That's it, you're done. Once you start the car up again, the ECU should be aware of the changes to the motor. Have fun!

Hello,

I really need to know the recommended engine oil for Nissan Infinity FX 35. 2004 model.

I'm based in Lagos also need to know where i can buy it.

Experts in the house kindly assist.

Any reputable 5W30 synthetic oil will do.

WebMania:
Lol. Not as simple as that bro.
Took the car to Autologic as advised by honmusa, and I must say I was quite impressed with the scientific approach to auto diagnostics. The problem was pinpointed with accuracy. Most people will just do trial and error, and throw parts at it.

It turned out that the catalytic converter had been removed. Also, the actron scanner I personally used to read the fuel trim data earlier was also inaccurate. This was discovered with an OEM scanner at Autologic.

So, to fix issue, Vtec switch was replaced along with a used catalytic converter from Ladipo (I must say those Ladipo dealers are something else. Make sure they test stuff and fix in ur presence before paying, if u can. Or better still buy new if u can afford it).

The car's performance has noticeably improved. But I will observe mpg gains when next the tank is filled.

Kudos to honmusa. He's a great man.

Mr, when you have a P0420 code which is what you posted, it clearly shows Cat below efficiency bank 1, what do you do? Run a Live scan, after which you delve into physical inspection of the cats which entails checking for Cat presence, absence or broken particles. Then replace with a good cat.

Did you replace cat or not?
Yes, what code were you trying to solve?
P0420.

V-tec codes are different from that of cat codes.

Take this arguement anywhere

Modified: it is an abused hybrid

Owner wanna drop this cow off his neck

LAGATA:
Am in Abuja. Yes it's a V6 cylinder

Mike is your best bet then.

Make I book space for oga bravolad thread

godwinasky:
Please who has any (idea or where I can obtain a )good Nigerian-used corolla!

And what could be the fairest price range?

Thank you as you reply.

I think Toyota corolla has over 7 generational models. Which specific model(s) are you in the look out for?

LAGATA:
Good evening family,
I drive a 2012 Camry XLE. Just recently it develops this hard start once car have moved around (Hot). Please what could be the issue as am just confused.
Thanks as I await ur professional responses

CTS sensor (around cooling lines), Fuel pressure regulator (in fuel pump assy).

Run a scan and identify the challenge.
By the way, is your car a V6 or a 4 cylinder?
Contact Gazzuzz if you're in Lagos 08023251039 or Mike if you're in Abuja 07034581213 for diagnosis and rectification of the challenge.

Cheers!

nurey:
just make sure its not a 4 plug hybrid engine to avoid stories that touch. A Nigerian used clean one goes for around 1.5m depending on year, trim and gizmo so do your due deligence, price engine, remove the money, check transmission, make sure its top notch. If you "Nogere pereh" we will be awaiting your help needed thread. Peace

We'd just tell him, 'Just negudu there'!

TheRealGEJ:
Fellow nairalander I need your help on this decision. I've been using a 2006 Toyota Corolla since last year, no single issue as the car is a good an reliable car but very boring, and too light. So I just sold off last week to get a Camry 2.4. But just yesterday a friend introduced me to a dealer who has a Nigerian used Camry 2007 for sale at a price of 750 with an engine issue. I tested the car but the engine is weak and he adviced I'll have to change the change. I told him I'll get back to him tomorrow. The car has been resprayed but has a neat interior. From where it has been parked, you can see that it's been there like that for 2 or 3 months. The interior is okay and neat. My question is one, is the price a good bargain? And secondly after changing the engine, is there anything to be weary about ?
Engineers in the house please I need your help

Oga GAZZUZZ, Ikenna351, Siena

Don't be greedy, go buy your 2.4 Camry big daddy.

kaeforum:
convert to manual.

You wont get a clean auto trans in Nigeria.

OP, DON'T follow this advice pls.
Run a scan and we take it up from there.
It could be a simple pressure sensor malfunction or any other simple issue.

FEGEITOK:
Business has demanded that I go to Ilorin next week.

I feel it is a sin to have a car and use public transportation.

Certainly those whose loved ones have cars and who have perished in public transportation will agree.

I place a great premium on life and so do not take unnecessary risks and my vehicle is very well maintained.

Google suggests two routes - Via Niger State and Via Kogi State.

Is there another route? You know, You cannot find the route taken by commercial vehicles from Lagos to Abuja via Google!

The other issue is what is the state of that road?

Is it safe to drive?

What should I be worried of?

What should I plan for?

What should I look out for?

Thanks

Follow Kogi route. don't follow Minna Jebba route, Na evil route with heavy crater infested road be that.

Osama10:
Good evening my gurus in the house.

What could be responsible for my fx reverse gear dragging when its engaged.?

Scanned it with no codes coming up except the only code that has been there for 7months.(Its a cruise control stuff)

The D works perfectly, but the R is dragging.I need to rev up to 2000 rpm before it reverses.

I hope its not what am thinking though?

Check your brakes for binding. It could cause such. If your differential isn't having hyoid oil in it it could also cause similar issue accompanied with noise.

If you're in Abuja contact Mike 07034581213
Lagos contact Gazzuzz 08023251039
For inspection, diagnosis and fixing the issues.

showreals:
not run any diagnostics yet

You need a scan to diagnose the issue then a fix for the same issue.
If you're in Lagos, Contact Gazzuzz 08023251039,
If you're in Abuja, Contact Mike on 07034581213.

They can run scan and fix the tranny if its fixable, if its not, they can give you a good recommendation.

Macmilla:
My ppl, I just saw this angry-looking discussion continues somewhere and apart from that mean all-black colour and unique headlights, this beast has 4 exhaust outlets. I know Honda v6 normally has double exhaust, but this guy has 4.
Could this be a DC v8? Is that possible? Or just some serious love-vendor-my-ride shit?
Learned men in d house, over to you.

