Politics / Re: Future Of Nigerians Mortgaged By Tinubu, Family – Atiku by Billiebaba(m): 8:28pm On Aug 22
is it clear now

CyrusVI:
cheesy

Atiku is a negativist who talks for the sake of it. All he does is Just to give plenty false allegations, illogical assumptions and silly rants

Tinubu may not have done enough to win the trusts of the masses, but going this far to make this bogus claims shitty

But then, Tinubu needs to say something about that OANDO acquisition of NNPC retail management. The news isnt clear

Car Talk / Re: How Do I Handle This Mechanic Holding My Car For 9 Months & No Result? by Billiebaba(m): 8:04am On Sep 29, 2023
jadekusibe:
The vehicle problem is very simple, you ask me how? One of 5volts sensor is grounded internally.... That is what is responsible for incessant blowing of the fuse or drain of the battery. Tell ur mechanical or electrical technical to put test light on the negative post of ur after he must have removed it from the battery terminal.... The test light will glow or light which confirmed that there is a short to ground in the wiring system of the car. He should start to unplug the sensors one after the other until the light goes off . Then he needs to isolate the sensors and wiring for fixing and repeat the test procedure to confirm the issue had been cleared. Better still reach me on my xup
You should be careful with the way you use English to vaguely explain procedures you have zero knowledge about, that’s not how parasitic drain is troubleshot

I found and fixed the elevated ground voltages, I forgot to take pictures, I was so into the troubleshooting, I forgot myself.
The vehicle recognizes the door is closed, and the vehicle is on it’s 4 legs now.

It took quite some time and energy to locate these wires, tested them, they had elevated ground voltages, I had to test the system to see if the air suspension is even working, so, I ran a ground wire to these wires, lo and behold, It recognizes the door is now closed.
Car Talk / Re: Land Rover LR4 2013, Suspension Not Raising. by Billiebaba(m): 1:25am On Jul 15, 2023
The door latch switches, are all connected to the Central junction box which is also the body control module according to the wiring diagram, it’s one thing to understand wiring diagram, it’s another thing completely to trace these wires on the vehicle itself

Car Talk / Re: Land Rover LR4 2013, Suspension Not Raising. by Billiebaba(m): 1:24am On Jul 15, 2023
After confirming that we have electrical issues, I fired up my AllData, it’s a paid online database for service information for almost all vehicles, I used it to source wiring diagram for the vehicle’s door lock system.

First thing I did was to check the vehicle with my scanner, and try to figure out in what direction should I troubleshoot, I checked the data stream for door latch switches.

If you’re familiar with Range Rover, if the door is not in closed position, the suspension won’t rise. A lot of parts has been thrown at this vehicle just to make the “door close”, but nothing happened. It was in mess, in bid to solve the problem.

I just checked the fuse , it's in the distribution box on the battery, they are all okay.
Use a multimeter and trace out the circuit one by one according to the diagram and do some voltage drop test at each section of the circuit. It might be a open circuit somewhere

Thanks bro. I have actually sorted the overheating issue. I got a new waterpump, a new thermostat and bmw coolant. Bled the system and monitored the waterpump speed with my scanner.

The issue I haven't resolved are the 2e8e, ibs (intelligent battery sensor) bsd code and 2e98, alternator: missing bsd code.
Battery volt is 12.3v, and 13.81v to 14.0v when engine is running. The engine starts effortlessly. I couldn't delete the faults codes. I'm confused.
Check this fuse out and see if it’s not broken yet

The pump can be tested, when correctly connected to a car battery. And to bleed the cooling system, turn on the heater, leg on the gas pedal for 12 seconds.
If you’ve ensured this you might actually have an issue with the cooling system, probably an hidden leakage somewhere. That only a cooling system pressure tester can expose

Good day my ogas at the top grin, PLS I need your advise, I don't know which car to choose X6 2016 or gle 450 2016..but I will love to get x6...PLS I will love to know the pro and cons of this car...is it reliable and how can I use this car without having problem using it .
They are very great vehicles, Truly Mercedes has easy access to part here in Nigeria and Technicians, that’s the only reason but if you don’t really care The Ultimate driving Machine all the way. Most importantly you should go along with a trusted technician to inspect the vehicle for you. No matter your choice.

Please I need help. My 2007 bmw X5 e70 , 6 cylinder, overheats. That's, I got the drive moderately engine hot message. It started a week after I changed the radiator. The previous radiator has leakage. I scanned the vehicle and I got the 2e8b code (intelligent battery sensor). Could this be the problem? Please help don't ignore.


Modified: I tested the water pump now. It's not working. Could it be the fuse/relay. Where is the water pump fuse or relay?
First the pump does not work on bench by just running power and ground to it, you’ll need a scan tool to turn it on, also after changing the water pump, you need to use scantool to bleed the cooling system after installing. The intelligent battery sensor, I believe it has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

Can I assume the Mercedes is double in price as per maintenance compared to the Japanese cars?
And which would you go for?
Yes your assumption is correct, as a technician who has driven these vehicles countless number of times, if i were to choose from your options, I’ll go for the Mercedes. As first timer go for Japanese cars, the maintenance won’t hurt you, and you’ll get a decent technician faster for Japanese than European vehicles. I can handle any brand though.
Car Talk / Re: Between This Two Cars by Billiebaba(m): 9:51pm On Apr 02, 2023
Basically same vehicle in terms of Powertrain, Avalon has a wider chassis, cost of maintenance is almost same.

All the listed cars are great, Mercedes has higher maintenance cost and they drive great than the others

Car Talk / Re: What Car Should I Buy As First Car ? by Billiebaba(m): 6:28pm On Mar 20, 2023
There are various options from working on these vehicles.
Camry 2012-2014 very rugged, not so sporty easy to maintain and can take serious beating
Mercedes E class very vey rugged, very sporty and well balanced not so easy to maintain, you’ll need an experienced tech to handle maintenance.
If you’re the daredevil type you can go for BMW 3 E90 or 5 series E60 very sporty and rugged too, but not easy to maintain at all, but the maintenance can be handled well.

Sure I know the fit, I do my oil change myself, it's not rocket science actually. Thanks bro. Mine is a beginner's bike, CBR 250R. Just 300cc but I'm currently negotiating with dealer to buy the CBR 1000R with about 1000cc cos I feel I'm experienced enough to handle bigger motorcycle now.
Will you sell this one, I’ll like to buy if it’s not too expensive
