Mr Gazzuz

Wehdone sir,pls I want you candid advice on this, I intend to purchase one of this locally used cars.
* Toyota Corolla (bank type) 2006 @1.4m
* Toyota Corolla sport(American) 2006
@1.6m
* Toyota Corolla sport(American)2009 @ 1.9m.

My main issue is that my Kazeem says the 2009 corolla is not as rugged as the 2006 American corolla and 2009 Corolla maintainance is quite high. I checked the silencer of the 2009 and there was a little blackness when i touched in..I really like d 2009 Corolla sport trim tho..should I obey Kazeem Wasiu or follow my heart..?

N/B The car is for uber oh.
your mechanic is very right. The 2003-2007 corrola (bank or usa) is one of the most rugged vehicles I have come across. Currently getting an expensive vehicle for uber is not smart, (I have been there) get a cheap, sound fuel efficient vehicle. Any of the highlighted vehicles will suffice.

Your technician is right.

To think that I would write off an engine because of a misfire.

Please where in Ojodu-Berger /Ogba axis can I do an inexpensive car diagnosis on my corolla 2008 model? The engine red is below 1 & low that it could go off on ac.

The random misfire detected is usually caused when there isn't proper supply coming in from he nozzles. Ive dealt with this problem alot of times especially in toyotas. Sometimes the car will jerk and when you turn it off and on it will be ok. Usually clothes fuel lines that throw off the codes
why add oil treatment?

Totally wrong. Maybe someone else.
I am terrible with names, bad at remembering faces, but I never forget a quote.

That is my handwriting. I remember you very well, you were on the phone almost the entire time you were at the workshop. (not the face in the display picture) you were in for less than 30mins and I said come in 2nd week of next year.

The price for that engine was only obtainable in dec and possibly early January. Current prices fluctuate between 650-750k depending on source. (you were better off replacing it then)

We have to be really careful when discharging our duites. Brothers and sisters. Integrity matters.
I was wrong, 11.3liters of coolant required. Your. Preliminary quote is wrong you would need 3gallons of toyota long life coolant. It should have been N33,000 how did you manage to with 1 gallon Mr integrity? Did you mix with water?

This is the quotation that was given by the god for a vehicle that was just imported directly from UK. Barely one month when the vehicle was brought it was misfiring. The guy said the engine was totally gone. Imagine the pains of spending so much to bring down a vehicle and only for one god to tell u this. It only took a roadside mechanic to change the fuel pump and do a general service on the car. Now the coolant this guy said 22k was actually 12k. Now guys tell me if you owned this car and u were given a terrible diagnosis would you be happy?
excellent!! I thought it was you.

1. Car came into nigeria in a no start condition.

2. Engine had been disassembled previous (in nigeria with owners knowledge) and as at when it was brought in was rattling, and had misfires.

3 vehicle came in dec very close to the festive period.

4. Fans had been connected directly

5.engine was running on water.



Rattling suggest mechanical damage, very common with failure of the oil cooler at the base of the engine.

Possible parts affected are.

* Crank shaft and bearings
* camshafts

Previous repair history unavailable.


2gr-fe engine, coolant capacity is over 6liters of coolant.

Toyota coolant comes in 4liter packs. 22,000 is for 2gallons of toyota coolant @ 11,000 per gallon.

You imported a vehicle in a no start condition.

I still stand by my diagnosis that and engine replacement is the best solution "LONG TERM" that a vehicle starts and moves, does not mean it is sound. I do not believe in patch here today and patch here tomorrow.

If you remember well you asked for my acc several times and even offered to drop the vehicle, but I declined.


Is this is your reason for calling me a block head?

I would say service all your nozzles to remove the p300 to p304 code and possibly the p0012 code

use engine flush to remove the sludge built up, before changing your oil..add engine treatment
And make sure you put the correct oil grade.

The p0012 and p0113 p0133 are related, try replacing your air filter and deleting the code.
why? angry

Happy Sunday!

