kingreign: It is a catalytic converter. Starting from 98, Toyota implemented three way catalytic converters in their California state sold cars. One on each bank and a third to further 'cleanse' the exhaust gas.
chukel: u should know this naa. U see the TWC? Three way catalytic converter. That's the 3rd. Solely for emission. Environmental protection.
Oh I see why you are getting Confused . Now the TWC does not mean three different cat boxes rather a single Vat box that uses three process to purify fumes coming out of car. Reduction+Horne Combe +Oxidation all in one box to bring out Nxt COS and H2O
chukel: stop dragging. If it's not a catalytic converter, pls what is it. Read up Toyota exhaust system with special reference to the catalytic converters. My diagram also didn't mention any catalyst. That diagram centered on the sensors. Check up the meaning of TWC with respect to Toyota exhaust system. PS. I am still learning. But I want to learn well with evidence
Ok ask yourself this . Why would therr be a filter after a filter ? What you see there is a middle box . Most cars have it .
chukel: u should know this naa. U see the TWC? Three way catalytic converter. That's the 3rd. Solely for emission. Environmental protection.
The third box is not a cat covert .even you diagram does not say so.however therr are 4 sensors in your diagram . Banks 1 amd 2 one is left the other right I'm waiting to see a diagram with 3 cat convert
chukel: I think you should go back and read my comment well. Bringing in bank 2 means you are already talking V6. If you noticed I avoided using terms bank 1 bank 2 to make it easy to a non car savvy person to understand. That cat behind the radiator can be bank 1 or bank2 depending on how many cylinder the car has. My question is, is there a sensor after the cat under the car. I want to learn.
Yes therr is a sensor . V6 engines with two cats ha e four O2 sensors
chukel: if so, please educate me and others who share same ideology here.
Well you ought to have taken into account how the O2 sensor will feed yoyr ECU with data . The bank 2 sensor compares readings from the other O2 sensor and this gets feed back to the ecu . This determine the Richness of fuel or oxygen .
obekediamondfuto: let's experiment it on OUR evil spirit, back then in otown.... didnt know sh...t about cars, sent my car for servicing and car came back sounding different. drove it home (5mins) fuel entered reserve from a lil less than 1/4 tank. beginning of woes........ summary, Mech stole my cat con and vehicle guzzles fuel like nothing I've seen before. u don't want to know how that story ended
So when the Cat was removed what did the mechanic replace it ?
chukel: Right question is which catalyst are you guys talking about. If it's the one under the vehicle, then no negative effect on fuel consumption. In fact if it was clogged prior to removal, you will notice improved fuel economy after removal. If it's the other one just behind the radiator, then removal may affect fuel consumption.
You seriously need to upgrade or update ur Auto knowledge . U scored 2/100 there
Mafimboss: This should have been done way long before now... NNPC should have anticipated that the volume of demand within this period would definitely increase and should have been proactive. Would have avoided all these suffering on Nigerians
So we should clap � for them now abi
Medicine after death
Mtchewwwwww
They began with telling us it was the marketers who are hudding products until the marketers refuted that claim . .even now how are we sure they imported the said fuel??after all talk and publish is cheap
I never understood the analysis behind subsidy and swallowed it hook line and sinker..
On some other thread, some castigated gej on price of rice when he came in and the reserve..
1 - if crude oil sells for $100, we sell higher but also import refined crude higher.. get it.. ($400m on subsidy by gej is to alleviate that shock on the masses on high refined crude price) if he was as wicked as what we have now and decided to save all that $400m, we would hit past $100bn. If the then governors had not taken him to court on the excess crude, we would have shot beyond that. "Subsidy is back at N26/ltr" thought it never existed.
2 - rice at N2,500 when jonathan came in.. what was your salary?, what was the standard of living then and Gej period. Why was recession not declared then. Because their was an economic balance.
olokeded: The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has expressed empathy and strong solidarity with members of the public over the lingering challenge in accessing petroleum products across the country just as it reeled out multiple measures to end the unfortunate situation before the end of the year.
Group Managing Director of the Corporation, Dr. Maikanti Baru, told journalists at a media briefing and follow-up tour of some fuel stations in Abuja on Sunday that measures were already in place to bolster the current fuel supply and eliminate the extraneous factors that have led to the persistent petrol queues.
He said within the last two weeks the national truck out capacity had been jerked up to an average of 1,500 trucks, translating to 52 million litres per day which is much higher than the normal consumption of 850 trucks per day across the various depots in the country. Also the Corporation has emplaced a 24-hour loading and sales operations in all depots and NNPC Mega Stations across the country while marketers have been instructed to do same.
