With the way you are enjoying this car, this one is not for sale.

GAZZUZZ:
The beauty of this car is slow moving traffic, engine has been off for over 10 mins just coasting on batteries

GAZZUZZ:
remove it and find out

GAZZUZZ:
As usual Doing my home work with carguide.

Buying Scrap is not an option.

GAZZUZZ:
Hi every one, I am really not under any obligation to share my experiences in fixing this vehicle. I said earlier, The project is a learning field, for my self and countless others who are presently reading, and those who will stumble on this thread in the future.

My mistakes, failures and success will help a DIY enthusiast/Hybrid owner/ Technician understand what to do and what not to do when similar challenges are faced.

The main person derailing this is an attention seeker with several usernames which I will not mention.

More than once he has derailed several threads which were beneficial to others.

I Initially wanted to discontinue updating, and just show the final result, but that would be unfair to the over 11,000 viewers.

The thread will continue and finally evolve into a Hybrid talk thread and will be moved to Cartalk after fixes are completed.

I will urge all of us to Remain focused and if you really want to attack me personally come at me with proper facts and figures. If you have bought a defective part from me or received bad service, open a thread and make a complain, till then let's keep this learning thread alive.

thread continues we remain focused.

Inception:
THE THREAD IS FINALLY DEAD.



ARE YOU GUYS HAPPY NOW?








FOOLS.

GAZZUZZ:
For Transparency let me talk about this vehicle.

I saw this vehicle on this Road its on my regular route when ever I go home, it is also a route I must take when going to buy most parts. www.nairaland.com/attachments/9692184_screenshot20190623121658_jpeg51006fa6a9f5c6a70eafaecaf12abef0

As a cardealer I stopped to investigate vehicle, There are a lot of great vehicle deals, just ensure you have capital at your disposal.
I inspected vehicle, Vehicle passed mechanicals and electricals with flying colours...

vehicle had the usual suspension noises that are not uncommon with Nigerian used cars.

As a standard I sent the VIN to Carguide for a quick report got a response as flooded.

now let me teach you guys 1 thing about Flooding and vehicles.

1. Avoid salt water flooding.

2. Vehicles equipped with several modules should be avoided

3. Check for rust and corrosion.

4. check for defective engine/transmission.

1/2/3/4 done all perfect. this Corolla is equipped with the following modules.

1. Engine ECU, 2. A/c module 3. Airbag ecu. These 3 modules are inexpensive and currently functional.

Salt water flooding is corrosive look at the engine bay pics, does this vehicle look Flooded? The clean title toks Corolla I sold early this month had more rust in the engine bay due to salt in snow than this car that was used in the desert (texas), If lekki was USA every vehicle there would have been certified salvage/flooded, as what they pass thru every rain is an equivalent of what a Flooded title vehicle should be.

Buying good Cars requires skill and experience, there are thousands of good Nigerian cars out there much better than a lot of toks cars, it takes knowledge and understanding to find them out.

I am held to a different standard when it comes to vehicle sales, I am yet to sell a defective vehicle on this platform.

That's that for my robust response.

Already got offer of 1.3m can I hear 1.350?

by the way, I am not consumerprotect, I wish I had the luxury of time, but who ever you are, you are doing a good job!

antagonist:

ayosamlove:

Softtoolz:

GAZZUZZ:
Now that all decarbonisation has been carried out let us proceed.
