Read on forums there's a recall by Toyota for that. Solution is software update or replacement of the transmission torque converter of update doesn't resolve it

Software update is a vague word, easy to use to describe any repair they dont want to disclose because of outcry.


Have you scanned the transmission. What codes do you have?

Have you ever wondered how you can identify fake custom papers?

All you need to check is what we call “CUSTOMS REFERENCE NUMBER“ or C-Number on your SGD form "Single Goods Declaration Form".

How To Verify And Rectify Your Custom Duty Papers
As we all know, Nigeria Customs recently set a deadline for offenders to pay outstanding import duties on their cars.

Have you ever wondered how you can identify fake Customs' papers?

All you need to check is what we call “CUSTOMS REFERENCE NUMBER“  or C-Number on your SGD Form - "Single Goods Declaration Form".

This particular number is actually used to input details of your vehicle and payment of duty into the customs’ database. It shows information like the Consignee info (agency handling your job), the means of entry (road for vehicles through land borders and ports for sea), office of entry (Idiroko Customs Command or TIN-CAN PORT), location of vehicle and place of discharge (Idiroko Border, Seme Border, Tin-Can), name and address of person/persons responsible for financial settlement (the owner of the vehicle) etc.

What fraudulent dealers do is called MO or Machined Outside - This is a process where a forger forges the bank receipts and all customs documentation. The documents look genuine but are not in the customs data base. It is a giant syndicate at the ports and borders because the vehicles are ultimately smuggled out of the Ports or Borders with the connivance of fraudulent Customs Officials.

At the top right hand corner of your document is a very bold set of numbers. This is the “C”-Number. You can not miss it because it is bold and prominent. Underneath it is a date. That date is to reflect the date duty was paid at the bank and stored in the customs ASSYCUDA data base. ASSYCUDA means “automated system customs data”. And the date under the C number means that that C-Number was computed into the data system on that date plus all the charges paid. If the payment reflects on the data base it means your documents are genuine. On the other hand if it does not reflect it means your car documents are duds/fake and your vehicle is liable to seizure and confiscation if you are stopped at any check point or if you are on a long distance journey.

My advise to any one buying a car from anybody is to request for the relevant documents in particular the SGD form which means “Single Goods Declaration Form” and has the C-Number boldly written at the top right hand corner. Under the C-Number is the date that document was posted into the data system.

No two vehicles can have the same C-Number and date. So armed with this you can visit any customs station to know if your documents are genuine.

With some cotonou smuggled cars showing up on our streets with forged documents as Lagos cleared cars and vehicles been machined out of the ports, this is a stress-free method of verifying your papers.

I am making this post for verification of Customs Papers (Duty Payment/ C-Numbers) from the following points of entry :–

1. Lagos Port (Tincan, PTML, Apapa)
2. Onne Port
3. Idiroko


All you need to do is supply your name, address, VIN and the C-number of the vehicle and we run checks on it.

Good day Gazzuzz and other car gurus. Please you people should come to my aid. Am experiencing persistent over heating in my Honda civic 2008. My mechanic said I should change the top cylinder that is like it bad. I met another mechanic who said that I should change my radiator to a new one double cell. He said that if it the top cylinder, that the car will be doing hard starting. Please my ogas, which should I do. The car movement is very OK and there is no leakage from the radiator.

A VW Passat cc 2015 model engine just stop when I was about to park into my compound after several waka.

The car has being abandoned for a year but overhaul was done early this week.

I changed the followings:
Fuel pump and it assembly.
Oil filter
Spark plugs
Air filter
Fuel control unit
Engine oil
Buzzer horn
Instrument cluster
Coding of the Cluster

I tried to start the engine multiple times, engine starts and off back immediately.
As at this morning, the engine is just cracking not starting.

What could be the problem again.

@Gazzuzz
Yes it worked, I drove from Mile 2 to Maryland, from Maryland to Alapere, from Alapere to Ikorodu.

I still went to a few places within Ikorodu, till I got home around 12 midnight lastnight.

It was lastnight and I was about entering my gate the engine stopped and I tried to start it again, it will start and off immediately.
Now this morning, just cranking no starting.

So, it worked, well with AC and full operation as at yesterday afternoon till midnight.

Seems pretty straightforward. Avoid using that gate. Park outside.

I no fit park the car outside, Moreso na official car.
Though the Mechanic is on it way, but I was just worried what could be wrong with the car, having changed those components.

I perceived the fault is still from the fuel line...
