Hello evryone,

I wish you all a great week ahead. Please permit my grammar if you find any.

I have a Toyota corolla 2005 sport which bought earlier this year used.

The car was perfect in all sense and was tested by mechanics as I don't know much about cars. After about a week or 2 I decided to put catalyst converter on the car as to reduces emition and improve fuel economy as people told me it helps. After I added the catalyst that is where I believe my issues with the car started.

First, I started to noticed excess smoke from the exausht, which I was told its the o2 sensor. I changed it and then it happened again this time I didn't even use the car up to 2 days. I took it back to the mechanic and he said he will fix it which we changed the o2 sensor again.

After this smoke and o2 sensor issue started I notice I loose power in acceleration and my car seems to misfire more frequently which I complained to the mechanic who said I should be "managing my car like that" and said corolla are not too powerful.

After 2 days pf changing that sensor the car jumped timing which the mechanic told me. Long story short it went from timing to oil pump to cylinder head to slack of timing chain which I fixed everything and the car seemed to be fine again.

Now the car still brings black smoke and is still burning o2 sensors and vibrates when I turn on the Ac and in all this is heavily consumes fuel like its nothing. All this happened within 3 months of buying this vehicle and I just tired.

A somewhat prominent rewire told me the brainbox is the cause that it's fault and that's what is causing the issue which some other people are telling its not the brainbox that is not possible for the car to keep functioning as it is if its the brainbox.

I am seriously tired I don't know what to do I have spent a considerable amount of money on this car yet I am still facing issues with it. Right now I just need a proper diagnosis so I can make the right repair. If you guys can help me I will be grateful I bought this car as to start my business and since I have not been able to even use it for normal use let alone start the business.

Emefiele is in for a long ride, longer than River Nile.If anyone had told him beforehand that such legal woes would befall him when he was working under the Lifeless One,he wouldn't have believed.
But now his woes are here and he has to face them.He deserves worse for plunging Nigerians into two months of Antichrist-like suffering,where you have hundreds of thousands and millions in your account,but can't withdraw.
God punish Devil.

Good boss. Pls I have an issue. Had my Gasket changed for my 2014 Camry which was slightly damaged due to overheating. Does changing the Gasket automatically stop the overheating? I also noticed that my car doesn't have Radiator leakage but I have to put water like every 2 days.

Good afternoon everyone, I have a '97 pencil light Camry automatic transmission that my mechanic helped change the gear oil last week Thursday (first time I'd be changing the gear oil after using for over a year though we top it occasionally - it's a first car)

On Sunday 23rd July, I noticed it wasn't getting into reverse gear when I wanted to park and I called the mechanic but he was out of town. When I got back home I tried again to park with reverse and laboured to move it, reversing wasn't smooth, it jerks.

On Monday it reversed smoothly without jerks. I still notified the mechanic he then said that he will call someone whose expertise is in gears and will ask him to come and check the car. Reversing was smooth yesterday Wednesday too.

Although I plan to sell the car by November/December for another ride but I don't want mechanic to fleece me unnecessarily before then. Between Sunday and now, no mechanic has checked it because I am always busy at work and I would like to be present when they are checking it for faults.

Please I need your contributions on this, is it something that can be corrected without need of gear replacement, I want to be armed with information before any mechanic touch it.

Thank you.

The car is too cheap for N7m. I think it should go for N10m.

I understand your concern about the loud clicking sound in your 2010 Honda Accord V6 engine during cold start-up. It's essential to address this issue promptly to prevent any potential damage.

While waiting for your next service, you can take some immediate steps:

Check your engine oil level: Ensure that the engine oil level is at the recommended level on the dipstick. Low oil levels can sometimes cause unusual engine noises.

Observe any other symptoms: Pay attention to any other symptoms like loss of power, unusual exhaust smoke, or engine performance issues. These can provide additional clues to the problem.

Avoid aggressive driving: Until the issue is resolved, avoid putting unnecessary stress on the engine by driving aggressively.

Schedule an earlier inspection: If the noise persists or you notice any other concerning symptoms, try to schedule an earlier inspection with your mechanic. They can identify the root cause of the noise and take appropriate action.

Research reputable mechanics: Look for reputable mechanics in your area who can diagnose and fix the issue properly.

Since you're in Abesan estate, Ipaja axis, you might want to inquire about nearby auto repair shops or authorized Honda service centers that can help you with the problem.

Remember, addressing engine issues promptly can prevent potential complications and ensure the longevity of your vehicle.

Good evening all

Please I plan on getting a 2008 Accord . I notice that when the key is turned to position 2 (without staring the Engine). All dashboard lights comes on except the check Engine Light.

I believe it’s meant to show when the ignition is turned and disappear when the engine is started.

Is it a serious flag pls?

fineboynl:
do you know what it takes to shit gear and all the time and restarting the car? That is more wear on the car.

Some city driving can take 1 hour or 30 mins for 1 km. We are in Nigeria our in city driving is quite slow and filled with lots of start stops. Ok what if he stays in ikorodu or a place with unbarred roads. So many factors are present. Even fuel quality.

Greetings to you all.

I have been going through this auction export website and I have been seeing some clean and good cars, but I don't really understand how to know the actual price of the car or how to be for the car.

Also I used to see shipping cost, does that covers everything to Nigerian port and how can one retrieve the car when it arrives Nigeria.

Please who can help me out.
