[s]Bmw parts are relatively cheap .I can confidently say a guy with 10k disposable income per month can maintain an e46

Hear me out .most parts that might give you a nose bleed don't really break down easily .
Let me break it .
A fan unit costs 20k
Water can 15k
Water pump 10k
Kick starter 5k
Roller 2k
Belt 2k

I bet that's cheaper than owning a Corolla[/s]

Liessssss! Go buy E46 coupe LCI then tell me how difficult it will be to get that fender should it get damaged. And I don’t even get me started on the terrible silly failures of BMWs. DISA, VANOS, oil leak masters, overheating grand masters, module failures and electrical shutdown. Then the ultimate test of frustration comes when the fuel pump decides to fail, it’s usually a toyota fuel pump most folks install. Should a BMW stop in the middle of the road, not many mechanics can touch it cos it’s utterly disgusting and and complex. Bmw cheap my foot.
You’d spend more to buy a Japanese car but you’d spend more money to run and maintain a BMW.
Bmw is NOT cheap and advisable to own as a used vehicle or as a lone vehicle. Stop the hogwash!

Plss my muscle Camry just started doing the same thing did you get a solution to your own ??

Scan and post code here

wilsonjay:
The car is a Toyota Camry drop light 2002

Have someone competent check your car and fix it. I can’t advise you better than this cos remote assistance in this case won’t offer much.

Ishilove:
Right! Shows we don't need nudity to pass a message

Happy birthday to you dear

Why una Dey diss and hate Hisense inside this thread?

poshemmanuel:
you help me decide because I have little experience for now when it comes to auto mobile (cars), like I said before one will be use for taxi
and car drop while the other will be use for errands (driving to
village sometimes, driving to other states sometimes, driving
to market to get food stuffs etc), student use and personal
use. Very Very important things to consider for these two cars
are fuel-efficient, cheap and easy to maintain, good on Nigeria
roads and available cheap parts. I am really confused, please
what's your advice? please help me decide on the two cars for that purpose above to buy from abroad

Corolla

poshemmanuel:
please guys Toyota Camry or Toyota Corolla, which will you advise someone to buy from abroad?

Both are good. Ultimately, it’s for you to decide which fits into your bills and expectations more.

wilsonjay:

easycoolll:
Hi,
If you can, just write a mail to thermocool and copy the store you got it from that you will be taking legal actions against them because they are in breech of their acclaimed warranty clause.
Write or contact SERVICOM, SON and Consumer protection board.... Trust me they will attend to you immediately, that was how I got justice when I bought a bad nexus freezer.

I decided to move on after a shoddy repair work by the so called Thermocool service center in Aba. I decided to go for Hisense and it’s serving me well.

Good morning sir Gazzuz & @all

Please I got a toks Honda Civic 09 barely 2months... Being a newbie & since it's a personal ride for just everyday simple runs like to & fro for work, shopping when needs be etc..I planned to be using the recommended engine oil (which I tried to know earlier but didn't get info). So my friend recommended I bought mobil 20w-50. But I just confirmed the recommended oil for the civic is 5w-20. My question now is
1. Will it be wise to flush out the old and put in new 5w (giving the popular opinion that one should ensure to continue using same type of oil you started with to prevent quick damage of your engine)

2. The car has a ridiculously low ground clearance and it hits the ground frequently when I navigate around undulating terrain. Even the bottom left of the front bumper is showing crack already due to the impact of hitting the ground. Please will you recommend I go to lift the car or probably change to bigger tyres/rims?

3. Since day one of buying the car, it shows this spanner sign on the dashboard and doesn't show anything on that milage display area. (Meanwhile know immediately we bought it we change all the necessary oil and transmission fluid). Please is that something I should worry about, what are the implications...also how do I get that fixed

4. I'm in Abuja please...if you recommend I visit a car fixing shop... Please if possible kindly recommend me someone that is good with Honda

Thanks in anticipation of your response

chrisatah94:
Please I use a 2009 Honda Civic. The car is too low and very obvious when it meets undulating roads, it keeps hitting the ground anyhow. I'm in Abuja... please help recommend a good place around to go lift it, alongside an idea of the price? Thanks

A civic is low to the ground as designed from the manufacturer. If you can’t drive it like that, please sell it off and get a CRV or pilot or element or any taller vehicle.

I suggest you go to a competent technician who’d check your car and advise you better.

Please I can't find the auxiliary port in my MDX 2008. I checked the central console armrest. This is what I saw. (Attached picture).

Though there are some ports facing the back seat below the rear ac vents. Not working with the auxiliary.

