You saucy pass am...why e shock you? Ntoin. Not everybody will allow you to climb their head and thank you for it. Which kain kweshion be that? Someone is frustrated and is asking for help and all you can do is guilt trip her. She answer you well.
Life always easy? If no, drink sniper nau. Maybe then, you'll ask yourself, "when I no come life, I die?" Mscheww.

Look at this one. You wan die put untop another woman problem.

Whatever postulations you have in your post is gibberish.

Considering how hopeless the the title of the thread is, the best advice is for the woman to let her car be at least for the time being to allow her think straight. No car is worth anyone's happiness.

Next time, learn how to not reply out of frustration

THE CYLINDER HEAD IS CRACKED THATS WHY IT KEEPS OVER HEATING AND BURNING THE GASKET.


THAT'S THE REASON THE CAR HAS A HARD START CAUSE THE COMPRESSION IS LOW. DO A PRESSURE TEST AND WATER LEAK TEST.

THE PERSON WHO SOLD THE CAR TO YOU KNEW THIS THATS THE REASON THE CAR WAS SOLD.

BUY THE CYLINDER HEAD (TOP ENGINE \ HALF ENGINE) AND IT WILL BE FINE.

Pls don't make your fan permanent as adviced above. It could cause other problems.
If you are around akowonjo/Egbeda axis, I could give you a good Japanese car mechanic that will fix your car at minimal reasonable cost. Ie your burnt gasket.
As per overheating, if it concerns your radiator, forget it. Simple matter. "Murphy Agbede" will take out that radiator, open the cells and clean it up. That car will work like new.
My sis pajero after all the rubbish by lekki mechanics and overheating still continued, I told her to send the car over. Sharp sharp overheating from radiator was fixed. 2 years later, still no issues.

Good evening everyone.
Please I bought my car about a month now. (Toks)
As I was bringing it in, I didn’t know the car was overheating and it burnt my gasket. I fixed it in agony.
Now just today, after parking it for 9 days I called the mechanic who told me I had to change the 4 coils, plugs and do a fresh servicing. I did all this and even bought two new gallons of coolant. Dear people, do you know that after an hour of all this, I tried to test drive , just along the way I noticed the car was over heating then I Tried to look for a little safe place And park. I opened my engine bay and noticed that gasket is burnt again! All my money down the drain! The stress, the agony, the everything. I’m so so sad! Trying really to be strong. Please people, what can I do? Now the car won’t start and I had to pay a towing van to tow it. Sorry about my grammar. My heart is just too heavy. Thanks. Any opinion is welcome.

I CAN BELT IT, YOU BOUGHT AN ACCIDENT CAR, ecu is holding the message that the problem has not been solve, first trace the cooling system of the car, fix the problem then scan the vehicle and clear off any errors pertaining overheating.

It's because you don't observe your dashboard icons from time to time cos before it gets to the stage of burning your gasket the radiator icon on your dashboard would have been red or blinking intermittently hence you park and let it cool off before moving

To own a car is for people who earn well. I say that as someone who have used vehicles for several years. It's one of those things. But never give up. Until you get a better mechanic or buy a better vehicle.

IF you have experience with car you should know you can be a victim too. I bought mine and I did all verification you can think of. Everything was green, no issue. I did two VIN check, one with picture and the other without. Nothing was tampered with. I used Engine Scanner to check and nothing showed (Didn't know this could be blocked), a mechanic verified before payment was made.

But what you don't know is that the issues I have experienced is twice worst than what Mskrisx is currently experiencing.

If there is no leakage within the system, I will advise that you change or check the following:
*Thermostat (if stock closed, there'll be overheating)
*Radiator (may be blocked)
*Cooling fan
*Temperature sensor
*Water pump

A car may over heat for many reasons. Of you have not addressed the cause the problem may persist. You have to check your radiator or change it, the fan and even your radiator cover plus the return. Ire e o

This is wrong, i repeat, this is wrong. Leave your fan on the factory default and trace the source of the overheating instead. Radiator/Fan/coolant hoses/water can etc
It's not wrong. If Nigeria and Africa do researches to produce their own cars. Our designs will be based on our needs.

It is wrong, thermostat doesn’t take its reading from the environment rather from the engine and acts accordingly.
