MASTAkiLLAh:
I just watched a Scotty Kilmer video talking about this thing and how good they are for cars with older engines and also very good for cars with GDi engines.
What are your experiences ? Let's learn

Nigerian consumer experience is in focus here

They’re not necessarily meant for older engines. They’re meant for cars which have the known defect of excessive oil burn due to defective PCV or breather valve designs. They’re meant to trap oils in the valve top which the PCV loses.

It’s beneficial to not only GDI but MPI engines too especially those with badly designed PCV and headers which can trap excessive air and vapors.

need candid opinion on how to go about fixing gear problem of my car that won’t get engaged either drive or reverse Mexhanic claims fibred burnt in it,that is the reason for the failure I’m thinking of getting a fibre what is your advise it’s a v6 2007 Camry

What can I do? My display ink is fading off

Replace that unit

sultaan:
[s]By normal standard that car has gone past it's useful life. It will cost more to keep it on the road the fuel it and the repair cost is more than it's worth so it's a J.

Some trick I learnt recently is you take it to radauto a minor problem then come to nairaland to complain your car is worse off with the hope of getting more things fixed for less[/s]

I used to respect you a lot back then cos of your vast knowledge in automobiles but lately you seem to speak more of fallacies than truth.

Such a thread. Nothing people no go see for NL.

Your reason? Cause I already ordered for the v4

The v6 are more powerful, more robust, more reliable and more rugged.

The i4 on the other hand is underpowered, has tendencies to burn oil and can develop a stripped head bolt issue. Please, read more about the stripped head bolt issue of 2AZ-FE engines.

I’m talking from experience of owning a highlander with a 4 cylinder for 4 years and also repairing these cars.

Since you have already ordered it, good luck tho

UPDATE
During the Easter break, I decided to go back to pick up the freezer since nothing was done to remedy the situation and there’s no end in sight to how long I’d stay without hearing from HAIER THERMOCOOL. The freezer paint looked faded in some parts.

Just last week, my wife called me to inform me that the freezer stopped cooling. The green power light still comes on, but the freezer doesn’t cool anymore. I’ve never used a generator to power this freezer, whenever it’s low voltage, the freezer is disconnected from the mains and I always use a voltage stabilizer to run this freezer.

Talk about poor quality product!

arthurwillia:
Wow thanks for taking your time to break this down for me, it means a lot and it answered most of my question

It’s Toyota Highlander 2004 4plug Direct tok

Avoid that car. Get a V6 and thank me later!

Hi guys, pls I stay in delta state, I have a MB 2013 c250, lately my car sos, blind spot monitoring, cruise control all have been saying inoperative,. I have been to various mechs here and non seems to be able to diagnose the issue. Pls any tips here on what could possibly be wrong?

A scan should tell you what’s wrong. Were you involved in a crash or did water ingress occurred in any SAM or Control module?

Is 15k too much to replace top gasket in 2007 RAV4?

It’s rather too small to replace a top gasket.

Stupid comment from a fool who thinks he is intelligent.

Tell that to your śtupîd wayward parents who raised an unfortunate imbèçilè like you.

Spit on you!

trashy talk from a trashy individual

BadNews:
A Nigerian lady, Ndiana Utuk, took to Facebook on Sunday, May 8, to mourn her sister, Nsisong Utuk, who died in a fatal motor Accident.

It was gathered that the accident involving an Aba-Uyo bound bus occurred late last month and claimed many lives.

"You only went on a normal business trip as usual and that was the end, hmmm. Is this how people go out without returning back...hmmm?"

"The story is becoming true by the day...what a world. Always in deep thought, how and why you disappeared like that." Ndiana wrote.

Please house, I plan to travel to Calabar through Warri Portharcourt, Uyo route, is this 0k?

Is the road drivable?

And I am aerophobic.

I did that several time in the past, I won’t advise you to try this now a days with the terrible roads and the high level of insecurity abs killings going on around in the South Eastern Nigerian region.

The vawulense is rising quickly o! Ovoko

Like what boss ?

Don’t worry. The report is meant for the owner only and I am not permitted by professional conduct to divulge such info.

9icetoo:
Accelerate gently.
Harsh acceleration, speeds above 100km/hr and hard braking is the enemy of good mpg.
Try to keep your revs below 2200 rpm and you will see a change in your mpg.

I’ve checked his car. A few needs to be done.

buygala:
Calm down

Hondas and opels are the most popular vehicles up North


There is a reason why even Politicians that have money to throw away have mostly abandoned Peugeot vehicles..

Those cars take things too personally.. Small headlight fix or door switch fix, BSI go begin display ogbanje... Wetin no suppose be problem normal normal for other vehicles, e go reach Peugeot own e go become full scale warfare

Vawulense has gone to pro max

01Tunex:
Abuja

City driving but mixed most times as I’m on the highway till I reach central areas.

Best I ever got was when I did my last oil change, then I travelled next day. I got about 17MPG.

You need a tune up. Reach out to me on 07034581213 if it’s okay by you.

01Tunex:
Good day!

I’m driving a 2007 Lexus RX 350.

I currently average 13-13.5 MPG on my tests.

I have 2 codes on my OBD test
P0420
P0430

Other than that, ride is ok.

I use the correct rated oil 5W-30 and change oil every 5k miles.
I’ve also cleaned my MAF and intake valves.

What else can I do to improve my MPG please?

I don’t expect the present codes should affect the MPG that badly☹️

Location matters, you can’t be in Lagos expect good mpg. Where are you?
