Help Please My corolla Car Smokes by clems88(m): 12:18pm On May 11, 2022 |
Please I'm confused right now. I got a corolla 2004 Nigerian used which a mechanic certified ok. The issue was that the exaust produces a white smoke which the mechanic said when it's serviced it will be ok. Another issue started when someone drove the car because I don't know how to drive . Immediately he started the car, he said my engine is bad hence I can't use the Ac . Another mechanic was called and the mechanic said my engine is bad that I need to replace it but I can still learn n drive the car around pending when I have money to replace engine. Am so mad and confused right now. Please what can be don aside changing engine . Pls help me Cc. Gazzuzz |

clems88: How much you buy am? Make e no be say car seller don open office for your head If seller sold you the car with a bad engine, mobilizing ekelebe make im rest small for Police cell, or more preferably soldier guardroom, until he refunds fully or replaces engine is cheaper than vomiting 450k in this Buhari times. On the other hand, if you paid anything above 2m for that car and it has a bad engine, seller is beyond redemption.. He should be shot dead on sight 6 Likes 1 Share |

For how much you buy it. Did you not see my DIY before buying a car. Majority of Mechanic don't know anything so stop carrying them along. They always mislead except you have a professional. I'm not a mechanic but trust me if I should buy any car today I can do all the check myself from experience I have learnt so far. Most mechanic will go back to collect their cut. Because they know you will won't pay them more than 10k but they can hammer 100k with that. |

godofuck231:is typo error na. I was told by the mechanic not to use AC with the car until I change the engine so the AC wount kill the engine . For the engine , the mechanic called parts seller at n was told 350k is for new engine . I also called someone in ladipo they also confirmed it's 350k. I blame the first kwack mechanic that put me in this mess |

Don't give yourself headache based on random talk. What you should have asked is what makes your engine bring white smoke, stating your coolant levels after using the car. You can also state when the smoke is mostly noticeable, your temperature level after driving and probably attaching a picture of the smoke. At worst... you might have a bad head gasket. 5 Likes |

Re: Help Please My corolla Car Smokes by kernniejay(m): 3:35pm On May 12, 2022 |
clems88: cyborg123 may be right. Don't conclude on buying a new engine yet. You need to take the car to a certified professional for proper diagnosis and more investigations. From what you describe, it looks like the car has overheated in the hand of previous owner and head gasket is burnt already, it's likely water (coolant) is entering the engine hence the white smoke. Take the car to a competent technician for proper checking and if there is no solution, you can start thinking of new engine. 1 Like |

Toyota with lexus can take any form of abuse,so far e no short engine oil. Try to get scanner and scan the car,or was the engine ringed. If the engine was rigned abeg use the ac,but no pass 2000rpm. Be prepared to but new tokks engine. However while going to ladipo,mushin,have it at the back of your mind that toks engine na rebuilt naija used for ladipor. Polished so clean with petrol,u will think its tokunbo but na naija used or even condemned. Igbo,igbo,,igbo. Once money fon enter,wohala Don start if e no work. Dem day change mouth like mad. 2 Likes |

Re: Help Please My corolla Car Smokes by cyborg123(m): 8:00pm On May 12, 2022 |
clems88: Do you know how to check water level in radiator? Do you know how to describe when the smoke is most noticeable? Do you know how to check temperature guage or at least upload a picture? Do you know how to acknowledge replies on your thread or state the things you don't understand? Sometimes, one makes out time to give reply on threads but this kind of poor feedback makes one wonder if it is worth it. 2 Likes |
