Mutemenot:
I regretted buying ...very light and not for steady use

nymphomaniac:
Gazzuzz, does the 02 spacer work as the catalyst would have or it just “deceives” the car into thinking the catalyst works? Why didn’t you fix a replacement catalyst? Just curious.

GAZZUZZ:
Mobil1 5w30 engine oil and filter,

Toyota W.S Transmission oil. You can get it from 08033910382 in Lagos

blazetitov:
Good Morning Boss,

Thanks for the other time.

Update:
So i checked for air leaks as advised and i didn't see any though my check might not have been exhaustive. But i discovered that the air filter was not fixed properly and a hose to the engine has the clip on the on the body of the rubber instead of the mouth. So those two were corrected and i cleared the error code. It didn't come up for 3 weeks.

However, it (P0101) came up again on Easter Monday (last week), i cleared it, drove the car for a week. Then the check engine light was up again last night. Same error code P0101.

I also noticed the engine hesitates a little when i try to accelerate or when i want to start it.

Kindly assist.

DMechy:
na my work, i always outsourced transmission jobs, they gave more headaches than worthy jobs that pays bills. Since them wan spoil my small name. I kuku cancel anything repair. If i scan, i just see solenoid. Forgerrit, replace. This is after changing transmission fluid to see if it improves.


Like i said, transmission repairs are doable. If done right. The question is, who will fix it right?

Transmission overhaul, and engine rebuild is a sector in Nigeria's auto repair sector that has not been fully harnessed. There's so much money to be made there. The interesting part is, repair manuals cover overhauls, and it is practical and doable.

My problem is, this guys i have used before, with good recommendations and good self appraisals have not won me over 2 times on several occasions. They just wash everything with kerosene, pack everything back with a little sand sand. And some missing bolts and seals that they dont know where they came from. And fiam, boss, drive it. It is now ok. And they are never ok.

EgunMogaji2:
Part of my retirement scheme was opening an American styled auto repair shop in Ibadan.

Fast forward a few years later Madam opened her shop and I was delighted because sourcing non fake parts issue was resolved.

All along I was understudying Gazzuzz too and reading on customer feedback.

After this thread let me announce here and now that I EgunMogaji will not be repairing vehicles in Nigeria.

Automobile is my hobby and I’ll still be involved till my last breadth so all I’ll do is import specific vehicles and accessories.

I’ll just go and open certification deposits in Ghana instead of this stress.

Jeeezzzuzzz.

PS: Sone vehicles are better off stripped for parts no matter how good they look.

HottieCoach:
Assuming you are correct, will you repair it?

GAZZUZZ:
There's nothing to remove

HottieCoach:
Have your vehicle scanned , if you have p0420 or 430 there is no catalyst

GAZZUZZ:
Before use, you will have to clear the contents of the catalytic converters

Shanid:
Hello , good evening everyone , trust you had a wonderful weekend. Please can I change my oil from semi synthetic 5W30 to fully synthetic 5W30 oil.?

CsRockefeller:
Who can show/briefly teach/educate me how to know good brake pads and how to change them?

My brake pads are not sharp at all, they need to be changed asap but I don't trust these mechanics.

I want to buy the brake pads myself then get a mechanic to fix it.

dicksonadams:
Toyota might be known for durability and good mpg... But there are compromise which some buyers might not be aware of like handling, interior quality and plushness, performance, best bargain for value.
Other things worth considering

1, the best mpg is actual not corrolla's

2, cheapest parts corrola 2004 engine 250k transmission say 90k, Civic 2004 engine 120k transmission 80k



3, resale value - corolla 2004 bought at 1.8m sold 1.2m after 2 years... Depreciation or value lost 600k... HONDA civic 2004 bought 1.3m sold 700k aftsr 2 years value lost 600k...if use for Uber... The Civic guy would had recovered his money faster



Etc add yours
