adanny01: Hence my shock at the initial 700 bucks figure (thought it was in Naira at first). I know fully well no one is selling those sensors for 700 naira, lmao. |

krap: Yes it's an Acura TL. I use a local mechanic (kazeem) for normal servicing like brake pads, shaft, suspension, fluid change etc. I scan the car by myself and show him where to touch when it comes to electrical problem. But if the problem is a bigger one I'd take it to Gazzuzz, thank goodness he's just about 5 km from where I live. 1 Like |

Holocene: The speed sensor might not be bad. Had same issue. Mine was cleaned and light went off immediately. |

santiagoz: Steering Angle sensor may be bad. |

EgunMogaji: I have watched a couple of videos on YouTube how to go about it but small fear still de catch me so I dont mess it up. Scared I might make a mistake and then get into an accident and you know what happens when they do an accident investigation. .I only do like 45 when it rains but I think I might be forced to work on it this winter cos I need that damn traction control 1 Like |

mank1234: I tire my guy...onyibo no de repair, all they do is change so they wont be liable if it fails again after repairs. |

mank1234: I'm sorry.. we don't sell body parts. |
Re: What Maintenance Item Are You Postponing? by radautoworks: 6:09pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
Holocene:No... That's not correct. They weigh cost against safety and decide which is best. They actually like to fix when possible. It's in Nigeria I see people throwing parts at the problem. 2 Likes |

Re: What Maintenance Item Are You Postponing? by Holocene(m): 6:21pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
Just curious....is this the abs sensor or is there something I am missing. I look at this and the 700 bucks I am being asked to pay and I think i might just do it myself

Re: What Maintenance Item Are You Postponing? by Holocene(m): 6:24pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
radautoworks: I dunno if it has to do because I always go to the dealers. |
Re: What Maintenance Item Are You Postponing? by HeavenlyBang(m): 6:30pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
Holocene: Buy toks of 10k from naija and ship it over. Ship kazeem with it too, workmanship na 2k highest. Or kpatakpata you change am by yourself, e no hard. Sense will not kill me. |

Holocene: If you take an older car (2010 is quite old in some circle here in the US) to a franchised dealer one of two things will happen. 1) No one really wants to work on a dinosaur but if you insist then they'll throw the high book at you filled with diagnostic time. 2) They'll tell you to shove off. It has been my personal experience that dealerships want to do easy fixes that is high earning. Like warranty work, insurance work, etc Try to find an independent shop. |
Re: What Maintenance Item Are You Postponing? by Drtunde1(m): 7:01pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
My check light came on last week(honda accord 2007)scanning revealed bad o2 sensor. Right front absorber is leaking, my brakes is acting funny these days. Mech said the drums need replacement Pls how can I get 02 sensor in Ibadan. Thanks |
Re: What Maintenance Item Are You Postponing? by Nobody: 7:20pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
Drtunde1: Many sources but RadAutoWorks I believe can ship free to you albeit with a minimum order. You can always add Technron injector cleaner, etc to meet their minimum. I do this with Amazon, I combined my purchase till I can get free shipping. 1 Like |

Mine is the water pump. Been hearing a gaggling sound, and planning to change the water pump this month. Plus I need to do maintenance on AC system. There's a leak somewhere. I have refilled gas twice this year. |

Re: What Maintenance Item Are You Postponing? by vertueptime: 7:55pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
decision01: Abro will do, but if ur car smokes as wel use stop smoke, the whole idea is to thicken the oil a little bit so it wnt burn or evaporate, but if u can check ur plugs clean them if they need replacement then do it, |
Re: What Maintenance Item Are You Postponing? by radautoworks: 7:55pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
Holocene: Same. Dealers make money off labor not parts so they'd rather repair which has higher labor margin. |
Re: What Maintenance Item Are You Postponing? by radautoworks: 8:01pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
Holocene: Price+ shipping+ import tax+ labor= yes... But our price would be the equivalent of about $440 total to replace it. |

waledeji:My brother most times people tend to stick with a particular engine oil that works for them, at times randomly changing (might) give u a little trouble. For me i use visco 2000 for the past 18 yrs and its works well no issues, bt like they alway say check ur car manuals for recommended oil 1 Like |
