Na poverty dey worry us for this country. Must we always consider resale value b4 we buy a car of our choice. If money dey, we go just buy am and dash it out when not needed again.
Lol see you, which kind poverty ?? Even eyinbo Dey resell their cars. They don’t just DASH out cars.. They go back to dealership and get a latest model, drop the old model… Resale value matters a lot.

How do you guys attain this high MPG? Cos mine is 11mpg

IS350
No CEL
Everything runs smoothly
Used to be 15 MPG until I drove down to Calabar. It’s been hovering between 10.9mpg and 11 MPG since I got to Calabar
When I just got my Lexus recently, i noticed it doing 9.1 city drive and 12.1 on highway.

When I investigated my self, it happens that I had a back exhaust leak, and 3 of my caliper is sticking…

After fixing I got 17 mpg on my next highway drive…

I haven’t taken it out again on a long journey but now I get 15mpg within city drive. I have not done any servicing to the car so far

Car TalkRe: My Car Has Been Blinking Oil Light For Over A Month by homeboy205:
calebseun2015:
I drive Toyota Camry, it has been blinking oil light for a month, I have changed the sensor that takes signal to the dashboard from the engine but no solution yet.

When I drive short distance like 10-15 mins, the oil light do not show but whenever I drive over 30 mins, the oil light start to flash regularly though the oil still use to gauge every morning. Please help
Hmm since a month ago?? Na wa oo.. have your mechanic open the bottom tray(as dem go understand) and clean the oil pump filter….

This engine is going for more than 400k now

The decision is in your hands

I would appreciate it if someone can recommend a good Lexus mechanic in Ibadan.
Cos my eye don see!!
I am in Ibadan and I just started driving Lexus,

It depends on the problem you are having with your Lexus. For me, I have a pocket scanning device which I use to scan for engine troubles and most time it’s always something I can fix myself.

But I have reliable boys at the back of the prison yard who help me with the legs…

I have been using them for years because any mechanic you took your car to in Ibadan is still coming to gate to buy the part. That is why I love the prison yard right beside the market

Hi Guys,

It has been several times my headlights are burning out. And once it was when I was on a night ride. I showed some mechanical shops but still, the problem persists. When I searched on google about this, I came across a blog post, https://undergroundlighting.com/blogs/headlight/why-does-headlights-keep-burning-out but don’t find the issues mentioned in this.

Can you guys please help me? Do you have any idea what might be the problem causing this?

Yes you can. To give the tyre a better chance of surviving our pothole infested roads, you can take the pressure up to 35psi. Cheers
Away from the Vawulence

I’ve got feedback…

I reduced the Tyre pressure to 35psi and the road noise I usually feel went away…

And the handling feel much better

You can drive for upto 4-5years without touching them as long as they are in good condition.
Quick question boss, I changed my tire from “55 to “60, and the service history that came with the car said pressure should be 32 for both front and rear tire.

Can I maintain the service history and put 32 in the 60 inches tire ??

Car is ES 330 05

Nice one bro, why I'm so concerned is how someone can be caught in the act and be so arrogant, how annoying is that?

Talking about someone that actually tries his best by purchasing tokunbo engines in his tokunbo vehicles, can dru do that?

Lemme not bore you, i await the fraud to return from church( I assume his absence here means this since he has very itchy fingers). I have a few questions I need to ask him.

Car TalkRe: Honda Accord 2011 Engine Issue by homeboy205: 8:26pm On Oct 09, 2021
asomix22:
Good evening.
I changed my Honda Accord Engine this year. After about 2 months coming back from a road trip, the engine knocked. A mechanic said the knock is due to the oil pump not supplying.

I got a new engine 2 weeks afters and in less than two weeks, i was hearing a noise from the car, so i chacked and someone said its the adjuster that is making noise.

The mechanic now came to pick the car with thr hope of changing the adjuster. After changing it, the noise persisted. That lead to the mechanic checking the engine and upon checking, the Camshaft was bad. Again, the mechanic said the oil pump failed and that was what led to the damage.

I will like to understand the likely cause. Two engines in less than 4 months.

Please note that i used different mechanics to install the two engines.
Maybe na wrong oil you Dey use undecided

No it can’t but the compression will force all the water out of the chamber…

Guys is anyone familiar with the muscle gearbox? I am considering changing the gear oil due to delay in engagement but some mechanic advice against it and that its just best to buy a new one . however its too expensive

Advice welcome
thanks
Lol they want you to change the whole gearbox without changing oil ?? What happen when the new one also start delaying engagement?? You buy another ?? Omo na scam.. run ooo.

Meanwhile changing the gearbox oil is a cheap fix that worth trying…

Did you inspect your oil ?? Black? Smelling burnt ??

Can you explain this last paragraph better sir, what do you mean by "remove spark plugs and start again"?
You mean to clean spark plugs and start the car?
He meant when you removed spark plug from the spark plug well, it will allow the water to blow out because water can’t compress inside the combustion chamber and cause serious damage like this at high RPM
