Men, during the days of high testosterone grin, I removed the fan from 230E flat boot and installed it in a peugeot 504 S/W. I was feeling high and a big nwa. Everything was working fine, ac chilling, even my pupsy was seeing a mechanical engineer in his son.









Until one day(4days after) monkey go market, e no come back. In the middle of a hot sun in a terrible traffic, the wagon almost caught fire. Burnt smell, smoke, lo and behold, the fan don kpai.

You changed. You stopped sharing knowledge

I spend huge resources acquiring knowledge, I burn midnight candles doing same, sacrificed my joy, my fun, my health and my friends acquiring same knowledge, anyone who wishes to tap from such knowledge should pay for it. It ain't free no more. I can't freely give it and then it will be abused.

Share. Keep sharing. I share both online and offline. God bless. The day one stop sharing that's the day you start stagnating

When u think u have arrived on the knowledge u have u will not share but when u see that u are constantly learning u will readily share as u are also learning from others

Funny but true. No one arrives on knowledge. As knowledge itself keeps evolving. Thus you need to keep learning new things and new methods periodically

Verrrrrrry interesting. I have a similar issue with my car. Couldn't install spacers on one of my 02 sensors, since it was touching the transmission. Not enough space, usual Nissan wahala.

I'll look into replicating this. I really, really hate having a CEL.

AB gum to the rescue always when plastic bits break off. Also, when side mirror delaminates from the edge, silicon glue to the rescue.

I and friends used two spoons to loosen my car tire nuts in order to replace a flat at 12:15 midnight on the highway 505 SRD.
Re: If It Works, It Ain't Stupid by Nobody: 8:55pm On Oct 26, 2019
Hi Gazzuz, the images below are my corolla 2010, I noticed the seeming crack /welding few days after it was bought. There's no check engine light, nor any light on the dashboard. However I average 40-42 miles per 1,000 of fuel, that is 6.89L which is way below. Using 26mpg combined, this 6.89L ought to give me 53miles.

Now I noticed from the VIN reports that the car had been reprogrammed in the US in 2017, before it was imported to Nigeria in 2019. This made me think the Catalyst was tampered in the US.
What could possibly be the reason for the seeming high fuel consumption and how can it be resolved.

Used 4 minutes him, tube, insulation tape and scotch tape to mend my Skoda Octavia turbo hose.
Hose blew on a trip to Enugu from ph. A journey of 4 hours turned to 6.
Couldn't get the hose in Enugu so got to work patching it. The finished work was impressive and held for two months until I replaced the hose.
Even my in-law who witnessed the fix asked if I was a Kazeem. grin
