GAZZUZZ:
In the Nigerian setting there is no smoke without a fire.

Older cars tend to have overheating issues because of a wide range of environmental and maintenance factors.

The cooling system is originally supposed to run on coolant, and not water.

When water is used in a cooling system for a long time, the system gets contaminated and starts to corrode.

Parts in the cooling system made from aluminum begin to wear off and the radiator gets blocked, rust is introduced and in a space of 1-2 years a perfectly functional foreign used car starts to overheat in nigeria.


Now this same scenario would also occur if coolant is not replaced at the right intervals. For the record coolant should be drained every 100,000km or 66,000 miles. (Ignore the Americans they just working with warranty) failure to do so, same results would occur to the cooling system.

Our Nigerian technicians response to overheating is suppression of the symptoms, which is to bypass the functioning of the fan, making it run steady and removing the Thermostat which ensures fluid flow from the radiator to the engine without a buildup of heat.

some times car owners take their functional cars that did not have any overheating issues to the technician and the cooling system is modified. The belief system is that that is what is best for the engine in nigeria.


As a rule, when clients come with fans running directly, I try and retrieve a history of when and how long ago the procedure was done.

I Inspect pipe joints to see how far corroded the aluminum parts of the engine have gone, then based on the information I have, I write a long list of parts to be replaced, before corrective wiring and Thermostat installation can be done.

please note: a rubber hose with high pressure water or coolant on a corroded aluminum fitting will leak at the joint especially when the temp of the car hits 96-100deg Celsius this in turn will cause overheating.

If a client is not ready to replace radiator and corroded parts (if any) and return to factory coolant (not Abro or total or any green winch) I will not take the job! And will advice he leaves his system the way it is.


Now back to your last quetion.

There is a part called the ambient temp sensor mounted in front of the condenser , right behind the front Grill, it is either disconnected or missing. Replace it and you will get the proper readings.

play safe every one, better to have a running engine, than a dissatisfied client with a burnt gasket.

Oga gazzuzz , please which green coolant is original and reliable.. And how can I get it
. I don't live in lagos

Hi everyone, I have to narrate my ordeal to you all. I'm really suffering here and I'm very sad at present. No one knows this cuz I'm always jovial. Seriously I suffer a lot!

I can't even recall when I started watching porn but this week will make a complete 2 years that I have been masturbating. I felt this kind of regret when it was a year too. Please help me, I don't want it to persist again. I don't want to continue with it.

It's even got to a stage that I get aroused to anything exposure about the female. Merely looking at boobs at times, I'd have to control myself. I can't even stand a TV soft sexual act, I'd definitely be aroused. I'm hating on myself!

Before, when I engage in this act, I used to last long a little time but nowadays, I can't even stay two seconds. All I need to hear is the voice of the porn star and I'm done. I know that means I've already developed premature ejaculation (PE) .. Another one I notice nowadays is that I don't get the full control of my joystick as before, it's still standing but I feel it's lost some strength. I feel I have developed erection dysfunction (ED) also and I have never had sex before. I don't my future wife to be depressed about me!


I'm gonna be 21 in August, I don't want this thing to remain with me please help.. I have already lost enough with it. My final year result was pure rubbish, I was only lucky to make a 2.1 cuz i had had good results already in the past. Lots of times I have also contemptlated suicide or harming myself in a way to end this but I won't do that ever.

Even being in my early twenties, I'm far from being broke but I've never had a girlfriend. Just help me please!

Carrot and beetroot.. Blend, filter and drink juice everyday for 2 months.. Solved

You sound hopeless and miserable

Do you even know what you are saying. I'm sure you are some 20yr old so I won't exchange words with you

Reality tv show for lazy nigerians

Shut up you fool, I repeat shut up.. Was reality TV invented in Nigeria?. There are tons of reality TV programs all over the world which the citizens of different countries watch. Why call Nigerians lazy because we took interest in ours ?

Thunder shut down your useless brain if you insult me .
Ekpa!!!

iceberryose:
Have you seen the number of Gee boys with venza and Voltron?

They don't count as they are mostly tokunbo cars.. Toyota doesn't count used cars in their sales figures cos they have previously been sold to a first owner

You don't get it, do you? A low income earner in the USA lives a far better life than a low income earner in Nigeria. I will rather be a poor guy in the USA than here in Nigeria.

U r the one not getting it. Granted qualitynog life is OK, good roads , constant light and security but most people abroad live paycheck to paycheck. Most are even in debt . if u doubt find out. That money might sound huge but over there its nothing . I have spent time here and in the USA so I know .

ositadima1:
An average security guard makes 27000 dollars a year in the usa, that is over 9 million naira , how much do you make in a year with your degree here in Nigeria?

Shut up.. That's low income in the USA.. U talk like he is spending Naira.. I don't like how u guys convert dollar to Naira and start blind comparisons

After topping he speedometer, this driver calmed down to 200kph Iyaf die

But this crazy really, 130kph at 2500rpm. I trust my toyotas to be screaming and stalling at that speed

Lies . 2003 Camry v6 puts about the same rpm at that speed

Get a Toyota or Lexus with similar engine capacity as that Benz and watch it perform too.. Not comparing an E class with corolla or 4 cyl camry

Is offer open to those outside Lagos

Cool

chukel:
ask for a reputable place, still check the tire and rims again. Then thoroughly check each component of the suspension

Does the computerised wheel balancing machine detect bent tyres and wheels?

chukel:
has your car been involved in front end collision in the past? Has it always been like this or its a recent development.

Recent development. Never involved in any accident major or minor .. Been driving it since March 2015

It all started after a particular wheel balancing job

All attempts to fix it since then have proved ineffective

chukel:
Check your tires and rims. If possible, transfer those of the rear to the front and see if it makes any difference. You may have a slightly bent rim or bad tires.

Have done swaps.. Tyres have been inspected and certified ok

OK

tobbiiqq:
please let us know what the problem was.. i am also having exactly the sane problem.

kingreign:

Warri

nurey:
