Hahaha..bad Belle..una don start..This is direct Belgium GLE350 I got from Texas..Go check the price with the exchange rate..Sold off my ML

I'm not giving a bad Belle, I'm being very factual here. No need for the lies, mischief and half-truths. This front bumper and rear bumper with quad exhaust clearly shows its a Dubai upgrade. I've done quite a number of them. If you want to be hones and truthful, snap the centre console and COMMAND rotary dial if it has the hepatic TouchPad.

Lovely ML350 upgraded to GLE350.

I'm selling the two of them for that price (Negotiable). Just curious how much is a fair price?

The onus lies on you to find out the prices of used items for what you're selling. I only spotted the issue hence my calling you out.

Nb. Last year I purchased similar item for fish farming but incurred a huge loss and so I backed out.

Maybe I should tell him to couple it back. If he put gas now within 1 hour d gas go comot finish

I've given my own advise, if it's beneficial to you, feel free to follow it, if it's not, feel free to let it go.

abiolag:
Thanks
I think he didn’t do a thorough check initially to ascertain where d issue was coming from. He only use d sound from d compressor to chop money because what he changed was just a small rubber which he claimed was d seal. Na d fear of not tampering with other things if d dashboard is loose dey worry me

All the same, visit another ac technician that's competent.

Hi engineers
My Camry 2.4 2004 Ac was not cooling last month and when ir was checked, we discovered there’s no gas in it. We decided to check where the leakage was coming from and after filling little gas, a leak sound was coming out from d compressor body. It was fixed that day which was on 7th of January. I didn’t drive d car since that day because I took it for general body repair (panel and painting)
I collected the car back on Sunday and find out the Ac is blowing heat again. I returned it on Monday and I was told that the gas has escaped because of not using the car for close to a month ( I had my doubt but) so we decided to just fill gas again and it was cooling at that moment but after driving for few minutes it stopped cooling again. It will cool few seconds and not cool again
I returned it again yesterday and d Ac guy start checking all over again. He told me that the leakage is from the evaporator which he will need to loose the dashboard to get to where the evaporator is.
Pls gurus in the house, pls what are my chances with this Ac guy and his decision to loose my dashboard.
I need the Ac for the hustle I’m using the car for.
Pls what should I do?

Instead of patching compressor and evaporator, why not change AC technician, visit a competent technician, let him go thru the whole process again, replace defective parts and call it a day?

See the beautiful short overhangs on the front wheels being deleted in favour of that hideous front end with very terribly long overhangs that will compromise its driving dynamics.

Thank you bros. My Kazim(mechanic) said they tested it but Is there a voltage requirement for this 02 sensors against next purchase?

Check the rear quarter glass on your car, is the sticker stating LEV or PZEV?

dare01:
Thank you

Follow that advice at your loss.

MrReeseG:
Good evening

So I've been having an issue with stiff steering while decelerating and some squeaky sounds when I turn either ways. I went to Oyingbo to get it checked and was told PS pump was faulty and the hose leaking.
I've changed PS pump (bought a new one) and the issue still stands.
Today i went again and this time I changed steering rack, bushings and stabilizer linkage all according to the mechs. Issue is still there. Infact, it's worse off.
I'm livid!!!

Car is a Toyota Camry 06. Who can help?

Is your p/s pressure hose in good condition or clogged?
Is the steering rack (a used item subject to wear and tear) in good condition?
Is the steering fluid reservoir clean and not clogged with sediments or blocked by an object?

Hello everyone, I drive a Toyota corolla 2005 which starts having a problem since a month now. While driving the car, it just jerks once and engine will shutdown. It does that randomly and frequently, it jerks once (as if you're trying to do push and start in a manual car) and then engine shutdown. I have tried 3 different mechanics with no success. What we have done so far:

Change fuel pump
Changed spark plugs
Changed all 4 fuel injectors
Changed brain box and reprogrammed the car (tried upto 3 different brain box)
Changed oil and oil filter
Changed ignition coil
Changed oxygen sensor

All of the above mentioned, we have done with no success. The car still jerks once and then stop.

