Alert!
Gazzuzz
Obekediamondfuto
Dannybrasky
Dipotivo
Thebigkendo
And the host of other BCD
You're all welcome on board for a renaming ceremony


Do we accept the new name?

I beg oh na guess I guess oh...

dannybrasky:
Obekediamondfuto too much wisdom and maturity full your brain. You've earned my respect big time long ago.
If the engineers dey talk I no dey put mouth lol and na only basic knowledge I get even as I be BCD

From experience,I don't think there is any state one can't buy cars from in the u.s.a if homework is being done to checkmate flooded / badly damaged accidented cars,as Flooding/ earthquake is one of the natural disasters affecting few states in America. Then putting into consideration the state you are buying your cars from and then ground transporting to the shipping port,as ground transport can cost much more than the car itself in some situation

Thanks boss

BCD - best car dealers

We dey wait

obekediamondfuto:
Rust

Salt

Thanks boss, what state in USA should one also avoid

GAZZUZZ:
will make a decision tomorrow, want to be part of the decision? Provide the following.

2005/6 sienna (round rear light)

Reasonably slightly Accidented or preferably non Accidented.

Mileage not exceeding 200k (True mileage in miles)

Non- Canadian origin

Foreign Used with 2019 custom Duty fully paid.

As usual Vehicle should be in perfect condition.

08033910382 whatsapp.

Boss is there any reason why a none Canadian origin vehicle is preferred?

This make sense

God bless Amdman

230k

Honda Civic 2008 88k miles or Pontiac vibe 2005 120k miles

Everybody is now a business man.

How many adverts of DOYIN GROUP have you seen?

The company close?

Them dey sell abi dem no dey sell?

Igbo man for alaba dey do advert.? No be to sample products for shop the remaining go dey warehouse?

If you have good market bro the consumer go locate you.
If you concerned about losing your 1.2m dont do business with someone u have never seen. I wonder how hard this could be, them still they sell motor for Berger o

Lol you Truely know little about digital marketing strategy and expanding market base in this day an age. Well you win, no point arguing.

deepwater:
It makes no difference
If u recall, the OP has said the aim of his thread is to sell cars to customers and not to prove any other thing.

3 containers loaded already, people wey buy the cars don buy comot. Dem show u container for Canada, u say u wan see container for apapa

Op for show you the container for Atlantic ocean na.

Nobody will make u believe anything, if u get money go Berger go buy motor.

Truth is that risk is not for everyone, the difference between the rich and the poor.

True, but as a business man, who want to sell affordable car to a segment of the market (1. 2m average),

To unlock it full potential, It is not unwise to employ what is known in marketing as social proofing. If I were in his shoe I want mind doing that cause it will definitely improve patronage and that will be more money for me to make.

1.2m is more of a middle class or starter budget line. Most people of the segment might have save for a long time, and would be a bit worried or concern of losing their money.

Such move can unlock that market for him.

Well what do I know, just talking as a business man

AshipaEk0:
Is your catalyst blocked or just not working?

Cos it's 2 different things.


2ndly, is the mechanic proposing to take out all of the material or just.put a hole through it?

Smart people just put a hole through



Spacer is spark plugs adapter/extender it's nothing serious like that........

it costs $3 on AliExpress btw.



Beg the mechanic to have mercy on you. To unscrew downstream sensor and screw it back on spacer is nothing special.

Them they see this kind thing buy for naija... Aliexpress be like 3 week to 1month order

9jahotblog:
the pastor too should defend himself now.

Omo this kind matter e better make him no talk oh

Boss if possible, show video of offloading first container, after e land

codemaster2much:
Dude don't waste money buying a new catalyst converter, use a O2 spacer to solve the problem

It will clear the error watch the below video


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qK92kHBzHI

In negative effect on the car engine and fuel usage?

GAZZUZZ:
iv got this extra clean camry for sale, very low mileage.

What is the mileage,

Price and

Year

nurey:
O2 spacers per unit shouldn't exceed 10k nah and you need only 1 depending on the faulty catalyst.

Also read excerpts from online on cause of the code and check those things before you dump the issue wrongly on the catalyst converter


Oxygen Sensor – The P0420 codes is thrown when the oxygen sensors on both sides of the exhaust have very similar readings. When the oxygen sensor is bad, it can cause a false reading and trigger the code. If the engine does not exhibit any of the decreased performance associated with a bad catalytic converter, it very well may be the oxygen sensor (if you haven’t noticed the performance loss yet).

Catalytic Converter – A catalytic converter is responsible for scrubbing out as much pollution as possible from the Vibe’s exhaust. Over time, they can become clogged. Although, modern catalytic converters are supposed to last the life of most vehicles, it could be there is some underlying problem if it has clogged.

