Mbaise man? Avoid them

ariesbull:
Una go dey sell oil up and down without cinsidering the age and model of a car

Why sell a synthetic oil to a 2005 car... That car is 17yr old and there must be wears and tears. Synthetic oil is meant for cars less than 5 years

Sell the client High Milage oil... It takes care of old engines

I have been using synthetic in a 2003 model car for over 4yrs now. No issues. Using same in a 2005 vehicle for 9yrs now. No issue. What I know is that once you use synthetic in an engine tgat has formed sludge, kiss it good bye.

Well deserved appointment. Now they have appointed Igbo woman. Igbos are still at the fore front of criticism. Insatiable people.

Those shouting 16yrs old are people who haven't lived in Bayelsa. While in Bayelsa, I saw a 12yr old pregnant girl.

Pdp should be ashamed of itself. How can a member go around engaging in anti party activity freely. Means he is above the party. Why can't they expel him? What nonsense is this. Thank God pdp will never smell power again. What kind of weakness is this?

Not Only Nigerian Used Car, Because The Ford That Nearly Sent Me Back To Village Was A Clean Tok

all you needed to do was change the neutral switch sensor. Nothing was wrong with that transmission.

Peterlove11:
Had same issue when I just got my car about 3yrs ago, called a rewire and he removed something from the transmission side, I assumed is filter. He said it's heavily dirty and clogged, bought petrol and clean it. Have not had that issue since then. Clogged transmission filter can also cause this, and it's an easy fix.

it's not filter. It's solenoid.

ukandi1:
Acura MDX is also V6 user same with lexus RX 330.
I recommend the RX 330 for simple reasons.
1. Resale value is higher
2. Service personnel easily available
3. Engine type is either 1GR, 2GR or 3MZ. The 3MZ is very rugged and easily fixed in event of breakdown. Just avoid the GR grades. They are the strongest Toyota engines available but our Nigerian mechanics still struggle with them.


Good luck with that

No rx330 comes with 2GR or as you said 1GR. Only 3MZ. RX350 comes in 2GR

I know it can cause high fuel consumption for sure.


Try this:

Go to a good panel beater, ask him to construct a catalyst for you. If he knows his onions, he'll use nets (iron nets) to make up for it.

I suffered a similar fate last year when my catalyst was bad and it was removed. The consumption rate was mad until a mechanic told me about it and it works very well.

My engine is V6, you can understand what that means.

start preparing for a new engine

Fake reporting go bury Nigeria Las Las

God bless you. Never seen such stupidity from my people before. Everything must be turned to hate-laced victim mentality. Patrol helicopter has been hovering over Enugu. At least every Monday sit at home. These people really live or want to live in cave age. Always raising fake alarm.

Looks like a transgender now

Soludo took Peter obi to the dust bin. Ewooo

Nigerian nurses has gone to teach them how to strike

have not has

Nigerian nurses have dominated that sector and now corrupting the system. Soon you will hear the doctors in UK going on strike. The president of their association is a Nigerian.

This is a showroom naa

They can't even show the road

ZombieSlayer1:
Thanks. The ATF was changed few days ago and the old one was really dirty but I'm still getting the error code. My mechanic called a specialist and the man said the "gear brain box" needs to be changed, I don't know WTH he meant by that

the transmission has its own module. That's what they call gearbox brainbox.

Arrogant ignorance

voltron14:
Why was he claiming he bought a house for 1 million pounds when it was only 69k pounds?

Why does the man lie so effortlessly?

it's an inborn error.

Lies

voltron14:
Obi was no millionaire.

The house was 69 thousand pounds at the time and even today, isn't up to half a million pounds.

The man and Lamba.

millionaire in terms of naira.

Acidosis:
Yeah, a Senator for 12 months.

still a senator. Let's not downplay it. Tinubu was just 38 then. Obi was a millionaire by 1996. Tinubu had been a millionaire and a senator before then.

Acidosis:
Tinubu should come and name his assets in 1996. 99.9% of assets owned by Tinubu were acquired post 1999. After the forfeiture of his drug proceeds in Chicago, Tinubu had nothing. Everything he owns today are at the expense of Lagos state indigenes and residents.

this is mere stupidity. Tinubu was a senator in 1992.

Rotepim:
Pls I am an issue with honda accord 2008, 4 cylinder.

Was driving when suddenly, it stopped on the road , it cranks on each trial , but engine wont start.

An electrician and mechanic were called.

Discovered fuel was getting to the engine meaning the fuel pump was ok.

Checked/Tested the spark plugs with the ignition coil and discovered that there was no sparks at the plug head.
Suspecting it was a current issue.

All other sensors connection that was seen still looked connected.

We suspected brainbox, we brought another brainbox , called someone to program the brainbox. The car started, tried moving front and back, the car moved . BUT THE DRIVE GEAR KEEPS BLINKING.

The brainbox programmer said its because the last serial digit on the new ECM was not exact.

So pls I want to know-
- if the problem is really the brainbox or should another electrician check for something else?

-Can the old brainbox be fixed?

-How much is cost of Honda Accord 2008 brainbox (pple are telling me 170k, which I think is expensive)?

-Finding the exact brainbox has been difficult in PH, what guarantees do I have on brainbox brought from outside the state (Lagos,Onitsha).

Pls help

send me your VIN and I can get you an estimate of the exact ECU with correct part number.

Mysmartnetwork:
how much did you buy it

$420 excluding shipping. Alternatively only the plastic impeller housing can be changed if the pump actually didn't fail but only leak as a result of a crack in that plastic.

sexyto:
BTW your 535i and the Avalon which is more fuel economical?

the Avalon. Just a bit.

sexyto:
That's really great, I hope the engine will be quiet.

very quiet and smooth.

sexyto:
The idle is at .6,is not too low? Or is that ideal.

that's normal. Idles smoothly. My Avalon is same too.

Note that I'm now on 217k miles. Got it at almost 200k miles.
This talk about reliability is really for people who do not know how to maintain their vehicles.
I can wake up at 3am and decide to hit Asaba without fears.
Some of your so called reliable cars will not dare.
How many Japanese cars in Nigeria are over 200kmiles without Christmas lights all over their dash?

impressive to see another BMW instrument cluster devoid of Christmas light. Below is mine.

kingreign:
Honda does white and blue mostly, VW does blue mostly, Toyota does White mostly

Na that stupid yeye South African spec Corolla and avensis Dey carry that orange gauge

every car manufacturer has its own identity and style. I really don't understand this hatred on this thread. Maybe there is more to it. What you find irritating may appeal to vast majority of people. Never seen any review that complained about those lights.

kingreign:
Only a maniac will buy this horrendous piece of sh*t for even 1m especially when it’s parked for long as I can tell. The owner wan transfer his frustration on one gullible greedy Nigerian.

you sound so bitter. Why?

Mysmartnetwork:
Please anyone that has this water pump for sale should let me know needed ASAP

if you want to enjoy that BMW, get a water pump for your model with aluminium impeller housing. All these oem with plastic impeller housing always crack. I got one recently.
