oluwaseunla: Is it 7k miles, or 7k km?
7k miles is [b]not excessive[/b] since the oil he is using is full synthetic. Most full synthetics can do 7,500 miles. do not exceed 5000miles with full synthetic.
I have seen the insides of a lot of uber/taxify engines, they are usually dark from over stretching oil changes. |

I might be wrong.
When a vehicle is parked is used on a normal warm day, the gasses in the fuel tank expand. That expansion of gassess is kept under control by the evaporative system.
Now a sittuation where you have a faulty evap valve (in engine bay), on a hot day the only escape route for gasses is up the faulty evap line which is connected to intake.
What happens next is you have an uneven proportion of fuel to air intake side (flooding) more fuel to air. Which results in a longer start only on a hot day. Let me go to my peugeot and get you a pic.

Car Talk › Re: 2002 Toyota Avensis Needs Conversion From Diesel To Petrol Engine. by GAZZUZZ(m): 3:07pm On Nov 16, 2017 |
Mrtesso: Greetings Gurus. All thanks to all the Selfless people who've made this section the enlightening department it is. God go bless una well well.
It all started when I called Gazzuzz and made an offer for his Avensis Wagon after seeing the ride. The bros declined conceding to my offer, he said it was too poor. And shortly afterwards they went to help me and jam the car. Then I stumbled on this one...
It's Tokunbo
2002 Avensis. It's neat albeit been parked for a long time at a car lot. It's 1.8L Diesel Engine•Manual Transmission•It starts•runs•drives. A/C, audio, seats all in tact. Most of the bottom is rust free.
Basically I wanna Know how feasible it is to convert from Diesel to Petrol engine plus including the cost implication.
I wanna know who's willing to pick up the gauntlet.
I admired the automatic transmission I tested earlier so I'll love to have the transmission converted too.
I sent Mr Gazzuzz pictures and sought his opinion. He said conversion is possible, but he declined the job, giving valid reasons for doing so. He recommended I create a thread here since there are elders who would be more keen on undertaking this kind of project with me. So here we are...
I'm yet to make payment for the vehicle. If it's worth it, certainly will.
I'll upload photos as network permits.
cc. Kingreign, Gazzuzz, Diportivo, nurey, aieromon, timifakay and the rest of them bosses.
I don't know everyone by their moniker, my apologies. Kindly copy them. I have an offer for you, call me. |

Ishilove: So atheists cannot apply? That's discrimination o. It is highly 'unfiya'  atheists are not welcome o!
Funny thing is I have tried this business in the past, and I was cheated by both muslim and christians.
The knowledge of good an bad, right and wrong is embedded in everyone, sadly a lot of individuals are shameless, and have no honour.
Returns from this kind of business is easy to squander, a married man will have better focus, and a target, he will also have an adviser (wife) who will constantly remind him of his obligations.
In case of default, he is easier to manage, unlike the single ones that will drop your key and hop on to the next train.

Car Talk › Re: Check Engine Light by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:28am On Nov 16, 2017*. Modified: 10:48am On Nov 16, 2017 |
Benosky011: Abeg my fellow Nairalanders, I need an advise on my Toyota Camry 2.4l. The car had run like 204,000mileage. I bought it in August this year (tokumbo) and used Hardex 5w 30 oil to service the engine.
Just yesterday, the check engine light puped up and was showing permanently. When I got to my office, I parked the car. In the evening, while going to an auto service center, I discovered that that same check engine light has disappeared. Till now, am not seeing it again, unless when I crank the engine.
Pls my brothers and sisters, what do you advise me to do now. The mileage since the last oil change is about 3,600. Since the light has disappeared, should I ignore it or what should I do. I understand the oil I used will lead to about 6mnts or 5000miles.
Pls advise me. Errors like small leak on evaporative emission control system, usually clear them selves when problem is fixed. It is possible your fuel tank cover was not locked in properly, and now it is.
Do not bother about going to an auto center, invest that money in a basic bluetooth scanner.
The engine oil you used is also not so great, but not bad either. Next oil change use better quality brands like mobil (USA)
Enjoy your car, get a scanner. |

ukata16: Oga @GAZZUZZ good morning.I Told an uncle about your works. The last port harcourt flood damaged his Prado jeep, some quacks did works but the car still has many issues, mechanical and electrical. It's a 2015 or 16 Prado jeep. The car moves sometimes but keeps throwing up issues. I want to know if it's what you can work on so I can get more info about the car, like dashboard displays, mechanical issues etc Thanks sadly my location is lagos, and will be unable to work In PH at the moment.
Cars were not designed to swim, one of the reasons flooded cars are not used in the U.S. Proble can be fixed, but a lot of time and patience is required.
Meanwhile if a prado can be flooded, what will happen to a reular sedan parked near it? |
Autos › Re: Putting A Vehicle On "E" Hailing Business Uber/taxify. by GAZZUZZ(op): 6:32am On Nov 15, 2017 |
Very important step.
Ensure vehicle is insured in your name, (ownership must be in your name), tick the flooding cover option, excess buy back, and all the usual options.
I remember an accord that got hydrolocked this year while driving thru flood, it was insured, but flooding was not ticked, it would have cost the owner nothing to get the engine replaced.
Avoid undervaluing your vehicle, avoid cheap insurance packages, long term it will not go down well. |

dejidotun2000: While we are on this....... Do you know if it's possible to ascertain the registration status of a car in Nigeria using the chassis number? It is complicated, The database is quite clumsy.
If you want to re-reister an already registered vehicle, the program will notify you of a conflict of VIN, you cvan search by reg number and get full info, but searching Via vin (option exists) never seems to work. |

But since he claims he lost d papers, collect d VIN No ie Chassis no and take it to Customs Office to see if they can trace it in their system. not possible.HazzanTazzan: Perhaps I shld ask another question you will answer ...
Is there any way to verify if a car has custom papers ... owner said he lost the custom papers ...
Since he can't provide it, is there a way to verify if it actually was done I know u like the car, but you do not have to buy it. |

some form of rust is unavoidable on suspension parts, but there is also evil rust....
I remeber one toyota sequoia being sold on NL for 800k, looked very clean on the outside, but it was extremely rusted underneath. That vehicle was only good as scrap.
Sadly rust can be covered up by paint, so you would have to be careful at this point.
Drive to a lube bay, and pay to use the pit. Go with a flashlight and inspect the under body extensively. If you have fresh paint under, its mostlikely covering somthing.
A car dealer taught me a quick way to detect flooded cars... Drag the drivers seat back, and check the bolt holding seat to frame for rust.... if rusted car was submerged.
Body parts..... |