I spoke to a friend that does Uber and uses the same type of my car, he said he had the same problem with his car once, and he tried everything without success. He said a guy from Toyota company was introduced to him and the guy came, charged 50k, took the car somewhere and came back after 20mins and the problem disappeared. And ever since then, he never experienced the problem. He didn't know what the guy did inside the car.

But unfortunately, this guy that helped him is no longer in the country. So, looks like a dead end.

Anyone with idea should please help me out. I'm tired.

Your location?

Good morning.
I have Toyota corolla S, 2005. Automatic Transmission, based in ABUJA. I noticed the driver side brake disk is usually very hot, compare to the passenger side. (by pouring water, the driver side brake disk will sound as if u are frying plantain ) . my first mechanic told me the caliper is faulty. Hence i bought a BELGIUM Caliper, that didn't solve the issue. He now said, lets change master break. That it could be faulty. I bought New master brake, it didn't solve the issue. I also bought quality brake pad, still it didn't solve the issue(HE WAS DOING TRIAL AND ERROR -making me to spend money unnecessarily). So, i decided to visit another mechanic and via personal research online i discovered that bad rotors can make disk to be hot. i changed that specific side of the rotor, still it gets hot compare to the passenger side which is barely hot(Though the squeaking, squealing, and grinding sound stopped). what do you think could be the problem for the hotness. pls NOTE The following things that i replaced: 1. Caliper, 2. Brake pad, 3. Master Break, 4. Rotor.

I cant think or guess the answer because I believe in actual diagnosis rather than guess work sir

Tollyton:
Good day everyone,


My Rav4 2gr V6 2008 model had a gear issue in the year 2021, took to a mecho and he adviced I changed to 10pin that fixing a 13pin is not reliable which he did without it's brain box .

It worked but always make sound at reverse ,a year after i took it back to the gear mecho when the car develop another gear slack. I paid again for another repair and back on the road.

Sadly again, December last year 2023,the gear didn't enter reverse again and will make noise . I took it to another gear mech not the previous one due to his no whereabout and the new idiot couldn't fix it . He changed everything in the brainbox and lo the gear didn't enter drive nor reverse anymore .

He ran and left the car like that since then . Now, I want to change the gear instead and the gear seller is saying I shouldn't buy 13pin again but 10pin again with brain box now.

I need help and advice from the car gurus here , please help a sister out as I am tired and don't want to waste my hard saved money not in this bad economy. 13pin or 10pin with brainbox and with reasons.

Also, give me price range for both .Thanks

Better buy the direct gearbox meant for that car and stop throwing money into white elephant projects.

[s]How is he derailing?

Abeg let him share his experience,,,,, Atleast all what he said up there is all about Auto[/s].

This is MY thread, and i dictates the rules here.
If he wants to complain about a service rendered or someone whom he patronized, he should open a fresh thread for that purpose.

Besides, I did NOT recommend him anybody that would warrant him to try to derail this thread.

Ivan18888888888:
I really had the craziest experience with this mechanic named Tayo the other day. So here what happened ; I call this dude up to help fix my back shock absorber because he had already worked on my front shocks a few weeks ago.,
meanwhile, prior to when I fixed my front shock he already told me the back shocks would cost 60 thousand naira , so on calling him that faithful day , we talk for a little while and I agreed on sending him the 60k right away, so he can go on to do my job really fast .
so after like 30 mins later after sending him the money, this dude called me saying the shocks were no longer 60k rather it was 95k, he was like “ oga dollar done go up” well the dollar has made the price skyrocket. he said even the front shocks we bought for 100k is now over 160k
I was like, "What the hell?" But eventually, I agreed to send him 35k. So after I send him all the money ,I also told him I'd be at his workshop in 30 minutes to an hour time, so he could start working on taking out my shocks.

