Unless reading and comprehension isn’t the Bolt voltron’s forte, I like to think I made it clear that I didn’t know my way around the mainland and the driver was an elderly man. He was quite clueless on his map and I ended up cooperating with him to figure out the route. I posted the trip here and someone accurately mentioned the area in Ikeja.

Saying Uber is second class is akin to saying Benz is second class because the majority of Nigerians are not buoyant enough to afford it, hence the 03 Corolla craze. Only someone with an abysmal sense of economics would put forth such.

There is really no comparison.

I'm still trying to see the sense in the bolded statement, that you book a ride on Uner doesn't make you richer than one who uses the indriver app.

The brain is weird to a usual life style even though change is constant but some things are not so with some brain neurons.

Stop making it look like you're a special spicie just because u r bound to using the uber app, they all have the same people and tools of operations. As a matter of fact who even says Uber is more expensive than Bolt? The last I checked Bolt has a higher parameters for fare calculations.

No one is special
Everyone is equal

Pearl1910:
Enjoy.
Bolt hasn't given me bonus for 3weeks now. But I Net 25k daily on weekdays and 35k on weekends. Can I achieve this on Uber?

My brother you can't oh just remain where you're and enjoy ur earning.

Uber is still not ready for business because I see no reason why they are visiting every other features of the app like payment method, safety, etc but don't want to visit the one that will make them have both drivers and riders back to the system.

Its almost 2 weeks now they've blocked my account for owning them N7100... Why not restrict the account to card trips alone, like who are those managing the uber business self? Do they have sense at all??

Me ma self no even bother since I've a 1month contract with a rider so I use bolt to balance.

Just imagine yesterday earning alone untop play play oh...i come dey wonder had I been more serious nko...

santakris:
Good morning. I still need this. It seems not available in my locality

You can go to Ojekunle street, ladipo market, clerg in ojuelegba or trinity in apapa all in Lagos.

Thanks guys for taking time to respond I really do appreciate.

danny34:
Am just curious guys...

If the airflow meter is disconnected wont the girl consumption tripple?

Hmm... I've noticed some level of millage change since the engine check light came up so I didn't really notice much change of millage disconnecting the air flow sensor yesterday driving almost the entire day but one thing I noticed was a gradual lose of power which I'm not really comfortable with.

I really wish we have a policy of return if didn't work here in Nigeria, but once you've bought no returning at all weather the problem is resolve or not. Crazy!

Borale engine my mum bought few months ago for her ML was 150k in osogbo. Could even be cheaper at Lagos

Thats the beauty of a Benz how would one spend almost half a million buying just an engine and we celebrate it like it's a blessing, you can't park ur car and sit comfortably in a bar to drink one bottle just so they don't vandalize ur car. Its just so annoying. That cartoon of a car 2006 model with over 200,000miles selling for 3million... Just imagine the level of madness

Come how come no one is talking about the high rate if unemployment that's coming along with the proposed removal of subsidy by our almighty APC government. The same subsidy they claim doesn't exist during the PDP time oh.

Many of us will go out of jobs because riders will japa oh due to high fare and increase of spare parts also as a result of high cost of transportation.

From next month or there about we should be looking at buying fuel at about N600/L

Felakezman:
Good afternoon.. Am new on bolt.. Oweing bolt 5k..is this a reason why i have not gotten any request today.. Pls help reply

Try make a request from your phone and see if it get to you.

Youself try pay them their money na abi you no won pay ni the moment your -ve balance is exceeding 4500 your trip request will gradually be limited to so try pay some amount or add your card to your riders account then request and make sure it gets to u... Arrive let the wait paid time gets to 2hrs on a 1.9x or 4hrs. Start the trip then end it after like 5min without moving. That way your -'ve balance will be offset.

If you make payment today don't just borther it will be till Monday b4 it will reflect on ur account.

Lastly, check to see if yiur inspection is still valid. These are some of the reasons you may not be receiving trip requests.

Good luck.


Menh this Sun na die today ooh... Me I don park for optima filling station Idimu Rd, I can't come and kill myself.

drakeskull:
Not for long. Speaking from experience, though not a Benz. BMW 5 series same symptom, goes into limp mode under heavy acceleration. Disconnected the sensor to confirm it's working state and car performed excellent when disconnected

Yeah! Same system and you actually guess right, as car started performing like ogbanje I just disconnected the air flow meter sensor and car is performing like normal, speed is good now.

So what seems to be the solution. Replace the entire part with a tokunbo or new one or get an electrician to clean it.

Menh... Shey I go still fit work today so after eating mama Ada plantain 250. Poteto 150, bean 100 and pkomo 100. She then garnished it with otazi leave, onion sorch and fried native stew.

Whi dey folarin street, mushin should come now... Will be outta here in 5min

peeps4u:
Thought they said MB doesn't have fake/Chinese parts like toyota/Honda, reason why MBs less frequently visit mechamics than toyota and co?

China plenty o bros... Notin Nigerians can't do

Pearl1910:
No be small thing, na load they pursue me today. Mobolaji Johnson to Surulere X1.8. I dey happy say I go make like 4k in less than 30mins. Only for me to arrive, person stand for front of gate say "come in com in, reverse and face this side". I already know they want to carry load.
I was like "Is it this load u want to carry or another one" Cos I saw the load but didnt want to believe it's Inside Uber this people want to put all these things. "Mumu even said yes offcourse" I just drove away without answering him. Na d gate man I pity.

I wish I snapped it...
4 Inverter batteries. Asin trailer batteries o
4 Cartons of only God knows what's inside. Each carton is d size of 2 Indomie cartons put together.
4 25litre gallon of Kings Oil
4 quarter bag of rice
Wires and other heavy equipment.