If your vehicle has the DVD system, you don’t have the aux port. If it doesn’t have the DVD option, then you have the aux port in your center console with a cover that is lifted from the bottom side.

Benin city sir

I dunno anyone there that I can recommend for you.

Samafroxy22:
Are these butterfly valves inside the engine or in the exhaust pipe too?

Butterfly valve is located in the intake manifold at the throttle body, and at the exhaust by the silencer

Ty207:
Hello sir,
Pls! I have a problem with my Elantra 08, it vibrate at 30/40 when accelerating have change 2 shaft within 3weeks same problem so definitely the problem is not shaft cos alignment pple will always tell the problem is from shaft cup,no engine light or code from the car.

Have someone competent enough to check that car. If you’re in abuja, contact 07034581213

Bobbiet:
I scanned my Corolla 03 for transmission issue. It said (shift solenoid. How do I. Rectify this? Gear selects erratically.

Drop valve body, get the exact faulty shift solenoid replaced, reinstall everything back, change trans filter, pour in fresh ATF, test drive. If it works you’re good to go, if not, I’d suggest you replace transmission.
This isn’t a DIY operation.

By the way, where is your car located?

louken:
Your transmission ( a.k.a gearbox) is about to do you strong something

You just open your phone and typed this trash.
Stop exposing your ignorance online biko.


Thank you!

Good evening all
My Honda 2007 D indicator on dashboard is always blinking once the car is on driver
The issue started on Friday after I asked an electrician to check all the fuses in the car to make sure they all pass currents he removed all the fuse and use little naked wire to bridge all the fuse and suck them back.

I went to my mechanic and he said it’s my gear sensor that needs servicing after servicing the sensor and changing of gear oil, I start the car and the blinking stop at some point it started again, it seems the blinking comes on when the car is hot or so

My Gear selects well
Engine is sound

The 2 problems I’m having now is
1) the D blinking
2) once I’m on hold up with AC my car sounds as if it’s not getting enough fuel supply be sounding like it once to off. Like there’s a cut in fuel supply.

I’m in Abuja please what can you suggest because I want to take it to mechanic or electrician
I don’t even know.

Samafroxy22:
There is this fake exhaust leak tapping sound on my glk only when accelerating fast... i have removed the exhaust system to diagnose where the leak was coming from..

during this procedures we fhave found a cracked cone where the exhaust is joined together and sone other parts with leaks. We removed the exhaust manifolds; bank 1 and 2 to check the gaskets and there was no others leaks...

With all these, their is no improvement in the sound. Another guess is a cracked or leaking plugs which i havent done yet.

Please help � me

Cc GAZZUZZ

GLK have active exhaust system. There are butterfly valves which can actuate during the engine running depending on throttle input, it opens and closes to create turbulence and rumbling noise inside. Also, there are valves and cuts inside the exhaust passageway too. If they’re burnt and broken, you may get distorted sounds.

Drazman:
@kingreign
What is your take please.
Someone is telling me that big daddy Camry consumes much fuel. I am finding it hard to believe considering that Lagos roads are filled with this car.

I don’t have a take in this matter sir!

Aaaaarghmed:
it was soft,but it felt too light and wasn't sweet to accelerate and drive.

It’s not a sports sedan. It’s a midsized family sedan with emphasis on comfort.

Wizam:
Pls house, Is there any issue with the 2015 Honda accord sport that's different from the lower models? I have been driving the 2008 model for 2 years now and I enjoyed the ride and since then I have vowed not to go back to Toyota

How is the maintenance?

It’s a good car,maintenance isn’t high, parts are available, if you’re buying a fairly used unit, pls ask about the maintenance history and type of oils used especially in the transmisssion because i4 models has CVT transmission while the V6 uses traditional automatic transmission.

Towncrier007:
Not bad,but I suggest you contact a rewire to use a diagnosis machine to scan the car

Rewire for what??

Aaaaarghmed:
I thank God I started with a honda as a first car,when I later drove someone muscle,it felt so crappy ,poor handling and too light.

Na the person wey no sabi maintain his car. It’s handling should feel soft but tight and decent.

9icetoo:
I think fuel is going into his EVAP or purge valve.

What do you think?

I’m thinking towards that but I need him to scan and post codes so I’d be sure and then he can get recommendations on what to do.

babatee126:
I just see Corolla 2013, 3m, what do you think? It's not as beautiful as Camry 08 Sport to me though.

Is this babatee or club Lexus?

@topic, Corolla isn’t anywhere near Camry in aesthetics or comfort or performance but it’s cheaper. That said, pls do well to verify that the car has all its documents intact and you meet and conclude with the owner before parting with cash.
