I'm still awaiting maintenance tips from you guys especially the professionals. Mr Siena please take note

youngchopper: pls dont top it again. Watz the colour of water in ur radiator?

Bluish

youngchopper: congrat on ur car. Pls if u av been topin water every day or once a week in ur radiator pls stop cuz u will damage ur engine. Its either ur radiator leaks or ur rings are worn out. Neva u top only water and dont remove ur thermostary . For ur engine servicing consult ur manual cuz a month as been advice by those naitalanders is to small.

The car was delivered to me from cotonou yesterday. The enthusiam makes me to open d bonnet and top up the radiator water. I saw my neighbour doing that on daily basis,so I thought it is a daily ritual to be done on a car.
I appreciate you all.

big warning!!!!

never let anybody wash ur engine


Never!!!

u can hand-clean ur engine by urself using a cloth soaked with kerosine to removes oil and grease stains

so again do not let anybody wash ur engine; letting steam in some component could be costly

after that im sure there is a lot nl will tell u when u are back

Thanks a lot for this information.

littlejoe8: Lady golf3 is a very good & rugged car but that is if u maintain it as due. Don't 4get 2 check ur radiator water level & don't over fill it as it may cos overheating if u do. Be sensitive to the fan 2 know if its working well & always read ur dashboard indicators like ur temperature gauge, oil alarm switch, ensure they are working. If possible keep d car engine away from water as d engine doesn't like water. Service the engine on monthly basis by changing engine oil, oil filter & plugs if possible.to enjoy dis car u nid 2 be sensitive 2 ur engine. Lemme know if u nid more detail.

Hope I have not committed a blunder ?cos i filled up the radiator this morning. How should I top up the radiator?
Does keeping the engine from water means I should not take it to car wash for engine washing? Cos someone suggested that the engine should be washed b4 i start using it. Infact, I'm proposing to visit d car wash this afternoon.
Please, how do I read the dash board? I dont know what all those lights stand for except d pointers
Thanks for being there

I'm a lady who just got a Golf 3(Auto). I'm also an
amateur when it comes to driving experience as I was only opportuned
to drive my sister's mazda 626(Auto) for a week in 2007. I cruised the
car for a week within Ilorin metropolis without any guide
successfully. All I have was just the confidence. Beside that,I knew
nothing about car or driving.
I'm presently residing in Akure(Ondo state capital) while working in
Ado-Ekiti(Ekiti state). I travel to and fro on daily basis within this
route which covers 42km. The road being rural but interstate road is
hardly traffic but perforated with potholes and ditches while it is
also hilly and has bends. I intend to be using the car on this road on
daily basis except sundays.
Having known me-gender,car type,transmission,road,expertise and knowledge about car,kindly advise me professionally on how to maintain the car on daily basis. What I should do on daily,weekly and monthly basis for the car to be durable and non-problematic.
Thanks in advance.

puffpuff: Is correcting your grammatical blunders now makes me a muslim or hausa? This shows how myopic you are. For your information, I'm a christian from western Nigeria.
