Simple and short get a replacement gearbox if you don't want funds wasted

Your clock spring has been messed up with. The spiral cable has been overstretched more than its maximum turns. Have it replaced and you should be fine

Bosch brake pad packages comes with synthetic brake components lubricant and caliper abutment clips. Does your in-house brand come with same?

Those brake pads never disappoint me. Currently have one installed on my car. No squeaky noise even after running through a pool of water. I stock them specially

What car is this, worn out suspension parts. As well check for bad tyres

I advice you do not jump into conclusions. This is naija. Understand the field experience here and draw out your conclusions. There are just too many to deal with here. Welcome to Naija . You have only one experience with a car on the Naija soil. Wait till you meet others then you can confidently rewrite your conclusions

If you've never heard of Carquest, google them. They have expanded to Nigeria. They sell original parts that all come with warranties of anywhere from 3 months to 1 year. They also sell all the CORRECT oils for each vehicle. They are located in Lekki right after the second toll gate. There is also a repair shop for an American franchise called Milex and Mr. Transmission. Again, google if you don't know who they are. If you lived in the colder states in the US, you've probably heard of them. They warranty their work with the same warranties Carquest offers. If you are tired of street mechanics F'ing up your car or dealers charging exhorbitant prices for work they didn't do, you should probably check them out.

They will be opening a total of 10 stores across Nigeria and warranties will be good at any of the stores. They will provide for ALL car brands not just american cars. Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, Mercedes, BMW, etc.

DISCLAIMER: I am on the board of directors for these stores and this is a passion project for me because the state of auto repair in this country is ridiculous. Having returned home, we are merely trying to bring the minimum level of service we are used to from the USA to Nigeria. I hope this post doesn't violate Nairaland rules.

Make I join una this morning. In all these complaints about the V6, what oil are these owners using? I used to fix Honda cars in Abuja and even though we were using TOTAL Q9000 on them then, there was really no issue with that car. When you guys say, engine is expensive, how much were you expecting it to be sold? Gazzuzz, if you can say that about the evil spirit, then we get problem o because by now, you should have found a solution to these problems. Those complaints from the US are from those that use the dealership. We all know how Honda used to tell us that they dont have the software for US spec cars until guys like you folks started giving them a run for their lies and you will now see Honda Place fixing Acura. In America, they dont have guys like luvinhubby, gazzuzz etc that have excelled against all odds and yet this dem say talk is upsetting.
Let me go jog as una don provoke me this morning

You don dey fat too much wey you no fit enter enter under motor again

AutoElectNG:
Can this not be detected on time before it becomes an issue leading to expensive repairs

Not everyone knows this. Recently worked on one car still runs very fine. Cat has started detoirating alreadywhen you look closely it took an irregular shape inside

GAZZUZZ:
sadly I have no idea

You must know this one and admit this one to your theatre and fix accordingly.do not eschew this one

Take this car back to the US and let it come back to Naija with the snow pieces . Lovely ride

luvinhubby:
The only low point i know is the expensive nature of the engine coupled with the fact that it does not tolerate blocked catalysts.

This is a frequent problem on it and can lead to complete engine destruction
