Some weeks ago I made this post:

https://www.nairaland.com/6309298/customized-iron-works/1#97259510

I have them now in my hands in Nigeria.

I want to thank @Seun for providing this platform. I want to thank @RadAutoworks majorly for buying the magnets and especially bringing it here and to @Gazzuzz and his logistics company for collecting it and delivering to Ibadan.

Let’s weld.

Where for Ib you Dey boss. ?

Kingdemu:
He said he didnt paint it. He never said the car hasn't been painted.

Ah confusion left and right

Josyakin:
I didn't paint it

Lol if no be you paint ham, we gree but this car has been painted in Nigeria

Dangote gbas gbos don tell us say gbas gbos plenty for this year

Nice perspective

But we still get cold in 9ja, and I’d prefer we stick to factory spec

*****I support the motion of factory recommended oil*** And I respect your point of view too

merits:
Moderator this should go fp asap cuz a nlander is stranded let be our brother helper.

Lol I can bet the brother is no more stranded since 2013...

ptoall1000:
so the car is 09 corolla, the guy that checked the AC said they hv changed the compressor to Peugeot one and that it has hooked. To replace it with another Peugeot is 15k, but the corrola manual compressor is 60k, while the automatic compressor is 45k. How true sirs and MAs?

Firstly out of everyone here, I think Na only Aunty Rad Auto be the only professional “Mam” in this section.

Well from what I learnt here, manual compressor is always cheaper than automatic because it’s like bypassing the system.

So for him to quote you 45k for automatic and 60k for manual, that means he wan make you buy another automatic after the first one you are going to buy from him fail before making you
Go back to Manuel or Peugeot... he just wan milk you.

Good God your gut don’t trust him.

Wait here for recommendations and don’t go back to him again

Aanumi16:
Oga get your car scanned and post code here for help. A lot of things can make your oil pressure light come up

Yes true but if the check engine is not ON prior to this, I’d say it has nothing to do with scanning.


@OP, open your bottom tray ASAP and wash the clogged oil pump mesh filter. That is the first cheapest fix

chronos00:
Lol, have no fear

That little detail he mentioned is a pointer that he may own an older model vehicle, or a non-North American model vehicle.

Many older vehicles used the R12 refrigerant system which was the predecessor of the R134a system in most cars on the roads today. With the R12 system, there's a sight glass in the engine bay connected to the AC hoses that indicates the level of refrigerant present in the system.

The R134A system eliminated the sight glass.

Lol you explain it perfectly, I owned a camry

Peppermintflav:
Nah.. nothing close to it. There's a machine called vacuum pump. You hook it up to the ac system , plug it in ecectricity and leave it for nothing less than 30mins.it will suck out all the air and moisture in the ac lines and components.

You Na OG I swear

Peppermintflav:
Vacuuming removes air and moisture from the system. This leaves room for only gas to go round your ac system. This in turn gives better cooling. Besides... air and moisture mixed with gas and oil causes chemical reaction within the system and with time causes damage to the compressor/ the entire ac system.

An ac system done properly without leaks will stay up to a year without topping gas.
I remember my sister's 96 Carina e. The car was used for 5years plus, and the ac was never worked on for a day.

Boss I was just gonna ask you this oo. Never top up my car ac for 3 years and it’s chilling in hot sun at lowest.

From a little glass transparent on the AC line I can see the gas is low. But AC still chill.

I wanted to top up but I am staying by the rule, if it’s not broken don’t fix it

Please advise

Peppermintflav:
Harp Gas

Thank you

Peppermintflav:
Bros I won't lie, na my boss fill the system. And he has no guage. His system is to fill small check the return. Till the return hose is very cold. But it took a while cos of the big condenser. Once I get my vacuum pump I'm discharging the whole system and I will buy Harp gas or Snow and use my scale to weigh while recharging.

Is your pump for sale?

What is the best AC gas you’d recommend ??

Okoyedavid3:
Thanks... Have managed to get some tools like a multimeter checked the ignition coil and discovered one to be bad...of which I replaced, car now running smoothly, I don't feel any usually vibrations or misfire, car revs fine at idle.. But then again after doing 21miles misfire code comes up.... P0300,p0301 and p0305.

Pls what could be the cause of this, kindly assist as I don't like seeing the CEL on.

You are having random misfire. Change the PCV valve, that is a cheap fix

ivcraig:
I just purchased a Toyota Camry 03 and I noticed, the engine makes a wierd noise sometimes.

