ogbuefi677: Bia,this senior demeanor,why are your fingers and nails too neat? Are you sure you are not an audio mechanic? Talk true,when you crawl under moto last?
Kudos man,U sabi,maximum rispekt!
you are talking in the nonsense, you are talking in the foolish, you are talking in the rubbish, you are talking in the thing that does not have sense
The part number 89661-42E51 was unavailable and i insisted i wanted the exact part number, the rouge part seller did not have what i wanted, because he wanted to make a sale he printed the part number i requested and pasted on the engine ECU (look carefully at the corners of the white label they are sharp, while others have smooth curved edges.
So people it's a jungle out there in mushin ladipo market, always shine your eye there are many evil spare part dealers out there.
I go back one more time and ask for the ECU to be replaced unfortunately none can be found with the part number I want, so I check for equivalent part numbers of the equivalent.
Installs engine Ecu on vehicle, and check engine pops up, abs pops up, antiskid pops up the tpms is a regular visitor to the meeting so not a new face on the cluster.
I didn't bother scanning, went for a test drive and car still flared between 2-3.
Summary in this particular scenario is right part number but possibly defective engine ecu.
Also possible defective transmission since 2 Engine ECU'S are flaring in same gear.
Monday morning I receive an sms that the part I want has been found, i go down to the market to pick it up, same part number 89661-42E51 I was looking for, local man is delighted pays and leaves with a 1week guarantee.
Installed original engine ECU that was replaced and started the vehicle, engine started, warning lights disapeared , except for tpms, suddenly the. Check engine light came up. Scanned vehicle and got a throttle body/throttle pedal related code. Tried revving car, but it did not go past 1,000 RPM
Scanned abs unit and communication codes were no longer present .
Summary engine ECU purchased was wrong part number, also original engine ECU is defective.
Selfkontrol: So guys few days ago I posted about an 08 Honda Civic I wanted to get and got some advice. Thanks everyone for your input. Well I contacted the owner and asked why he was selling and he told me the car is low and his area has bad road and that gave me a rethink. For sure I know the car is low but didn’t think It’s that low that would make an owner want to sell it.
The owner lives in port Harcourt and I live in port harcourt myself and the roads here are not all perfect and besides that I want to use the car partly for bolt business and you never can tell where a customer would take you so that justifies my reason for letting it go. So after reading many threads on ‘car talks section’, I’m finally going for an 09/010 Corolla but a Nigerian used one because to get direct Belgium of same model is around 1.8-2m and way out of my budget.
I’m checking out two and they are going for 1.3 and 1.4 respectively. I’m going with a good mechanic today and check everything and also FRSC to verify it’s Authenticity plus other tips I read on here.
I know we’re like family here I need all the advice pls because this would be my first car thank you
Eggshells: Hello my fellow nairalanders... Ive been an ardent follower of this forum for quite some time now and only joined yesterday to share something that has been bothering me for some time now.
My fiance and I were in the same state Enugu, nmaku precisely before I relocated to Lagos to work with my uncle. This was in September last year. Initially we were communicating like everyday but as time went on, work became very tedious that I reduced to like once in three days.to which he saw reasons and understood.
Problem now is, he called early Feb to tell me to either quit my uncles job or forget about our relationship... I was shocked and didn't know what to say. so I told him to give me some time to give him feedback. But now, I don't know what to tell him cos I need the job and we have come a long way and he called me last week saying this first week of March is the dead line... Please what should I do? I'm in a fix now.
Thanks in advance for your responses. Insults are not welcomed please.
