@Gazzuzz I no say you wan use me do yeye.. But no wahala.
The Car is drives so smooth and fast.

I can tell you, my 2015 Passat Cc drives so smooth than the Benz GL 550.

LolZz...
Out of fuel...ke?
The Stallion guy, Technician is here and he confirmed the fuel control module is fault.
I wonder while a new fuel Co trol module will go bad.
Though, his changing ni Sha... and will later diagnose the car. He assured it it will be fine.

Volkswagen.... Lovely drive but the wahala.

@Gazzuzz

I no fit park the car outside, Moreso na official car.
Though the Mechanic is on it way, but I was just worried what could be wrong with the car, having changed those components.

I perceived the fault is still from the fuel line...

LolZzz..

@Gazzuzz, abeg no make me laff.

Abeg wetin fit do this car.

GAZZUZZ:


When the overhaul was done, did it work?

@Gazzuzz
Yes it worked, I drove from Mile 2 to Maryland, from Maryland to Alapere, from Alapere to Ikorodu.

I still went to a few places within Ikorodu, till I got home around 12 midnight lastnight.

It was lastnight and I was about entering my gate the engine stopped and I tried to start it again, it will start and off immediately.
Now this morning, just cranking no starting.

So, it worked, well with AC and full operation as at yesterday afternoon till midnight.

A VW Passat cc 2015 model engine just stop when I was about to park into my compound after several waka.

The car has being abandoned for a year but overhaul was done early this week.

I changed the followings:
Fuel pump and it assembly.
Oil filter
Spark plugs
Air filter
Fuel control unit
Engine oil
Buzzer horn
Instrument cluster
Coding of the Cluster

I tried to start the engine multiple times, engine starts and off back immediately.
As at this morning, the engine is just cracking not starting.

What could be the problem again.

I wonder I never heard of Polytron from any of the Automobile and Oil specialist Gurus on this tread.

Does this mean, they don't know POLYTRON Metal Treatment Concentrate for ICE engines that reduces wear and tear to 99%.

Infact I can tell you that secret of most of those Synthetic Engine oil is the use of Polytron in mixture with their production.

POLYTRON is special oil addictive for the USA military machineries and equipment with great 99% performance across board.

Just surprised none of them mentioned it... Or maybe am living in Mars.
What you don't know, you don't know.

Hello Gurus,
I want to ask has anybody come across Polytron Metal Treatment Concentrate.
An oil treatment for ICE that treats metals inside the ICE and reduced friction and wear & tear to the bearest.

let anyone share their experience in using this Addictive.
Am not a fan of addictives but this Polytron has be preached beyond 100% performance to improve engine performance and reduces any friction inside the engine.

I want to use it for my Corolla 2005 engine.

Whats your take... on this Polytron

Hello Guys,
Have anybody ever heard of the Engine oil treatment called Polytron.
Yes Polytron Metal Treatment Concentrate.
I want to use it on my Corolla 2005 and I want to be sure how good the oil is.

Anyone will Polytron experience should please share.
Thanks

@OP
Please buy the RWD and not the AWD.
You achieve better mileage with the RWD and little or Zero maintainance on the Drivetrain other than the AWD.

IS250 08/10 is my next ride too, joining the Lexus Club.

IS250 08/10

This car is a good buy from the reviews I have read so far about it. I have reseached on it far and wide and I can deduce that it it a good car to buy. The 6cyl and 2.5litres engine displacement I think is a very good car for first time 6cyl users. It is the most fuel economy Lexus car you can buy. It is through that it the fuel economy is similar to a 4cyl camry of 2.5litres, the most fuel efficient Lexus that lacks power.

Though it is not a drivers car, for Car euthusiat who love sporty performance, and high Revs during driving will be disappointed and a major set back of the car from the reviews is the crampy space in the rear. This scores the car very low rating.
In terms of reliability, luxury, fuel economy and quality interior the car score high but for James Bond driving and interior space it is 2/10.

It is a very good car you will enjoy for long so far you use Recommended oils and lubricants, No abuse, the car is strong and the engine is built for a life time.
The car is a good upgrade from a Corolla or Honda Civic especially for average height owners.

My 10k kobo.

@Poster ask your Mechanic to check your Spark coils.
The spark coils are failing, it jerks when the engine is cold but accelerate wells when engine is hot.
The spark coils are failing, test it will new set of spark coils and tank me later.

This jerking is very deceptive, at one point you may think is the Fuel pump, Filter, nozzle etc but change the plugs and spark coils to new set.

I guess this mode of parking should be more important when probably you are parking on a Sloppy terrain.

The remedy to the Marital rape issue to marry 2 wives.
I wonder that our fathers dont have issues of Marital, so why now.
No, it won't work. 2 wives is the best, it is African and it remains the best.
All this one wife palaver will land you in problem.

