Car Talk / Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by Issyman(m): 5:30pm On Dec 11, 2013 |
oga Nissparts, I own a 96 Nissan almera automatic transmission. I am in love with the car seriously but my problem with the car is the A/c. I have spent over N150k trying to fix this problem on different occasion. different guys have worked on it but all to no avail. some months back, a guy told me to fix a Toyota camry dryer and condenser. he gave all the assurance in this world that it will work. I commissioned him with 35k to fix it. unfortunately, he changed them 2ce and claimed that all is well. after test running the car, I discover the a/c only cools when I accelerate, he claimed that the compressor he bought was damaged by the faulty condenser or dryer which he had to change. so he requested me to buy another compressor which I refuse for the past three months. my question is that do you think if I do that, the a/c will work perfectly and also can you get me a very good compressor cos I discovered that all compressors I have bought so far in Abuja are not always good. expecting your response. thanks. |

Otunba Siena, well done for the good work on this forum. I appreciate of you guys-you, ikenna,car doctor, lomomike and all the gurus in the house that have been sharing their knowledge with us. I can proudly say that I now challenge my mechanic views on repairs. I now know more. when you ask all these our mechanics about your observations on your car, they will always tell you "oga leave am like that, nothing go do am or it will go away". I have always been a Nissan user and now a Toyota user (03 camry). Otunba Siena, I will need ur sincere advice on 2000 Volkswagen Passat cos I am contemplating on getting one instead of carina E. my fear on the Passat is the durability, reliability, cost of maintenance and availability of the spare parts. pls, can you enlighten and advice if I should go for the car. Note: I want to buy for my madam and location is Abuja. atleast there are good roads. expecting your prompt response. thanks. |

Car Talk / Re: Beware Of Catalyst Stealing Mechanics, Welders And Car Dealers!!!! by Issyman(m): 9:45am On Nov 21, 2013 |
olumide4christ:yes it is. I think the major problem here is that its either the catalyst is removed or expired. what is the average life span of the catalyst? a mechanic first checked and told me its there while the panel beater told its not. I don't trust both judgement until I have time to have it checked maybe it was there or not or expired. I think another issue we also have to bear in mind is that we are all buying fairly used cars (tokunbo). to me its a matter of luck. this cars have been used for average ten years depending on the model, so we don't expect it to be performing or be intact like a brand new. sincerely speaking, jelad ventures by my own experience with him is sincere enough for an average Nigerian biz guy. |
Car Talk / Re: White Smoke When I Start The Engine -03 Camry (EXPERTS IN D HOUSE TO RESPOND PLS by Issyman(m): 6:07am On Nov 20, 2013 |
car-doctor: The mileage is 178K. Mechanics said it's the valve seal in the engine. I checked a website called carcomplaints.com the same complaints were made and culprit was valve seal. I also learnt from there that it's a common problem to the model at average of 100K miles. Where is your workshop in abuja car doctor? |

JUO: my guy u too worry! how often do You top the oil?Guy, I am even afraid to touch the car. I stopped using it for the main time until the issue is resolved. It's only used for short distance and not often. I discovered on sun that the oil is becoming short. Am not just happy about opening up the engine of a car I bought less than one month. |
Car Talk / Re: Beware Of Catalyst Stealing Mechanics, Welders And Car Dealers!!!! by Issyman(m): 8:59pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
@op This issue of catalyst is becoming unbearable. Out of every 10 cars bought either from Lagos ports or cotonou, 9 must have been removed. It's so sad. My dealer friend claimed that my car catalyst is intact while a panel beater said it has been removed. I went for a scan and Catalyst error came up. It's sad. A friend told me that I shouldn't bother cos he has been using his DC like that. Pls where is your workshop in abuja. Pls u can contact me on 0802849204 to meet. Pls u can send sms. Thanks 1 Like |

Car Talk / Re: White Smoke When I Start The Engine -03 Camry (EXPERTS IN D HOUSE TO RESPOND PLS by Issyman(m): 11:51pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
I still need u guys response on this issue cos am very scaring of opening up the engine of the car. Some comments are hidden by the moderator I guessed. Like I mentioned earlier, when I took custody of the car, it was only steam that came out for the first 2days before the oil change. It was after the oil change that I noticed the smoking like keke napep when u start the car after the engine has cooled off. So I wonder aw can just changing the oil damage the valve seal. Am thinking maybe it's a wrong oil that was used cos the car manual states 5W30. It's a 2AZ-FE engine. Pls my people am still waiting for ur professional advice. Thanks to you all |
Car Talk / Re: White Smoke When I Start The Engine -03 Camry (EXPERTS IN D HOUSE TO RESPOND PLS by Issyman(m): 7:31am On Nov 15, 2013 |
@gluck4cars. Thanks for ur response. I checked the oil stick, the oil is a bit from the full sign i.e the upper hole on the stick. Secondly, the smoke now lasts for almost 25seconds cos I checked it this morning and it happens anytime the engine cools down. Thirdly, when I scanned the car, the code was catalytic error. So I got a panel beater to help ascertain the state of the catalyst converter (indomie) yesterday and he told me it's bad and also there is small leakage on the exhaust. My mechanic said it's probably the valve seal that is the culprit which another mechanic also suggested but am weary of them opening up the engine. |
