There are lots of complete engine with all accessories and transmission fittings in Ladipo sir.

What I know is called complete engine sef is engine plus all accessories untampered with including transmission. Maybe because of inflation nah why those things were removed. Because b4 if engine only is 150 to 200k, complete is sold for 500plus.

No tokunbo toyota engine sold in Nigeria will come with the bolded

How many engines have you imported before?

Timblogga:
Hi all, please I saw a 2013 Camry SE V6 but the only issue is that the car has a faulty ABS, and I was told by the seller that faulty ABS affects the transmission system.

I can buy it and install a new sensor, but please I want to know if it’s a good buy, or does it mean the gearbox would have suffered a damage as well?

ABS sensor having fault wont cause erratic transmission switch.

The transmission is faulty fixing the ABS won't make the transmission suddenly work fine. Your transmission should be U660 ensure you know the price b4 U commit

Buy Honda, una go say no, nah toyota reliable pass las las una go dey change engine like children diapers.

The Bill may not be too exorbitant as complete engine comes with other standard accessories like compressor, alternator, starter etc. If the link is genuine then you will enjoy that japanese engine, you can now sell the extra parts to gain back ur initial capital.

You can't tow a 4WD vehicle for 100s of miles, you will spoil the transmission and the rear axle. Use a flat bed instead.

Abuja to Lagos should cost about 200 to 300k depending on company ptofessionalism.

Silentgroper:
I heard they refer to the engine and the amount of plugs connected to it..

so a v6 engined car has 6plugs connected to it like 3 on the left and 3 on the right, right??



secondly do they determine how fast a car can go ??

Heard v12 cars are insanely fast . for example your Lamborghinis and all..

V6 etc is about cylinders not plugs per se because benz has a V6 engine and it uses 12plugs, Honda city with the idsi engine is a 4 cylinder engine with 8 plugs. But generally a 4cylinder should have 4 plugs, 6 cylinder 6 plugs only that diesel engines don't have plugs.
So a 6 cylinder diesel engine has zero plugs

Speed is not only about no of plugs sha, many other things play a role in determining speed but generally a Camry or Accord 6 plugs would be faster than 4 plugs provided other things remain constant

mabeni:
yes. He did

If you are sure and he is certain form probing the brainbox the key was seen, then time to work on the PCM because if the brainbox was faulty it won't respond to a scanner

mabeni:
What could be my car problem?
I recently replaced my car brainbox but the key icon on the dashboard doesn't go off and car doesn't start but according to the guy who programmed the BRAINBOX, it's perfectly programmed but he's confused why the key icon on the dashboard keeps flashing.


We scanned it and got code p0606.
Car is Honda civic 2009

The code points at Power control module PCM but also did the programmer program the key to the car? As you have changed brainbox I am just guessing he should have also added the key to enable the vehicle start.

If the key is chiped and not added no way that car will start.

olumzzz:
I wouldn't stoop so low to trade words with you.
You've just proven to know nothing about the hyundai transmissions.
Bye sir.

You see why I no dey carry car enter big shops with high end instruments and fancy accent technicians.

If you dig deep, that guy could be working for a certified dealership

Wizdeen:
@Heavenlybang @Nurey good day bosses, I need your opinion on this car if it's a good buy and what to look out for before I look for a mechanic to assist me inspect it

Honda products are good.

What to look out for is mainly transmission, if the owner cuts corner by not using genuine honda DW1 the transmission will fail.

Other issues can be managed, engine is bullet proof.

Carry mechanic and scanner go inspect am

jnrcess:
Please can anyone tell me what ATF oil Hyundai Elantra 2015 uses? This is my first car and I have no idea about these things. I bought the car in February and the former mechanic told me the ATF oil hasn't been changed in over 2 years.

P.S I reside in Calabar, and we don't have a Hyundai or Kai service center here.

Hyundai Genuine ATF SP-IV is the recommended anything else you are on your own

murshid09:
Ok

Your engine is M104 inline 6cylinder engine. Meaning what you have there is not a V6 but an i6 engine. 6 cylinders arranged in a straight line wanna know more, research M104

Bullfallo:
why you de reason like this. Battery is cost doesn't mean I can't afford it.

I prefer jump starter than buying new battery at this time.

I just ordered battery charger and jump starter device. The price is more than getting a new battery. I plan to change the car in a year time.

