Bros a lot not said. My Audi's are under the weather. I mean the two. Bought a lemon rx350. Just counted my losses and moved in for the Camry and the Benz as an alternative to the A6

Is the lemon RX available for 400k? let me see if 1.3m repairs will make it a lemonade

Were they checking for Igbos and ESN members inside your car. That is what these Hoodlums wey disguise as Agitators fail to understand, when they Burn and shoot, it is the ordinary citizens that will bear the brunt.

Welcome. Thank God for journey mercies.

I hope the traffic is kind to you brah...

I spent about 3 hours there when I came here a few days ago.

Would be making the, hopefully, 8.5 hrs trip back to Lagos tomorrow.

What are the effects of taking off the thermostat mine was removed by the mechanic he says it's for the best ... But am not so sure
Grupo:


This is not true.

The right answer is the temperature reading.

You can see that the pointer is exactly at the middle.

If the thermostat had been tampered with, the temperature would be below the middle mark.

It's NOT for the best.

Change your mechanic.

Did you use AC all through to Lagos from awka?
Re: Road Trip: Awka To Lagos by Ogbaba123: 11:43am On Apr 11, 2021
If this question is to determine fuel efficiency. Note that using AC on the highway would actually increase fuel efficiency.

Even if I’m on the highway I hardly rev above 2500rpm. From Lagos to PH I will still have more than quarter tank left.

Let me even ask, is it advisable to reinstall thermostat? My rpm is above 1000, about 1500 on idle. My mechanic said it’s my injector head though. What do you guys think Cos I spend more on fuel Cos of it...

Had a similar experience on my rebuilt 2tr, my rpm dropped after reinstalling my thermostat to 750 and have been experience a great fuel economy on city/highway. Tuneup your engine first