To ensure effective products penetration across the length and breadth of the country, Dr. Baru explained that the Corporation had activated the Fuel War Room comprising of team members from the NNPC, the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), and Petroleum Equalization Fund (PEF), with support from the security agencies.
He said while the NNPC would naturally focus on increasing the volume of products on offer, the DPR, PEF and PPRA have scaled-up monitoring activities to ensure seamless loading and dispensing of fuel nationwide and to specifically ensure deliveries to designated stations and sales at the approved retail price of N145/litre.
Dr. Baru emphasized that though the official landing cost of petrol as at the moment stood at N171.40k per litre, the official government approved pump price of N145 per litre remains intact.
On the volume of products available for supply, the NNPC GMD informed that 13 vessels laden with over 650 million litres of products were currently discharging their contents at the sea port while additional vessels have being lined up to berth early January 2018.
He said 814 million litres of petrol were currently being injected into the system to guarantee nationwide elimination of fuel queues before the end of the year.
Representatives of DPR, PEF and PPPRA at the conference registered their agencies’ resolve to work with the NNPC to restore sanity in the supply and distribution of petroleum products.
ilovebbwgirl: It is a historical fact that girls from the ages of 9 to 14 were married in Europe, Asia, Africa and America. For example, Saint Augustine ( 350CE ) married a girl who was 10 years old. King Richard II, married a 7 year old girl. King Henry VIII married a 6 years old girl. According to the Catholic encyclopedia, Mary the mother of Jesus was 12 years when she married 99 year old Joseph. Before 1929, Church of England Ministers could marry 12 years old girls in Britain.
This is true but with more education and advancement they changed and the age of marriage was peeled at adulthood above 16 best practice 19. So if I 2017 you are thinking of a 15 year old in a swxual manner then there is a name for such people and I'm sure you know the name !
mohince: Huh.... Its very terrifying the way womn are killing their husband this days!! Inshallah i shall not die in the hands of a woman!!! Merry xmas to my christian frnds around the globe!! May God bless you all as u celebrate this day
Bross its a 15 year old.are you Ignoring that fact ? We are not talking woman here but a child
mofedamijo: Cause the system allows that,if the system doesnt allow they will pay in cash,u think americans dont buy used cars worth 10,000$ without credit facilities,or u think the dealerships have time for credit stuffs...
They won't buy . Trust do you know howmany years ypu will hav to save to buy itdame way people do not buy phones in the west . We all are on contract . Nigerians have to buy new phones
mofedamijo: A brand new NISSAN VERSA IN U.S.A COST 12,000$,and innoson is selling a lower grade car for 4million naira which is 11,000$,thats why peple dont really patronize them that much,pple will rather buy a 2005 toyota crolla grade A that has second hand value and that will last n serve better,with parts availability.
Howmany people buy that cash in the US ? ? No be instalments ? ?
Comeandcollect: Please is it possible to buy a Range Rover body and put a sound Toyota Engine on it, I want to have a customized Range/Toyota SUV.
What could be the disadvantage of this move? I believe with a good team of electricians we can set this up and eliminate common problems of Range Rover in Nigeria such as poor fuel, air bag faults, frequent engine services etc.
.
the weight of that car makes such endevour imposible
pannyman: I have seen a Range Rover having Mobil XHP 20w50 being poured into its engine. This was at my mechanic's place actually, and this mechanic happens to be a distributor for a synthetic oil brand.
I was stunned, and asked him he was this grade of oil was being used in the ride. He replied that that was what the owner was ready to pay for and he could not argue with him. Really incredible that somebody who could afford such an expensive car would skimp on using the right engine oil for it.
This was not long after I saw the owner of a Venza buying Total Dexron 2 for his car at a Total filling station.
The level of ignorance among Nigerians as it concerns vehicle oils is just mind boggling.
Thats the problem,the range rover man is meant to use 5w30, and should be prepared to pay,if he cant afford that then he has no biz drivi ng a range rover.

This nah good deal, anyone into the RRS Brand should snap this sharpidly
I saw this been advertised online,and it says the Mobil 1 Annual Protection ultimate full synthetic motor oils provides protection for one year between oil changes or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Have also seen other foreign products like the Amsoil and NEO motor oil claim 25,000 miles or one year protection before needing a change.
There is much debate in the automotive world over how often drivers of typical passenger cars or light trucks should change their motor oil.
Some people believe changing motor oil once every 3,000 miles may be just marketing strategy to generate more money.
Some say the 6,000-7,000miles may be fine for regular HD motor oil even on older cars if oil changes were done every 6,000-7,000 miles from the time they were new.
