Guys an update I should have given a long time ago. The both ACs have been working perfectly since I separated the wiring. Felt I owed it to the house and other peeps that will be looking for solution like this.


A big thanks for all your advise and inputs. Thanks a lot, Nairalanders came through for me.

This is bad and something should be done immediately!

2 separate ACs. One in the sitting room. One in the room.

Rikon:
if you have done all this thing then that mean the Ac is faulty... Return it back to your supplier plsss

I totally agree with you.... But which one is faulty. As they both work, when working alone and not when both are on.

Rikon:
OK you three phase sperately... Look for an experienced electrician tell him to draw current from the phase with wire for AC I think 2.5mm wire not sure, from the phase you always have current on it, with no additional load on the wire only the AC sperately. Thank u

I just did this today. Spent 8k to buy everything plus
225amp change over. Still not working


Even the somotex engineers suggested the same thing when they came. But it's still not working.

gAXclusive:
not an engineer but stay in island, how can i be of help?

I already said I needed someone to help change my cracked screen.

THANKS A LOT

I'm just seeing this. We're already on course to do exactly as you just explained. Work has been scoped and quotation given.

Will implement it immediately I have funds.

Please I need an experienced engineer to change my Redmi 4A cracked screen. I have gotten a new screen already.

Please engineer should be on the island, Lagos.

Thanks.

Rikon:
you see that your AC needs hmmm a sperate wire connection from your own phcn meter, without any load on it. The AC will run perfectly. Make sure you source it differently.

Thanks for your suggestion. Really appreciate it.
Now the issue is that we don't use a meter here. The Landlord claimed he has requested but PHCN are yet to supply. We just pay a fixed fee monthly.

What I actually have are wires from the pole and 3 phases were created (i.e. I have 3 phase)

So please, help me, explain further. With my situation explained above. How should I go about it. So I can effectively relay the info to my electrician.


Thanks.

My brother, that's the issue. We have no meter in this compound. 4 flats. Sharing 2/3 wires that came from the PHCN pole. I share my 3 phases with only one tenant, though.

Please guys I need your suggestion on my own AC issues.
- I bought 2pcs 1hp Split unit Midea ACs about 3 weeks ago. It came with free installation. So the sellers came to install it.
- We noticed that the both AC aren't working properly after 2 weeks of usage.
- I invited the installers again to come check it. They claimed my light was low. Checked gas and all. And concluded that the culprit is the low voltage. Adviced me to separate the two AC on the breaker, using 30amps for each. And I should buy stabilizers for each AC. WOW!
- I just bought 2 pcs of 5KVA Stabilizer, and did the breaker thing as they adviced.
- Now the ACs can work better. But they can't work at the same time. I am very confused right now. If you put on only one of the AC it works perfectly. Cools well. Immediately you put on the 2nd. The other stops cooling. Keeps blowing non-cooling air (i.e. only fan works)
- I've invited the installers again. I await their arrival next week. But I doubt they'll have solutions to this. Or I see them blaming my Voltage again.

PLEASE ADVISE ME, PLEASE

Kampack:
It's a sign that your compressor is not cooling. Normally, once a compressor picks, cooling starts! then the cool air circulating through the copper tubes condenses humid air and turns the humid air in contact with it into water droplets.


I am really suspecting that if your setting is OK, your compressor is not fully engaged due to any of the following 2 reasons, namely:

1. Poor voltage supply
2. Bad compressor which may have been damaged by poor voltage. (in this case, if you return the AC, it may not be well received, because the problem was not the manufacturer's fault. this is the major reason why many people install voltage guard (just N4k/ or stabilizer to their AC. Compressors are very sensitive to voltage fluctuations and it could damage it.) When you first noticed it, you should have acted quickly to protect the compressor.

Low gas level should be the last and least likely culprit. Very rarely for a new AC to have low gas level as a problem, even in old ACs, it quite rare and it's a sign that there is a leakage somewhere along the copper tube. If you refill gas without patching the leak, in just 48hours everything vanishes again! it must be sealed. However, in this case, I will not suspect low gas since your AC is new, except if during installation the coppper tube was accidentally cracked by a rough & careless technician.

I love your reply and how you broke it down. I am currently researching for a solution to my own AC issues that's how I saw this thread.

AC needs Gas
Used by a banker
Used by a woman

This is the one that I don't understand!!!!! Ehen if na woman use am, so

nurey:
Corolla 5.5L highway, 8L city 1.6 or 1.8L engine

Camry 6L highway, 10L city the 2.4L or 2.5L engine

You can chat me up with the number I will respond to your questions

Thanks s billion. I'll do that right away!

nurey:
This is a capitalist economy, prices are driven by market forces, if the Avalon had a 4cylinder engine, you may not be able to afford a Nigerian used it would even likely be one of the most sort after car for uber/taxify.

