Car Talk / Re: Peugeot: Cars With Attitude! by dadejola: 2:07pm On Apr 09, 2016
Hi Ikenna, I'm so glad to come across this post. My friend has a Peugeot 407 and has been having issues with the engine and some noise from the tyre. I recommended we talk to a Peugeot specialist in order to avoid further damages and unnecessary extra costs . Please I will like to reach you and seek for your advice on the car and possible repair places in Lagos.
Please, My email is smilish20072007@yahoo.com. Can you kindly email me your contact details so we can further discuss.
I will really appreciate your help as we've been looking for Peugeot specialist for a long time.
Thanks.

This thread is for Lion owners, aspiring owners, Lion admirers and friends of Lions (former Peugeot owners).

If you are having any issue(s) with your Lion, you can seek for help here on how to sort it out. Someone might have a soluton to the nightmare the Lion is giving you.

We can as well post our experiences with our various Lions; both unhappy and happy ones.

Sometime early this year, very close to my office, I saw a 505 V6 packed in an "under Mango Tree Mechanic workshop". I went there and asked for the owner, for i wanted to see and know another fellow that own such a rare car like mine (505 V6) in Abuja. I was told the owner dropped the car over a week with them and the car was yet to be fixed. I asked what was wrong with the car, the mechanic became uncomfortable why my interest in the car and why i wanted to see the car owner. I explained to him that I own the same version of the 505 which is rare in Nigeria and I would like to know the owner, thats all. Well, he tried to explain to me what was wrong with the car, but he wasnt making sense. So I asked him to allow me to see the engine bay. When he opened the hood, I was shocked! Nearly all the vacuum lines were cut off from their various terminals. Weird! Well, i then asked him to start the car, when he did, i saw what or how the engine was behaving and knew right there the issue: an injection issue. A lot of things were wrong in that engine bay. No matter what the mechanic would tried to do, that issue must remain there, since all he explained to me he had done or replaced had nothing to do with the issue the car was having. In fact, he was creating more problems with his trial and error for that engine. He even replaced the MAF and installed the wrong part number (Luckly, I know the part number off head, since I have a similar car, with identical engine). I tried to get the owners phone number from him, but he wouldnt give me. Instead, he asked me to drop mine, that he would give the car owner whenever he comes, to call me. I made a note on the paper i gave to the mechanic to give to owner where i wrote down my number, explaining reason why i would want to meet with him, believing that the mechanic wouldnt understand what was written. I left them, after i realised that my presence there was no longer welcomed. As suspected, the owner never called because the mechanic would not have given him the note; fear that i want to collect chop from him! For another 3 more weeks, the car remained there at that workshop each time i passed there. At a point, I even forgot about it. 2 months later, i remembered, went back to check and the car was no longer there. Could be that the owner has towed the car to another workshop or only God knows what has happened to that car. This was a car I would have fixed that for person less than 24hrs, without a dime, if i had met him. There is no injection and ignition issue of 505 V6 i cannot fix myself. I have studied and mastered every wire from the 2 ECUs to various sensors, by knowing the function of each wire, sensors and components in that engine bay. I could tell quickly what is wrong with that EFI system and what the culprit would be with a little test with multimeter and test light. I dont need any scanner to diagnose and fix Bosch LH 2-2 Jetronic (EFI system of ZN3J - the PRV V6 engine in 505 V6). I couldnt help the guy because he was unlucky. If we had met in nairaland, he would have been saved from the hands of that clown that was killing the car when i went there. Possibly, he may have scrapped the car by now. Because there is no way that car would run properly with the condition i met it that day. So many wrongs were done in that engine bay.

Lets share our problems here in this thread and possibly get help from ourselves in keeping our Lions on the road as long as it takes.

Ikenna.

Hello people, so I have my admission letter from Saint Marys University. I have a couple of questions and I plead with you guys to help me clarify my concerns

1.No one here has mentioned Saints Marys University.Seems people are not interested in the school. Any particular reason for this?I ask because studying abroad is a huge investment and I no wan enter one chance with a bad school ooo.I do not know anyone in the school else I would have asked for their experience. I would appreciate any useful info I can get

2. My passport expires march 2017, my msc program is scheduled to end December 2016. Should I desire to stay back and work if I am lucky to get a job. Will this expiry date be a hindrance?Do I need to get a new international passport?

3.How much is required in my sponsors SOA to get a student Visa?My school fees is $32000 excluding accommodation and feeding, and I have two younger ones.

Any useful info would be much appreciated, many thanks
