Car TalkRe: Your Advise On Buying A 2015 Ford Focus by calculation(m): 2:49pm On Dec 06, 2025
Lalapie:
Hello everyone, Car section has been a place of great knowledge for me over the years which is why I’m seeking your opinions on this step I’m about to take.

I have been on the lookout for a fuel efficient car and after so many months of searching for a Toyota matrix, Honda civic and Hyundai Elantra, I was not able to see any that meets my criteria of sound engine, clean first body and perfect gear second hand.

I finally saw a 2015 ford focus that ticks all the boxes, car is as good as brand new. I have inspected the car and all components are in perfect condition including the dreaded DCT gear that has lots of complaints.

I am contemplating paying for it already but thought to seek opinions before going ahead. I need your advice please, is 2015 ford focus a good buy?
Pls sir,avoid it for now. I am not saying it is not a good vehicle but in term of technical support from our local mechanics is scarce.
For that toyota matrix, there is one I saw that look sound and I can check for you if you have interest

Good morning everyone, I scanned my 2009 Honda Accord EX 2.4L K24Z3 engine with an OBDII... These are the results. Prior to that I noticed that my car had poor acceleration especially when I turned on the AC. Along the line it started burning my AC compressor. I got tired and decided to forget about the AC, but now I want to fix the AC coz of the dry season. Now I noticed my car consumes fuel, and also has low compression. Please guys what can I do to fix these problems
Some naration is missing.
Do you or someone in the past work on the engine?
Was the vehicle bought Nigerian used?
How do come to conclusion that the engine compression is low with out test result.

Based on your complain above and scan results, there is problem within the timing system. If you have sound technical mechanic, proper check need to be carry out on engine.
AutosRe: Which Should I Go For: Toyota Rav4 2008 V Hyundai 1x35 2013/2014 by calculation(m): 2:42pm On Nov 11, 2025

Hello gurus Niaralander,

Please I need your advice
I want to get a car within the week and I already seen Toyota rav4 2007/2008 and hyundai 1x35 2013/2014 both are v4, both Nigeria used but hyundai 1x35 was bought new by the current owner. I love both the cars but I needed just one.

Please which do you advice I go for?

Thank you as I really need this advice to proceed.
RAV-4 will be my choice. The one with most recent year should be the better, in this case 1x35, but Hyunda part with that model year will be too cost and lack of mechanics for repair is another issue. So choose RAV-4.

I plan to install additional transmission cooler for my ride. It is a very cheap piece but it can extend the life of the transmission by ensuring it runs at cooler temperature range which is usually between 195 degrees Fahrenheit to 210 degrees Fahrenheit.

Since I just recently changed the transmission fluid and the cooler installation requires transmission fluid replacement, I'll wait for another 4k miles before carrying this out.

Fingers crossed 🤞
I suggested this to you sometime ago when you had issue of transmission temperature high during your journey outside your base.

Good afternoon bosses.

For a first time buyer which would you recommend between a foreign used Es 330 or Nigerian used 2013 Camry, or ES 350, which other options can I consider? Budget is #8m
Consider the bolded option, if you can increase your budget.

First one started I changed sensors and it still showed same code, I changed ecm and it showed lean codes. Pls anyone in Lagos that can fix this for me 2011 highlander 2gr
First check your oxygen sensor heater status if okay, then proceed to check voltage reading when engine is in operation under close loop. If reading are perfect, suspect your vehicle wiring from the sensor to the ECU. There might be some point without good electrical contact.

That is my take.

Isn’t there some tech hardware and software to plug and play and run a diagnostic test on the car engin to check status of every connected parts? Just wondering? 🤔
It is not like you think. Some require experience or technical knowledge, to use device to analyse for judgement of the engine conditions

Hydronium:
Doesn't seem like a popular/easily accessible choice around. Mind sharing why it stands out for you? And perhaps provide a second choice
That vehicle may look not common, and it was due high rise in cost of vehicle in Nigeria. Let me tell you, the vehicle is great and easy to maintain. No much complex module rather basic. That K24 engine was already in use since 2002 and review shown that it performance was great, though they were not the same, just with little variation due area of application.

If you want other suggestion, then you will need to state you features that you want in vehcle, so as to state other option.

Fieryblaze:
Hi everyone, I have a 2015 Mercedes ML350. The car was working normally, then last night it just wouldn't engage gear, it just revved, called the mechanic and he came and said the sump seal was bad. We fixed the leakage, called someone to reset the EGS.

But here's the issue:
The car still wouldn't move unless the mechanic uses his scanner to force it by probably bypassing the EGS or something.

The error code is "UD426"

The mechanic is saying I need to replace the entire EGS but I don't trust his judgement

Anyone here dealt with this before?
Looking for someone who understands how to do the proper TCU or transmission adaptation on these Mercedes models.
The OBD-II code U0426 on a Mercedes-Benz indicates a communication error between the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Vehicle Dynamics Control Module, specifically related to invalid data received. This often points to an issue with the immobilizer system or a fault in the communication network.

On this forum, any talk concerning 20W50 always received talk down from you due to bad effect on modern engine. Why do you want to promote this viscosity of oil 15W50? To me, all your talk is to promote sale of what you sell. To your question, DON'T bring it because that is not what you preach.

Thank you so much, have been searching for this particular ECU number but I couldn’t get it in the market.
But they recommended 37820-R1V-Y55 for me.., can you advise me on this
You can go for it. It is a match for that your ECU.
Pls Note that, what the seller is selling is used and yet to confirm ECU. It is your duty to negotiate for return if it doesn't work because it is not brand new and there might be a problem from donor vehicle. If all things work well, then it will fit fir your civic model.

DrCassidy:
Hello, please, my VW Golf 4, Mode 2007 with VIN: 9BWEL2IJ374010871, has a gear problem. It is not able to be select/transmit properly with ppor acelaration, and the initial scan pointed to solenoid problems, which was changed, but the problem persisted.
I changed to a new Belgium gearbox twice, yet the same selenoid problem persisted at each attempt.
Further assessment by an electrician revealed it might be a gear brainbox problem. I have been faced with the challenge of getting a brainbox that will match the car/gearbox. Each brainbox tasted so far revealed different selenoids, 3, 4, and 7 open circuits when scanned. For example, the last brainbox used showed selenoid 7 open-circuit.
My original brainbox part number is 01 M927 733 MR.
Kindly help me with the brainbox code to match the new Belgium gearbox.
Thank you so much as I await your response.
Cassidy.
I will update you later
