See as people dey change engine as if dem dey change boxer.It is really sad .All these vehicles will be in tip top shape abroad for donkey years but once it lands Nigeria people destroy it with cheap useless palm oil(20w50).Even after changing engines they still go back to the palm oil and keep throwing away hard earned money out of ignorance.Very very sad and vicious cycle

I said I will be coming back on this and here I am. I have just completed a journey from Lagos to Ekiti. I ensured to travel between 11 and 5pm when the environment was largely hot.

In the past: Whenever I travel from Lagos to Ekiti (or vice versa) my coolant temperature gets to as high as 110C and it is when I stop using AC and maintain 120km/h that my temperature won't exceed 110 otherwise it will and I will be forced to slow down to avoid overheating.

I have tried all sort of things including changing gasket, plugs, injectors and meeting engineers that have advance scanners and was advised that I change the engine. I also meet kazeems who suggested that I connect fan direct and buy a double cell radiator.

I read about GAZZUZZ on Nairaland (and connected via WhatsApp) a friend of mine also told me about him so I decided that I was going to have him do the engine replacement as I don't like doing out of spec modes. Engine replacement with GAZZUZZ was going to cost around 200k+. I made up my mind, gathered the money and drove to GAZZUZZ in Lagos, he looked at the car briefly and said I should change my radiator and that he won't even do an engine change without my radiator change (this is where anyone who doesn't know his person may get pissed off as one may think he is being proud) . It felt too easy considering how far I traveled and the amount of time he spent with my car.

On the understanding that I will change radiator irrespective of engine change or not, I decided to go with GAZZUZZ advice of changing the radiator to a brand new single cell specs for the car, and also got the Toyota coolant. Behold the car temperature became stable, we test run within Lagos and all still checked out. I couldn't entirely believe it was true until I got to Ekiti with my max temperature at 97C. I was running AC and got past 140km/h without any temperature spike.

Finally people, I recommend that guy called GAZZUZZ, his pricing may be more than what kazeems charge or may look awkward in your interaction with him but I can assure you that his service is on point.

@smart724 as you can see, am no longer selling my engine as it's kicking in my car!

Regards

Congrat and enjoy ur ride, I hv known GAZZUZZ to be a trusted person
