Been using mine since 2014.never changed the belt but if you have the cash for original equipment manufacturer belt please do to avoid been stranded. The major reason why your mechanic is insisting is due to the fact that most belts are fake and coupling to manufacturer spec may not be close so belt will be snapping every few months. But with the right belt and good technician another 10years stress free loading |

Seunbukola187: Good evening bosses. I greet you all. Please I have this experience on my Honda civic 2003 it takes about 3 cranks in the morning before the engine comes up, while driving out that same morning, it stalls about 2 or 3 times and once on the highway the car is as smooth as if it wasn't same car I drove out from my compound. No check engine light. Please help sirs.
Cc Gazzuzz Nurey Kingreign
I'll be here to read from you all.
Thanks If engine takes three cranks to start and after starting the RPM is dancing azonto and you have to stable the car by depressing your throttle. Then it's possible you have a very dirty throttle body and dusty air filter. Get carburator cleaner to clean the throttle body and change the engine air filter |

blunt2dcore: Thanks for your response. Rewire has not done anything like that, but thermostat removed and he advised AC should always be on to keep d fan running. However, I will tell them to check the cooling system critically first. When you deviate from the norm, it's abnormal. Using AC so fan can always blow is abnormal fix whatever issue you experience if the available hands are overpowered look for better qualified technician |

blunt2dcore: My 2004 model toyota rav4 is overheating, but according to my auto-mechanic, he said my engine is weak and due for change. The engine has worked for about 4years, but from my observation no blue /black smoke emissions coming out from the exhaust. There is no sign of leakage from the radiator, so he advised the thermostat should be removed and the AC to be always switched on , but the overheating issues still persists after driving a lomg distance. In the light of this, i need advice from the gurus on temporary measures to fix this issues at least get the engine running for some months b4 i can hussle cash for an engine change. ... Cooling system ok No leak noticed of coolant No internal leak or external leak. Diagnosis because fan was run direct, it stopped working due to burnt out relay reworked by rewire. If fan stop working engine go overheat you can't escape it. If fan is blowing in wrong direction, engine too would overheat. If radiator is blocked free flow of coolant is inhibited so overheating occurs. These are things you should check yourself very easy. The fan fuse could even cut and the solution to your issue could just be you buying 100naira fuse and fix. If you don't learn more about your car, mechanic go chop u left rewire go chop you right, panelbeater go chop u up and gurus go chop u down  |

ablesolomo: Please house my Nissan Almera Tino is misbehaving, not accelerating well after I changed my fuel pump, the check engine light remain On, if i firstly start the in the morning, it will jerk and switched off at least two times before starting. Then my Rewire suggested me to unplug this green plug in the picture. Please gurus in the what is function of the plug? Is okay to unplug it. Acceleration is still sluggish Please what can I do The sensor you unplugged is not your issue. Normally I would start by scanning the vehicle and fixing whatever error generated. For the sluggish movement and start issue I am suspecting your throttle body might be dirty or clogged. Clean it and dust the engine air filter. Next the fuel pump might be the wrong type and or the fuel pump filter is blocked, you should have changed the complete fuel pump assembly. The CVT too would cause sluggish acceleration but issues with transmission should easily be known as tachometer would rise without commensurate movement and change to hear. But above all better to scan car first to avoid trail and error |

Please an advice on between buying a Nissan Xtrail and Infiniti Fx35 they both look good and affordable compare to other SUVs I find in the market. I really need someone with experience to advice me on which to go for considering Durability, cost of maintanance etc. I would really appreciate your sincere advice. Thanks Nigerian used, I will buy an xtrail than a FX35 Nissan xtrail is far cheaper to maintain than the FX35 interms of parts, technician and fueling. I don't expect someone who has been in both cars to be asking such question as xtrail is low budget Nissan sedans in CUV form the fx35 is a luxurious sports CUV with one of the best exhaust note on the streets. |

@Gazzuzz and other auto gurus, please help me make a good choice here.
CR-V because it is popular tested and trusted. Easy to come by the parts and technician.
The Ford isn't bad but check well for rust 1st after that if good to go, you can buy if that's what catches your fancy.
I'm most open to other suggestions different from the two mentioned. Thank you |

Car Talk › Re: What's The Best Durable Car To Buy by nurey(m): 6:54pm On Dec 30, 2020 |
francawilson: Hi Everyone,
Please i need recommendations for a solid car. I am currently driving a 2018 Mitsubishi outlander which I've had for 2 years now. A friend of mine who's into auto dealership shipped it for me from the US. Said it had good fuel economy, double back sitter, blah, blah blah. The car is okay but doesn't have the features I want so I want to give the car to my mum & get a new car.
I like keyless cars or cars u can start with a remote; cars u can operate the boot with a key or button (my Mitshibushi doesn't have that). I like cars that lock automatically on matching the brake (my Mitshibushi doesn't have that feature too). Leather seat trips me (my Mitshibushi doesn't have leather seat). I love Cars with good sound system & GPS; back 360 degree camera; blindspot & close range sensor. I hate going to the Mechanic so I won't like to own a car that always have electrical, mechanical or leg problems. Since I got this Mitsubishi, I've only changed oil & 2 front tyres so far.
PS: B4 u start questioning my source of income;I must tell u that some of us women are doing well for ourselves & are real legit hustlers, joined with favor from God our creator. I have a govt job, do contracts & also own a successful business. I started a real estate company sometime in 2018 (don't ask me how) but this is our best year so far amiss COVID. I'd like a more presentable & durable car cos I drive around alot with prospective clients & families.
Pls don't refer me to range rover, Bently, Ferrari or G-wagon. I'm not a celebrity. I labour so hard for my money but also like good things.
Warning: Please no useless comments. If u have nothing to contribute, read & pass. This question is not for kids on NL. I have handled a GX460, it has almost all the features you have except remote control start or push to start button. I have never driven or seen a car that locks automatically when break is depressed but my sister's 06 Corolla locks all doors when you switch gear to drive and opens all door when you switch gear to P. If the GX is too big you can try a Lexus RX your budget would determine the year. |