The guy just pick my call and said he will come to my house when another battery. I was only telling him I need a relable battery that can hold charged.

Sorry bro, I was just advising as I deem fit. No vex but why buy battery charger and jump starter when a brandnew battery is cheaper and would solve your problem? Abi you wan dey do battery charger work as side hustle?

Bullfallo:
chai. Battery is too expensive now oh.

Sell the car and buy another with manual transmission.

So when battery is bad and you can't afford it, park on a slope then you can utilize "push to start" to start vehicle anytime you need to.

You have been scammed. Go and buy brand new battery

They are sourced from Asian countries China, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan etc.

You source locally there, dismember dem to a degree and load into container. I believe you are talking about those haojue lady bikes.

Those used as Okada business are mainly bought brandnew also containerized or you buy from the Authorized dealership in Nigeria Boulos suzuki or so.

Bush2013:
Very healthy one externally and internally lol

Yes, just buy a 2006 ES330, remove the second 3, buy 5 and glue it there you have a ES350 nobody would be the wiser.

You can't get tokunbo ES350 for that price.

Funny how most people think a cat delete would greatly affect fuel economy.
I've done straight pipe on a car and even took out it's muffler just for experiment sake and realized it doesn't significantly affect fuel economy (if there was any difference at all).
The only thing it did was making me drive spiritedly because of the Joy I was getting from exhaust note; and yeah it was a manual transmission which was more fun to drive with rev matching and gear change.

When CAT is deleted and no spacer provision for the oxygen sensor attached, then fuel economy would be affected negatively

TPound:
With that budget?
Oga nurey...ma pa mi na

Tell him what he can purchase with the budget

Also tell him how much balance remain

donald1010:
Car gurus in the house, I'm about to buy one of these cars, can someone please help me in explaining which is more fuel economical, easy to maintain and all...... Or which vehicle would you advice I buy instead? I'm not really a fan of Toyota and Honda.. I fear Honda because of the leg issue they usually have..

Thanks

Hyundai sonata with the GDI engines of that year had engines issues from 2011 to 2014 I did say strike that one out. Except you get china variant or Asian with non GDI which is far from reality

VW passat nah engine be the trouble in the sense that those engines were highly intolerant to cheap oil and low quality petrol. The fuel imported in Nigeria is of low quality, the engine may not survive more than 2years coupled with the fact that technical know how are scarce and the parts are expensive.

Mazda CX9 is just a ford edge in disguise, it's the most sane choice but the engine has an inbuilt water pump that can fail without prior notification and gbam Ladipo boys don win your jackpot

If those three are your main choice, I will pick the mazda CX9 since ford edge is very popular on road, but the parts are scarce, when available very expensive.

Other notable cars in the class of your choice
2013 upwards Accord no leg issues
Acura TL, RL
Hyundai.Azera V6 engine

For the mazda class
Mitsubishi Outlander and ASX
Hyundai IX35, TUCSON, Santafe
Kia Sportage
Nissan KICKS, JUKE, Qashqai

Seems you hate common cars like lexus, toyota and benz.

Paulcryptocash:
So I am about to get 2012 corolla. The seller said the only fault is the electricals, I don't even know what that means. I need Advice pls @nurey and others

Could mean alot of things, only physical inspection coupled with asking price would determine

NBAjunior:
You must out of your senses bro

Deal with him at your own peril

9icetoo:
You are not a mechanic. You have not repaired a single freaking car in your sojourn on earth. He is talking from experience. You are speaking from hearsay gleaned from a few foreign blogs. The whack Nigerian petrol with very low detergents will wreck that "2019" GDI in no time.

Rest.

Werey which 2019 GDI?

DukeNija:
How can you compare the prices of accord earth dreams engine to GDI engine? GDI even the older model is more expensive. Please be calming down.

i am not comparing per say, when was the engine revealed compared to competition. Hyundai and Kia engines have always been expensive but doesnt mean person should drive those cars.

kingreign:
Dey play, e get GDI issues too. Engine is over 2m now in Abuja.

i am talking about the 2015 to 2019 hynudai sonata, it doesnt have the issues the 2010 to 2014 model years had. If you think the engine is expensive how much is accord earth dreams and toyota XV70 engines

Tomatoes are currently expensive, started before the ramadan fasting began. North is the predominant supplier and as fasting don start, productivity will reduce leading to demand exceeding supply.
