chikenicholas: Hello house, please I need your help.
I just got a Nigerian used Toyota 2009 Corolla and my first day of driving it and I noticed the Oil light flickering (flashing) with noisy sound coming from the Engine. I checked oil gauge and it was at normal level, the light and noise comes up at low speed. When I restart the car, it goes away but comes on again when I brake or slow down. The mechanic says its the oil pump that is bad and it needs replacement. I called the former owner and she said the oil pump was changed three months ago.
Please the experts in the house, what could be the cause and how can this be fixed. I will appreciate concrete solutions. Thanks Experts based in Abuja should also indicate. This story is Long but it will help you understand a thing or 2 about Nigerian used Vehicles. https://www.nairaland.com/4656373/when-it-time-return-factory
meanwhile if you need a replacement engine look into this thread.
https://www.nairaland.com/4664741/rebuild-replace
ultimately you will require a rebuild (proper) or a low mileage replacement.

gfullmoon: Mr Gazzuzz, ever changing the 2001 Toyota Corolla engine. I have been having this issue of the vehicle accelerating itself especially when braking. The braking jerking sound especially the exhaust is still there.
I just noticed from the receipt that the seller gave me that he sold 3ZZ to me instead of the 1ZZ the vehicle formally had. I have called the seller, he told me it is "better ". Sir can this be the cause of the all this issues my car is having? Thank you. You got short changed and under powered at same time.
The 3ZZ-FE is a 1.6 L (1598 cc) engine unit built in Japan.
The 1ZZ-FE is a 1.8 L (1,794 cc).
Return the 3zz-Fe.

femilambor007: @Gazzuzz I hope you still remember me, I was at your workshop with my 2001 Altima in the year 2014. Not long I sold the car and have been carless.
I currently have a budget of 1.5M, am thinking of a good Toyota Toks to buy.
Am considering 05 Matrix/ 05 Pontiac Vibe. I have read lot of articles saying they are similar, professional which will you advice?
My business is more of office and school supplies. Or which other durable and economical ride can you recommend.
Thanks Car was going off intermittently a grounding issue.
Matrix (not the Canadian 4wheel drive one) just regular 04 matrix is a better buy.
parts for the Vibe are a bit scarce in nigeria.

chillex8: Ensure you have tested it again and again. Don't be carried away by the offer. Make sure everything is working in good condition as stated by the owner.
Any thing that's not working should be stated by the owner. Some car owners dey lie alot.
Lastly, if it's not a sharp tokunbo car, I will advice you jump and pass. I have a personal experience[.
Remember, after delivery, all repairs falls on you . You don't want to be repairing a dead car with your savings No go carry corpse think say na car.  Slaiojel4u note this it is very important in H.P because immediately you sign the dotted lines, car becomes your own, even if you have to change the engine oil after 1000km it is your car, the owner will not be bothered by any expense you make. So please be very careful so you don't land your self in debt. |

Slaiojel4u: EXPERTS ADVICE PLS Hello house, I want to pick up a Toyota corolla 2005 model on HIGHER PURCHASE at 2.8million naira Spanned to be paid at 30k weekly for 2years. I checked and the car is in good toks condition. Should I go for it or does anyone has any alternative to HP?
@dru23 @GAZZUZZ @taxiappguy @ifyeez @chillex8 @carshopper @ALL WELL WISHERS ON THE FORUM!!! Have you ever driven rental before now?
A used car is a used car even if it is toks, I sell tokumbor cars and most of them come with a variety of issues. Some even come with sludge in the engine, some come with a lot of rust on suspension.
be careful what you sign to, Inspect it properly.
30k is fair, Ensure you have a backup plan 200-300k for those down times, if not you will loose the vehicle as most investors do not tolerate default no matter how close you think you are.
good luck. |

tushqueen: Weldone chief Gazzuzz, I drive an 04 corolla, the tyre that came with the car are 195/65/r15. A friend suggested that car could be raised for better ground clearance by using 205/65/r15. Is this advise beneficial? Not Beneficial.
195 is width, 65 is tyre height, 15 is rim diameter
Summary. Height remains the same, width increases, when you carry passengers behind the tyre will scrape against the body of the car if you use 205/65/15.
