Car Talk › Re: Does Hybrid Cars Use Different 3MZ Engine? Please I Need Help by nurey(m): 11:44am On Mar 30, 2022 |
From what I gathered, they are similar but hybrid has another electric power attached to the 3mz
Also the 3mz in the hybrids have reduced power meaning something is different between it and regular non hybrid vehicles using 3mz |

Idaytesj29: The one wey you add na problem ooo. Wait, the 3.3 L engine, when it cuts belt, does it bend the engine valves ? Yes, that's why you have to do its timely maintenance as at when due not managing things.
For the 3.5L, is it not better to just change the fan to direct, buy bigger radiator and if possible bigger fan? Your response pls Do not attempt to do so, always be observant of the temp gauge when it is exceeding the optimum mark, stop and check what's wrong |

Idaytesj29: Thanks for educating me on this. I am starting my business this year. Which is a transport business Lagos to Abuja. I discover that Sienna is the most popular on this route after the Toyota Hiace Buses.
I have started speaking to some willing Car dealers who may be interested in Hire Purchase deals. I usually tell them I want Sienna XLE 4 wheel drive 2007 to 10 without really knowing the details of the XLE. Thats why I was quick to ask you.
Thanks once again. Tell them you want a sienna from 2004 to 2010 LE or CE with 8 seatings. The 8 seater has the 3rd seat standard while others are majorly 7 seater. Stay away from AWD variant you don't need it XLE, limited and touring would be very expensive because of offering. LE should be better as it would have factory leather and roof rack. CE may not have roof rack, it may be non factory tint so no need for tint permit but it mostly.has the 8 seater option and no power button for the sliding doors. For a transporter to balance functionality with price, I would say focus on the LE trim. If I was a transporter I would only buy a sienna with 3.3 engine and manage myself with timing belt change intervals. The 3.5 is all aluminum over heating can destroy it, it is fitted with timing chain a plus for it but then if the rubber hose oil cooler hasn't been changed and it fails on motion that one nah village pipu things  |

chiefbuchiV12: Thought the 3.5l engine has a better fuel economy than the the 3.3l Oha gazzuzz abeg come shed not light For the fuel economy seems its model dependent not same across board. Users say 3.3 is more fuel efficient in sienna than 3.5 while 3.5 is more efficient in lexus than 3.3 |

Idaytesj29: @Nurey boss, what do you mean by "Run Flat Tyre"?
I am considering the XLE trim of the vehicle, is it the same as AWD? Run flat tyres are tyres that can still be used after they are deflated, they can still move a considerable amount of distance before you stop and have them fixed. They are not so great here in naija seemsnthey can't be fixed when spoilt. XLE trim is extra luxurious edition just a trim meaning the vehicle in question is well loaded with luxurious offerings. AWD is all wheel drive meaning vehicle has a back axle which assist the front wheels when vehicle loses traction or when the two front wheels a stucked. |

adaenwa: Please I need advice on these two brands. 2006 Volkswagen Jetta 1.6L ,
2004 Honda Accord 4 cylinder.
They are both Naija used. Please which of the 2 cars is reliable. I don't always advice naija used vw products because they don't take abuse and nigerians rarely maintain their cars. Now the accord is reliable the only downside is the transmission I would have preferred you pick a 2005 upwards instead if you can. Then the shaft issues which a new commer might not be used to. The Jetta I know is reliable in all aspect if it is the American version not the European one that is Bora which sometimes is called jetta too. The VW parts are more expensive but they always last and are more original. The jetta has many sensors attached to different parts. I would advise you pick the accord but make it a 2005 upwards if you can or inspect the 2004, ensure there is no hidden gear fault and change transmission oil immediately you buy it, then change subsequently every year to avoid transmission wahala |

cdoffx: Hello car gurus, so I have been wondering for some time now. The 2.4L engine in Honda Accord 03-05 (EOD) is almost the same with the one in Accord 08-12(Evil spirit). In fact I can't spot the difference aside th throttle of 2008 upward being drive by wire (what our mechanics call turtless).
So my question is can the EOD engine be installed in an Evil spirit Accord? Has anyone done that before? Thanks
@gazzuz @nurey KA24 engine reach upto 10 variants and all can't work for each other, they have minor differences though some are interchangeable but the two years you are comparing can't be interchaged. |

Car Talk › Re: Please How Much Would This Car Worth?? by nurey(m): 4:36pm On Mar 24, 2022 |
brainycaleb: I am a total noob in cars, why is it not advisable to use a 2.7turbo v6 engine for transportation? 1. It's an Audi, not very top in the reliability index 2. The engine has turbo, turbo engines need optimum maintenance meaning more expensive oil and some other timely maintenance to avoid unforeseen breakdown 3. The engine is a performance oriented one, not good on fuel economy 4. It's a 4 wheel drive vehicle too would be a bit heavier than a FWD and also 4wd has it's own maintenance and most 4wd variant of a vehicle has more pricey parts. |

brainycaleb: This is an audi a6 allroad 2.7t 2001 model, Switzerland used. It was registered in Nigeria but not used whatsoever, lying dormant because the owner is away in Switzerland. I'd want to use it for transportation and the owner says because we are related, I'd only pay her her cost price i.e 4200 Swiss franc and 450,000 used in clearing and forwarding, which would amount to almost 2.5 million.
Dear auto gurus, how much do you think the machine is worth?
Edit: I had to take down the photos and edit the plate number, It might be offensive for most people and for anonymousity You want to use a 2.7 turbo V6 engine vehicle for transportation, apart from the outrageous price the vehicle is going for, this particular engine is like pouring petrol to quench a wild fire. Flee from the deal |

In other words, the mechanic converted the lexus to toyota Harrier, the same 4 speed auto for all 3 engine variants, the only thing is how the brainbox was able to work well if that truly is a lexus RX300 from factory |
