@Oladi2

Someone who isn’t as smart as you will google the answers to these, score 25/25, get your slot and you’ll wake up everyday jobless crying and complaining about Nigeria being too corrupt but you forget that Nigeria is not a person, it is you and me.

Isn’t this corruption? What you just did? In a sane country, you might be in jail right now and honestly thats where you truly belong. You’re a shame to your family and the institution that granted you placement for tertiary education. You passed your exams but didn’t really develop as an complete adult. After all the investment on you by the state and your family, you decide not to better society but to ruin it. I’m ashamed for you.

The recruitment is very competitive, you are reducing your chance by posting the questions here.

This is lovely, laudable and beautiful.

That means from Epe, I can take Ferry to Falomo. That's great

this is the reason Japanese cars are super reliable and gives peace of mind,how on Earth will a car manufacturer connect the functions of headlights,wiper, etc to the cars ECU or brain box,this is overengineering that is guaranteed to fail,I use a 2007 Honda Accord and last week surprisingly the car stopped and refused to start,I called my rewire after 5 minutes poking around he discovered that the AC waste water pipe was blocked and water backed up and was dropping on the ECU,the brain box was brought out and it has not less than half cup of water inside,the rewire just opened the module used rag and dried it and after 10 minutes of sun drying it was installed and the car was even better than before,but in some cars this issue will be a complete joy killers.oh,and it just cost me #2k for the rewire.

Wow, thanks for sharing. That's quite nice, easy and cheap.

How much can one get a clean tokunbo Peugeot 407 year 2010? Manual transmission with factory LHD and petrol engine.

God forbid

emmancecute:
cars are expensive now, dont sell ridicously.

Thank you, I won't.

aieromon:
It was written........

I won't sell again

emmancecute:
eyah, sorry about your experience. Your engine isn't up to 200k, I'm sure you bought borale engine and that shouldn't be more than 120k max. Truth is, Car as been seriously abused. Are you in Lagos?

Thank you.

I know borale but this was not borale. I bought borale earlier for my 307 for N60k or so then.

This one was full tokunbo engine as they said. My Rewire told me he had the engine and would sell to me at N130k but I sidelined him and went through someone else to buy it in same Ladipo for that N200k. I later discovered that the seller cheated me as a novice because some parts like kick, nuzzle, and others were not added. I had to give him small nsogbu for him to give me a compressor.

The car is not doing badly now sha, I know how I manage it. I have even placed it on sale for N800k and people are willing to buy it for N600k and N700k. My Rewire has advised me against selling it that cars are very expensive now.

Yes, I am in Lagos.

emmancecute:
I'm interested

Now, here goes the story.

I went with my Mechanic to another state to buy the 407. We got there, he test-drove it and everything was fine. We paid and drove the car back to state.

I paid my Mech for all the mechanical works he will need to do on the car including servicing, and that when he is done he should take the car to my Rewire for assessment and electrical fix up.

On checking it, my Rewire was very angry with my Mech for going to buy such abused Lion for me. Rewire said the car was an original LHD that was converted, original diesel engine that was changed to petrol. He was vissibly angry with the Mech guy for misleading me.
I was very surprised because we drove the car interstate and didn't have any issue on the road.

I eventually did the folowing to fix the car.
1. I bought a new BSI, brain box and key (they said it comes together)
2. New fuse box
And some other things I can't remember.

After the rewire was done, I still discovered that the car was doing overheating. I decided to take it to a Peugeot dealer in Mainland to fix. On my way there, the car did overheating four times on the road and it burnt the gasket and some other important parts of the engine and I was told the engine was badly damaged by the overheating. I had to buy this new EW10 engine (full tokunbo) for N200,000.00, I bought selection cable for N25,000 (because the gear was very strong right from when I bought it), new clutch disc and plate, and some other stuff I have forgotten.

The car is now okay to a large extent but the major issue now is that if I leave it for a long time, it drains the battery, so I normally remove the battery head till I need to drive it.

That's the story.

Thank you CUPP

Ok, I will drop it later today, I am on the road right now.

emmancecute:
if that doesn't work, he should check if fuel pump has enough pressure.

Ook thanks, I will tell him.

emmancecute:
how long have you been using it?

6 months now, but it spent more time with artisans than me. It is a long story.

If you are interested in the story, I will narrate it later today.

emmancecute:
the car came with diesel engine and as been converted to petrol engine already. If convertion is properly done, then you have nothing to worry about.

The car is working fine but I observed that it does hard starting which my Mech has said he will solve by cleaning the plug and nuzzle for me tomorrow.

aieromon:
407 SEDAN 4 DOORS 1.6 HDi 110 FAP (DV6TED4) BVM 5

Thank you.

How do I know the engine it came with originally?

emmancecute:
if this information is true, car came with diesel engine and was converted from RHD to LHD.

Wow, you are very correct sir.

Thank you

emmancecute:
quote me with the vin, let me see if I can check it for you.

VIN: VF36D9HZC21048090.

Thank you

aieromon:
You didn't buy a EW10A engine for sure. This thread is for you.

Thank you.

How do I make corrections as per this thread?

emmancecute:
you can do a vin check to be sure about the engine vehicle came with

Thank you.

