2012 Hilux Vigo 3.0 Turbocharger Stepper motor.
Friends! Hello from Greece once again. Anyone managed to find a genuine stepper motor for the turbocharger? I am about to rebuild my old turbocharger - for future use - and I wonder if there is any chance I can get a new stepper... Many thanks! -

Gear change time adjustments?
The safest way to downshift when going down hill is to use the gear shifter to select the appropriate gear for the conditions. No Automatic transmission will downshift when going down hill, unless it has a cruise control that will downshift if exceeding the set speed at zero accelerator pedal depression. My 1996 Mercedes C250TD had such a cruise control and it worked well. -

2001 Hilux diesel Overheating issues
The radiator cap was faulty, not pressurising the coolant system and causing coolant to be expelled when the hot engine was turned off. Replaced rad cap and all OK. -

Supercharger oil
Never had a vehicle with a supercharger so learnt something new about requiring oil. I thoroughly endorse the post by Baxter190388 which is based upon his personal experience. As for the supercharger oil change interval, have a read of this URL. https://www.w-body.com/topic/21836-eaton-m90-supercharger-oil-change/ Depending upon the condition of the used oil, consider repeating the oil change after a short interval e.g. drive around the block, next day or next week. 100K km oil change interval should be OK for normal driving but if more "spirited" then an annual change may be more appropriate. Just for background information purposes, I found this URL to be useful.` https://toyota-club.net/files/faq/04-09-10_faq_sc-oil_eng.htm As a parting comment, I am thinking that the supercharger is more mechanically similar to a transmission or a differential. Therefore, engine oil is highly unlikely to be a substitute for supercharger oil.- 2

Programming Remote key fob
I have a 2005 Camry Alrise I am trying to program a 2 button remote key fob I bought from ebay, I have tried every instruction I can find on YouTube and the Toyota Owners forum only seen the ones for Aurion but I believe they should be same. I can't get any of the instructions to work as instructed. They never seem to program the remote and the car never appears to go into programming mode. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? -

2013 Rav4
Hi Lee-Anne, From what i have read The P0093 code is triggered once the vehicle’s powertrain control module (PCM) detects the possibility of a large fuel leak on the high-pressure side. The code is logged once the PCM perceives a significant drop in fuel pressure within the fuel system’s high pressure rail as reported by the fuel rail pressure sensor. There are quite a few videos on You-Tube about the issue but it is not always for the RAV 4 so worth a look to see if one is for your model. I would be very careful if you intend to drive it as it can go into limp mode at any time. I am sure if any have more information on it they will let you know KAA -

Supercharger oil
You have to use specific supercharger oil. Harrop: 60-SC-OIL-250ML ACDelco: 10-4041 Eaton: as per image There's a few brands, I personally use ACDelco. I put in about ~160ml or fill to the opening port as per some documentation. Not sure how often it's supposed to be replaced.- 2