So fast forward to after I got to Tayo's workshop. I arrived around exactly 9:30 am in the morning and had to wait for about an hour before they started working on removing the shocks. while they were loosening the shocks, Tayo tells me that he never order the shock in the first place! He wanted to check my bushing to see if it was alright before ordering everything together. I was like, "Okay, fine." So, after about 2 hours, they finally took out the shock and bushing. guess what ? just like I Expected, Tayo tells me that my bushing is bad and it'll cost me an extra 25k to replace it. I agreed to send him the money to order both the shock and the bushing .


So, about an hour later, I asked Tayo if he had managed to order the parts. He said yes !! but they were looking for a bike to transport them. Apparently, the bike they had in mind was busy delivering some other goods at Mile 2 . After a while, I went back to Tayo for an update, but he was just beating around the bush. Finally, he said they found a bike, but it was charging a certain amount. He offered to cover that cost, as he usually helps his customers out. You know what funny? Even if he had asked me to pay, I would've been fine with it. I have no problem with that. So, after another two hours again, I met up with him again, and guess what he said this time ? The bike never call me Oga! I was like, "Dude, you just told me you found a bike. How come it never called you?" I was so confused and felt really bad. At that point, I decided to let him do whatever he chooses to do.

Now here is where things got really bad and took a turn for the worse. After waiting for another extra 2-3 hours again, I noticed the mechanic holding two of my shocks. He was removing some parts and instructed one of his boys to put a battery into his car, giving the impression that he was about to take the shocks elsewhere. This whole time, I was sitting in his workshop, feeling aggravated and at the same time concerned about where he could possibly be going with my loosened shocks. As I sat in his workshop , for more and more minutes , various thoughts raced through my big head. I found myself wondering where he could possibly be going with the loosened shocks. I hoped that he wouldn't take them somewhere-else to spray them. While at the same time, a part of me urged me to wait and see what would happen, and another part of me believed that it would be better to approach him proactively. After all, prevention is always better than having to deal with a problem later. Determined, I made up my mind, telling myself, "Alright, I'm going to meet with him and confront this idiot to clear things up."



I approached him and asked, "Hey, Na where you dey go? Where are you taking my shock to ?" He admitted that he intended to take both shocks “not just one oooooo, but two of them” in order to use them as prototypes and find a nearby place where he could purchase them. . This confused me even further, because he had previously stated that good spare parts for Mercedes couldn't be found in this area. I questioned him, saying, "But wait, nor be you talk say person dey come from the trade fair? So Why then are you changing plans even without informing me? It's important to be transparent , Remember ?

I kept expressing my frustration, saying, "So you changed your plans without informing me ? , even though I'm right here with you?" He responded with this aggressive words, going on about how it wasn't my concern and that he would do the job whether I was present or not, regardless of whether he communicated with me. I couldn't even believe what I was hearing. I reminded him, "This is my car we're talking about right ?, and to matter worst I'm sitting right next to you, not like I am absent or something." His reply shocked me even further as he stated, "It's none of your business Oga." At that moment, it occurred to me that he might be under the influence of drugs or Maybe dis guy hide enta one beer-pallor go drink ogorogo.

To be continued……….. tired of typing abeg

Hello, guys. Please my 2002 RAV4 revvs at about 4000rpms at about 100km/h or 60mph. I did some research and I learnt it should be around 2500rpm at 100km/h. Even to a novice like me I can tell it shouldn't be revving that high at that speed because it makes a noticeable sound.
What could be the issue please?

Faulty ECM that affectd the transmission or knock sensor is my bet here.
But scan and share codes let's assist in solving this.

I got a lexus 04 ES330 Tokunbo for my mom last year September. When it arrived in Lagos, it was scanned by my mechanic and necessary repairs were done. About a month later, I installed a car tracker in the car.

Here is the problem: To get the car started each morning, you have to crank it twice, After the first crank, you have to wait for about 3-5minute then crank it again. This is the only issue she is having with the car. Every other thing works fine.

I have attached a screenshot of the scan result.

No vex I missed your complaint, pls follow @chukel advise.
