Hi house

I would like to inquire about the 2013 Kia Rio. I want to know how reliable the car is, availability and affordability of parts is?

The only downside to the car is the AC compressor, it gets spoilt around 100k km I don't know whether it can be mitigated but a lot of complaints in that department.

The engine is quite expensive stay away from an abused one and ensure you use the manufacturer specific oil weight from a reputable company on it. Did I also mention overheating which can be avoid by been vigilant.

majority of the engines been ringed was caused by overheating and the car may not remain the same

Car Talk › Re: Advice On Getting A Volvo Xc90 05/06 Model by nurey(m): 11:13am On Apr 12, 2019

rexfada:
Hello Nairalanders,
I plan on getting an SUV, esp a Volvo XC90 05/06 model. I need an advice from professionals and experienced users of the pros and cons of getting the car.
I want to know;
* the cost of using and maintaining the car
* how expensive and readily available are the parts
* what is the fuel economy of the car like
* how reliable is the car on Nigerian roads
* which of the variant (L5, T6, V8) is better to go for
* which other low budget SUVs can be substitutes for it.

CC: Nairaland car gurus

This particular car is a very good car. stay far away from the T6 engine ones.

Nobody can answer question 1 even someone using the car can't it's subjective

some minute parts may be scarse to source but as long as you maintain it well you may not get to that stage

it's an SUV with a big tank, fuel economy is not synonymous with SUVs

reliability on naija road is a pass mark, it will do what others in its league can do in a luxurious fashion.

less fuel usage 5cylinder for power and speed 8cylinder

There are many substitutes to every product but why keep searching when you have found a rear gem

Problem now is that, we saw only one Sensor, the mechanic said the 2001 Camry has only that sensor and it's not under the vehicle like you said. Let me snap the one we worked on and show you.

check the exhaust behind the front driver seat, there should be a catalyst well hidden there. Except your car is OBD1 complaint which I doubt. if it's not there then the exhaust has been kazeemized.

03 Toyota Camry. 2AZ Engine.

Bought a full tank, drove for 2 days ( 3-4hrs driving daily ) to my surprise, the fuel light came up. Bought another 2k fuel, after some hours the light came back on.

The Rewire checked the Plugs, he said its not wet that everything is normal and all. He even checked the fuel gauge at the back Sit. He said it’s perfect.

I’m still having the same issue, I took the car for a scan, it showing 02 sensors bank 1. I changed it (well! I bought the sensor in Gate, Ibadan), the check engine light back on with the same code.

What can I do to stop all these please and where can I get a good 02 sensor in Ibadan?. I wouldn’t mind if you can recommend a good expert for me here in Ibadan.

Thanks.

change the oxygen sensor and ensure the light goes off.

if that shit continues then

change air filter
sparkplugs have service life you can replace it's with original
clean throttle body
ensure exhaust isn't leaking

timifakay is in Ibadan contact him

OK...don't worry then. Let me not bother you like that. I gave out the one I had before because it was too big for my new space...it's something I need to see before buying. Cheers man, thank you.

I don't know if this meets your criteria, it's actually a microwave not griller. My brother also said there is a smaller size to this one too. That's a bedside fridge it's placed on to help you understand the size Sha.

By using the VIN, you can check to see if the car was stolen, wrecked, had any reported flood damage, issued a salvage-title, and whether there were any recalls on the vehicle.

By ordering a comprehensive vehicle history report from us, you can remove most of the guesswork to determine if a used car has been involved in accidents or had major repairs that may not make it worth your investment.

comprehensive report won't cover this guy as the aim isn't to hide the title but to fool Nigerian customs.

after car is purchased even if accidented they cut it and pack it to forestall scratch and dents. At Nigerian port it is declared as spare parts.

that particular Benz could amount to 3million or more as clearance fee while the dismantles one will have like 4 or 5 in a container and they would pay 1million. that's 200k per each vehicle grin

for customs add cheap cost of labour to it and special plates so no custom officer will stop the vehicle you have a smart evasion of custom fees grin

Nuray Thecar and co I need your input oh
I received a text from a number telling me to come to Ugbowo post office with some cash and Id photocopy (that's in Benin) to get my item.
However I just want to be sure if it's legit.
What do you think?

from your tracking info you snapshot the package has not arrived Nigeria yet. it is still in transit. if it has landed the tracking app will update instantly.

did you use China Post or dhl?

Not at all. The throttle is free of any obstruction.

My mechanic even washed the throttle and changed the plug.

since there is no error code am guessing a malfunction in the electronic throttle control.

let a technician give you a working diagnosis your pedal may be the issue since it's hard accelerator not unresponsive acceleration.

