Jobs/Vacancies / Re: New Federal Government Job And IPPIS Issue by NobleEngineer(m): 4:53am On Apr 29, 2021
you Sabi
nitt:
it depends on a lot of factors -

1) has your mda captured the new intake/intakes salaries in the agency's yearly financial cycle.

2) you may get the arrears of your salary depending on the agency's arrangement with ippis, or not!.

3) ippis is only for federal government workers and has no concern with private employment.

4) you do not have to wait 12 months to start receiving salary once enrolled on ippis. check (1) above.

Health / Re: The Three Giant Scorpions I Killed After One Stung Me (Photos) by NobleEngineer(m): 9:20pm On Apr 24, 2021
Odewaleadesoye:
Around 9pm last night, I saw eight scorpions walking on the road.

I was shocked because I've never seen such number of scorpions in my life.

One of them stung me while I tried to take their photograph.

I was able to kill three and the other ran away.

Sincerely speaking, pain from scorpion bite is very terrible.

I wanted to post it last night but I couldn't due to the pain.

I just want to advise and remind everyone out there to be very careful at night. Please use torch when you're going out.
when you got stung, did u use any medicine or the pain just wear off on its own

That is what I hate about car talk.
They're a gang here if not more like a mob.
That list of faults on that car is so long the owner should be ashamed of himself as som1 who visits this thread, even the engine is going to be opened.
If this car wasn't being repaired on charity/ to prove a point, how much does he think he'd have been charged for diagnosis and labour alone?
Kudos to Gazz.uz sha,he's proven to be a brilliant mechanic once again, just like the guys at Radauto's gig

Car Talk / Re: From Gazzuzz To Radautoworks And Back Again…my Story. by NobleEngineer(m): 8:27am On Apr 11, 2021
a lot of onlookers here watching, the reality; if you know U know!...flatmate forwarded this thread link to me, he did not even know even me been following this thread right from onset. He might be visiting Radautoworks during the week to do amebọ grin and service his ford. He would like to visit this so-called scammer
FxHouse:
Stumbled on this thread during my usual visit to the the car talk section and noticed the whole drama that is beginning to look like a set up.

Been an avid reader but as a guest, seeing this had to make me log back in.

Let's take a quick look at the whole thing from the beginning.

Op went to gazzuzz, gazzuzz couldn't fix the problem, maybe because he lacked the knowledge on how to go about it as at that time.

Now that it looks like the oil switch upgrade is the only solution (which radautoworks had proposed earlier), and going by timelines of posts on this thread she was the first to propose that solution, alongside other valid repairs that were done on the vehicle, including the ones that involved removing and replacing defective parts severally for free (labour hours), because the Op kept providing fake parts, gazzuzz is suddenly interested.

This goes to show that the set up has been orchestrated from the beginning. The op ignored all the positives, there's nothing radautoworks could have done that the op would have appreciated, since he was on a mission.

The uploaded scan results shows the numerous problems the car had prior to taking it to radautoworks, the oil pressure switch issue was just one of it.

Other problems were resolved, the blue smoke was resolved and the reason for the white smoke was given as a result of the bad valve seals the op provided.

No credits for the 100 percent job done, just an upgrade is the reason all this bashing and name calling.

Goes to show how far people would go to bring down radautoworks because she's female, know her onion, she's thriving and they are envious.

Nairalanders should look deeper, this time, unbiased.

pls wait for professional answers before going ahead with the oil change. my small opinion says don't do it...and I think oil shortage before next service is common. avoid the 20W50 at all cost unless otherwise professionally advised by a professional professional if u know what I mean grin
steevy:
Good morning good people.

I use 5w20 Honda engine oil for my 07 Accord but I normally top up a gallon or two sometimes before it's time for a full service.

A mechanic recommended Mobil XRP 20w50 saying the Honda oil was too thin as my engine has gotten old.

Should I swap to the Mobil?
Thoughts please.

Even if you are not ready to press down your V6 pedal very well , the 206 will leave you wandering what was in her hood as she whistles pass your v6 and away into the tarred distance.

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.
