GAZZUZZ:
Let's dissect your post logically and scientifically, bearing in mind the Nigerian factor.





Congratulations. What is vehicles present mileage vs mileage when it was exported ?

This answer will most likely resolve the next quote




Under no circumstances should vehicle temp exceed the half mark, unless there is a defect in the cooling system which I am assuming there is not, and that takes me back to the first quote about mileage.

In Nigeria 9/10 vehicles have had their mileages rolled back (BCD tins) how this is done in most cases is to take out the instrument cluster do some quick reprogramming and presto 500k miles becomes 25k. Sadly the cows that do the actual work are usually sloppy and don't return dials to the factory rest positions which I turn could result in first quote. There are several quick ways to confirm if it is a defect.

1. Crude method . Start the engine (AC off) Open the bonnet and watch the temp go up, the second the fans start working check the needle, if it is over the half mark, then the temp dial is wrongly placed.

2. Technical way. Plug a scan tool and leave it on live scan, start car with a/c off search for coolant temp in scan tool, when the needle goes above half in vehicle , compare data in scan tool, if over 100deg Celcius, then there is a problem, if it's relaxing between 90-98deg Celcius you are fine and again the temp dial is wrongly placed.


How does this all work.

The cooling system of your car has computer that monitors engine temp (among other things) the mechanical thermostat opens up at about 86degrees Celcius and allows hot coolant flow from the engine to the radiator, the fans don't kick in till about 96degrees (low speed) and stay on till the temp drops to 89degrees then the cycle repeats with the coolant in the radiator dropping to temps lower than the engine coolant temp which shuts the mechanical thermostat up waiting for engine temps to heat up an the cycle continues.

When matured people thrash out issues, it is always a delight to read. We look forward to the end of this transaction.

Crocif, I'd appreciate if this thread isn't shut down when all has been resolved. It will serve as a lesson on maturity for Nairalanders.

Mummy radutoworks, well done.

KINGreignn:
Location of the car? One will need to be diagnosed properly before repairs is attempted.

KINGreignn:
Oh sorry about this. I believe you have either fixed this car or abandoned it.
Hope you were not injured in this crash and you visited a hospital to be certified medically fit?

Sorry for the delayed reply but rarely do I use this moniker because my main moniker is active. I only use this moniker when my main moniker is restricted.

Well this is why they are trying to impeach Trump my brother to enforce law and order .. Unfortunately trump behaves like a Nigerian.... I know this is off the point .. Lol

dru23:
we are here to learn so let me educate you guys .. if you are going to drive a car in the USA , you need license to drive , the car must be insured., register and you will need a plate .. .. so dumb ones( am guilty of it ) will take a plate from their car and put it on the car that is going to the port .. the risk here is if the cop pulls you over and reads the plate . if the plate information does not march what you are driving .. the car will seize and you will be given a citation and a fine which will affect your driving record .... so because you trying to save $150 or more , you end up paying more money plus inconvenience .. and some cars are not worthy , even though they look it..........

another option is a dealers plate .. you will need to find someone that has a dealer plates to drive the car to the port . and you will have to find your way back after dropping it off at the port , unless you ask someone to pick you up at the port . the cost to rent a dealers plate varies , but it will cost nothing less than $100.00 now if your name is not authorize on the dealer plate and you get pull over or get into an accident . the real owner of the dealer plate will get a citation.. the dealer plates are meant for drivers that are under that plate ... to save headache time and money better to get a towing truck

NipseyHustle:
Thanks bro. Please how much would it cost?