2 years ago, I had a self accident at Iyana oworo i ward 3rd mainland bridge due to a reckless driver that overtook me at a close range i was avoiding to hit from the rear... so i swerved into the convert...i will actually label that accident as an act of being inexperienced on my part because it could have being avoidable.

Secondly was sometimes least year after a hectic day at day work on Lagos island, i was going home and there was this traffic caused by Village witchcrafts on 3rd mainland bridge, Mad traffic....Omo i no know when i begin dose for steering, i hear gbosa my eye clear sharply.
I don jam one prado rear recovery hook, my headlamp cracked straight.... the prado guy too no even come down sef, we dey follow the traffic go like that....Very mad evening..

@Polytronafrica
In what sizes are the polytron bottles available at and what are their prices.

I use a Corolla 2005 and i use 20w50 mobil oil for lube service.
I do my servicing every month or every 2000miles.
Can i apply polytron MTC for engine longer life in my next lube service.

@Sooperrescue

I used this popular Holts transmission fluid by a local manufacturer LB Industries on my Corolla 2005 model around April 2019, though no glitch has been recorded at all but could this have effect on my transmission in future or I should just drainage it out immediately and use Toyota T-IV.

Moreso, I uses the car for E- hailing business.

I agreed with the aesthetic interior nd body shape of Honda cars but Toyota is still the best most reliable and efficient car you can ever have with peace of mind.
Toyota for live!

@TRYGO

Thank you for your response.
The Corolla 2020 Hybrid am getting will be a foreign used one and am planning towards it by this time next year.
I will be using it as my personal car and certainly I move around alot due to my job but certainly NOT to be use for Uber.

Uber fire...my talking about a 2020 Corolla here.

I just wish to make use of a Hybrid spec and especially when Corolla now has a Hybrid spec, I wish to enjoy high MPG but if it will come with lots of precautions and challenges of unassured or guarantee Hybrid battery replacement that can tear my pocket into 2 piece irrespective of how many years I have been using the car then, I think I won't hesitate to do the ICE 2020 Corolla LE trim.

Do you have any input Sir.

TRYGO:

INTRODUCTION
This article is based on Toyota branded hybrid cars, specifically, PRIUS.
Hybrid electric vehicles(HEV), are a luxury to own, because of the many benefits such vehicles come with.
For instance, they've a low emissions carbon footprint; and tremendous fuel cost savings, etc.

Lots of potential hybrid car buyers, see the initial cost of purchase of such cars as exorbitant, or to say the least, very expensive.

One of the reasons such cars are expensive is because of the cost of production of the hybrid battery itself, and the benefits in terms of maintenance cost savings that would accrue to the customer spread over down over the years.

The composition of the battery, is totally different from the normal car battery. The normal car battery is lead acid type, while the hybrid battery is solely a NIMH (Nickel metal hydride ). The electrodes are made from transition metals, which have several applications in other fields.

DOES THE BATTERY LAST FOREVER?
I don't think so. Whatever goes through wear and tear, frequent usage, would definitely someday, fail.
Even healthy human beings suddenly falls sick, and if that person isn't lucky, could give up the ghost.
Toyota says its hybrid batteries lasts for the entire life of its hybrid vehicles, and at the same time says such batteries are under a warranty of 10years/150,000miles.

WHY DO SUCH EXPENSIVE BATTERIES FAIL?

*due to excessive mileages. It should be noted that if a car's mileage, for instance, was around, 300, 759miles, that the car should fail instantly. The operating voltage of the battery, and its amperages would still be able to absorb the load from the car's hybrid control systems. In some instances, the battery would suddenly go out of service as its state of charge (SOC) drops to 0%.

*excessive temperatures. because of the chemical composition of hybrid batteries electrolytes, excess heat tends to cause increased pressure buildups in battery modules.
It so very important to ensure that all blower fan inlet openings are not blocked; blower fans are working optimally.
It is this heat build up in this batteries that cause battery electrolyte leaks on hybrid battery terminals, and explosions also.

Exposing the car for long in the sun, also has its impacts on the battery. Get a shady place to park the car.

*manufacturing processes error. Not all battery modules manufactured in the production facility, would have the same precision during production . Errors could be introduced from human sources.
When such errors are noted as a result of public complaints, companies issue out recalls for such defects.

*driving conditions of car owner. aggressive driving, would shorten the lifespan of the battery; allowing the car in R(reverse), without moving, would abruptly drain the juice in the battery.


SYMPTOMS OF A FAILING HYBRID BATTERY

1. All the dash lights would be displayed on the dashboard, and on the MFD(multifunction display). You'll see lights like Triangle caution sign, check engine light, etc.

2. Unusual engine noise. The engine would frequently be running, instead of the normal switching of both ICE and electric motors.

