good evening gurus, pls how good is COASTAL OIL 5w 30? i have a 2009 toyota corolla and the recommended oil is 5w20 but i was told i can use 5w30 coz of our weather here, pls advice

Palm oil.

Buy toyota 5W30. I'm not a fan of 5W20 unless it's a brand new car with very low mileage.

Hi Gazzuzz,
A friend of mine has a 2007 Ford Edge SEL that has defied all forms of solutions. The car would only start after a couple of days and will drive for not more than a 100m and would stop. Fuel pump was changed after a couple of troubleshooting even though scanners didn't show any codes. The new fuel pump lasted for about 3 weeks and the same issue resurfaced again. I am thinking that it is fuel-pressure related though the scans that he has done yielded no result. His mechanic fed fuel directly into the fuel line that connects to the injectors and the car started but would go off once the car burns that fuel.
Please, that your guy in Port Harcourt is he good with car electrics. If he is, give me his number so that we can reach him. We need some professional touch on that car.
Thanks.

GAZZUZZ Boss I need your help my 2009 Corolla is showing code p0017. What's ur advice and where is your workshop. Please call me on 09034777791

Check vvti sensors.

Strong possibility the cables have problems.

mygame:
Sorry for not being too straight on dz issue. The main problem here is that both gear 1,3,and 5 can move when shift but gear 2 and the reverse won't make any progress. However if I shift to 2 or reverse I can easily hear lot of noise coming. Kindly assist plssss

Now you are talking.

Check gearbox and engine mounts (seating) at the rear, also check the gear levers the problem seems to be from there.

Hehehehe I'm loving this thread

Check signature for details.

I can fix your car, but diagnosis and fixing is not free.

My ford galaxy car of 1998 model won't reverse but can go forward. What do I do plssssss house

Manual tranny, since it goes foward (with ease I suppose) then you most likely have a gear problem. If the shifter feels funny or wiggles at very large angles, then it's possible you are not getting into reverse gear. Your response might help.


Note. You use hard earned money to buy a car and have no idea what is under the hood? That is really lazy.

OriEyeLe:
I am really enjoying the car now but my mechanic and his friends seem not to be okay with v6, the car has mileage of 139 and it was bought in tokunbo last year. I got one unknown good mechanic to test drive me and he said the engine is okay.i even boarded a micra cab in Ib today and I asked the driver wch he prefer, he said V6 is more powerful and good to drive, he said if v6 is going u Wud hardly hear noise although he said that in local language. On my way coming back too, I asked another driver and he said the samething, even this one said it depends on how I match the acceleration. Both of them said this in yoruba sha. I have few questions and will never bother about mechanics talk again. 1. Is toyota camry 2001 v4 and v6 using different body parts? 2. Is v4 engine last longer than the v6? 3. Are v6 engines prone to issues even when servicing at the right time? 4. If at all the engine is faulty is v6 engine cost much more than v4?. NOTE: I don't use car because of resale value or fuel comsumption so far the fuel it is consuming is not another half of what v4 is consuming, so far, I think the fuel economy of the car in question is okay. I drove the car to edo state today from ibadan using 3500# fuel wt no AC, I noticed I reached there much faster if not for the traffic in some parts. I used to drove my 2001 corolla to the same edo state wt same 3500# fuel with no AC but I reached edo 30mins or more more wt no stress of matching the acceleration completely wt the v6 as I studied today. I believe that I can get better response online, so I am more concern about the engine issues. How often does v6 get problem? If the engine is faulty today, if I buy another one with adequate servicing, I can use the new engine for how many more years? Note that I'm am talking about toyota camry

Same body parts.

The V6 engine is cheaper.

Which would be more exhausted? 4 people pushing a car or 6 people pushing a car.


40liters from ibadan to edo (maybe benin?) your corrola must have had a problem

Good day petrolheads, I just noticed my car doesn't accelerate well. I tried flooring it on the highway but it would not go beyong 100KM/H and immediately d check engine lights come up. It won't also accelerate and change gear normally beyond 3000Rpm. Some times it suddenly snaps and accelerate beyond 100km/h. What could be d problem?

Hello house,
I recently purchased a 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander toks posted here on nairaland last month. I bought the car for my dad and intend to send it to him in december. Since then, the car has been parked here in Lagos. I bought the car with about quarter tank of fuel and I've been using it to run short distance errands.
But yesterday, I decided to fill the tank for the first time. I did that, only to discover the tank was leaking seriously. Overnight, the level dropped from full to almost half. I took it to my mech who removed the tank. Lo and behold, the tank was completely rusted. A complete write-off.
We took the tank to Ladipo, only to learn that the tank is very scarce. After a whole day of searching and making calls, I'm left with two options.

Option A: They suggested a tank from another Mitsubishi brand (I'm guessing a Gallant or a Montero). They said rust is common to that particular model. Most Outlanders have been fitted with this make-shift tank. But I'm worried if the electronics will work. Will the gauge still read correctly? What about the evap system? I'm really scared about the potential implications. But they are assuring me that a lot of Outlanders on the road have been fitted with this modified tank.

Option B: The model that I bought is 4WD, with a propeller transferring power to the rear wheels when required. It runs primarily on front wheels except when the front wheels lose traction in mud, sand, snow etc then the ECU transfers power to the rear. In other words, everyday normal driving is FWD. Now here is the thingy. Someone has the FWD model tank for sale. This tank can be used on my car, but the propeller needs to be permanently removed. In other words, I get an OEM tank, but I lose the 4WD capability.

Better still, does anyone know how I can get the appropriate tank?

That is my dilemma. A 4WD car with potential fuel electronic problems or a good fuel system without a 4WD capability.
I will appreciate your inputs before I make an irreversible mistake.

Go to owode and search for an acccidented car same brand and buy the tank.

Call alfa 08051151007 he's my runannround guy he will search the entire market for the vehicle before you make the trip. Please appreciate him.
