Good day house,
pls is it advisable to remove thermostat from a car.
Had issue with my radiator today, leaking and the next thing my mechanic said they normally remove thermostat for the fan to start work immediately. Is that so?

And what am reading online concerning removing thermostat is not advisable ooooo.

It’s an Avensis.

All the systems just started shutting down one by one

Brakes
Speedometer
Power steering

I now parked and see smoke billowing from the engine bay.

The shhh just kept burning, even after using about half a fire extinguisher can on it, until we got the bright idea to disconnect the battery.

As soon as the battery was reconnected, it started burning again, which means the abs module is always powered whether the car is on or off as long as the battery is connected,

I have read a couple articles online that detail cars being burnt down at car parks cause the abs just started burning, and no one was around to notice or stop it.

It’s quite a scary situation, honestly. Now I don’t even want to park anymore with my battery head still connected, but that would mean the computer would have to relearn idle rpms and stuff, but I’ll take that over a burnt vehicle.

Below is a pic of the burnt abs module. You can see that it’s the computer that is burnt. Not sure how the computer is isolated from the pump, but maybe brake fluid leaked into the computer and caused it to short out, just a theory.

Bro what he's saying is truth, most of those Guys aren't active drivers but just want to take advantage of the union thing, just watch out very soon we will have stickers monthly or yearly dues and stuffs like that if such thing happens.
I have even heard some of those Guys that were doing this union something were giving slots in this lagride stuff, they are all big boys now.
All the while they were using the union thing to chase their own interests.
At a point government wanted ehailing drivers to paint thier cars certain color. You remember?
A lot of drivers frowned against it, because government didn't provide this job and didn't do anything to improve it besides it's my car and that's not what's obtainable elsewhere, it was easy to fight it because there was no union and no known means to actually identify ehailing drivers assuming there was a union trust me it would have come to fruition.

A lot of drivers cry because of the high percentage of bolt commission but don't know what is exactly going on behind the scenes, bolt aren't the only people taking that commission you see.

It took a lot before government forced them into it, take a lot at those delivery Guys and see how they suffer in the hands of those agberos that's exactly what will be happening any day you form any union.

There many unions in this country, how many of them have really improved the warfare of it's members? The leaders are just out there to take advantage of them, you will regret it if any union come on board and start dictating things for you.

True talk bro.

My car almost burnt down last week cause the abs module started burning, even with the car off and parked.

That is how i had to remove 90k to buy abs module, omo the tin pain me no be small.

God is in control sha, and I thank God that I was there when it was burning, and it did not start burning while I was sleeping cause I would have lost the whole car to fire.

However, it is still painful to have lost that money for useless abs that I don't even use.

Crvrider:
You see this thing when pearl dey talk, me I no get, in fact there's no day I leave the house without opening the bonnet of my car. Due to prior experience I've had with over heating, I look my dashboard while driving more than a lady look mirror wearing makeup sef. So, instead of carrying spare of everything like he does, I'll just tow another crv so now I know I really have two of everything.

Tgiirl:
Good day sir and Ma

I need your expertise on this.

My in-law uses Nissan Rogue 2014 model. Before he travelled he topped the CVT gear oil with abor oil.

When he starred the suv to go out. The vehicle refuse to drive or reverse.
We called a nearby mechanic and all he said was the gear is bad without even checking anything.


Pls what can be done

Seem rider's determines the shift in price in this business. Regardless of the fuel issue, it looks like rider's are not much today. The way drivers are dragging 1300 trip. I really suffered today, tho met my target but with more input.

Boss, subsidy have to go, FG can't keep borrowing to subsidise fuel. The only problem here is the presure will be intense, because will actually don't have any refinery that is working up to optimal. Maybe Otunba Dangote, the chief monopolist is about to start his own before June. This one they are doing is just to test the water. Eventually they will keep increasing pump price and the people will be adjusting to the new price without any fuss. After this fist for 2 months, if they increase it to 185 as rumoured, I'm sure we are all going to accept the new price in good faith

Almost everything has increase by 100% or more. Name it! Bag or pure water from 150k/250k. Malt of 150k/300k. Olosho 20k is now 50k. We'll survive, they used to be a time biscuit was sold for 1 naira.

Lol, Bro that original coolant.

The unfortunate thing is our kazeems will just let those coolants go and will not even hesitate to replace them with water, very anyhow people.
Anyways u can contact Mr Dru, he used to have original coolants.
U can use it to replace it, there's a reason oyibo have the coolant tank.
If not for anything it helps prevent your radiator from rusting quick.

I use a 2.4l 2003 Toyota camry
(big daddy).
At 170Naira/Iiter I notice that I can do a gross of 5k on 1k fuel during surge.
This falls to 4k during regular periods.
Some times Bolt can frustrate and burn your fuel with long pick ups.
They always lie about the time it takes to reach pick-up. If it's frequent I can gross as low as 3.5k per 1k fuel.

By the way can anyone show me how to hack my reducing driverscore whenever passenger cancels?

Isn't it stupid for bolt to send you on a pickup above 10-15 minutes and penalize you when rider cancels due to impatience?

Gentlelife50:
E be like say u no dey full that tank before, u for don notice am.
If no be fuel scarcity u for no notice am, u see anything wey get advantage get disadvantage.

After the owner "upgraded" the car, he didn't want to use it anymore?

I'd be embarrassed to drive this, or even be a passenger in it.

The only amicable settlement is him sending back your excess, if he thinks the fare is not enough he should contact bolt for review.

You have every right to get your money back, i never see driver wey talk say fare too high refund rider. So kala gba owo è
