Pls whats the difference in terms of the cost of maintenance/parts for the regular corolla/avensis and the verso

They use identical engine, suspension parts and some body panel parts. You should only be worried about lamps both front and rear. You can just go for the regular Estate or wagon though they may be rare to find.

The verso are 7seater that were used to replace sienna and previa in some continents to avoid government tax on bigger MPVs.

that machine go dey consume too much fuel be that

It's a W12 Bros fuel consumption is not the headache of someone who owns such vehicles your headache in Naija is qualified Technician and paying for repairs.

You will enjoy every drive in it and not mind it's fuel consumption

Good evening fellow nairalanders, i am considering changing my corolla 2004 engine, as the current one tends to give me issues too often these days.
A mechanic advised that the engine can be worked with about 70k and it will back to almost perfect, but i have my doubts regards that.
Please, i want to know how much same engine go for, so i can get my self together and make a decision.
Those with price ideas should please assist.
Many thanks.

Advice you just replace since alot of work has been done and no positive result. Input your query in Gazzuzz thread he can help you find the exact match cause that year Corolla had around 6 plus petrol engine. You can pay him to replace or just buy a direct toks from him with warranty.

So now you see why I was asking for your dealer contact

Even the 220k self.. I dey fear say na work work engine..

Your bought brand new is probably the same engine as the US 03 - 05

As of 2017 a friend replaced engine & gear at 250k.. 04 accord

Yes the 03 to 05 had drive by cable from tokunbo I was opportuned to see their bonnet, my 06 is exactly identical to them. Anyway the k24 Engines are like 5 identical with different applications early accords are a bit safe it's the recent accords that gbege fit happen if you buy a lower base k24

Good afternoon,

Who has an idea of price and where I can get VW Toureg engine.
V8 BHX engine.
Thanks.

If you have any info, please feel free to share

Your post is a bit confusing. What you need is it a 03 to 07 VW toureg V8 engine. you should always put year of vehicle so people would not thing you are looking for a 2018 engine.

The VW toureg as known was not fitted with a BHX but AXQ though most of the technician can't really confirm that because the toureg and it's identical twin the Q7 VW didn't specify what type of Engine code they carried.

difference from online source

BHX: Leak diagnosis system - yes

AXQ: Leak diagnosis system - Only vehicles for USA and Canada

Every single thing about Mercedes Benz must always make front page haba, the mods have been compromised abi Dem think say Benz go dash them free unit.






W12 QUATTRO is still the best

thebigkendo:
He got quote for 220k

As at 2016 to 2017 this same Engine was 180k. Different people quote different prices the only way to confirm is to ask someone that is there ask luvinghubby for a workable price.

if you check jiji and ladipong the price is 100 to 120k.

modified: just called my mechanic, okay so my accord (06) was bought brand new in Nigeria so the Engine in it is different from the US imported 06/07 so the 03 to 05 is the 150k own the 06 to 07 is 200k plus also my accord is drive by cable instead of the US drive by wire

I no see for 150k for the oyingbo.. Na why I dey ask for your dealer ni

I don't have a dealer there, that's the price mechanic quote for me, I don't buy parts myself, if the Engine is more expensive than that identify that and stop this your BCD wahala

and remember the 2.4 I am talking about isn't the one fitted into the evil spirit they are same litre but different engines

Care to share your dealer contact?

Go oyingbo nah he plenty 4 there

Any advice on the 06/07 Accord EX-L trim

Pros vs Cons

Focus is on reliability for me.

What to watch out for? Gear and engine replacement costs. Any known issues to watch out for with these particular model year

Maintenance advice if bought...


Thanks.

Gear 120k, engine is 200k plus for the 2.4L 4 cylinder engine. Regular fault are engine seatings and window control unit just change when faulty.

Note of warning use the recommended fluid for both the gear and power steering, power steering especially is unforgiven on wrong fluid usage.

For the V6 I don't know much but I guess it's just to take care of it as any regular vehicle.

Good morng car experts,
Pls I have read thru all the posts here on required engine oil for cars...and I must say I have just been confused!.....My car is a 2005 Toyota Camry Big daddy,bought last year from the US with 125,00 miles on it I started servicing using Mobil 1,5w-30 American specs... But I noticed that the oil gets short after 3months.So I changed to Total 5w-40 and it doesn't get short......Now I have read here that Total 5w-40 is not appropriate....Kindly advise on what oil I should use for my Car plsssssss........Toyota Camry 2005.Mileage is now at 135,000 miles..plssssss advise
Cc: Sooperescue

the 2az 4 cylinder engine in the US market 05 Camry is a known oil burner.

the Mobil 5w30 you bought could be 4L while the Total oil could be 5L so check to confirm what L both oil come in.

If both are 5L then use the total a second time and check whether you notice oil reduction if none, stick to the total

Thanks for ur prompt response bro. I'm a pharmacy marketer BT I don't understand all d terms u used in ur response o.Meanwhile, don't u think that Rav4 is too expensive(cost&maintainace). Which one is Avensis? I want a particular model DT u can recommended. Thank u

Toyota Avensis Verso/Toyota picnic 2001 to 2009

Toyota Avensis wagon 03-09 model

Toyota RAV4 2000 to 05 model year for manual transmission but 04 and 05 only if it's automatic transmission 01 to 03 auto had a factory defect that may not have been fixed in the unit you intend to buy.

Avensis is not a robber or vandals magnet like the Corolla it's not a must you buy a wagon/estate but it can come in handy when you need to sleep on the road or extra space for personal cargo

Good day house. Pls I need a suggestion on which car(tokunbo) to buy. My budget is between 1.5-2.2M. A lot of people said I should get a Toyota corola because of its fuel efficiency and cheap parts. I am a marketer, so alot of times d car will be carrying load up and down...I will be plying a lot of bad roads too.
......considering all ds factors, which model of car fits my need? I don't want sienna

Depends on what kind of load you are hauling, a pharmacy marketer can use a small sedan after all drugs aren't that heavy compared to an electronic marketer say someone selling microwaves or any heavy load.

depending on how bad the road you intend to ply are, I did say

1. Corolla/avensis verso variant (wagon) for space, if the roads expected have off-road tendencies then

2. RAV4 or Lexus RX300 can be of equal advantage to you

Thanks for breaking it down But however why will a 3.2L engine be more fuel efficient than a 2.4L engine this seems against the norm. Any explanation for this?

Both Engines are V6 explanation I can give is build design, unless you know the design of both Engines then you can determine why the mpg of both are irregular, it's same for Toyota 1mz, 3mz and 2GR, the 3.5L has a better MPG than the 3.3 and 3.0L for same vehicle class.

in other words you are advising me to go for c320, now what am i going to get in c320
how efficient is the fuel economy
how affordable is the maintenance
do you advice me as a first time benze owner to go for c230 4matic

Most days the C320 is more fuel efficient than the C240

C320 was made mostly in Germany so quality is good notch some C240 were made in Brazil and adviced to stay away from such

C320 had many standard feature that were optional in the C240, also the 320 was good with power and acceleration while the C240 is a slow snail.

in terms of maintenance well both vehicles are almost basically same, maintenance for both shouldn't be too different and isn't going to break a bank.
