U have an idea of the cost? Also driving the car like this will it cause any immediate damage ?

I don't know how much it costs now. It will be a bit pricey with the high dollar rate now.

Also, driving the car like that won't cause any damage. As long as you can bear that annoying sound for just those few seconds.

Hello sir. I have been battling with this u0107 throttle actuator control module error. This happens only in the evening when the car has sit under the sun for a long time. I have changed the "injector mouth". My Rewire has checked the wiring.

PS, only happens when car is hot. Doesn't happen in the morning.

Possibly moisture condensation. I would check the engine ecu

So I have a Hyundai sante fe 2007 3.3ltrs engine.
Each time I accelerate to 20km/HR or more, I get a lot of vibrations on the car,felt strongly at the steering.
The vibrations reduces at higher speeds.
And also wen I carry engers/loads, any small pothole or rough road I enter, it will seem as if the car isn't balanced anymore and tilts towards that direction a bit.

Any help from d house?πŸ™

Physical inspection and diagnosis would help pinpoint what's wrong with the vehicle.
Where's your location?

Hey!!!
I'm in trouble oo.
I took my 08 es350 to a mechanic a friend recommended for shockpad change
I instructed he also changed the powersteering fluid as I noticed it gets a faint whinny sound when I drive for long... We went to drink beer, only to come back and this mechanic poured visco2000 into my powersteering reservoir. Saying it's good and works well.

Abeg what do I do now? I've driven it for 2 days now but I'm worried

@gazzuzz or any experience Oga in the house..


Hello Sir,
Please my 2008 rav4 recently suffered from electrical issues.
Car went off and refused to start at an unsafe location. In order to free up the transmission to move vehicle to safety, I noticed the rewire inserted a screwdriver into the hole at the selector and moved it to neutral. Car was then rolled to safety where efforts were made to trace the problem.

ECU was detected as the cause. It has been changed and car starts and drive now.

Problem now is that, when I select reverse(R) or drive (D), it enters with a gentle bang.
But when driving, the other gears select quietly as before.
Putting it in R or D has always been very smooth without bang before now.

The brake light has also refused to go off.

No transmission code on Bluetooth scanner.

Could it have anything to do with the changed ECU or the rewire has touch something else?

What can I do to have that smooth bang-free experience again, please

Good morning everyone.
I own a Camry 2008.
It has a fuel tank size of 70L.
I noticed it consumes too much fuel.

On a full tank till the amber fuel light, it did about 190 miles and that’s like 11 mpg compared to the 25mpg -30mpg as recorded by Toyota.


I have no check engine light
Spark plugs intact
02 sensors working too.
Catalyst intact too.


What could be the problem?
This worries me a lot.


I await your response πŸ™πŸΎ

You didn't indicate if yours has dual climate control settings.
While changing the expansion valves, did you check the switching valves to know if its stuck in one position?

It does not have dual zone climate control. I was telling the technician that the one removed has no difference with the one they brought with the method they are using (blowing into it to check for restrictions) but they said they'll change it and i just let them and it didn't get better.

Misfiring issue.
This is an issue relating to bad coils.
Get a rewire to scan it for you to detect the faulty/bad ones.
Plugs would have been affected, too.
Just do the scanning, it will display the issues to you.

Much respect, sir.

Good morning bosses into the house. I've had a check engine light on my lexus es350 2013 for while now and I've been driving it that way because all the essentials are working. However I scanned it days ago and I got these code p0300, P2240, p2241. The last two are related to o2 sensors. I noticed the car guzzles fuel alot 15mpg on average.

I suspect there's no cat on the car, I don't Intend to buy a new one, I just want to get rid of the code , I don't know if a spacer can work for a 2013 car, that's my goto option at the moment. I'm open to suggestions

Check your dipstick, the correct oil is written on it. Same with the power steering too, check the reservoir cap

195/65/15 too small. 15" rim is not vey good for this Nigeria roads, except is covered with 70' profile (vertical height) tyre.
205/65/16.
I don't think that car leg space can take beyond that self.
So, with 205/65/16, you would appreciate the difference.

Much respect, sir.
