As you seek solutions for the above, you need to get this car off the road till you are sorted. Imagine if you were required to quickly swerve to avoid hitting someone/thing and it jams, would you blame yourself or the car once damage is done?


"jmt..."

very valuable info here....mmhh

Thanks @ guka,
I will check that with a mech so that we get to the problem.

Diagnosis has been made by a well qualified mechanic after running some tests and concludes we need to change the cartilage ( the ATF pump). We will do that tomorrow.

Which shop or where can I get at a reasonable price for a 4A engine AE 111.

Thanks in advance.

@abdulrahman you sound happy today morning in another thread. Were you sorted with your car? Give update bwana!

sorry for the late reply @ Alphadoti

After the diagnosis was done per my earlier update, I talked to another mechanic friend of mine and he advised me to pass by his garange that day evening before changing the cartilage/pump as I was advised by the earlier guy. You wouldnt believe that after getting to his garange at 8pm in the evening after office, he "chokorad" it and rectified the problem.I spent a total of ksh 1,050 including his pay way below what I had been advised ie ksh 8,000 for a new pump and another 2,000 for the mech pay and ATF fluid.

Its now a week and the steering wheel moves as new.

So what was the problem?

@abdulrahman, tafadhali nitumie hizo contacts za that mech who rectified your problem. Kuna mtu amekuwa akiendesha gari yake ikiwa na hiyo shida ya steering for a while (two months), and I would want to help them out juu he thinks it's very expensive to change the pump. I always see that steering issue as a disaster waiting to happen. Send the mech's contact to jsblazin@gmail.com tafadhali.