I doubt if this products are readily available in Nigerian stores unless they ordered online, but i think the effects of changing the oil after every 20,000 miles on old/new cars can be dangerous.
So car gurus,have you tried the Mobil 1 Annual Protection motor oil in your car,and how safe do you think it is?Tell us what you think
Whynow: It varies on both front and rear. But becomes worse with load. ie with people.
I had my mechanic drive me from work on Friday . A colleague sat in front while I sat behind , and could definately feel the wooble or shake.
These are your control arms gone south bro.in Mine, it was the rear, when you accelerate the vehicle tend to lean left, when you take ur foot off it goes back to its natural position,
Whynow: Pls i am need of advise on a problem i am currently experiencing on my car. Kindly let me state the history behind my Lexus RX350 2007 4wd. Beautiful car with a 2GR engine. This is a car that I have been driving for three years now so i know the importance of OEM parts which i source from CARID and other sites from US, and I hate tokumbo to the core. I always use mobil 1 advanced. 5W30 till date. Installed Brand new KYB excel G shocks front and rear....from USA Brand new OEM ball joints and tierods, inner and outer New CV axles, had to go to ASPAMDA to get it. Coil packs and plugs are okay. No misfire. Live data stream is perfect. No vacuum leaks Exhaust , catalyst efficiency okay no blockage whatsoever. Transmission changes gears 100% no slipping. Wheel bearing are okay. Fuel pump pressure okay.
Dilemma for almost 7 months. So the problem is the car sort of hessitates and shakes like a hopping movement. It happens 1. Whenever I acccerlerate from stop ie after a traffic stop or trying to increase my speed on the freeway. 2. I fell some form of sensation on the floor board and steering wheel..not really a vibration
Mechanic says there is a a shaky movement of the rear joint on the drive shaft and it be 2 days labour. I also remembered he has changed a couple of joints on this shaft.
Could this be true and what are your advise... My car is at gbagada
I am also pen to try a new auto shop.
You need to check what you have changed so far. From Experience your rear control or front control Arms could produce these shakings. I had that with my Jeep Liberty in Nigeria. Now Most Mechanics in Nigeria fail to Torque these control arms at the car's natural riding height, they torque it when the car is jacked up, what this means is once tyre is replaced and car lowered, Bushing gets tore, so the car is in a worse state than it was b4 it was replaced. I had to redo mine by myself
kenny2gbaski: So i had to change my front Tyre today and decided to take a closer look at the wheel before bolting the new tyre and i observed a cable was cut off from there. It doesn't look like a fresh cut but nevertheless i had to be on the safer side, would have loved to fix immediately but currently far away from my mechanic.
What is this for? Does it pocess any danger and should i fix immediately with these Kazeems around or can i still wait and use the car till i get back to my base? Thanks.
Car is Nissan Primera 1998, 1.6.
That's your ABS sensor disconnected possibly a not too in the know mechanic, connect it back, you can do it yourself peal and join wires plus tape it properly, you will need to reset the ABS light via a scanner. Update us on the work done

kingreign: Greetings daddy, This is a very complex web we have found ourselves tangled in as regards oil locally produced in Nigeria. I stand corrected, I feel the oil blenders, manufacturers and major oil companies manufacturing, blending and distributing oil in Nigeria have formed a cabal with a common interest; - to maximize profit irrespective of whose ox is gored and the ones who stands to bear the brunt of this selfish interest are the individuals who pays for oil change from their hard earned income. Reason why I say this are: 1. The oil companies and allied industries have world class qualified Mechanical, Automobile and Chemical expats in that field, they have learnt the evolving trends in 21st century vehicular R n D. 2. There are access to documents bothering on requirements for vehicle specification, oil manufacturing specification, QC specification, environmental control documents etc a few clicks away, why are these blueprints not adhered to in this part of the world. 3. Laziness to follow trends as obtains else where and corruption on the part of SON, COREN and NIS 4. Nigerians are too lazy n relaxed n accepts any craps thrown at them.
I have read what you said two times, my deductions The kind of OIL is not the problem rather the viscosity. This is determined by your car manufacturer not the Engine oil manufacturer. if your car says use 10w40, plz stick to 10w40, if it says 5w30 stick to 5w30, there is a reason that thickness was given, if your car requires lighter Oil and you pour heavy Oil into the Engine than be ready for overheating and sludge. So to all,I say forget manufacturer, stick to the Viscosity given by the car manufacturer. Whom you decide to buy from is up to you be it Mobil or total or Ooando, that's up to you but read the spec ie xWx