O2 Sensor Wiring – Over time, the oxygen sensor wiring can go bad. It is especially volatile since it is right next to the hot exhaust at all times. The downstream oxygen sensor wiring is especially volatile since it is so far from the ECM (more distance to travel.

Vibe Timing – If your Vibe is misfiring or the exhaust timing is off, this can affect the gasses that are actually going to the O2 sensors enough to cause the P0420 code to register.

Exhaust Leak – If there’s a noticeable exhaust leak coming from the vehicle it can change what the O2 sensors register enough to throw the P0420 code.
Engine Temp Sensor – If the computer doesn’t know what the engine temp is it’ll keep the fuel mixture rich. When the fuel mixture is rich, the exhaust the O2 sensors see will be out of

Hmmmm thanks boss, I will take it to autologic for full diagonistic on Saturday before any fix

nurey:
The vibe FWD or AWD has 2 catalyst, pre cat just by the engine manifold in the engine bay, and the main catalyst under, there is an O2 sensor after the main catalyst.

Whatever route you decide to go depends on whether you will fix O2 spacer or not. The vibe catalyst have been known to disintegrate at 2xx,xxxkm

Thanks boss, the error is P0420 something about bank 1 catalyst system efficiency below threshold.

It is vibe Is a FWD,

I will use the 02 spacer option, cause the bill I got for replacement was 120k-150k

While the spacer was 10k to 20k

As long as it will not have a negative effect on the car and fuel consumption.

Searching for a place to do it, I reside in oworkshoki Lagos

nurey:
There is an O2 sensor before the catalyst and another after the catalyst. It all depends on what vehicle you talking about in particular. After catalyst removal you need the O2 spacer fixed in the straight pipe before you afix the O2 sensor on the spacer to fool the ECU and not throw the catalyst code.

As long as the catalyst code isn't detected after the bypass by the ECU fuel economy should be fine.

Vehicle is Pontiac vibe 2005

honmusa:
Rubbish!!!!! iam sure you have never heard of back pressure effect before .No matter of well you deceive the computer,absence of catalyst will will not give the required back pressure and you car will still be consuming fuel .
if your catalyst is missing you replace with another catalyst.

I wanted to know if using a 02 space fixed in and how was the fuel economy after installing

cecegorz:
Dude!
As we type now, I have a bill of over 100k waiting for me at the mechanic.
It happened that last Tuesday, the car all of a sudden started stalling with no prior incident, I managed it to the mechanic, with intermittent stop and starts on the way.
Mech swung into action after scanning, happened that the blocked cat has already created heated/broken valve, spark plugs, gaskets, distribution coil and all kinds of issues.
It took him about a week to dismantle all these and listed items for purchase and bill. I gave him 80k to commence work, on my way there now to get updates as he promised the car will be roaring back to life this evening.

I'm especially happy with the idea of using an O2 sensor spacer after hollowing out the cat and welding back as revealed in this thread. I'll discuss it with the Mech when I get there, as I can't imagine increasing fuel consumption at this critical time.

.
I wanted to know if using a 02 space fixed in and how was the fuel economy after installing

nurey:
According to you, according to known fact it does affect fuel consumption. Even I know that as one of my car has catalyst missing and the fuel consumption is greater a 2000 civic to be precise.

It's what I have experience am saying

I wanted to know if using a 02 space fixed P0420 and how was the fuel economy after installing

GAZZUZZ:
evacuate contents of catalyst first before spacing

will using 02 spacer solve error P0420? The fuel economy be worst

alstarmayo:
Don't need that "catalyst biscuit" it's the spacer I need so that it can turn off the check engine. That biscuit is useless as far as I'm concerned it won't turn off the check engine light neither will it effectively do the job of catalyst.

If you have a contact for O2 sensor spacer, please let me have it

Please did the 02 spacer fix your problem? How is the fuel consumption after ward

4llerbuntu:
the expense is not worth it in the long run, unless you can afford to buy the new one.

i've been here a few weeks ago, spent the money on a used one and the light came back on after 5 days.

worst part be say e no really get anything e dey do for you like that.

How is the effect on fuel consumption?

radautoworks:
I meant without taking the car physically to eliminate the catalytic converter as the problem you would have to do trial an error first by replacing the sensors since it's the cheaper option

Plan dropping by this weekend, what the average budget for this job

200k

radautoworks:
Could be just the oxygen sensor so replace downstream or both first. This is why we don't do remote diagnoses because we can't confirm and you may end up doing parts exchange.

What an estimate for catalytic converter replace
And how does the part exchange work.
