Car Talk › Re: My Shocking Experiences With Fuel Pump Attendants. by adubam(op): 3:51pm On Dec 23, 2021
BornToSucced:
I once went to Total Filling Station in Gbagada to fuel my car for 5k, but I was surprised when the old woman (almost 40) working as a Fuel Attendant arrogantly stopped the meter at 4,900. I asked her why? With her full chest, she said the 100 is her chop money. I was confused, annoyed, and dissapointed at the same time.

I told her to complete my fuel or else I would deal with her. And if she needed a tip, she should have asked me politely.

She grudgingly completed my fuel, and keep saying the money is nothing.

It wasn't the money that was my problem, because I tip when I can. But the way she went about it was so arrogant.

Please watch out for those fuel attendants.
So annoying. The managers of those fuel stations are milking us via adjusted meters and the attendants they false us to part ways with our hard earn money. So people with entitlement mentality.

Car Talk › My Shocking Experiences With Fuel Pump Attendants. by adubam(op): 2:36pm On Dec 23, 2021
So I went to an NNPC fuel station today at Central Area Abuja today and opted to use the POS machine since I would be buying full tank and would not know the total amount to fill the tank.

The fuel attendant told me the he would need us to make an attempt on the machine with an estimated amount to know if the machine would work. So I told him to try 8K but he insisted 9K I had about 3k fuel in my Toyota Camry so I forced him to try 8k and luckily the machine worked.

His plan was to take a higher amount so that I would leave the rest to him but I sharp eye. He started vibrating that "we big men" don't like to give that given brings blessing bla bla bla. The guy nearly insulted me - " he was amaze at my " stinginess" - The thing shock me. They just want to collect by all mince for Christmas.


The one I went to before this one just quickly wiped all the transaction and told me my bill was 9500 naira. I saw in the meter that it was 9433.33. I just allowed her because I don't want problem.

If this people hold gun they would rob person.

Please share your experience.

Thanks.

Good afternoon experts in the house, pls I have a nissan versa 2008 model, I noticed about 2 weeks ago that d oil had leaked out overnight so I called a mechanic, we discovered it was from the fuel filter cos it was lose, we filled the oil and tightened it but once we started the engine, all d oil gushed out, we've changed d filter about 5 times now and it's doing d same thing. D mechanic has tried to check everything thing he knows but no luck at all. Once we start d engine, oil will gush out and waste away from d filter point. I'm getting frustrated cos d car is my source of income and I'm extremely broke right now. Pls sirs, could u tell me what could be wrong

I have been following this piece right from page one, took me 2days to arrive at the 57th.

Truth is ,I'm really fed up of this country called Nigeria. As the eldest in a family of 5 issues, I am going into depression every single day owing to the fact that I see no escape route from the wretched and poverty-stricken home am born into.

I can only boast of 60k which is my home and abroad like we call it. If I can get someone that can help me with accomodation and any menial job in any of our neighbouring countries ( excluding ghana), I'm always ready to migrate.
I don't mind leaving before Christmas, this is to tell you how serious and determined I am.

I'm open for ideas guys.
Use that 60k buy Nigeria used bike(Bajaj) hustle and get more money. If not you go suffer like the biblical prodigal son.

Original Mobil 1 for 20? If you see it for that price I'll buy from u for 25k

The funny thing is that you are still not correct though, no offence. Lexus ES is samething as the Camry of that year from 1990 ES up to 2012 ES. ES just share more parts with a V6 camry exactly the same thing.
Engine, shocks, spring, transmission, shaft, bearing, compressor etc. So no special ES parts except for interior
I'm currently using a Lexus Shocks for my 1999 Camry. No much difference in price

U don't wait till timing belt start to fail before replacement cos it might not even give you warning before it will snap and cause u more expensive repair .Best bet ,check your owner manual for the recommended mileage that the vehicle must have covered that will necessitate changing the timing belt .
The car would be lagging at kick. It would not roll the engine quicker like before. You might even think you had a weak battery.

finally bro, does corolla 2004 to 2009 drives better than the camry 1999. e.g in terms of cruising, driving experience, turning, steering, AC et.c
Guy this you question hard oo , and come put "finally". grin. Well. It's good to compare cars of the same age. The Camry of those age performs better than the Corolla of that age in terms of Power, Stability on high speed, Air conditioning, Interior and spacing.

Camry 1999 can also compete with Corolla of that range except the for the shocks. The AC is better than Corolla of that age, the handling is also good. The V6 and XLE of Camry 1999/2000 beat the Corolla of that age in almost everything. What I did when I acquired Camry 1999 was to replace all the Shocks with that of LEXUS. The experience of the car after that change was second to none.

Camry 1999/2000 is a good car but if you can take care of this 3 major issue the more the enjoyment:
1. The shocks and suspensions - Replace with, Avalon, or better still LEXUS
2. Timing Belt - Get Original Belt and also replace the pulley.

Note: The v6 of Camry 1999/2000 does not have timing belt issue - It uses timing chain.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot bro.
But considering the age/yr of manufacture. Will a Nig used pen. cam still be of worthy service in this age and time. No time to be a friend of mechos
Which age and time are you talking about. Most of the aeroplanes we use in Nigeria are over 35 years and they are still flying. The problem we have in buying Nigeria used cars are the buyers think that once it has been used by a Nigerian then it would have been badly used and the price will have to drop. I prefer buying a neatly Nigeria used car with sound engine for 1.3 million than to buy a foreign used for 2.7m. After 3 years I can still sell my Nigeria used car with the engine still intake and neatly used by me for 1.8m gaining 500k. But I assure you that no matter how careful I used A foreign car of 2.7m after 3 years I will sell it for about the 1.6m - 1.8m loosing about 1million naira. Who wise pass?

The diff is much.
52 (2.2L engine/Camry) -40l (1.8L corolla) = 12Litre diff....
That's a lot in my opinion for the same journey
In the long run of the usage of the car, you'll still spend more in other areas of that 1.8L car than someone who has pencil light. Corolla engine is about 370k while Camry 2.2 is about 180K. Parts of Corolla of that year is higher than Camry of that year. Consult your financial expert for detailed analysis. You can gain ALL in any brand of car

It's not an argument. You made a false allegation against me and I have all the rights to deny and ask you to prove that I did it and you're claiming not to argue.

Please, provide a screenshot of my number dialed on your phone showing the call logs and between you and I

Fact: I am a married man with kid, I also have other responsibilities and job outside nairaland and car businesses. Nobody has ever complained that they called and I didn't answer as long as it's within 7-9:30pm.
If I see a missed call I call back or send an SMS to apologize for not picking that call or delay in calling back.

I still challenge you, pls provide proofs by screenshotting call logs between you and I.

I await your reply.
Thanks in advance for providing these proofs.


Shocker alert: the person you quoted and labelled me in a disapproving manner spoke to me on Saturday, we met and I helped him out with diagnosis.

Hope you are now alright?
Check your phone history and look for the number that ends with ****66184. You picked and said call me back in 5 minutes and when I called your phone was switched off and you never called back. Mind you before I could get to you was always on phone switch. Just applogise and move on. I have already moved on.

This is totally untrue. There's no time you call me that you won't get me as long as it's between 7am-10pm. Heck, within those periods of time, when I get a flash or missed call, I call back with my own airtime.


How many times have you called me that I don't pick or call back?

What time of the day do you call me?
I won't argue with you.
