by seanfer(m): 11:04am On Aug 26, 2020 |
ifec92: At the bolded please don't remove the thermostat or run the fans direct.. Your fan is working the way the manufacturer programmed it.. about the oil draining, there's a leak somewhere, check underneath the car after parking over night. The leak might be from some seals worn out. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 11:51am On Aug 26, 2020 |
oluwaleokey: Do not wait till your transmission oil gets dark before drain and refill. It's safer to drain and refill when it is borderline than when it goes black/dark. If you don't have the records, drain your oil and refill with Toyota W.S . |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 11:52am On Aug 26, 2020 |
ifec92: Buy a good brand of 20w50 and use, drain oil every 3000miles. And yes I said 20w50. 2 Likes |

Hi guys. My 2014 toyota corolla makes some rattling noise after I have driven the car for some time and I am in traffic. The noise is particularly much when the AC is on and goes off when I turn off the AC (for some time) but the rattling noise comes up even when AC is off. It seems to only happen when the car has been driven for about an 1 or 2 and usually when in traffic or when the car is idling. It doesn't show any other symptoms, drives well accelerates well, gear selection is fine and no issues with over heating. The noise can be loud and annoying though. It usually goes away once I start driving and or after a couple of minutes it kinda goes and comes. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 11:55am On Aug 26, 2020 |
emmyN: Before wasting so much money on expensive oil, drain the oil, wash the filter with petrol and pour another round of abro. If the car moves well, you can drain and use higher quality oil, if not, replace the transmission and still use high quality transmission oil (not abro) First generation sienas use dextronIII |

GAZZUZZ: Thank you sir. Will follow through with your recommendation. |
