andyanders: that should b primary school or whatever. Which kind higher institution or modern lecturer that will be using that kind of car in an environment like that? Maybe a school in a rural area but a University.

Modern lecturers use worse in modern universities

chakaz: cnssl wicked organisation, how can you be paying a graduate 35k while their counterparts in other states are paid 120k for the same job role under thesame mtn.

Its not wickedness, you can't compare the work an operative in Jos does to what one in Lagos does. Companies are built for profitability not for dashing out big salaries for nothing.
If they don't like the salary they can leave and start a business and see how happy they would be paying 120k per month to staff practically idling about.

At least you got rid of the problem before it could be made permanent in your life.. Just relax, you'd get someone better.

I'm in Port Harcourt, I think you should be able to get the parts from the Ladipo market, or you can call my dealer, Cycon - 08033132103 though he's here in Port Harcourt.
For the scanning, you can have anyone do it for you there, just ask for someone with Peugeot Planet 2000, either that or if your friend has a Windows XP laptop, I have my newly arrived Peugeot Scanner I want to put up for sale here soon.
It doesn't only read codes like other scanners, it can actually test various components of your car, Alert your ECU when you change various parts (e.g when I changed the ECU on my 307 the radio was beeping until someone put in the VIN of the new ECU for 5000 before I bought my own scanner), and also program new and spare keys for the 607.
Any good peugeot dealer should have the scanner and be able to check everything up for you though.

What happened to your ECU?
Have you tried running a scan on it?
Most of the time it doesnt need changing.
And what is your location?

Lovely Good luck with sales @poster

No contact details?

Ikenna351: Bypassing original connection & connecting the fans to run constantly as soon as ignition is on, because of climate? Is that what they told you, the reason for killing your engine? Climate? Hmm! The same you will go back to the mechanic to rebuild your engine soon or replace it, when it start emitting blue smoke from the exhaust, as a result of engine running cold constantly, not rising to optimal engine temp whenever the engine is running. Well, goodluck with your climate belief thing.

Mind you, your fan that died was because it was running constantly, which it wasnt designed to. So, be expecting the newly replaced one to die soon. Or maybe the 2nd one.

Ikenna.

Ikenna351: Usually, Radiator electric fans are trigered on or controlled by radiator sensor or ECU via CTS/temp sender. Peugeot use radiator sensor to switch on their electric radiator fans, while most Japmobiles use ECU to do the same. I guess yours is ECU controlled. They had bypassed the ECU connection to the fan wiring connector, for it to be constantly running. You can trace back the original/factory connection of the fans with wiring diagram, test light or if you were there when it was bypassed(by knowing the wire(s) they cut off).

When Radiator electric fan spins constantly, the engine would always run cold or it would take the engine temperature eternity to rise a little, thereby more wear and tear. If the thermostat is removed, the engine would always run cold & would always run on extreme dangerous high temperature, when the engine eventualy warms, which could blow up the head gasket.

Usually, engine will be cold every morning. For a cold engine to start, it would need excess fuel to get it started. The CTS will signal to ECU that the engine is very cold, when you switch on the ignition to start the car in the morning. When you crank the engine, the ECU (aka brainbox for Nigerians) will command the injectors to spray in excess fuel and advance timing, for the engine to be able to start. When the engine starts, it would take some or few mins for the coolant temperature to rise. As the coolant temp rises, the cts will continue to signal to ecu the graduall rising of coolant temp, which will make the ecu to reduce the amount fuel injectors spray into the combustion chambers, as temp rises. When the engine gets to optimal/normal operating engine temp (like 90 degree celsius), the ecu will finally flatened or minimise the amount of fuel going into the combustion chambers. Thus, the work of CTS (Coolant Temperature Sensor), usually located on Thermostat housing.

So, if your engine is always running cold or runs cold longer than it should (because the constantly spinning fan wouldnt let the coolant temp to rise), then your car would always be running thirsty ( consuming too much fuel) & there would be more wear & tear in the engine, since the proper lubrication of the engine has been hindered. Note that everytime you start your engine in the morning, there will be a little friction that will cause some wears on moving parts inside the engine, but would soon stop as engine oil gets warmer. But if the engine continues to run cold for a long time, the oil remains cold/thicker and there wont be proper lubrication. Hence, engine failure sooner than it should. So you see what has been happening to that engine!