3. Terrible gas mileage. The fuel consumption of the car would drop drastically from maybe 45-22MPG. If you notice such a deviation of the fuel economy from what it used to be, you've got a battery problem lurking already.

4. Fluctuating fuel gauge. The gauge fluctuates and gives a wrong reading.

5. Sudden drop in battery bars. You parked and left the car with a full battery bar, and suddenly when you came to start the car, you realized the bars have descended to a single bar. At thus point, the engine quickly starts to recharge the hybrid battery.

6. Blower fan comes on regularly. When the fan comes on regularly, it points to the fact that the hybrid is extremely getting heated up, and capacity is depreciating. So, the fan comes on, to help keep it cool, temporarily.

THE FIX?
Normally when hybrid batteries fail, it doesn't mean the entire battery modules in the pack have failed. It could be either one, or two modules have failed.

*Outright replacement. Such batteries can be replaced by purchasing a new one from the company concerned.
Toyota offers a 10year/150, 000miles warranty on its battery pack. It cost thousands of dollars to purchase. Its up to 3000$.

*Recondition the battery. This option is somewhat cheaper, but the labour hours required is more.
The battery in this option is sourced from a low mileage car from a junkyard.
It's advisable to know the history of the donor vehicle. If that can't be ascertained, get a warranty from the supplier of the battery. That would present a win win situation for both parties.
You could get a number of modules online from eBay, and so on. Wherever you're getting your source batteries/modules from, ensure they're loaded tested before buying them.
The cost of a battery pack for a Prius us about 200-250, 000 naira.

HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR BATTERY FIT

*Ensure the blower inlets located at the rear are not blocked by the seats coverings.

*Nip in the bud problems before they degenerate into bigger problems.
Don't ignore the triangle caution light sign(master warning light).
Get the car scanned for codes, and start from there.

*Sign up for a bimonthly battery health check. That would show you the current state of your battery, including battery block voltages, state of charge(SOC), and a lot more.
The health check is like a typical system that looks at the available amperage capacity of your battery.

*Carry out a recharge/discharge cycle two or three months, to bring the battery back to full capacity.
Check for corrosions on the battery terminals.
Corrosions o. the terminals would cause partial contact issues.

*Parking the car for long? If you won't be in town for months or weeks, you could pass your car to a friend to keep driving it, before you come. This is because, a parked hybrid car under the sun, would self discharge at a faster rate.
Hybrid batteries self discharge at a rate of 1% daily.

PS: Pictures below shows some of the battery reconditioning we've done.

CONCLUSION
Bear in mind that your car's hybrid battery would not last you forever.
Proper preventive maintenance of such batteries, would extend the battery even beyond Toyota's 10year/150,000miles warranty.

PS: Our battery jobs takes a week for installations and carrying out tests and calibrations.

@TRYGO Am seriously impressed with this eye opener information you have given up.
Am currently eyeing a Corolla 2020 model Hybrid trim, considering the fact that it give about 52MPG than the basic Corolla 2020 LE that gives about 34MPG.

I will be doing a whole lots of running around, what do you advice, should I maintain the basic Corolla LE trim or Hybrid.

I love the Toyota brand cars; Corolla, Avalon and Lexus ES series, I am a lover of Sedan, sleek and compact car and Toyota has never disappointed me in these 3 models of the manufacturer.
Currently I drive Corolla '05 and my next target car to own is the Corolla 2020 Hybrid.

I just love it and it is simple and classic!

Forceup:
Never say never dear.. The world is unpredictable.

I disagree with you, if you really want something endeavour to go for the genuine ones.
Let me tell you, it is an habit to either buy brand things or Second things. it is not a matter of never say never.
There are some people they can buy fourth hand products they are juat comfortable with it but I dislike such. That's is why you have things in various standards, go for the one you can afford but must be a Brand new.

Sometimes when you’re desperate to buy something, you lose all common sense

@Poster
This is a very expensive lesson, very very expensive.
So unfortunate that you had to learn this way because according to someone that said, the cost of your phone at 170k plus the cost of fixing the screen at 115k has already get you a Note 8 which is true.
I Don't understand why people can't buy brand new and genuine product from accredited dealer....becaise all these promo sales and UK used or Tokunbo products are penny wise Pounds and Dollar foolish.
It pays you to get a Brand new product from accredited dealers even if you will get it on mortgage, it really pays and keeps your mind at rest while you enjoy your products.
Samsung or Apple where dey get accredited dealers, you think say them Stupid.?
No dey are not but they know people will produce substandards of their product.
My brother, if I should advice you. Its either uou hire a soldier man to his shop and trade in the phone for another for you or your just forhet your 170k and give the phone to your Baby to serve as Bible, Dictionary or Gaming because if you attempt to repair the Screen with another 115k you are just thrown encountered another loss because the phone it's self is substandard and you can't use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) on substandard products, it wont last at all, it will pack up again.
