Is there any specific reagents for carbon cleansing? I have cold start misfire on Passat 2008 Fsi and no dtc. All literature points to carbon buildups in the intake manifold valves.

Yup.

Hello radautoworks, I drive a Japan manufactured Toyota Yaris. I am shopping for a Compressor. The car's details are JTDBW923701070012 model NCP92L-BEPRK.
Kindly assist with a quote for a matching American model of the part. Thanks for your assistance.

Thanks for the inquiry. So here's the thing... I have the AC compressor for a 2007 Yaris in stock.. the bad news, the price and I'm not sure it's 100% match to yours without seeing it since your VIN doesn't resolve in our system.

You can log in and see the pictures yourself if it matches yours. How-to in link below.

Fuel guage would not work. Turns out a bypass was done on the ECU, fuse box AND the transmission!

Apparently they couldn't power the ECU properly so they bridged directly to the fuse box. This interfered with the signal the guage should have been receiving. As a result, if the gauge works, the car cranks but won't start and vice versa.

Solution? Car has to be returned to factory settings as we will not do the alternative of more bypasses. Fingers crossed it can be done without needing a whole new ECU, fuse box and reprogramming. So far, we have replaced some relays and fuses and removed the bypass to the ECU and cluster.

While doing so we also discovered the instrument cluster has been tampered with and something has been soldered poorly that shouldn't have been

UPDATE: customer confirmed that all repairs except two were done by Toyota Nigeria. All it takes is ONE time for your car to get completely messed up. STAY. WITH. ONE. GOOD. PLACE.

Unfortunately these guys are still stomped by 15 years old technology, if they know where the world is right now, they might just be the new cave men.

They're only on during business hours. Someone like you needs a commercial amount. Different prices.

I know. Ac compressors are never cheap undecided
If it doesn't match that means someone has replaced your automatic compressor with a manual one. you're welcome.

Unless we are getting the part from Innoson.

But most times if they have not really abused the engine and the bearings are still holding, just put fresh oil and drive just like all the cars on the road.
Why do our people keep driving with engine over heating,

How much light and alarm is enough to stop driving.

LR3 head gasket job is a cracker

Hello ma! My Toyota avalon 03. It was having loss of power when I was driving then all of a sudden the car started to jerk, then sound of exhaust changed when I fire.
I took it to a panel beater he said the problem is not from the muffler. He loosened my catalytic converter exhaust manifold and the one right under it to check if something blocked the cats luckily the cats were free and the catalysts intact. He coupled the exhaust back and tolde to start the engine and I did. The exhaust was still blowing. He went under and checked and came out to say the exhaust were turning red. That they are blocked that he has to take it to a welder to cut open and remove things inside. I became afraid that this might lead to my car to start consuming fuel so i told him to fix everything back and drove away with my car. When I start my car the heat that comes out of the manifold is too much.
Please Ma what should I do? I'm not so buoyant to buy a new cat at the moment.