It's unarguable, owning a car in a city like Lagos makes life better and easier. And as a young man under 30, this is highly needed.

To this end, I'm committing to save up money over the next months to get a car, preferably, a Nissan (Maxima or Altima ).

Ceteris paribus, I'm looking at saving 100k each month, with an average of 600k at the end of the year. ..You think that can get me something nice?

Well, I'm optimist that I can make the cash even the year runs out...I pray everything good I intend or outlook will come to fruition, real soon.

Got any thought on this?
young man, do not set your self up. Do not be deceived by the great looking interior, and the fact that you see them moving around.

Your budget will get you the 2003-2006 max it will be nigerian used, and I can assure you by the time the car is done with you, you will understand the inner workings of a modern day vehicle.

You will also sell it for about 250-350k and appreciate the money.

I drive a 2004 Corolla Toyota and I scanned and got the following codes and what can be the issue as car hesitate on idle and drive fine on motion without any hesitation:

P0300 Random /Multiple Cylinder misfire detected
P0301 Cylinder 1 misfire detected
P0302 Cylinder 2 misfire detected
P0303 Cylinder 3 misfire detected
P0304 Cylinder 4 misfire detected
P0012 A camshaft position timing over retarded (bank1)
P0102 Mass or Volume air flow "A" circuit low input
P0113 Intake air temperature sensor 1 circuit high
P0133 02 sensor circuit slow response (bank1 sensor1)
P0171{pending} System too lean (bank1)
P0128{pending} Coolant thermostat (coolant temperature below thermostat regulating temperature
P0505{pending} Idle air control system
171, you have unmetered air getting into the intake side of the engine. Possible leak, check all rubber pipings, check base of injector seals, check "o" rings on intake.

128 you have removed your thermostat. Return it back

Your vehicle uses a drive by cable throttle body, and the idle speed valve actuator is either not connected, or the idle speed system is faulty. It might need cleaning or a replacement.

301-304 ignore for now

0012 possible sludge buildup (lack of a thermostat) causing the VVTI solenoid to malfunction. Also possible history of timing chain not installed properly

102 and 103 ignore (somone removed maf socket with ignition on)

And lastly 0133 excessive carbon buildup on 02sensor 1 bank 1 as a result of allllll the issues above. Decarbonize it and it will work fine.

Guy, a clear conscience fears no allegation at all. Why are you busy running up and down? Checking if I'm online or offline if you are sure you didn't do this. Like I said earlier on I don't want to expose your ignorance. I have stated my point to you. "step up your game". Kill the issue. It's dead, buried and gone but if you truly want me to go ahead and post evidences I'll go ahead and do that when im well disposed to do that but I tell you it'll be to your detriment.
please go ahead. I and every one else is waiting for the detrimental evidence.

When you called me a block head you were disposed to do that?

Pls hurry up with your evidence, no point burying it by your self.

Oga Gazzuz, you have not replied me. I'm ready to buy a car now, a 3 row seater, Nigerian used, 2005 upwards, 4.0ltr downwards, clean and sound. Budget range is 800k-1million.

Which model do you advice me to buy? Nissan Pathfinder? Toyota Sienna? Can you recommend any available one? Cash is ready and is hurting my hands wink
GAZZUZZ:
First I will assume both vehicles are 1999-2002 max.

One is an SUV, the other is a mini van

Both have V6 engines.

The sienna is front wheel drive, while the pathfinder comes in 4wheel and rear wheel drive.


I am not a fan of both vehicles.

Sadly I cannot help you with this choice, as their applications differ.
Ebenezeronline:
Oga,dont assume anything o. I said 2005 models & upward
your budget will not get a good vehicle.

Hi guys. Just yesterday my parking brake light(BRAKE) came on and wouldn't go off even when the parking brake is disengaged. I read about it online and was told to top my brake reservoir fluid, which was actually low. I topped the fluid and pumped the brakes but the light won't go off. My brakes still work fine and my parking brake works as well. Please any idea on what might be the cause? It's a Toyota Camry 2000 4cylinder
Thanks in advance
