EDUECO:
Which Brands & Models Of Cars Has Rugged Engine And Its Engine Can Be Rebuilt?


Please,I need contributions from car users.

If they list all the brands and corresponding models you will grow old and die b4 U exhaust the list.

All cars engine can be rebuilt as long as you can get the spare part to do so. Steel engine easier than Aluminium. There is no rugged engine, maintenance is key.

Honda civic, Honda city, Honda fit, better to buy manual transmission.

Honda civic is Automatic

Honda city is CVT form of automatic

Please I am planning buying my first car this month or early next month.

My budget is 2M - 2.5M.

I am looking at buying either Lexus Es330 2006 Model or Toyota Corolla 2010 .


Please I need help as regard the fuel consumption, maintenance cost, Part accessibility etc. (Assuming I earned an average income of #50,000 per month )

You need a vehicle that is luxurious yet reserved I would rather buy a Honda civic 2010 the EX trim or if I can get a Acura CSX even better.

Corolla is far fuel efficient than ES but the luxury standout in the Lexus is not even available in 2020 Corolla.

Which one is more preferable Ml 350 2007 or rx 330 2006

RX 330 is easier to maintain and own than the ML350.

Hallenjay:

FX35 and Corolla in same sentence, guy you bad gan

Okay. Thanks.
No visible leaks.

No, it's not steaming. I do notice the one that's steaming when the weather is cold or it has Rained. Also, the steam is always white.

The morning start up smoking happens like this. The smoke is released the moment the engine comes on and goes away almost immediately. Doesn't last more than a second or two. And won't happen again until I start the next morning.

Also, the smoke is not noticeable from inside the car.

I have to stand behind and ask someone to start the car before I notice the smoke.

Standing behind car, tell someone to rev the engine to 3k rpm and observe if smoke is noticed.

If smoke is observed at throttle depression only, then you have an internal leakage

My car is 2007 Toyota corolla.

Since I got it in 2019, I have been using Mobil semi synthetic oil (5W 30). But the car burns oil and (burns around one liter after 2k miles) and emits little blue smoke when started in the morning. The smoke lasts a second or two. But when driving, it doesn't smoke.

Because of the little oil shortage, I changed to Mobil 20W 50 in February this year. Because I felt it would stop the oil burn. But that didn't happen.

Now I want to go back to Mobil semi synthetic (5W 30). But hope the Mobil 20W 50 I used only once from February to this time won't cause any problems?
.

You can revert back no issue.

Are you certain the early morning smoke isn't just steaming?

For reduction of oil it could be external leak, check your undercarriage and engine external seals for leakage.

You see how Kewtt owned up to his mistake and moved on? You should try that sometime. You occasionally post wrong info here, when people call you out you try to meander and wiggle out of taking responsibility.

Try to take responsibility when you get called out for posting incorrect info

You have a right to your opinion, I have accepted several times of making mistakes I am not a perfect being and I don't have all data off heart.

But I will take your advice and do better after all one can't have too many friends but too many enemies are bad

Great people, good morning. Please which is better for use here in Nigeria between brand new NISSAN XTRAIL, brand new HYUNDAI TUCSON and brand new HYUNDAIL SANTA FE? Boss Nurey and every other person who knows, please help. Thank you.

The Nissan should either be a Qashqi or Rogue. I would prefer Tucson then Santa Fe and lastly Rogue/Qashqi/Xtrail

Kewtt:
That's a 4 cylinder engine not V6. What year? People use Mercedes Benz on Uber but you need to understand the dynamics.

See your life c230 V6 is a 2.5L V6 engine, he didn't say c230 kompressor

FWD there is no motorable road a FWD equipped vehicle cannot plough and overcome in nigeria

Deeace01:
Hi fams,
Please as regards the two vehicles, which one is more economical between Nissan quest 2000model and odyssey 2000 model

Appreciates in anticipation

Nissan quest is better though the 3.3L V6 isn't as efficient as the odyssey engine.
The odyssey 2000 to 03 were plagued with transmission issues for the 4spd b4 it was upgraded to 5dpd. Odyssey also prone to rust and rear suspension k leg.

But the Honda shuttle/Odyssey or the Isuzu Oasis are better than the nissan and rugged

sucessdriven:
Thank you sir. I want to go for the later, i guess i'm just just looking for any reason to justify it, so far i've failed miserably, lolz.

Enjoy your money, you worked for it, that's enough justification

sucessdriven:
Do you know what errors they were prone to? Sorry for the jamb questions.