You have a link where I can do that?

emmancecute:
ok, thats EW10j4. Was that the engine the car with?

Thank you.

I don't even know, I will have to ask my Rewire or Mech.

emmancecute:
does your engine look like the one posted by op or looks like this?

This is my engine.

Thanks

aieromon:
Why did you buy a Tokunbo engine? What information do you want?

I was advised to buy a tokunbo engine, I bought it at Ladipo. Do people buy brand new engines?

I want to know if my engine is EW10A or EW10J4A.

Thank you

emmancecute:
does your engine look like the one posted by op or looks like this?

Yes, this is my type of engine

aieromon:
I hope you replaced like for like? If you didn't, then this thread is for you.

I am a novice, I just love the Peugeot brand and started using it. I don't even know what you mean by like for like.

aieromon:
Your engine code is right there in the VIN.

Does it change? Because I bought a full tokunbo EW10 engine last 2 months

EW10A TO EW10J4 IN PEUGEOT 407: NIGERIAN FACTOR.

For the past few days, I was engage in providing partial remote Pre-purchase inspections for a client interested in buying Peugeot 407 with EW10J4. Among the 407s he sent me their pictures, one had EW10J4, but the wiring connections and Engine attachments were that of EW10A. When I asked him to send me the VIN, it indicated EW12J4 instead. I asked and directed him where to find and send me Engine ECU picture which showed EW10A ECU (all in one vehicle, but at least it confirmed my suspicion).

About 2 more 407s he sent me their pictures had EW10J4, but their engine ECUs were EW10A. Not saying I was surprised, because it's what majority of 407 users with EW10A Engines end up doing.

The interesting part was from the look of those EW10J4 engines on the pictures, they were recently purchased and swapped in (tokunbo), yet the owners still prefer to get rid of their cars. The reasons were obvious.

EW10J4 or EW7J4 will never run properly with EW10A Engine management systems. They realised how unsuccessful the conversions were and wanted to transfer the headache to someone else. Fortunately, people who prefer abused lions at any cost would buy off those nightmares from them, even at give away prices, only to start crying "HELP! HELP! HELP!

EW10A camshaft position sensor is attached on intake camshaft, while that of EW10J4 is mounted on Exhaust camshaft. Their ECU expects different values from those sensors to determine the conditions of timing and use the information to control when and how their Engines start and run. Connecting EW10A ECU to EW10J4 will mess up the Engine start (severe hard start), among other things.

EW10A is an improved and more powerful engine to EW10J4 with lesser fuel consumption. It has VVT solenoid, unlike the predecessor (EW10J4). So expecting the EW10A ECU to run EW10J4 engine properly without or in absence of VVT solenoid shows ignorance on function of VVT solenoid and how the system work Engine ECU. Will not only run rich, but will be underpowered, among other issues it will introduce.

For EW10J4 engine to work properly on Peugeot 407 with formerly EW10A, the EW10J4 systems must be swapped in, which will cost more than value of the car (such conversions are not for the fainthearted or those working with limited budget).

If you are interested in buying a Peugeot 407 and you know nothing about modern Peugeot Vehicle systems, do not go and make purchase without Pre-purchase inspections by someone that understands those systems. If you do, don't come back crying for help if you end up with such severe abused 407 and expect sympathy or even empathy from me when the nightmares starts. You were warned before hand.

If you already own a Peugeot 407 with the EW10A Engine and considering doing the stupid conversion to EW10J4 engine in abused manner, it's better for to take the lion to a Peugeot technician that understands the system to fix the lion or sell the car and buy one with EW10J4 engine from factory (unless converted outside Nigeria properly). The cost of doing the conversion properly can buy you another 407 in good condition, unless you are hardcore enthusiast like me who spend with heart in conversion, not with head. If you ignore this advice and do it wrongly as these local Nigerian mechanics usually suggest to users, you will learn the hard way (probably better for you).

I honestly don't see anything wrong with this dreaded EW10A. It has more power than EW10J4 and still consume less than the EW10J4. Parts are available and not so pricey. As long as you maintain the EW10A DO'S & DONTs, the Engine will serve you perfectly well like the EW10J4 every Nigerian is praising. 99% users of the EW10A are running 20w-50 & 15W-50 oil weights in the Engine, when Peugeot specifically recommended only 5w-40 for the Engine, which fortunately is abundantly available in Nigeria. Yet they will start complaining their EW10A Engines don't last or always giving issues. One thing that Engine hates is abuse, both mechanically and Electrically, which most users enjoy doing and expecting different feedback from their Engines.

EW10A is not a perfect Engine (has its strengths and weaknesses), and so does the EW10J4. I know some Peugeot 407 users with EW10A Engines that are truly enjoying their lions for years I have known them. If you are not enjoying yours, the problem is not your Engine or your vehicle. Look inward.

Lion King - Monk.

Good day Lion King,

My car is a Peugeot 407 with EW10 engine, but I don't know whether it is EW10A or EW10J4A. How do I find this out?

Thank you for this

For the first time, Nigerian Army (NA) did not say it is FAKE NEWS.

I don't even know how to feel because I disliked NA after they kill peaceful protesters at Lekki and denied it. #LekkiMassacre

This is a nice deterrent message.