Fuel consumption

10L/100km highway
13-15L/100km city driving

Depending in the condition of the vehicle you could do better or worse

Thanks for taking your time to explain.

Please, I'm a learner. How many litres will a V4 Camry or Corolla use in 100km (high way and city driving)? I want to really understand the difference.

Can I save the number on your signature? So I can whatsapp you privately for any questions related to cars. Thanks in advance.

nurey:
Who told you Avalon is cheap, are you sure you did your market survey well. A tokunbo 2005 Avalon XL goes for 2.2m +, XLS is more expensive

2005 camry XLE 1.7m

2005 corolla Altis (high grade) 1.8m

07 below Avalon may be cheap but the facelift 08 upwards is expensive.

Corolla is compact vehicle
camry is midsized Vehicle
Avalon fullsize and targeted at executives so it has more luxury finesse than the remaining two

I get you now sir.

I was actually talking about the Nigeria used Avalon 03 - 06, comparing them with the price of Corolla 03 - 06 and Camry 03 to 06.

I saw a lot of cheap 03/04 Avalon on Jiji. About 100k cheaper when compared to its Camry or Corolla counterparts.

Please, this 03/04 engine 1mzfe 3.0L VVTI V6 210hp, what's it fuel conservation like?

Thanks a billion for the break down.

Please. Are the parts readily available and how is the fuel consumption.

Truth be told, I'm skeptical about Avalon. Like there's a hidden story behind the model. Why am I saying this? It's because I noticed that it's relatively cheap compared to Nigerian used Camry and Corolla. But it's finer, neater and looks far more classy. The interior looks better than the above mentioned models.

Please help me explain why this is the case.

Thanks a billion.

05-06 2GR-FE 3.5L V6 280hp

Yes all Avalon are V6 due to its designated class and target market. both engine types are solid, yes a first timer can use it as long as you feel you know how to drive a car.

Both engines are not prone to any issue. The 2grfe is an aluminium engine ensure that you use recommended oil and don't ever let it overheat if you wish to use the car a long time.

1mz engine is around 150k
2gr engine is 350k upwards.

Guys,

Please I need your opinion on Avalon 2003 to 2006?

I also noticed that all Avalon are V6! what's your view on their engine. Generally will you advise a first time user to buy?

What problems are Avalon and their engines prone to?

Many thanks.

GAZZUZZ:
Toh the thing taya me

Lol.

Why na? I'm lost sir.

I plan employing your services for the car inspection when a car is choosen. Or you don't offer such services anymore?

GAZZUZZ:
Pls explain the highlighted

Bros Gazzuzz,

Please I need your advise.

This will be my first car. I'm completely new to this.

1. My budget is 800k for a Nigeria used Camry 2003 to 2005. OR. Honda Accord 2006/2007. Which is a better option?

2. What faults should I look out for when inspecting with you?

3. What likely faults to expect when I start using it?

4. They're a lot of options on Jiji, how reliable is this source?

5. Where can I find what I'm looking for?

Thanks for the response.

Thanks man! I appreciate. Now I'm thrown back into confusion. Infact, Guzzuzz will settle this matter o!

nurey:
Any you can lay your hands on is better, the accord doesn't give issues from what I know but the parts are a bit on the high than the camry. Also when you hear any sound the accord must be attended to to avoid leg pull but my in laws accord is 12 years no leg pull even once.

Interior wise trim against trim, the accord is always higher than the camry. The camry has an XLE with fabric seat imagine.

Oga nurey I await your own advice o.

How much is OEM ball joints?

HeavenlyBang:
Use OEM ball joints. Use OEM recommended oils.

Thanks a lot. I'll take that under advisement.

weyreypey:
If you are completely new. Buy a Mercedes Benz W202 C Klasse any model and relax. With 200k more you'd get a clean toks. Do yourself that favor.

Thanks for the advise.

I'm in Lagos. I'll contact Gazzuzz.

Concerning the Accord everywhere I look there's this talk of front leg issue and oil wahala. I think gear oil. Any comments on these?

HeavenlyBang:
Camry is more reliable. But it's a really shitty, boring car, tbh. I'd buy the Accord. Get the 4 cylinder Accord.

Look for a reliable technician. Gazzuzz in Lagos, Kingreign in ABJ, Timifakay in Ibadan, OPUSDEI1 in the S/E. There's nothing you'll learn now that'll be useful to you.

Jiji is fine. Ensure custom duty was paid and all documents are in order.
