cyborg123:I said I was gonna get back to you. I have water in my radiator but discovered particles of oil in it. I also notice the smoke is a bit grey and the engine not so loud when it's well raised. I also discovered that my dashboard show the trip attached.

clems88: Left to me, I would have asked you to check and observe several things first, but since you are not so familiar with cars, I will advise you let a mechanic check the car for you. |

BoboKush: You may attempt to fix that & something else gets damaged in the process since the engine will have to be opened. I would recommend you ignore the issue. 1 Like |

clems88:Honestly, I don't know any one in ibadan for now, though I heard that there is one professional around Total Garden, he also runs an auto programme on Splash FM every Wednesday around 10am or so, there is another one around Ogunpa Market too, i think the name is GMF or something. 1 Like |

clems88:Don't just conclude like that. Cars are very expensive these days except you have enough money to add and buy a very nice car. I am sure that engine can still be salvaged, but if it is beyond repair, buying an engine or rebuilding the engine is cheaper than buying a new car. NB: Next time you want to buy a car, pls go with a reliable and competent technician, not the type that will conspire with seller to dupe you or the one that will make you buy lemon so that you can become his regular customer. 4 Likes |

kernniejay:men this is a difficult decision. Seeing the car makes me angry. Driving a car that's smokes. I can't even take it out because shame wount allow me. It's just packed while I trek or take public transport with my family where ever I go. The annoying thing is the dealers are pricing a whole corolla 1m to 1.2m |
Re: Help Please My corolla Car Smokes by kernniejay(m): 8:34pm On May 14, 2022 |
clems88:I understand your annoyance, but I will say you should give it a last chance before selling off, you just bought this car and you should not sell it immediately at a loss, repair and use it for like a year so that you when you sell it cheaply, you will know that it has served you. 1 Like 1 Share |

clems88: How much did you buy it? |
Re: Help Please My corolla Car Smokes by clems88(m): 11:27pm On May 14, 2022 |
Dozieson:1.4m |

clems88: It is still a fair deal considering the price of Corolla in naija today if the body and interior is very okay. Before you sell, make sure you have enough to buy a tokunbo car. Or you want to stay without a car? Those dealers knows good mechanic that will repair the engine reduce the smoke and sell @ a much more higher price to the next victim. Corolla engine is not that difficult to fix. |

clems88: And therein lies the problem. The Toyota Corona 2003-2004 sells for between 2.7-2.9m for a foreign used one with no issues. A reg with no issues sells for ₦₦1.8-2.1m When buying a car (foreign used or Reg) if you find one that is cheap , just know something must give (engine , transmission, under body rust, custom duty, ownership, air-conditioning, electrical), especially a car that is highly sought after. 7 Likes 1 Share |

cyborg123: Good morning sir, please I recently bought a Honda Civic 2006, but unfortunately the seller was using 20w-50 instead of the engine recommended 5w-20, immediately I switched back, I noticed smoking upon cold start, but now the car emits blue smokes as I drive around, it even worse when I accelerate.. Please what is the solution? I will appreciate your advice as it's embarrassing driving this to work |
Re: Help Please My corolla Car Smokes by Dozieson(m): 5:03am On Sep 24, 2022 |
koloqua: If it is not burning oil then watch out for oil light on the dashboard to avoid engine damage. The synthetic oil is cleaning out the sludge from the car |
Re: Help Please My corolla Car Smokes by cyborg123(m): 7:21am On Sep 24, 2022 |
koloqua: Good morning. I've replied on your thread. |
Re: Help Please My corolla Car Smokes by koloqua(m): 8:24am On Sep 24, 2022 |
Dozieson: I have checked the dashboard, no oil light showing, just check engine light alone.. Also, I found out the mechanic I used previously used 2 different oil when he initially noticed the oil shortages, he used them to top it up SAE-40 and one other. So what can I do now? Cos the blue smoke thingy is embarrassing |
