kaajemaina:
Hello, experts in the house, I have Rav4 05 that don't engage in reverse. All other gear are engaging seamlessly. I have serviced the transmission system, changed the filter with recommended fluid (Toyota T- iv). Any other things you think I can do sirs.

AmuDimpka:

Thanks for the quick response. I am grateful. Please wat is the price estimate?

It should be between 90k and 120k because your 97-00 is different from 01-03

Do you still drive your sienna? Mine is 2002 model. What oil(gear and engine) is recommended because I think the oil use must have contributed to my situation. And Radiator coolant.

I use MRS 5W40 full synthetic since I bought mine 6 years ago

I used Total MVLV dextron 6 for my gear, the Oando dextron 3 flares the transmission when it is hot like 2hrs driving. Alot of high mileage sienna I personally know experience flares and some packup especially with cheap ATF usage. transmission aren't like Engines at certain high mileage it's unusual to start experiencing failure.

my radiator coolant is the one total sells for 450, the green one, been using it since 2017, I haven't had time to drain it and refill but will do that when I get opportunity


I have been doing the unholy act of using water. Can my ignorant action still be redeemed. Do I need to change the whole radiator. Or just switch back to using coolant

As long as the radiator isn't blocked or leaking, just drain the whole water and buy 5L of coolant, pour about 3.5 to 4L and use the remaining to top up after driving.

mukhcech:
Sir. Help my life. Spent 20k already on this Gear.
My problem is similar to what the OP said. But here is the picture of what I am going through.

I took my Sienna to mechanic for gear oil Change. after noticing some drags and sudden change in acceleration. The mechanic said the oil was burnt. I did notice some iron fillings on the filter during the servicing. The mechanic said it was a non-issue. He washed clean the filter and replaced the gear with Oando dextron 3 gear oil-I just hope I am not mistaken. The oil is sold for 3800. I drove the car to the wheel alignment and balancing shop to check since I will be Traveling on the third day. After checking the alighnment and stuff. I reversed out. put it on drive. Nah so my condition start. it won't engage in drive nor reverse. Towed it to the gear mechanic. He checked it and said the drive was bad. changed the drive. Still no show. He removed and service the Valve body. Only the Reverse gear worked. Replaced the 9 pin valve body with a 5 pin Valve body. Took the car for a test ride. Selection from 1 to 2 is Jacky but rest selection was okay. The reverse gear engage but not enough power to move the car because When he raised one of the wheel. The gas pedal rolls the the wheel in reverse but not when the four wheeler are on ground. He later discovered car reverse stops working as car gets hot. please, What can I do?

egopersonified:
If I have already added water to the reservoir, can I ask them to drain it all and fill back with coolant?

While my mind was made up on the TSX, I only just discovered now that the tsx requires Premium gasoline and not the regular gasoline we have in Nigeria. I have read that this will affect the performance, gas mileage and have a big toll on the engine in the long run. This is a huge put off for me as I would prefer to have peace of mind with my first ride. What do you think sir?

Lexusgs430:
You think Umidigi are yoking....... Type C all the way........

Codyella:
Please I need information on pontiac torrent. Are the parts readily available in Nigeria? Does it have serious issues? Please help.

Themandalorian:
true true ariwo kor ni music but I no dey run go anywhere. My choice is the LFA.
And please its not noise making but orgasmic sounds

Themandalorian:
But the LFA has the best sounding engine of any sport car and its very rare too. I'd take the LFA over it.

KINGreignn:
Keep deceiving yourself with those lying numbers.

KINGreignn:
And the NSX is what the LF-A sh*ts on top.

KINGreignn:
For your mind. Make e kill the IS-F make we say look na

Babalawoniger:
Please, I will like to know the differences between Toyota matrix standard, xr and xrs. And which is the best among?

mrbock:
Radautoworks, nurey, heavenlybang
My friend is confused betweeb the is250 07 and the Acura TSX 09
which is the better. i have the is so I'm a bit biased

Tucode:
Thanks sir, you've been helpful. But one more question please.

Imagine budget is not a problem but you're a car novice who values stylish design but also conscious of cost of maintenance, and adaptability to our roads and you're to choose between the Honda Accord, Acura tsx and TL, which would you pick?

Throwing in the TL to make things interesting. Thanks.

Tucode:
[Thanks for the reply. But I want to know if it has similar or close enough maintenance cost, availability of parts and is it nearly rugged as the regular Honda Accord DC? I will be using it in Benin and Benin roads aren't the best actually. quote author=nurey post=86562555]

TSX is a very luxurious Honda Accord Europe which is identical to Honda Accord North America.

so you are basically buying an Honda Accord 4cylinder with more luxurious fitting

dljbd1:
What do you guys think about 07 DC?

Tucode:
Hello guys,

I have been following this thread now and I have not seen anyone talk about Acura. Is it that the cars aren't good enough for our roads? I recently started taking note of the Acura Tsx and I am completely sold by our good looking and premium the car looks both exterior and interior. I have added it to the list of cars I will likely buy. But I really would love more info about the car and whether it is reliable, durable, and easy to maintain. It will be the first time I will be buying and owning a car.

My top picks are
Acura TSX 2006/07
Toyota Camry 2006 XLE
Lexus ES 330
Honda Accord 2007 EX-L.

Budget is around 2m for Toks only. I don't care much about speed. Looking out for Class, Reliability, Cost of Maintenance, Suitability with our roads (Benin City) and Aesthetics.

I have fair knowledge about the camry and lexus and Honda already as they are quite common on our roads. I just need someone to give me more insight about the Acura and how it holds up with the others. Thanks.

BarrSly:
Mr. Nurey you're so smart and skilled at what you say and do... sir are you skilled at checking out cars before purchase? I might be needing your help as I’m not in Lagos but I’m ready to finance you to go check one out for when I’m ready to make the purchase.

falansa:
Hello bosses in the house,
With a budget of 2-2.7m, which car is best to go for please? Judging by...

Luxury
reliability
fuel economy/consumption
performance
parts availability
cost of repairs

PS: I am a layman when it comes to car and I virtually know nothing. Just want to get my first car and don't want to regret it

Thanks all

Dbass2020:
And which one is likely to visit the mechanic frequently?
I want to get one of the three cars and I don’t want to regret any decision I make

Dbass2020:
Car gurus compare 2003 Lexus es300, 2006 Lexus es330 and 2009 lexus es350.

Key points
1. Fuel consumption
2. Maintenance
