seemingly as a swap was done,this engine is not bad...albeit it's for an older model

but I'm actually worried about ur mechanic

the one that sees an i4 engine and tells u it's a v8 shocked

the earlier u sack him the better

a word is enough for the wise

enjoy ur ride

My taught exactly. The mechanic needs to be sacked ASAP. The next thing he will tell you the cars is powered with solar energy.

Please house I got a 2007 BMW 525i this week, Tokunbo from copart, so everything works perfectly, d car drove from Tin can itself to Igando side Lagos where the clearing agent side is, so the day before I came to Lagos to take delivery of my car, the agent noticed when he wanted to start the car that the car is over heating. On the screen it was writing ENGINE OVERHEATED, STOP ENGINE DO NOT OPEN HOOD........ the agent took it to one guy at my approval but that one no be BMW specialist. I changed the fan already tho, problem still persist. Who can recommend a good and expert BMW mechanic / specialist for me in Lag, I hate seeing my car touched anyhow. Especially car wey I never even drive and enjoy at all. Please house help oo.

Please the engine na big engine ooo e big gan so no mind the cost, recommend the best of the best experienced BMW mechanic in Lagos for me

If you need to drive a BMW, you need to research a lot about the ride. Especially peculiarities about your particular model. Check if there are leaks. Check if the cooling fan is working. Check if there is water in the oil through the oil dipstick. If all these are in the negative, then I will suggest you bleed the cooling system. If air is trapped in the cooling system, it can cause the car to overheat. All the best on your new ride.

Hello guys.

I'm wondering if I can get the BMW Peake SRS Airbag Scan Reset Tool to purchase from anyone/anywhere in Nigeria, or if there's anyone or an autoshop with the tool and located in Lagos?
I had to replace my worn out steering wheel, and the airbag light has been on since. Car's an e46.

Thanks.

I suspect your airbag clockspring is damaged. It's usually located under the steering wheel. A scan tool can confirm that to you.

Hello Guys, I bought a Nigeria used BMW X5 E70 two months ago. It is a 2008 model 4.8i. I have heard about the goods and bads of BMW but I also like experimenting and challenges. The ride is wonderful and drives FAST. I love all your post and enjoy reading them. I will drop the pictures of my ride later. Kindly add me to the whatsapp group. Will drop my number on the email address. I also noticed little or no postings on BMW X5 in this forum.

Car Talk / Re: Electrical Faults, Brain Box, Burnt Coil, New Engine On Nissan Moran 04 by chyka2011: 9:19am On Jul 01, 2018

Hi please I would like some professional help, I was advised to change my Nissan Morano Engine and, I did to a new one. Before I changed the engine it was developing fault and, the car was not raising (can't accelerate) the Mechanic checked and said Gear was fine, the engine is bad any way so we changed the engine so we know no major issues than electrical. So we changed the Engine.

Now the car still doesn't raise,
When we put it on it burnt two coils on the new follow come engine.
I have been through hell how come the Electrician mentioned Brain box, but we suspect the wiring is wrong as well.

But given the fact that the car never raised before we changed the engine/(the same electrician said the problem was the engine) and, still isn't raising and the electrician scanned the car nothing less than 3 times and even had to use computer to reset the car and in all this time him and his team of Electricians didn't mention any thing like brain box I want to get rid of him sharply.......

Narailanders we need professional Nissan Morano 2004 USA spec Electrical Bosses and, We need your advice.

(Subject Electrical faults, brain box, burnt coil, new Engine on Nissan Moran 04)

Thank you and God bless Us all...

I had exactly this same problem with my 2001 Infiniti QX4. The ride had issues with top gasket and after my mechanic changed it, the engine started behaving as you described above. Mechanics upon mechanics tried to fix it but to no success. Electricians were brought in and the issue persisted. I had to change the engine but nothing changed. I also changed the brain box but it did not solve the problem. The expenses in all totaled to about N800k back then in 2011 although they were being spend in small small bits. The problem I had then which is what I think you are now going through is that you love this your ride so much and will be willing to spend money in order to fix it. My final advice to you is to SELL IT and move on. Trust me, you will start sleeping well after that. My QX4 I bought N2.6 million had to be sold for N500k and I never regretted it. I wish you all the best.

I use a 307 too, nice car but I'd recommend you stand and watch anyone opening your bonnet. The components in the car are really delicate, also, the Haynes Manual for the car would show you with pictures how to fix aalmost every part of the car yourself (if you have the interest, time and energy) if you need it I could send you mine free of charge, its a pdf.
Finally, for a peugeot I think you should have your own car diagnostic kit, there's one up for sale at www.nairaland.com/931712/peugeot-owners-program-new-keys
Careful with the mechanics (the fancy dealers are no better most times)

Pls can I get the Haynes manual for Peugeot 307? chickezeh@yahoo.com

chyka2011:

Please how do I re calibrate it? What type of scanning tool should I use?
Femtopford:
If it's still good, you can re-calibrate it. IDS(integrated diagnostic software) and VCM(vehicle communication module) is the best machine to use. But there are other CAN-4 legislation machines that are applicable.

I have fixed the problem. I removed the sensor and noticed rust under it. I sandpapered out the rust and fixed it back then removed the battery terminals to reset the PCM. That fixed it.