Good day all.
One of my car window is stuck, it doesn't go up or down, what could be cause and how much does it cost to fix it?

It's a factory known fault which occurs on Bugatti Veyron 2020 return it to the dealer since it is still under warranty

OK, thanks but is it advisable to pull it out and clean it using that carb or throttle cleaner dt usually come with a small straw?

I don't think anything positive will come out from doing that. you can wipe the clip and pins and fix back and see if that solves your issue.

but spraying carb cleaner directly on oxygen sensor does nothing

Chelseafan1:
Yes, thanks Nurey

You have an idea of how much the sensor costs now?

It's advice able you let the mechanic go get it so if it's not the right one he can always go change it himself. should cost between 5 to 10k. if you have a working one use a digital meter to check the reading so you can confirm same reading for a working 1

Hi house, scanned a 2001 Camry showing the check engine light.

These were the codes shown.

What do they mean please and how can they be rectified.

Thanks

PS : asking for a friend.

P0136

P1130

Your issue points to oxygen sensor faulty, I believe if you change the sensor it should erase both error codes. They work in tandem with each other.

The sensor you are looking for is after the catalyst under the vehicle.

Sharmeenator:
Thanks for the advise Nurey. I have heard from different sources that kia parts are very expensive and scarce to get. Isn't that true?

Kia and Hyundai engine are some how expensive because of the engine type, majorly those bought brand-new in Nigeria.

The 2006 to 2011 Kia Rio is a solid vehicle, parts are available and it's cheap like pure water as long as the specimen you buy has confirm engine. Also the engine isn't expensive.

If you are afraid of that I have only 2 other options you can buy and enjoy

2000-2005 Honda civic, this one no dey pull leg even if you enter pothole at 120km/h he no go degepo for road like accord.

2001 to 2006 Nissan Sentra with the QG18DE engine that's a 1.8L suffer head engine with timing chain that engine is sturdy, cheap and readily available. what's more the Sentra is the only compact Nissan amongst it's siblings that the body doesn't fall apart easily.

goodluck

Philadelphia:
Good morning,
A colleague of mine is viewing this thread as a guest and needs advise on what car to buy. He has a max budget of 2.5m and here are his options based on durability, maintenance and servicing, parts availability and AC.
2.5m is for toks.

2009 Lexus ES350 (toks)
the ES would be more common and parts would be easily available. It is fitted with a simple 2GR engine just like Camry V6, it's the easiest I would pick of all.

2008 Lexus IS300 (toks)
The IS300 was available in some regions I don't think it was available in North America only the 250 and 350. I am guessing a 300 is for Australia and may be RHD

2006 Lexus GS300 (toks)
Now I have always had a soft spot for the GS it's an elongated IS reliable and the engine for that year 3GR isn't too complicated neither is it expensive

2006 Mercedes C280 (toks)
its ok though

2008 Infiniti G35 (toks)
fastest of the lot not a complicated car too, not best with mpg, not a common site but extremely luxurious too.

Please give your candid advice as he is reading. He is a young man in his early 30's.
Thanks.

I have seen a small sized one before, I only looked at it once I think I saw griller inscribed on it though not sure. but it has metal stands in it like you see in fridges.
I am going to the place tomorrom I will confirm and snap a pic.

I have seen many cars online within the range of 400k to 600k (my small budget)

Cars in consideration includes but not limited to the following:

Nissan Maxima
dont buy

Nissan Altima
don't buy

Nissan Sunny
ok

Nissan Primera
except it's manual

Nissan Almera
body falls apart easily

Nissan Sentra
you won't regret buying it

Volkswagen Jetta
you are kidding right

Volkswagen Bora
you don't like yourself

Ford focus
ok too

Ford Taurus
how did you even pick this one

Ford Escape
longer throat dey kill pesin

Chevrolet Aveo
your cross will be heavier than Jesus own

Hyundai Accent
ok but your budget only covers old ones

Hyundai Sonata
if you like old school

Hyundai Elantra
your budget no fit buy confam 1

Skoda (I'm nor sure about this brand)
As long as it's the fabia with 1.4L engine wagon or salon is ok don't buy Octavia you are warned.

Audi A4 and A6
you don't want to live long abi?

Honda civic (is it true it's leg doesn't pull like other Honda brands?).
good to go

All within 2000 to 2006/2007

I will appreciate your kind help.

my best advice is to always buy a more recent car, the parts are always still available in brand new form there are some parts that shouldn't be bought as tokunbo.

since you are comfortable with manual I will advice you increase your budget to 700k, look for a 06 to 10 manual Kia Rio should fall within 500 to 600 and use the change to put it to taste.

The Rio leg works will still be solid and underbody won't have rust,u just do some bumper body and flash painting and it will last you a life time