Cc: Gazzuzz

Sorry I couldn't take more pictures, make one military man no commot from one corner and arrange my face with better slap for taking pictures of his car.

Disgusting. He rate at which people abuse a matte black. He for kuku spray the whole mirrors, windows rear and front windscreen too.

showreals:
Please how much is this transmission 2007, v6. Thanks

Car still working fine. I just have this feeling about the way the gear shifts back down from higher speeds.

Did you run a scan on the vehicle transmission and have you replaced ATF before in this vehicle, if yes, what type of ATF?

auhanson:
Did you read the bolded before you comment? Now, tell me what is wrong that you have corrected here?

I meant to say Camry XV40 isn't the vest built Camry.

jimmrozz:
Good day house, Pls I need assistance. I change my evaporator on Lexus RX 350 but I notice each time I increase the temperature to 79 or 80 degree, the direction of the aircondition will change automatically to down instead of direct opposite me.

Run a scan via techstream

ogbevireo:
Chief, I think you maybe using a wrong oil for this car. Mobil XHP is 20w-50. The oil cap and owners manual on this car states that you use 5w-30. 5w-30 is not readily available. So I think the next closest should be Mobil 1 0w-40, Total quartz 9000 or Shell helix 5w-40..

Its quite late to revert back to recommended or near recommended oil due to sludge which has built up and clogged some parts. If synthetic fluid is now used, they will wash off the sludge (synthetic oil have active detergents to wash engine inerds) and this could create lots of problem from leaky seals to smoking, intolerance and ultimately necessitate an engine replacement.

akanniade10:
Its larger calibrations are in Km. Guess the Odo reading is in Km. Observe well bros

Na Canadian specs be ya car. Na km calibrated odo

Oya let the lies begin.

Toyota 4Runner 2005 V6 4.0 litter engine with about 188,000km. Over 4yrs and yet to see a mechanic. I use regular Mobil XHP for servicing every 3 months. It was abt 145000 when I bought it. Never run from a vehicle because of just high mileage.

Wrong oil alert, wrong OCI alert.

Icon4s:
Pls are u sure that ur odometer reading is 292,000km and nt miles?

Na miles, from the Speed dial its larger calibrations are in miles so the odometer is also calibrated in miles

Dear auto gurus of nairaland, I need urgent possible explanation and solution to a transmission problem with my 2005 rx330.
I took the car to an auto mechanic to replace the drive shaft( the inner cup and bearing to be precise), driver side shaft oil seal and also to replace all the brake pads, shocks, ball joint, linkages, camber, engine seatings etc. Car drove well after all the repair but suddenly developed fault after about 3 miles distance drive.
the gear will disengage at will and wont accelerate even when it manages to engage. so I had to manage and take the car back to the auto workshop where it was diagnosed and a P0746 code(- Pressure Control Solenoid A Performance or Stuck Off) was discovered as the reason the car had the problem.

my question now I;
1- what could possible cause this sudden problem to the gear box?
2- could it be that the shaft replacement could trigger a damage to the gear box( - Pressure Control Solenoid A Performance or Stuck Off)?
3- what ways can this issue be resolved?

am not happy about this cos a lot have been spent already. pls, I need your advice.

CV joint change in a hot transmission?
Hmmmm. Eleyi gidi gaaaan!

xager:
LR is Long range, ER is extended range. I think the long range can travel a farther distance than the ER.

. Extended range can travel further than long range.

Hello angels, Peugeot cars have one of the best suspensions and they are stable, my attraction to it, 407 not exempted. They may have their own pros and cons jut like any other car. There is no car without issues even the so admired Toyota(if you were to elaborate the issues with "spider" alone, you could run, but then its the best Camry ever build(i'm talking about sophistication, complete turn around). What i'm usually concern about in cars is handling, performance and leisure rides, including prestige. i can trade anything for these things .

I keep 3 lovely Merc cars at top shape(100%), which i fix almost everything myself,fuel pumps/filters,alignment and balancing, including changing of brakepads(everything about brakes), water pumps,steering pumps and racks, ac units,diagnoses all my electricals and fix them all by myself etc and have no pains as in cost of maintenance as parts are cheap and available everywhere. Like today i have just finish changing my thyroid/centre thyroid and shocks,and also do my alignment in one of my Merc, being a public holiday. Does that makes me a mechanic? Of course not(but saves me so much money. I do not only fix cars but my generator sets and laptops and every appliances at my disposal but not for the public, even though i'm a programmer by profession.

Bottom line, Peugeot 407 is a sweet car, very stable and handles just fine(better than some Jap mobiles), especially the coupe type, so alluring. Her issues are not overwhelming like you put it, and anybody with some interest and common sense can handle them just fine and cheap.

Wrong, spyder Toyota aka Muscle (XV40) is the most Toyota Camry ever built. They were only seeking to appease global market due to their popular demand, they paid less attention to quality and the result is/was clear for all to see.

Ppls let's not derail this sweet thread, chief cne010, kwantinu ya Mercedes Benz mods. We luvin it!

[color=Blue]Audi S-Line models are no more powerful than Audi models with stock trim.[/color]

Wait, how can you say an A4 is as powerful as an S4 Audi?

Kai. What are people paying the extra £ $ € for?
For a badge or what?

GAZZUZZ:
mention the insurance company, make some more noise, hope you get to front page, insurance company will replace ya motor to save face.

You can also take the case to naicom if they do not respond.

Car can be fixed, they bring in cars worse than this as toks and repair them, not in your best interest to fix it though.

True boss, you're right.
Op make plenty noise, mention the insurance company name.
