Car TalkRe: My Sojourn Into W201 World (1993 190E I6 Auto Tranny) by krisrock(m): 9:15pm On Sep 24, 2020
GAZZUZZ:
From the results android is favoured over the single din car stereo without display.


That being said since there are opinions about the single preference let's aim for another media unit that is interactive and will still maintain the single din look.

I am thinking of a retractable foldable motorised 7inch inch screen which is smaller, and also android.

Opinions welcome.

Not sure what the longevity on this system will be. The less moving parts the better. I suggest you retain the classic look and get one of those cassette adapters to play music from your phone. Good luck smiley

Had a nightmare with this on my tiny light camry. Tried using slippers that i cut tied with thread and fishing through the whole. But the thread kept cutting cry. Final solution was to push back the tip of the switch and forced in a bolt in the hole. Problem solved. Car has been sold now sha sad. I miss that camry

Mine was a sweet story because the person was on ground. Vehicle was listed 'as does not start', however that was when the car was brought to the auction. It only needed the key be reprogrammed which was done and my contact assured me that he even started the car himself. The 'does not start' label scared people away and he was the only one that bid and also won the bid at a very cheap price grin grin grin. And I have been enjoying the car for over a year now without any issues

Car TalkRe: Dashboard Lay Now Available by krisrock(m): 9:36pm On Sep 12, 2018
kayola11:
yes we going to scrap off the original one and for rx 350 it will cost 35k and it will take close to 5hrs
Posting more pictures showing clearly how the dash was when it was brought in, the dismantling process and the coverage of the dash and re-installing will go a long way to build confidence. This will show the story of each car and also making it sequential is pretty important as well. My dash is still in good condition but if the need arises I will sure give you a call. Good job

Hello Gazzuz. I took my car to the mechanic because of a vibration from the front wheel especially when accelerating around 80km/h. His diagnosis is that the inner CV joint is bad but fixable which he did. My concern is there wasn't real difference from the initial state and would like to know if he's even right about his diagnosis. If he is,is it repairable or I should just replace it. Thanks.
GAZZUZZ:
I cannot give recommendations remotely on cases like this.
This might even be a simple case of doing wheel balancing. But then again I might be wrong

Good day Oga Gazzuz,

Thank you for the good job, which are doing on this forum.
I have this question about flood title car(s). I am about to partake in some auction in the US through a friend. I have this car that caught my fancy, recent model and cool piece of machinery.

The only problem is that it have this flood title to it, and the friend is telling me that its not much of a problem. He even told me that it can be sorted here in Nigeria, that majority of such cars (flood Tittle) are shipped to Nigeria daily.

As a professional, what would be your advice sir? Is it possible that I can be able to put this kind of car back to the road again?

From my observation, these sort of cars are attracting a lot of bid in the auctions. Is there any other things they can use this cars for? maybe spare parts?

Knowing Nairaland for a while, I know some will jump in here to insult my person. The truth is that all is welcome. In all I will love a constructive criticism. And most of all, I would love to hear the opinion of the Chief himself.
Let me borrow some words from Oga Gazzuzz 'That guy is not your friend' grin grin. A word is enough for the wise.

AutosRe: ASK GAZZUZZ by krisrock(m): 7:27am On Feb 22, 2018
GAZZUZZ:
Now we are in the class room.

Let's take it again.

Engine warms up the coolant. Thermostat is designed to open up @ a certain temperature value. Usually 88-96.

So yes Thermostat begins to open up once temp hits those values. Ecu monitors temp rise and and as soon as values get to a predetermined value (newer cars)
fan is triggered(usually 96degrees) and stays on till it falls to about 89degrees.

For the older pre 2000 vehicles, a thermistor connected to the Fan relay does the fan operation. Located on the lower side of the radiator. Now in this case temp is monitored by engine ecu, but engine ecu can only monitor, the fan operation is decided by thermistor.
same principle Thermostat opens up, fills radiator with hot coolant, thermistor sends signal to fan relay, and you have a spinning fan.


Good work demeanor.
thebigkendo:
Thermostat opens first, cooling fan comes on later at temperatures above 95 degrees C( depending on manufacturer)
Thank you my senior colleagues. I have learn small again grin grin grin
AutosRe: ASK GAZZUZZ by krisrock(m): 7:30am On Feb 21, 2018
FreshMekanik:
Boss sorry to burg you. How does removal of thermostat affect fuel consumption? I'm eager to learn. ie the technicality behind that.
Boss Gazzuzz if I may. The job of the thermostat is to block the flow of coolant to the radiator until the engine has warmed up. When the engine is cold, no coolant flows through the engine and the thermostat remains closed and also your fans stay off. Once the engine reaches its operating temperature (about 93-95 degrees C), the thermostat opens to allow the coolant flow through the engine and your fan should also comes on, both working together to cool the engine and make sure it remains within the operating temperature range stated above. Also not that the fan is supposed to just come on, cool the engine and go off when everything is working well(except if AC is on in which case the fans stays on). However, if the thermostat have been removed there is no blockage and the coolant starts flowing immediately you start the car with your fan also coming on. The absence of the thermostat and the fans staying always on will not allow the car get to the optimum working temperature and this will then inform the ecu to keep pumping fuel into the system to help get the car to the optimum temperature which will never happen. Hope this helps.
AutosRe: Support For Other Brands Of Vehicles In Lagos by krisrock(m): 1:39pm On Feb 20, 2018
GAZZUZZ:
For a while, a lot of people using vehicles whose brands I don't presently support, have been asking about the possibility of having a support for their own vehicles too.

While we have not yet extended support to those brands, an ex-trainee of mine is willing to take up such cars. You can give him a call if you fall into the above category and you have car issues.

Car TalkRe: Usautobuy - Another Scammer Resurfaced by krisrock(m): 1:24pm On Dec 05, 2017
TSAT:
Kunle,so,after two years and counting,this is what you are coming up with. what if the fund was a bank loan or a customer funds and the person decided to do his worst to me. your silence all these while,and now that you are being forced out by this thread,this is what you have to say? i really don't know what you want me or anyone to make out from the mails you presented as what happened to my fund nor how it will translate to money in my account or the time value of the fund for the past two years and counting. i remember how many times i tried getting you to tell me what happened to the 9m then. all to no avail. in early 2016 or thereabout,my wife(whom,i told you has the GX470 as her birthday gift) even had to call to talk to you on ways of you making a repayment plan. NOTHING came out of it as you NEVER acted on your word you gave her.

in one of your mails,i asked how much of my funds you had,you said $25k which,was more than enough to make FULL payment for the said 2010 bmw 750LI and make deposit for the GX470. you said you gave your friend a draft of $16,100 for the bmw. what then happened to the balance as you NEVER deposited for the GX470 nor refunded it back to me. Rather,you continued your business as usual. You just confirmed how wicked you are.
I have read this from the beginning till page 15 and I have come to the conclusion that this USautoguy is fraudulent. And why I am saying this is because even if the BMW deal did not go through why did he not refund TSAT's remaining money so that they will only be fighting for the $16k. But oga withheld the remaining money for over 2years and is coming here to tell stories on how he is investigating for $16k. At least from the little maths I know, $16k times #250 will give me #4m which means oga held on to the remaining #5m for 2 full years for reasons best known to him. If this isn't fraudulent behaviour then I don't know what is. Let me continue reading comments
