Hello everyone, please come to my aid. I drive a Nissan Maxima 2010.

It suddenly started overheating in January, I replaced the radiator, no changes, I replaced the thermostat, no changes, I replaced the water pump, it has only gotten worse. My mechanics don't know what to do anymore.

Has anyone experienced similar problem? What could be the underlying cause?

The car overheats within 5 minutes of driving but can be on idle for 25 minutes without overheating. I'll appreciate your responses.

Hello all!

I'm dedicating this thread to owners of Audi and Volkswagen models. There would appear to be a gap in the Nigerian Auto Industry, with regards to correct repair, diagnosis, service and general maintenance of these cars. I would like to try addressing these issues, as much as I can remotely, from a distance. I don't promise to always get it right, I can but try. Of course, the more details you give, the better.

Bosses in the house, I greet.

I want to ask if you can help me identify the year of the Passat.

The seller claims it's 2004 and that it is direct Belgium(I no believe)

Are these cars reliable daily drivers compared to a Golf 4?
The seller is asking 1.7 for it ( Negotiation has not occurred, just his initial price)

kingreign:


Nissan has many CVT fluid, which specific CVT fluid did you use?

mrcoolautofix:
I am not surprised, but what got me scratching my head is, Volkswagen Jetta 1.6L natural aspirated engine Runs like a mad dog, so I really can't understand how & why?

On the other hand I refuel this car days ago, & I have been driving around Town & my fuel guage just keep steering at me like, are you surprised?

I ain't going no where bro... so it's amazing 8.4L per 100km on highway you can get more mpg with the manual transmission even way better than Corolla 1.8L 2003 to 2006 which is 8.4L per 100km on highway I think Volkswagen jetta hits hard, it even better with 1.6L engines equipped with air pump.. better horsepower less fuel consumption..

ravensckar:
Scam! Na you dey use your left hand message your right hand. We know that format.

Chevron format don cast, na this one you wan resort to. I thought you said the car is 2.6m? How come you want to sell for 2.2m? Inconsequential middle man wey dey quote 'Dollar economy'.

'If I vex, I'll sell for 3m'. Yeye! Chest beating, grand standing and delusional grandeur of the highest order! That your car na 1.8m you go sell am las las.

Felicity001:


Oga if you no get money hide your face... Firstbody car is not for you.

Leave am like that I no dey paint am

Felicity001:
This car was bought brand new i.e tear rubber by Chevron and well maintained.

4 cylinders sound engine
Gear is super sharp
Body is 100% first body never been painted for once not even the fenders or numbers.
No accident history
Suspension is excellent
Neat fabric interior
AC chills very well even in this current hot weather.
Catalyst intact.
Mileage is just 100,000km


Things to fix:
1. Since body is first body paint new owner may have to oven bake it.

2. The side mirror casings will need replacement

3. That cover for the gear stick beside the hand break, I honestly don't know the name... Will need replacement.

4. The roof upholstery may need replacement because it has drop a little.

5. You may need a new car battery or charge this very well

6. The car remote needs attention

Hello Bosses and Gurus in the house, i need your help to get my car back alive an INFINITI FX45 2006. I got into an accident and had a few parts changed as well as body work mainly. After all the recognised damaged parts has been changed it became very sluggish and nothing even happens no matter how hard or log you hit the gas pedal. I had it scanned and the guy only told me something about the VB (Sensor), Airflow meter(Sensor) and Injector Mouth Sensor (not sure what this is or if i am correct) which was changed as part of the damaged parts. After a lot of research i figured there is something called Limp Mode and may be the issue. I dont have the codes and the electrician i called over to Scan told me he cant remember the exact codes so i may have to have it scanned again to get exact codes. I live in Lagos (Mainland) and would like to get recommendations and advises as well as a good Electrician / Mechanic. I've spent a lot on this car to give me issues now. Please help bosses.
