The MDX is better. You'll lose a lot of features going to the Mercedes plus you'll spend more on maintenance and repair. Nobody @me please. The arguments you guys get into over cars I no get energy.

Very true.

Hello brilliants, my car Camry 2011 occasionally becomes sluggish when I engage the gear. Happened twice in the last 3 days. One at R and one at D. I had to rev higher than normal before it will just move. After shifting back at P and reengaging, it worked fine.
What should I be worry about.

Run a scan pls. Engine and transmission scan. Also a physical inspection should be carried out on the car by a competent technician.

i no understand...the tree jump ontop the car ni? even if the tree do full speed and jump on the car no be super glue Dem take hold the parts together now abi ki lo seh le

Old trees with their roots that are sunk deep down into the ground will damage anything that speeds and crashes into them.

sisisioge:
Chineke! Is the tree made of heavy metal ni? How us the driver?

Never underestimate old trees, they'll damage anything that comes speeding towards them.

Lovely car.

double3:
First step is to scan ur ECU for error code. Why do people still wash there engine BTW....
Cleaning with rag and solvent it the way to go, resist the urge to steam wash ur engine.

I steam wash the engines of all cars I've owned. Heck, I even pour a full bucket of water on the engine and there's no issue with it. I can't drive cars with very dirty engines. I'd be restless.

sooperrescue:
Hmmmm, I am very happy. Now you can get the feeling when a range rover is back on the road.. We are going to team up so that you handle that tuff for me

I'd be glad to team up with you chief, same with lejeun3

Nurey Gazzuzz kingreign una input is needed here. edakun

Run a scan, post codes. We shall tell you what's happening.

By the way, how much fuel and what distance so you cover?

udemzyudex:
Interesting, but still it's advisable you get a scan tool for your car, isn't it?

If you know what you're doing, why not?

Available

udemzyudex:
Lol.. It has been said here times without numbers, always get a scan tool.

Again always pay attention to details, your car have been giving you that noise but you ignore it.

As for the repair industry in Naija, we still have a long way to go, the annoying thing is these guys just don't want to upgrade, i mean how can you just decide to remain exactly where you are for years forgetting that technology evolves.

Imagine using 1999 knowledge to fix a 2019 problem.
For DIY, I follow scotty kilmer, the man is a funny man and also chrisfix among others.

May I inform you that a scan tool won't scan a broken pulley or snapped belt?

A scan tool in the hand of someone that's not knowledgeable about what's happening and how to take note of certain discrete data from the car would be useless.

Some cheap cloned scan tools also have been discovered to give wrong codes.

This beautiful 2011 MY RR 5.0 s/c V8 autobiography came in with overheating and a bad AC system. Fault was diagnosed and found to be broken coolant bleed valves, junction pipes and a blocked radiator.
AC compressor had the black poison and this damaged the compressor.

The broken coolant bleed valves were replaced (4 bleed points), junction pipes replaced and like wise the radiator, coolant added and bled properly.
The AC compressor was replaced, condenser and dryer was replaced, installed and vacuumed then system oiled and charged with appropriate refrigerant.

Location??

Camry and corolla left the chatroom...

Camry had been kicked out of the chat...

Keep quiet and stop yelling! I bear no grudges against no one. If you do, that's you keep it to your self.

Thanks!

Karma

I recall that this is one of the guys that dismissed codyella's complaints with scorn and derision, and here he is with the same complaints and has found himself in the exact aame condition as codyella did months ago

Instead of lamenting on this thread, why don't you get the OP to replace the damaged items just as you claimed he would, when Codyella and the other client had similar problems with their cars

Karma is real, indeed.

Very real. As much as I empathize with him, I am also glad it happened to him so he'll taste exactly what other complainants he hushed tasted.

Las Las we go dey alright.

Dear Maxwell Asowata,

Ordinarily i wouldn't have thought to make this public if only you had shown a little degree of after service concern. I had to wait a week to make this review in order to distill my emotions out of this whole ordeal. Your lack of concern is damming and for a client that never at any point haggle price with you, it leaves a bad taste.

This review expresses perhaps one of the worst case scenario that could play out, if, during handling (loading, offloading, shipping or transport) of a car, it gets damaged. If the fix is somewhat expensive( as it is unforseen), a patched up job will most likely be done just to get it delivered to the owner. Your panel beaters are abysmal (from my experience) or maybe their performance is as a consequence that doing a standard job ll exceed a certain finacial threshold for you. Then a unilateral decision is made to cut corners without seeking the opine of the customer who may or may not be willing to reach a compromise just to get a tidy job done. In my case, I complained and you where quick to label my 3 months wait as a LOSS for you. After that, you go offline, read and ignore.

This is to let you know that i spent well over 70k overhauling the whole exhaust system of the 2007 HONDA Accord i recently took possession from your team on the 11th of August 2020 with the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. From buying a new taiwan catalyst, upper and downstream oxygen sensor, upper net, lower catalyst (female side) mount  etc. And to prevent a scenario where blames are apportioned to my mechanics, i did consider radoautoworks but i eventually settled for the team recommended by mr rowland aka luvinhubby (a nairaland cartalk honda guru) due to promixity and pricing.

I shortpaid you by 10k and your reactions when i informed you of the possibility that a substantial amount will/may be further expended were: 1. " Your transaction was at a loss to me and i took your balance like that to close your chapter"  2. " i aint splitting any extra cost on repairs with you afterall i have paid for a sensor, what are you talking about? ". Listen boss, i have now overpaid you by over 70k and this transaction will be a profit to me, no regrets here and i choose to focus on the positives.

I hereby grant you express permission to use and publish our communications in your defence as i have already attached evidences of the work i did plus a reliable alibi in the person of mr luvinhubby. You cant be big and operate small; Lanre ll go to the port, lanre ll take possession, Lanre ll do interstate delivery. Then, who, if i may ask, checkmates the mechanic, panel beaters and painters? Too much trust in these people brings about complacency. My advise to you is to apply the same standard used in canada here in Nigeria and to consider doing some sort of insurance on your operations

To prospective clients, we all can't be lucky, we all can't be unlucky, things like these happen but concern, empathy and communication is key, so allow room for renegotiation if things go south. Maxwell will tell you the truth most of the time, your funds are safe and generally, his Canadian end of operation is near perfect. However, the Nigerian end is somewhat overhelmed and spread too thin without a proper framework, hence, end product quality assurance cannot be guaranteed. I advise you consider roro shipping to prevent avoidable damages and set funds aside for eventualities. Peace y'all. Client 101351

How does it feel having a taste of your own poison?

Remember what I said in June and you ranted and shouted and made all sort of needless comments?
It's playing out again, this time, you're the victim.
As much as I empathize with you on this issue, I feel it should be a lesson you and everyone out there should learn from.
