Is this product accidented? Manufacturer airbag looks fishy

entparrot:
Im not arguing about sludge, I'm just supporting the lady.

I was once told by English speaking mechanic, that the check engine light will kill my engine, that was in 2014, but we are in 2018, my car still up and running, no sign of slowing down.

My mechanic is typical ibadan man, I have been using him, and my cars are fine.

it is possible you would have saved several thousands in fuel costs if you buy a small hand held Scanner and check the codes out your self
And yes it's possible engine will have a shorter lifespan.

We are talking Honda accord baby boy oh.. Not 2017 Benz C300 or 2017 BMW 7 series

even the 1998 toyota camry is new sch

That's the point, up & running. If one continue to follow all these English speaking mechanics, all your weekly rental money, will be remitted to them indirectly .

Logical method. However, the drawbacks of this method include:

- Spillage or evaporation of some of the fuel kept as backup will account for a false low value

- Accuracy of the 'ten litres' (volume) bought initially cannot be determined except measured by a standard calibrated container.


Might be safer to follow this: Once reserve light comes on, top up fuel with a known volume and drive till reserve light just comes on again, then calculate.

Please my Toyota Corolla is misfiring,I went to my mechanic,he said it's plug,we changed the plug,the same thing,he he wanted to drive the car out of his workshop which is very Sandy,the car was jeering, he said it was fuel pump and filter we bought original of the two,after all he drove it and said my car is back to life,me after driving the car it was still the same thing,you know how you'd start a car and want to move fast,it would delay for some seconds,that's how the car is working,but I remembered I changed my air filter,3 days ago,my car stopped consuming fuel within that period,but as it started this it was consuming alot of fuel,am tired don't what to do again,and have spent 20k already.

u try sha, but my method is:
note ur tank volume/size
locate a consistently accurate gas station
reset trip odometer, fill up tank from any level
drive and enjoy ur ride noting that ur next visit to the gas station will also be a fill up.
make sure u drive that car wella till reserve indicator lights up.
visit gas station and fill up.
note the litres it takes to do another fill up label that as X
note the trip reading on the odometer and label as Y
convert X to gallons, confirm Y is in miles else convert

MPG=Y/X

Let me start from the back. I will use Camry and Accord

Fuel economy
According to Edmunds Camry has a range of 407miles while accord has a range of 388. Thats a difference of 19miles. Camry has a combine MPG of 26 while Accord is 25. That means the fuel difference is under a gallon. My estimation puts it at around 2.7liter. Assume its 3liters, that translates to N435.

With Camry, we are looking at less than N500 savings.

Cost of parts
Am sure you know more about this, I will still say something.

Common replacement parts in Camry is stabilizer linkage, and shocks.

Common replacement parts in the Accord is stabilizer linkage, tie rod ends and wishbone bushing.

Sum the cost of these parts, they would be in the same range. In my local area. Camry would be more expensive with regards to these parts.

With regards to major repairs, Accord is still cheaper with cheaper engine and cheaper transmission.

Vehilce Application/Utility (these termd are synonymous)
If is commercial, say Uber/Taxify/airport taxi, Camry suits better especially with better mileage

If is private Accord suits better

If its car hire, due to the user preference of Toyota, its usually preferable.

Crownhouxe:
For a Toyota Corolla (2003-2006) you are barely breaking in the engine @ 70,000 miles or 112,000 kilometres if the vehicle was regularly serviced. I have read about many going well over 200,000 miles or 320,000 kilometres easy.

adanny01:
You have said it all but have not realised it.

From what you said, both cars were in almost the same condition. I would be right to say that the person who bought the Honda has more value for his money than the person who bought the Toyota.

The real issue is value. Toyota is overrated and because of its demand, it has also been over valued. There are cars to buy that will be appealing, reliable and give more value for money than Toyota.

Ask yourself why in buying a brand new Camry, there is a wide price gap to the Corolla, but as short as 5yrs later the second hand value of Corolla would have caught up with Camry.

If a brand new Camry is N20m and a brand new Corolla is N15m, 5yrs later, the Camry will be worth N7m and corolla N6m. In another 5years, you will see Camry N1.5m and corolla N1.6m.

Presently in Nigeria, a tokumbo 2010 Camry will be sold at same price with a 2010 Corolla and a 2010 Accord but the 2010 Civic will be cheaper.

Pls boss. With 1.8 what kind of vehicle can I purchase with low fuel consumption and maintenance

jimts:
I hope I won't be the last to comment.

I must confess that GAZZUZ on a different level completely. I too currently run a start-up auto workshop somewhere in Agbara, but I totally felt like a rookie tearing through this thread. What a geek!
I'm not only impressed with the job, but especially with the media coverage vis-a-vis your clarity of expression. I am sure we will have some dealings in the nearest future.

The Rio oil cap says GF3. My vehicle cap, a Honda says GF5 which is exact. Don't you think there could be some issues with the Rio?

Nope. Prayer brings good earnings. God directs your movement and positioning for profitable request and trips and even offline trips. Countless times I ve experience this.