07-09 5speed trans 10 upwards 6 speed

Forged aluminum piston in 10 and better compression in engine though same 3.7L

Some other things like oil warning light, middle speaker issues etc. Facelift isn't only external some other additions were added I can't know all because I am not ASE certified

sucessdriven:
Thanks boss. In your opinion do you think the upgrades justifies the price difference. There's atleast about ~1.5m difference from the two.

Yes, factory errors In production fixed

freemayor4u:
Have read through which one do you now recommend

Both vehicles reliable, just pick the one you fancy most

Kokomo:
Boss Nurey, is Benz c230 v6 a rugged car, can it handle uber? Edakun epp mi

V6 not fuel friendly that's a 2.5L engine I believe. Not too good for uber

sucessdriven:
Kudos to all the wonderful beings here doling out knowledge. Please what is the difference between the 2007 mdx and the face lift 2010 models. Been looking at both vehicles and there is a significant price disparity between the two vehicles

Facelift better more upgrades and errors fixed in previous years

Honda CR-V is better than Camry.

I use a element 04 which is same as CRV and I use sienna 2000 which shares part with the Camry V6.

I don't want to talk too much but the Honda parts are way stronger than toyota. Interms of price, they are identical but the Honda parts rarely break but Toyota parts are cheap sha even brand new

Camry because most parts for that particular accord are mostly scrape now. You will get parts easily and still in good condition for the Camry but remember the Camry can be stolen whole because of lack of Factory fitted security

Buy but if you live in flooded area avoid the hybrid version.

4cylinder for fuel economy

The 06 V6 should be 3.3L V6 very good

delightchamp:
Thanks a lot sir. I will appreciate if you can give me few reasons even if it is two lines.

Kia and Hyundai have cornered the brand-new car market in Nigeria, they are also reliable and affordable to own and available on our streets.

Nissan is only common in the compact sedan class as brand-new mostly by companies looking to cut cost.

The Benz is okay though but don't know what year you looking at but a brand-new vehicle would work flawlessly for atleast 2 years before it would require a mechanic visit.

delightchamp:
Good morning. Please a friend is considering options between buying a brand new Hyundai Tucson Evolutiom and a Tokunbo Benz ML350 which has hit 70000km. He also said brand new Nissan Pathfinder is an option. Kindly help choose. In my opinion, I think a brand new car is always a better option leaving us with the Tucson vs Pathfinder but your comments will be well appreciated. Thank you.

Pick the brand-new Tucson

Stanleyallen17:
Is 2005 Mazda 3 Nigerian used a good buy.
For a friend who is a novice.

Mazda parts are a bit scarce especially recent models not used for public transport.

Been a while.i saw the sweet looking Mazda 3

Observer007:
Does using cruise control have any effect on battery charging? I mean while using CC would a car's alternator still deliver the appropriate voltage for the battery to attain optimal charging? If yes, how are autos programmed to make this happen?

Normally, when I accelerate I always feel the power exerted from my foot to the pedal and confirmed by the sound [roar] of the engine. But with CC none of that.

What's your take on this?, other auto enthusiasts.

CC is electronic control of the vehicle speed by the ECU your battery won't be affected. You will feel inertia of CC if you transverse a uphill and downhill section of an highway.

barnabas6:
May God bless all the car gurus who has dedicated their time to share one or more knowledge here. pls i need comparison between volvo s80 2.5 T 2005 and accord 2007. thanks

The 4cylinder accord has a better fuel economy than the 2.5T S80.

Safety wise Volvo Trump's all but the S80 is fitted with a multiplex can bus means no fiddling with the electronic.

Luxury wise S80 higher till the Accord trim EX-L becomes par with S80.

Play safe Accord wanna go all the way Volvo should be your choice

Try and scan the vehicle, all those Bluetooth scanner are around 5k, they are useful to help pinpoint the issue

AgentGoat:
What's the sign of this sensor's failure?

Engine crank but no start

Engine pulsing during acceleration.

Most mechanic would believe it is fuel pump or plugs but a scan would point you in the right direction but kazeem rarely starts with that

OfficialDJ:
your 1996 Nissan Maxima or which one

Well a 96 maxima will never somersault because it entered pothole, yes rims may bend, suspension may giveway, struts may deform but it would never somersault.

My advice is not to see Benz as a car made by gods if you attempt to tempt fate, you and your Benz would end up in ... After all the law of physics says what goes up must surely come down. ciao
