Hello Boss @Gazzuzz,

Nice you are doing here.

Please, I just bought a Toyota Sienna 2000 and just noticed so many things to repair. One of them is Steering Rack (and maybe steering pump). Could please help me with the price in Nigeria.

Thanks in anticipation

bro you never answer my question since yesterday i asked :Please what do you think, I want to buy volkswagen passat 2006 or 2007, I hope it's a good car in time of fuel economy and cheap to maintain please get back to me. Thank my real G

Cheap to maintain? NO!!! No maintenance is that cheap. Why not go for another car. If you insist on Passat, the 2008 model is far better. Read reviews online to know more about it. Sha don’t buy naija used. Those cars are cheap enough in USA, you can get it for less than $1000 excluding shipping and other charges

Gazzuzz,

Please help a first time car user. I have a decision to make. I am about getting my first car and I am stuck between 2 options

1) A foreign used 2004/2005 Acura MDX
2) Nigerian used 2003-2006 Toyota Corolla

I understand the corolla is fuel efficient, spare parts are available but it’s also prone to theft and boring. The Acura is a fuel guzzler,could have transmission issues if not well maintained( I take maintenance serious)but it’s a beauty.

I plan to use the car for one year then resell. I would use it on a daily basis to work. Please advise on which to go for.
Re: ASK GAZZUZZ by SpeedRacer(m): 7:15pm On Jun 14, 2019
Good evening sir.
I replaced my camshaft, timing chain and timining tensioner, but now the car isn't idling properly. Its fluctuating between 650-750

.
And it causes the car to vibrate when it's in drive in traffic, when the ac is in its a little better as the vibrations are lesser,
Car is a 2005 Toyota corolla 1zzfe

Sorry to disturb yuu again but could it be the oil control sensor located at the top left corner below the camshaft, because mine came apart after the car was first assembled.

Just joined it back together and stuck it in the engine.
As I type now I'm on my way to get another and see if it will stop the idling from moving up and down,
Re: ASK GAZZUZZ by SpeedRacer(m): 4:10pm On Jun 15, 2019
From a cold start, the idling isn't there. The idling only starts when car has obtained working temperature,
Also the timing was first set on Tuesday, the car was lethargic on acceleration, it was reset on Friday and it has driven wonderfully well only this idle shaking which causes the car to want to stall., I use this car for uber so I'm really scared to drive it with passengers on other to avoid messing them up.

Insure the car, and allow the insurance company install the tracker for you for almost free.
