Hey peeps. How to diagnose the oil pump for low oil pressure?

You can rent it from any local workshop. There is no point buying it, so just rent it.

hey i did it! though it was confusing at first, but my friend who was my second hand in this DIY task guided me very well. Credit goes to you dude. Thans a ton!

What does it mean by intake vacuum?

Well, i dont think that replacing fuel line should be your first DIY. You can always start with fuses, spark plugs and brake pads. But Fuel line replacements nees proper knowledge of their functioning.

Jump starting a car is really interesting part. I used to do that before and I use to love it. Follow these steps:

1. First, you need to make sure that if your car broke down; the reason is the battery only. You can check that when your headlights and dash lights go dim. If yes, then it’s the battery.
2.  Now, to jump start the car you will need a fresh battery from another car. Park the car with a good battery just in front of the car which broke down making sure that the distance between the car batteries is at lowest. But don’t touch the cars.
3. Now you will need the jump clamp terminals of your battery. That’s the most essential thing that you will need.
4. Generally the jump terminals have two colors: Red and black. The red terminal on two sides represents the positive terminal and black one negative terminal.
5. Now first connect the positive terminals. Take the red clamp and connect it to the positive terminal of the dead battery first and then connect the second end to the positive terminal of the working battery.
6. For the black clamp, connect one end to the negative terminal of the good battery and other end to any grounded metal of the dead car. You can use any lug nut or bolt for this purpose.
7. Now, switch on the working car first and keep it idle for 5-10 min. Now switch on the dead car slowly. Try to accelerate the car slowly. Your car will start. After it starts working, remove the clamps from the terminals of the car and make sure they do not touch each other. If they touch each other, it may cause a short fire and sometimes the engine also gets destroyed.

Also remember, once the car started working, do not put it off as it may not start again and you may have to repeat the process again.  

As per my experience, the batteries of the hybrid cars can last for 8 years. I know many salesmen stating that the hybrid car batteries last forever, which is not even possible. A time comes when battery cannot hold much charge even with hybrid features. So don’t believe such stupid things, and yes I as I said, it can last for good 7 to 8 years. 

Hey people. I want to change the brake pads of my Toyota Corolla,2009 model. Please suggest me what all things are required to change the same. And also if someone can help me with the procedure to do it. Thank you in advance.

It can be battery or the alternator. If not, then may be the starter of your car system is failed to respond. Its not a big issue, but yes get it diagnosed soon, otherwise it may increase other electronic issues in your car.

Hey Dean. I really dont think that Every model of Camry has a same problem. Sometimes its a manufacturing default in a particular model. I had a Camry before and it was really smooth. I never faced such a problem of oil consumption.

I am just fed up of my Avalon. trust me, its a nightmare now!

It has been second time when the engine oil was completely lost and i did not get any warning light about the same. Its ridiculous. The hose are damaged and have to replace them. really annoyed. Just a suggestion. Don't buy a used Avalon. Please

Well I dont disagree with John. Automatic transmission though is a trouble free drive but sometimes actually boring. No clutch, no gear. It sometimes is very boring. i wish the manual market can come back.

Ya. I heard about this accident on the old emirates road in the newspaper. I think the guy was drunk. But seriously, Dubai is a crucial place when it comes upon road accidents. And specially on highways crossing from the city. People drive really fast on these roads but they are not aware of the consequences they may face because of this.

I remember one incident where the driver was so busy in his phone that he didn't realize that he was gonna bang into a car with a baby inside. Though the accident was not huge, but when I saw that happening I was really praying for the kid. On the other side, I was so pissed at the other guy who was busy in the phone. I wish I could go and give him a slap. I am sure the guy must have realized his mistake now and hopefully don't use his phone while driving. And who so ever is reading this post and use mobile phone while driving, then i would like to request them to stop it.

Hey people. No offense, but just wanted to know which Toyota car, do you think is most boring to drive on the road.

Please share which toyota car do you own and till what level are you satisfied with your car.

The engine clicking and collapsed filter noise is because of the low oil pressure or any worn or damaged part. To fix this noise, check the oil level in the engine and others parts if they are damaged.

In case of Valve noise, one needs to check the valve lash if it is damaged.

If there is bearing noise in the engine it means there is an extreme damage to the bearing. One needs to get that fixed. Don't try to fix it on your own, if you are not experienced.

And lastly, the pinging noise from the engine comes because of the detonation in the car system.

Toyota corolla is considered as one of the best and most comfortable car of Toyota. From maintenance to the road experience, Toyota corolla has been titled as most comfortable car. If the car is too old lets say may be 7-8 years, then every car comes up with a problem with the fuse, seat, engine and everything. Its not only corolla. but if you are buying a new model then for sure its a very good choice.

Thank you for suggesting guys. It's really informative and helpful.

Hey guys

As the topic suggests, please discuss the crucial things that one needs to take care of in their car and get it replaced/fixed after particular pattern of time.

It is very common in old cars in which the deign of the heater core is made up of metal alloys. These heater core are tend to attacked by corrosion and this is how the heater core continuously fail. But you can fix this problem by attaching the grounding strap on the heater core. But also, it is always better option to replace the heater core with a copper or brass one.

offcourse. In winters, the cranking load on the battery is increased. The engine oil gets thicker in the engine and thus it takes more amps on a battery to start the engine. That's why it is really essential to have a good battery which should be reliable in the cold weather, otherwise everyday the driver will face difficulty in starting the car early morning.
