Go and run a diagnostic scan on your ride. From d results or codes, you'll be pointed towards the cause(s) of the high fuel consumption. Don't allow trial and error work on your car. If you don't understand the codes you get, post em here and you'll get explanations. |

Also, if your Thermostat has been removed and your fans begin to run immediately you turn the ignition key on, then your car would definitely consume lots of fuel abnormally. |

If you are ready to spend money wisely to bring your car back to shape, take it to Automaze, 10 Morrison crescent, off oregun road Ikeja. The car will be scanned firstly, for proper diagnosis and then perfect servicing/replacement of parts. Caveat: Labour alone is up to 10k! But warranty is assured. |

surefx: Also, if your Thermostat has been removed and your fans begin to run immediately you turn the ignition key on, then your car would definitely consume lots of fuel abnormally. Recently, my radiator got a crack and i needed to replace it, i took a street mechanic to Ladipo, and they brought one tokumboh they called 'double cell' and said it's better than the OEM 'single cell' that came with the car.(They insisted that single cell OEM version cannot be sourced any where) While mounting it, the guy said he was going to remove the Thermostat for it to work properly, and i also noticed that the fan runs on ignition, unlike my factory fitted version! I just knew that those guys are charlatans,and i told them to dismantle the radiator immediately and put back my faulty one. The next day i went to Automaze, and they gave me a brand new OEM radiator, and my ride has been cruising like brand new! |
