Thank you for this response. However, I don't quite figure the point being made. This is because ordinarily we should avoid potholes, which I do as often as I drive. Is that all, or there's some subtle message in your response that I'm not getting.
your tyre specification makes you predisposed to tyre blow outs when you hit rough roads .

One the issue of paying client versus prospective client

I will someday share a very interesting story....for now my lips have to be sealed so as not to prejudice contracts being negotiated...

Dealing with the public is very educating.. people as so different...Idiosyncrasy on display no be small
with the tone of some people's conversations on the phone, you don't even want them as prospective clients. They will never get an appointment.

To all uber partners alike and non uber car partners.. I cannot stress enough the importance of using the rite oil for your car ,especially full synethic.. One of my cars that has been using naija god knowns oil is now shorten oil now, this is like medicine after death ...save yourself stress and money in the long run.. Starting using the correct oil for your cars..don't say the oil is too expensive or say na naija we dey ,we go use anything available.. You will end up paying for your ignorance in the long run.. Use full synethic oil ..now I can understand if you have fleet of cars and it might be too expensive to use full synthetic oil , which is still not an excuse.. But if you just bought that fresh tokunbo car ,it is better you spend that money and buy full synethic oil ..it will save you money in the long run and you won't have to be at the mercy of any mechanic.. Those that know, knows..

So guys, I have fixed the fan connection, now the fan no longer operate directly but comes on as default setting.
So today while in a heavy traffic I noticed the outdoor temperature guage shows just "E".
pls who sabi why it is sohuh kindly find attached.
In the Nigerian setting there is no smoke without a fire.

Older cars tend to have overheating issues because of a wide range of environmental and maintenance factors.

The cooling system is originally supposed to run on coolant, and not water.

When water is used in a cooling system for a long time, the system gets contaminated and starts to corrode.

Parts in the cooling system made from aluminum begin to wear off and the radiator gets blocked, rust is introduced and in a space of 1-2 years a perfectly functional foreign used car starts to overheat in nigeria.


Now this same scenario would also occur if coolant is not replaced at the right intervals. For the record coolant should be drained every 100,000km or 66,000 miles. (Ignore the Americans they just working with warranty) failure to do so, same results would occur to the cooling system.

Our Nigerian technicians response to overheating is suppression of the symptoms, which is to bypass the functioning of the fan, making it run steady and removing the Thermostat which ensures fluid flow from the radiator to the engine without a buildup of heat.

some times car owners take their functional cars that did not have any overheating issues to the technician and the cooling system is modified. The belief system is that that is what is best for the engine in nigeria.


As a rule, when clients come with fans running directly, I try and retrieve a history of when and how long ago the procedure was done.

I Inspect pipe joints to see how far corroded the aluminum parts of the engine have gone, then based on the information I have, I write a long list of parts to be replaced, before corrective wiring and Thermostat installation can be done.

please note: a rubber hose with high pressure water or coolant on a corroded aluminum fitting will leak at the joint especially when the temp of the car hits 96-100deg Celsius this in turn will cause overheating.

If a client is not ready to replace radiator and corroded parts (if any) and return to factory coolant (not Abro or total or any green winch) I will not take the job! And will advice he leaves his system the way it is.


Now back to your last quetion.

There is a part called the ambient temp sensor mounted in front of the condenser , right behind the front Grill, it is either disconnected or missing. Replace it and you will get the proper readings.

play safe every one, better to have a running engine, than a dissatisfied client with a blown gasket.

Chuwaa:
You mean transmission oil can cause vibration?
My car vibrates, I've done all scans and nothing of such was detected, I've changed engine sittings to no avail. I've never worked on the gear, though on rare occassions, it surges as if someone gave you a push.
AOI2016:
So even with the right transmission oil, there won't be any need to change gearbox
The CVT gearbox in the honda city is forgiving and allows a 2nd chance. It also does not have a torque converter, so when you drain more than 90per of the fluid drains out. The difference in gear selection and take off is like light and darkness after that.

Since 2008, am about to buy the fourth gear for the car. It's the weak point of the car. I still don't know why. If not that the car is a very good car, but I love it, just as my uncle loved his 1984 Volkswagen Santana
Use honda CVT transmission oil only. 1 of my honda city 2007 still has its original gearbox in it since manufacture. We replace the transmission oil when ever it begins to vibrate before taking off.

Dear Gazzuzz,

I drive a 2003 Toyota Camry bought it from a previous Nigerian owner. Its tyres are not the recommended specs. These are the tyres on it:
FLW 235/45/17
FRW 235/45/17
BLW225/50/17
BRW225/50/17

Recommended is:
205/65/15

What's your take? Anything to pay attention to? Do it have an impact on fuel consumption? Your input would be much appreciated. Thank you.
beware of potholes.
