Good Morning Gazzuzz

I have a 2008 Kia Rio(Saloon) which I intend to register on Uber, pls advise if the car is reliable for such business. If not, pls recommend other alternative cars based on your experience with those in the E-hailing business.

GAZZUZZ:


Fuel additives, octane boosters.

bdorg:


Thanks...this begets another question... is it all the time I refuel that I have to buy these octane boosters or what do you recommend?

GAZZUZZ:


to be practical there's no point, I have 23 clients with 2010 rx350 and they have never used additives, and they have no warning lights.

Good evening oga Gazzuzz, I use a Toyota Camry 2.4 which was hesitating at times so I scanned it and got this fault code P1135, please what should I do to rectify the fault.
Thanks boss

EddieMurphie:
Boss GAZZUZZ, which transmission oil will I use for Camry 2011 model (2AR-FE I4)?

How many liters and what's the cost?

Also how would one know when the gear is due for service as there is no dipstick to check.

Thanks boss

johnabraham:

GAZZUZZ:


fuel economy, slightly better on the Crv

Sturdy on Bad roads undecided.

Gear issues, Both are not known to have gear issues.

kkon:
talking about gear issue what is the cause of blinking D light on crv 08, mech is saying probably bad transmission even after changing the gear switch problem still persist. Oga gazzuzz what can be done.

frugal:

My 2008 Toyota Yaris is overheating. First the radiator was loosing water. Bought a brand new radiator, but the over heating continued. Was advised to change the gasket, did, but heating still continued.

I want to bring this to your workshop for total overhaul. Please advise. Thanks.

Hello sir my 03 Highlander has engine sludge, please what is the solution

cutesammie:
Hello sir @GAZZUZZ,
Thanks for this wonderful thread. A friend abroad recommended your nairaland profile to me and I will really appreciate your input on my query. I want to buy a car with the following profile and I will like your recommendation:

* Fuel economy
* Easy to maintain
* Suitable for a female driver with no prior car/driving experience
* Parts readily available
* Chilling AC
* Preferably a manual transmission (but auto is also okay if manual is scarce or unavailable)
* Buy and drive
* Budget is 500k to 800k max.
* Preferably a Toyota corolla, camry (pencil or spread light) or yaris, but not a must if any other car model fits into the profile above better.

If you have any one at your disposal, I am ready to buy ASAP. Waiting for your input on this. Thanks in advance.

GAZZUZZ:


How do you know there is sludge in the engine? Did you open the valve cover?

onlinemave:


I went to sell the car at cars45 and they did an inspection and said the car has sludge but it's not too severe. So I want to know what can be done

I see.

GAZZUZZ:


please scan

kkon:

GAZZUZZ:


not possible. Unless you took out the battery of the car after the blinking light.
