I use like 20k per week, drive to my children school leave the car there, take 700 okada to work, repeat at close of work, return to pick the children and we head back home...anywhere else na okada or trekking I can't be spending half of my salary on fuel ,yet I see some Co workers bringing car to work daily, I wonder how they do it...abi no be the same office we dey?
Their car might be fuel efficient, my guy car uses 6L per 100km, while mine uses 40L per 100km......we uses same exact car, I have done literally everything to lower the fuel consumption but no difference, so I dey drive am like that.


Where I would go with 40k fuel my guy just need to buy 6k fuel to go that exact location, what an irony.

The comments above from people, sarcasm or not, adjudging the post to mean one can build thus structure with 500k is baffling. Classic Nigerians, slow to process issues but very quick to talk and criticize.

What OP meant is that instead of paying 500k yearly if you find a way to gather 10-15 years rent money, you can erect such a structure.
Omo, the thing shock me, I still dey surprised until this very moment, almost all the comments above and below, omo.....I'm still in shock until this very moment.

Its not the nozzle. Pls give that mechanic like 6 slaps. He is a thief. How are we sure the catalyst is not blocked
He convinced me to change the injectors, I changed them this morning, no improvement. After changing it, the car vibrates when starting, and also does not have much firing power anymore. I bought used injectors, he said with time they would adjust and the firing power would return to normal.

These are the injectors that I removed.



Also, I earlier changed the two front tyres and today, I changed the two back tyres, yet no significant difference, are 20 rim tyres this costly? I bought one for 70 thousand, Belgium tyres.

Have you been able to solve the problem? I use the same car with a V6 engine and so far so good no problem(bought mine Naija use too). Let me know if you need my help
I have not been able to solve the problem, I changed the oxygen sensor two days ago as advised, I changed tyre's too but yet no changes. I'm really so devastated, I just can't think straight anymore.

It’s not a scanner, I got it as well, but from Temu though, the seller claimed It’s a fuel saver, once plugged on the mouth that they normally plug OBD scanner, I did as advised, but it doesn’t work, it doesn’t in anyway save fuel.

Dont mind that one that posted that mpg...maybe he bought the car direct tokunbo,not nigerian used.
Boss, I know he must have bought direct Belgium, which I’m planning to buy next. But why Is my mpg so extremely low compared to hishuh It’s same car, same year, same engine, same gear box, same plugs etc, the list Is just so endless. But, I just can’t seem to in anyway comprehend, what the problem might be. I’m really so devastated.

Check to see if the O2 sensor in the vehicle gets hot. If yes then it still works a bit but if not then it's bad.

Washing with choke cleaner has no effect. When it's bad it's bad and you have to change it. Check your plugs that they are very okay. Remove your battery terminal for about 5 minutes while pressing down your brake pedal and put it back

I use same vehicle
Wow, whooping 25 mpg

I dey suffer 😭😭😭

Nigeria used vehicle grin

Well, I'm not surprised

That was the major reason the owner sold it off to another unsuspecting innocent Nigerian.

12M is on the high side actually for a Nigeria used, you should have bought it around 8.5M

I'm very sure that vehicle history would be very ugly.
This is exactly what a mechanic told me, he said it is the reason the car was sold.

G boy,money miss road.i will buy the car for 1m. Engine has overheated,engine has been opened,and car is endless moneypit.1m is on the table.go and buy thinner of 1000 naira,1000 naira worth of thinner is about 35cl,like small maltina plastic size. Pour it into your fuel tank,buy fuel of 30k,take the car to express,and do Italian tune up. That is,u go dey match 130kph for at least 30mins,no braking,no stopping....do it and give feedback.make sure u down the 30k fuel till reserve light comes on. It would expell all carbon on your plugs,02 sensors,exhaust,catalysts. I've done it for about 5 diff people and till tmrw,they still regard me.
Thank you I will do exactly as you've said, please where can I buy the thinner?? Please am anxiously waiting for your response. Please

You bought a flooded vehicle.

Remember the floods in Nigeria last year and the damage they did to vehicles?

Well, most of those cars have been "worked on" and are now in the market as beautiful brides.

Always use a "powerful scanner" before buying any car, much more 9ja used.

Sorry for your travails.

At best, that car you bought 12m was 8.5
I haven't bought my scanned at the time that I bought this car, I would have gone with it to scan it, I saw that it was keyless and I was so anxious to get it, it's such a pity that my desperation landed me in such tragedy.

I will sell for 10m but I won't sell for 8.5, the car exterior is still new.

Quite sad, I know how you feel, I have seen some stranger cry at a car stand and begging for refund even if not full refund, this was a bad honda civic.
Two codes could give you this pocket draining issue, the MAF and manifold code, I am leaning towards the MAF code though. Check the connectors/pins of your MAF sensor, also have an electrician check the wiring, try with a known to be working MAF sensor from another vehicle.
If the above fails, move on to the intake manifold sensor, check the wiring too, if that is fine, then you may need to replace the intake manifold, as a bad intake manifold could give you the MAF code.
If all else is fine with this vehicle, then surely this can be fixed, easier if it's the MAF, a little expensive if it's the intake manifold, I don't think car dealers here do refunds, they're mostly crooks and often have the backing of local law enforcement, you know how it goes.
Next time, do not skip the proper inspection process, mpg is what you see on the dashboard, how did you miss that? Good luck and do update the thread so people learn a thing or more about such issues.
Thank you so very much sir, I will do exactly as you've said, does the 2012 camry uses same maf sensor as a 2009 camry? I will try it right away as soon as I hear from you if they're the same sensor, thank you so very much sir, am anxiously waiting for your response.

It's going down more.

I don't think the tank is leaking, there would have been fuel on the exact place I parked the car.

Don’t use Camry ,you guys won’t hear word. No matter what you change in the car,that’s how the car was designed to function except you want to alter its functionality.

Sell off and get a fuel efficient car.🚘
I have used 2012 corolla in the past, it's not a fuel guzzler like my present car, it normally goes 100km for 17 liter of fuel. I wanted to upgrade, I sold it and bought a camry, I rode the camry for 4 months, before deciding to upgrade again, which I got this Camry.

Contact the dealer or company and discuss the issues, if they can refund or give you another one. Also, hope you haven't been buying your fuel from the same station?
I have been buying my fuel from same place, same exact place I have been buying from on my older car.

Engine dey work, gear dey work, electrical dey work, AC dey work, alternator dey ok...catalyst dey dia...
...in a Nigerian car dealers dictionary ...that's the definition of a 100% okay Nigerian used car.... If he see refund, make I bend
Everything you made mentioned here are all working and intact, except the catalyst, which I bought separately as It wasn't intact when I got the car,I was advise by a mechanic to buy catalyst, I sent him the money he bought and inserted It, both on the front bonnet and on the bottom of the car.
