Dears,


Please, I need either TACOMA OR COROLLA OF 2014 - 2015 with between 1.6 & 1.8 engine.

Tacoma of 1.8l engine?
By the way, those two vehicles are different categories, how do you wanna interchange their purposes?

Because i do not know the distance you covered in miles or kilometers, I am more confused than when we started


lol.

did a quick google distance estimate search for my commute.


Agidingbi to Yaba = 9.4 Miles

my Yaba to Island commute daily is 21.5 Miles. 21.5 x 4 days = 86 Miles

Yaba to Ogba (College Road) = 14.2 Miles

Ogba to Magodo = 11 Miles

Yaba to Ladipo = 5.6 Miles

Magodo to Yaba = 14.2 Miles

Total (excluding the short waka around area) =140.4 Miles

Fuel at Quarter Tank. Consumed is 52.6 Litres





140.4 Miles to 52.6 Litres.





just occurred to me that the car reports exactly half of the Mileage.

140*1.6=224.64km
224.64km/52.6l = 4.27km/l

Except the Vechile is a 3.3ltr engine.. If not then the car consumes fuel a lot.... Roughly 25ltrs per 100kms.

There's another like 20km not included in that waka calculation above.

But then, it's a SUV , not a corolla car.

I'm sure it's consuming more fuel than it should, but I don't think a lot is a good description. It has some o2 sensor/running rich ish going on........




What would be the efficient consumption range for a old SUV that's driven in Lagos traffic?

Manufacturer estimates 15-17mpg for City driving for the vehicle BTW. And that's new, oyinbo city with premium gasoline driving.


Corolla level consumption is nice and all, but unrealistic for large SUVs in my view

Which one is your dead in this issue?

The vehicle is rated at 15mpg by the manufacturer for City driving.......


I'm not complaining about fuel consumption Oga,

I'm asking why the vehicle is reporting half of the mileage and consumption.

DON'T YOU GET IT!!!!

IM SAYING THE CAR IS REPORTING HALF OF THE TRUE MILEAGE/CONSUMPTION



it means i'm actually saying its 1 litre to to 8.6 km by your own calculation( if thats the true calculation.), real consumption.


your corolla does 1 litre to 100 km?



again, i'm trying to find out why my car reports half of mileage/consumption?


Meanwhile if the 2017 Corolla is rated 6.1L to 100KM, then my old SUV is actually doing very very well, don't you think?

LMAO.

Ok.

My motor, old school SUV, the odometer used to read half of the distance that I cover.

E.g if I drive for 10miles, the Odometer will show 5 miles.

That's my problem grin

the Nissan almera N16 2000-2006... You can disable the NATS too, to avoid wahala.
How's that done?

I'm yet to come across a scan tool that has the option of disabling the NATS immobilizer function.
I can't comment on the Kazeem way, although I know you could sell a dummy to the immobilizer, but not disable it, by placing a programmed transponder chip on the NATS antenna on the ignition barrel. In this case, anything that turns the ignition lock is allowed to start your car.

Hi all,

I realised there is a need for us to have a thread where we can say it very loud. Hence, the creation of this room.

In this room, we can derail as much as we want, discuss off topics, etc.

But please, no derogatory words, sales, adverts, spams or posting. Other than these, fire on!

*Note that this room is not for posting our normal car issues and seeking solutions for them. We have the entire section, outside this room, for that.

Thanks for the review nurey, would definitely give it a try. Cos I'm finding it difficult getting the recommended original toyota long life coolant,as there seems to be lots of fake in the market.
