The moderator of this auto section is a cheap criminal who only does the bidding of these greedy animals. Gazuzz good will never come your way. And for the mod who banned me, may you remain a nairaland mod for the rest of your life, and may your children take over from you. There’s no hope for a better Nigeria with disasters like you. You can’t suppress my voice, you can delete my comments on the stupid thread the conman gazuzz created. This is what happens when criminals feed you.

I wasn't wrong BTW. It had its motor replaced and the new motor has 112k miles. The mileage was a lot higher. Read the bottom of your report. Since some people still want to keep telling me to hush when I don't know what I'm talking about.

So am I owed an apology by everyone Dbossmanager? What say you Lienn, Gazzuzz, Newbreed2018, J0hnTrevolt?

Anyway op, same yourself some headache and just post VIN reports and/or car inspections too. You'll be able to get more for your cars.

Current mileage as stated by private owner:

@ Trygo, sorry to derail but I need your opinion. A close friend of mine wants to change his current car and there are four choices so far ie 2005 Camry, 2008 Camry, 2007 Honda Accord & 2008/10 Honda Accord though his main choice is the Camry muscle but I have reservations about it because of the inferior quality of the dashboard and I’ve heard stories about its engines. He’s targeting Nigerian used of any of these vehicles V6 or I4. Thanks once again

In some climes, or circumstances, it would be best to replaced an engine, that has finally gone caput, on a highway, where the risks to you, and your vehicle, isn't guaranteed.

Take for instance, you're driving through one of the unsecured roads in the country, and suddenly, your vehicle's engine suddenly breaks down due to engine mechanical problems (seizures, for example).

Assuming, the costs of getting the engine repaired on a particular section of the road, is at most the cheapest options available to get that car back on the road. But because of the risks(bandits, or terrorists) to your life and that of the mechanic, you'd preferred to spend that extra cash purchasing another engine and installing it immediately(though might be expensive).

Today, we'd be delving into the world of engine rebuilds, and most especially, to negate the common myths car owners usually have about such rebuilds, never lasting for awhile (sustainable).

The vehicle in question is a 4Runner V6, with the engine costs running close to a million naira.

                     
                        CASE STUDY

VEHICLE: 4RUNNER 2004, TRD
ENGINE TYPE: 1GR-FE
TRANSMISSION SYSTEM TYPE: AUTOMATIC

CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS: 
1. Excessive engine consumption
4L/week

2. Frequent spark plugs replacements on cylinders #5&6

3. Severe engine misfires while idling

4. Noises at the valve train also when idling

5. Engine loss of power, and visible smoke from the tailpipe.

6. Customer complained of a P0016 code

7. Complained about engine oil dropping down to the sump immediately, at every cold rest.

OUR DIAGNOSIS/DISCOVERIES
1. Simulated all of the customers complaints

2. Retrieved stored codes, P0305 and P0306, which confirmed those cylinders were misfiring badly.
Those spark plugs were removed and was seen to have engine fouling on them, while other spark plugs were OK (firing perfectly).

3. Checked all necessary components that could cause oil shortages or burnings (valve cover gaskets, crankshaft oil seal, flywheel seal and the timing cover for signs of leaks.
There were no leaks.

This led us to understand that the oil shortages was something internal, and not external, as the case maybe!

4. A vacuum hose connected to the intake manifold through the fuel voltage regulator was broken.

THE FIX!
1. Got the engine removed, after all electrical accessory connections/connectors were removed.

2. Got the engine properly timed to TDC, and had the timing components marks on the dual DOHC marked using white marker.
This helps to avoid ambiguities, during installations, etc.

3. Here's the tricky part of the job.
You got to be able to identity exactly on which cylinder banks, cylinders #1 is located.
Being able to decipher that, would help you know which cylinder numbers what piston goes to.

4. Disassembled the entire engine, to ascertained the level of damages that has being done to the internal parts.

Results of disassembled engine parts as follows:

*Piston rings on both cylinder numbers 5&6 had excessive clearances, more than allowable limits.
All the compression and oil rings were clearly out of tolerances.

The pistons on those cylinders were already slapping against the cylinder walls, hence one of the noises from the car.

* Connecting rod bearings had signs of scouring on them(that's like some scratches to say).

* All three timing chains were slack(source of another noises).

* One of the intake/exhaust camshafts auto tensioners, had a broken part.

* The oil pump strainer was half way blocked.
This would cause the engine, especially the valve train area, to be starved of oil supply.

* A lot of metal broken parts were seen in the oil sump or bottom plate.

5. All parts on the car was replaced with genuine new parts.

* All three timing chains

* All valve cover gaskets

* Piston rings, and connecting rod/crankshaft journal bearings

* Crankshaft oil seal, flywheel seal

* Oil pump rotors

Honestly my brother
I didn't just want to go into that area
I have also shipped in cars
I have seen same op selling cars higher than normal valued price because his source maybe different, but no one opened a thread, when they sell cars at higher amount they don't open thread, but they don't want anyone to sell cheap. The word CHEAP here is subjective, what may satisfy Mr A as profit, may not satisfy op as profit. That does not mean Mr A sold it cheap. Supply source varies and affects the prices of final sales. Lower sale prices may have nothing to do with fraudsters as being portrayed here but the contact you have and information. If i am quick to get info on distress sale, i can sell cheap because i got it cheap, reason i said alot of factors are involved in my earlier post & not necessarily fraud.

GAZZUZZ:
The prices of very popular cars on most auction sites in the usa sky rocketed in recent years, the use of stolen cards at auctions made it very easy for fraudulent individuals to target cars that are easy to sell, buying at unfavourable prices at auction and selling for peanuts before or after they arrive the shores of Nigeria.

With the FBI'S big bust recently and copart changing payment policies we should expect a more favorable playing ground for car sales where competition is driven by demand and supply and not the availability of stolen funds .

letout:

And you’re naive not to notice that I never posted the VIN

Cosplay:

Interesting.
Both vehicles you recently advertised had flood damage salvage titles.
Both also had the same export date.
Your lies will find you out.

iboboyswag:

Oga Voltron... where did you see VIN number to use in generating a report?
In doing business, try to maintain a sense of decorum.

OfficialSam:



Just hear yourself. You sound confused, so you are the dummy here. Let me school you a bit. Durability is used to qualify a car, and not strength or being 'stronger' as you implied.

I don't understand why folks who are not fans of Toyota will always bash and abuse others for their choices. Always claiming that Toyota fans are broke, as if it's easy to own a car in this hell called a country. I know of a few wealthy folks that owns flirt of cars that are all Toyota/Lexus models, and would not buy your German machines for peanuts. It's not about being financially buoyant or not. It is just a choice. Most families have various brands, but will still own at least a Camry or Corolla as their back up plan. Some people have issues trusting other brands because their first car served them well, hence they rather continue purchasing it till the end of time. It's called peace of mind.

my friend make we hear word with you N400k toyota, we nor go hear word again, small thing you go, insult people, as if say nah you get mouth pass with your cheap skills.

AmoloPatrick:
Mr Cosplay I'm a well cultured man and I'm clean when I do my business I'll say you did a very good job finding this details for me, to be honest I didn't buy the car from any Insurance company over there but directly from the owner abroad and all details provided to me by him never showed this report you provided as I and my bro actually bought it in person as I speak to you have contacted my brother who's still in the state to take the matter up with him. And I'm really sorry cos he just spoiled my reputation have built so far and am not taking it likely