Even if u offer me 20k for this journey I no go.

Can you imagine! What kind of nonsense is all this... I've said it severally these apps should allow drivers charge for additional seats and extra loads.

What they charge is only for one passenger reason the fare is small so when riders are requesting they should indicate how many passengers and if extra luggage is included with this the business will be very much proffittable for drivers.

Pearl1910:
Keep us posted sha.
If ur Benz is better or comparable with the corolla/Civic as u claim, surely it will become a choice.
What's d Cost of suspension parts and auxillary engine components such as alternator, kick starter. Radiator and radiator fan motor, AC Compressor, etc?

I don't have an idea of how much these thing cost since I don't have any need for them.

The ine I made enquiry about is the engine and transmission. Complete engine for the M271, M111 Kompressor is around 120k -150k borale or what do you guys call it is around 70k. Gear box is 60-80k.

I bought a tokunbo condenser 3weeks ago 8k... Gave mechanic money to get it ni o asking price for brand new one is 20k.

Radiator water can is 4k/5k for tok new one is 10-12k to 15k depends on ur negotiating power.

Complete evaporator with vent and all I gave my mechanic 15k to replace it.

Stabilizer linkage rod I bought it tok 4k, my panel guy spoilt it while trying to burn out the linkage.

These r the prices I've first hand info on for now

Barbiturate:
Bro forget that O2 sensor thing. Nothing do am. These guys just use it to chop money. Imagine buying sensor for 5k and this guy brought the same as before

But the engine check light will just be on na and I don't like seeing indicator lights on my dashboard at all.

The truth is what we get from most dealers in Nigeria as spare parts are fake-China... Tue worse is most of them are brand new China made sold to us as tokunbo or already bad tokunbo parts so once you fix it and used after a week it goes bad again.

Just imagine a bulb I bought blow off barely after 1 week but the follow come on the other side is still working.

Pearl1910:
U made a statement and in the very next sentence u contradict your previous statement.
I will only consider using a Benz if minimum fare is 1k atleast and Magodo to Lekki is 10k without surge.

I didn't contradict myself in any way.

Ignorance is costing us a lot in this racket.

Mind you I've used the most common cars for this job from the Honda's to the corolla's to the biggy's... Its going to 3months now I've not both a single hardware part and car still sound tok. Unlike the Civic that we had to visit the mechanic workshop every 2 -3 weeks even after the top notch maintenance and repairs after purchase... Same thing with the Corolla and biggy.

The only part I've bought and had gone bad within 2 weeks is the fog light bulb. The bulb on one side broke so I replaced it and after I enter water the thing blow up but the other side follow come is still working till now.

Drive with the airflow meter disconnected and check if movement improves and jerking stops

Any danger driving it for long while troubleshooting with the airflow sensor unsucket? because the jerking, whale like breath and slight vibration reduced and occurred intermittently after I carried out the change of spark plugs yesterday

Pearl1910:
Benz ke...u want make I dey work for Omoibo and Kazeem? Wait till u have to change suspension parts, this ur bragging go soon humble.

Luxurydriver/Driverpreneur can testify.

Luxurydriver na him shot himself for foot na... That guy used a 4matic V6 bro... That brand of benz no be here oh I can't try it unless I'm in Dubai.

Maintenance for the C-class is relative cheaper to maintain than the Corolla trust me just that the Benz has plenty of parts.

Take for instance, if you want to carry out a change of breakpad if care is not taken you might end up buying both breakpad and the breakpad sensor but a Toyota you are buying just breakpad.

WordsWriter:
Thanks man. After working on all these does the prompt go away on its on or it has to be reset manually?

Check YouTube on how to reset it. My is a default maintenance set as 10,000 miles. Just check YouTube well to find how to reset yours don't listen to those quack mecho o some of them are agents of the devil.

I greet everyone in the house.

Please how do I check the year model of my car because the VIN doesn't seems to give a good detail.

Most importantly, i don't feel my car again like it was when i first got it. You know that fast movement from rest or on traffic wanting to overtake or change lanes... It's seems to have lost that quick response.

Some times its jerks like it wants to go off or like a bouncing kite with sharp breaking

The sound from the exhauste manifold is something I can't describe, as a breathing whale with blockage or something.

I've seen changed the spark plugs and blow the air filter yesterday and I noticed a slight improvement. When the mechanic unplugged the air flow meter sensor yesterday everything seems to normalize apart from me not driving to check the fast movement from rest.

Attached within is one of my previous scan result.

Please help analyse as I don't even have money to start throwing on everything unnecessary thing after spending over 350k revamping the air conditioning system and a proper conversation.

Though car is moving well but I want engine check light out (I hate seeing notifications signs on dashboard) and that quick response back as its the main flavor that attracted me to D Benz fam.

Pearl1910:

Gentlelife50:
Na so Benz wahala be, they always like complications.

I swear down. No mind them... Even bonnet has a sensor, yesterday I was driving along ipaja road and my dashboard kept popping full red alarm with the car on open bonnet, pulled over to check bonnet was well closed. I drove about 500m and the alerm came up again... I pulled over again, open bonnet only to find out the bonet sensor was not well fastened by an AC technician that did a routine check work on it last week. I just fastened it and moved on.

If it's something I'm not well familiar with nkor? Na so I go dey spend money anyhow.

Can imagine breakpad has a sensor, radiator has, wiper water has too, even plate number light has both right and left sensors if one blows off now it will indicate on the dashboard.