The dashboard light indicates "Check".

I scanned the car with an OBDII scanner and it showed this error code: P1656 TOYOTA - Oil Control Valve Circuit Malfunction

I showed a mechanic and he said I will need to change oil pump/filter or so but the error doesn't say that's what's wrong. He said oil is not being supplied appropriately to the engine, so when there's shortage of oil, the engine makes the noise.

Has anyone ever had similar experience?

Kindly assist as I don't like trial and error when fixing cars, because it wastes a lot of money.

That code is for a sensor, change the sensor first and see how is goes.

If the error is back, CHANGE YOUR MECHANIC

Tell the new one to open the bottom tray( cos the right English is engine sump but they will not understand) once they open the bottom tray, have them remove the mesh oil filter and wash it with petrol. DONT ALLOW THEM TO CHANGE THE OIL PUMP.

The sensor you are looking for is at the back of the engine around passenger side and right below the top engine cover

Aunty, I have referred people that bought 0w20 and 5w30 and original denso plug from Ibadan ,


I deserve something nah ... cos I get more referrals coming up

How far with check engine light ?

Sensor don’t come with spare Tyre broda, just buy the missing one. But with this your terms with car, I’d suggest you calm down. So dem Kazeem nor go turn you to food.

What do I know self ??

We wait for them Oga’s

It is because the handbrake is engaged

Happiestman1:

The green one is parked which means you are sitting in your car while been parked and handbrake engaged and the your door opened.

What you should be worry about is CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

Lol I been dey reason that too. Maybe dem tamper with the mileage Na hin cause ham. OP send him your VIN and some money for checking

luvinhubby:
Just got back to town after being away for 5weeks doing a project in my village and couldn't respond because of poor and erratic data coverage in my hometown. Sincerely appreciate everyone that called and sent chats concerning this to me.

All baby boy 4 cylinder engine use the same gearbox, both America and Europe spec, the only ones different is the UK spec and V6.

If gears have issues after being sold, a trusted rewire is sourced by dealer to rectify it and in the event that it cannot be rectified, a replacement is made upon returning the former gear or a refund if no other one available.
Services of reliable gear rewire was turned down twice and gear speed sensors requested by op which was sent to him.
Called my attention late August that he wants a replacement and was not ready to return the previous one which is NOT a norm in auto parts transactions globally. Was willing to do that but told the op it can only be done when i am personally around and asked him to call me on the weekend to see if am back.
Saw a text from him instead calling me a criminal who intends to defraud him and as matter of principle, i don't respond to offensive communications in transactions.


Will need the op to point out the criminal intent observed by him in all my transactions with him within the next 24hrs, if he does so successfully, i will refund the 85k plus and additional 15k to him and post the transaction details here. If not, i will strictly enforce the market conditions of gear transactions on this transaction.

I was expecting an explanation longer than this, but what do I know

promotervickky:
In real life you can't tell me these, you only can type insults via phone

Fear what you don’t know

promotervickky:
Why are you so stupid? Are you the one to tell me what to do?

You nor wise as far say people with free vin check Dey this forum, you nor go get any customer I promise you.

Better think about another tactics of doing your business or else hunger go wire you “.


And beside remember, NO ADVERT HERE

promotervickky:
You need to pay

Pay for what exactly?? Why can’t you be civil and be your brother’s keeper for once??

He need only MILEAGE not full report.

Let me tech you business,

Next time you should have helped him check the mileage alone and tell him he will pay if he need comprehensive, and through your sincerity, I’m sure he will trust to patronize you for full report.

But instead see as dem spoil your eye.

You didn’t even get a thank you talk less of payment

AND WHERE THAT PERSON WEY WON DIE FOR HAM ?? Na you we suppose hold now wey he don go MIA

SoadAutos:
If you read through all my post with regards this matter....I was very clear about my grievances..... he stopped picking my calls and responding to my SMS.
The last time we talked he asked me to call him on a particular weekend earlier this month and I waited patiently till that day and when I called as requested by him he refused to pick. I called at reasonable intervals (considering he may be busy) for 2-3 days and sent SMS and no response.
Also while I was calling and he's not picking I ask a friend to call and he picked.
I also mentioned earlier that this is not meant to embarrass him but to seek intervention. This is an open space and I believe he will see my submission and if truly your defence of him is real I expect him to do the needful and I will surely come back to this thread to mention this to the whole house.

Please stop explaining yourself, and you have the right to call him out. He should come and say something to