If you remove your cooling system thermostat, the fluid/coolant in the engine walls wont have enough time to boil/warm up to optimal temp, before it flows/push back to radiator via the work of water pump. If the car is driven for a long time in city/traffic, the coolant/water in the cooling system would heat beyond optimal temp & wont cool off, because the fluid is continuosly flowing from engine walls to radiator. Even if the fans are contnuosly spinning, the fluid wont stay long in the radiator to be cooled off by the fans, before its pushed back to the radiator. This could lead to head gasket failure. Its the work of thermostat to regulate the flow of coolant in the cooling system. Removing it is a call for wahala. Though, it can be temporally removed and used without, if need be. But permanent removal is a call for engine replacement or rebuild.

You said your car is emitting smoke from the exhaust tail. What color is the smoke?

1. Blue smoke means your engine is burning oil (which usually is caused by improper engine lubrication, as i explained above).
2. Black smoke means exccesive fueling (one or two of engine sensors or components that controls fuelling is faulty).
3. White smoke means head gasket failure (especially when its constant).

Hope that helps or has answered your question. Or did I get you scared or confused?

Ikenna.

Hmmmmmnnnn, na wa o, there's this scary connection in my Engine I saw after I loaned my car to a friend, There is a wire coming from the Fan to the Alternator and the fan always starts running and does so continously once the engine is turned on,
I asked what happened and he told me exactly what you said earlier that he saw the Temperature at 90 and took it to "fix" the overheating.
He doesnt stay in the same city with me so I'm confused how to reverse the connection as there are so many wires in the Fan Assembly,
Any tips?

Football = 6.25% of the day wasted!

ademlabi: Budget 2.4m for 911 Mercedez Benz.

Please do you have any pictures? And is this the Total landing cost in Nigeria?

I would need a Benz 911 (Double Axle) truck, How much would that cost me?

Fhemmy please how much would it cost me to get a Mack Truck (Double Rear Axle) down to Port Harcourt?
What I need is a Benz 911 though but it seems you offer Mack more

I would need a double axle Mercedes 911 Truck Urgently, How much would it cost me?

I need a mercedes 911 truck (Double Axle) Urgently. How much would it cost me?

blink182: Why shouldn't ℓ̊ ?

The best answer you would probably get is a request for your email address.. Then most likely an attempt to sell you an e-book on "1 million best paying HYIP's"

Meritgoal: I'll not ague with you guys! Lets wait and see.

If more Nigerians had faith like this in God... It would be a better place

buzor: y is it very difficult for u to understand that your money is gone and gone forever...
<next pls>

I tire o!!! Nigerians and "magic money"

You're not expecting an accurate/honest answer right?

blink182: Please shed more light, how good are ur hyips and for how long have they been paying you.

Please I would need to buy a chest freezer, the smallest size.
Is there any dealer with specs and prices?

Me too

blink182: On that point, i know cheaper brokers that will open it for free. № deposits.

destiny10: open a cscs account that would make you to trade easily in primary and sec market of Nigeria stock ex market.
For as low as N7000, and you can start trading immediately. Most acredited brokers will charge you N100,000 N200,000 N500,000 even some above 1m. Go and do your research if you want. On N7000 acc. The commission on trading is low even if you trade million shares, you will get to be introduce to profitable shares penny,medium and blue chip.
If you have share to sell, it can be sell faster.
Enquiry call 08086009268

They now charge for CSCS accounts? I have 3 and they were all free

First inspect all your fuses visually, I'd an issue once with my car where the engine was turning too without starting, it turned out that one of the wires to the fuel pump was worn out, which made it touch the metal casing of the car and short the fuse.
I would have ended up wasting unnecesary money if I'dnt first checked the fuses.

holotee: what jeep ?

Sorry the Prado (I know we use Jeep commonly here for every SUV), there's more of Prado than Camry in the Photograph you attached.

holotee: Currently using a toyota camry 2000

Camry na jeep? U snap d jeep pass d Camry o
