Kettlecorn:
On the contrary, the twin turbo 2.7l is one of the quickest in the lineup and tows up to 9,000lbs with a robust 10 speed automatic. It is faster than the 5 liter v8 and even the 6.7l diesel. But then, you can't cheat physics. Longevity is always a question mark for a souped up small engine. Top notch maintenance is a key factor in how long the engine will last.

I am not talking about horse power or acceleration I am talking about torque. The engine may be adequate as it's still new but for that category of vehicle I will stick to a NA V6 engine or a diesel

To the experts in the house, I would appreciate a comparison between a 2007 Ford Edge and a 2001-2003 BMW x5
I need your expert advice in terms of:
1. Maintenance
2. Fuel Economy
3. Availability of Parts
4. Durability/Reliability/Ruggedness
5. Challenges
Alternatively, I heard the Nissan Xterra and Honda Pilot are really good too, so you can include them in the comparison, or make other suggestions based on your experience.

PS: This is majorly a research-based equity, so, if it's not too much to stress, I would appreciate a detailed analysis/comparison like nurey and the other experts used to give at the beginning of this thread.

The BMW X5 is a full size SUV with a 3.0L V6 and a 4.4L V8

The Edge is a CUV with a 2.0L i4 turbo engine and a 3.5L V6

Maintenance I did give it to the ford for it is more popular than BMW but the parts of the X5 would probably be cheaper. Ford parts are a bit on the high side.

Fuel economy the ford wins here even the 3.5L V6 is more efficient than the 3.0L V6

Rugged both are okay sha the thing is that BMW is seen as a premium brand for wealthy people because of the believe that parts are expensive and it breaks down easily.

For the ford be weary of the 2.0L turbo engine, those engine don't like bad oil you have to use the right one.

The X5 3.0L V6 seems a bit underpowered for the vehicle people using the V8 have praised the vehicle.

For the year 03 X5 vs 07 Edge I believe I will pick a more recent model year which is quite popular on road than the X5

Car Talk › Re: Used Bought Brand New Cars Vs Tokunbo Cars.Which Is Better ? by nurey(m): 6:19pm On Jan 21, 2021

New cars they service with 20W50 and fake oil filter. Dealerships in naija are all about cost cutting.

The only advantage bought new in naija mostly have is the mileage thing. Very low mileage after several years meaning reduced wear and tear if maintenance was above average.

Buying a used car should be more about it maintenance not where it comes from. Just do a comprehensive inspection and buy if it passes whether naija used or tokunbo

Good day, after physical inspection by a mechanic, no issue was discovered. He however suggested that I replace the throttle body. Does this sound like a possible solution? Car drives well asides from the fluctuating RPM.

Yes from the mechanic side of view grin

. Not all car solutions can be diagnosed online, if the throttle body is bad I believe it should throw a code but what do I know.

What I mean by delay is that it slow a bit down (as in clutching) before transmitting

Online diagnosis not available, get a qualified technician to test drive and give you working diagnosis

Thanks for your response. I have scanned and got no error code. Can you explain this better “drive by wire or drive by cable”

In lay man's term
Drive by cable no sensor just controlled by cable, easy for mechanics to fiddle with, rarely gives issues.

Drive by wire, touch the wrong thing and issues starts computer controlled.

Nothing is wrong with the D4D engine it is not a common engine in toyota around our parts because it's more of European origin and we import few stuffs from Europe. buy normal 2.0L engine or 2.4L engine and avoid D4D the tech is not understood by most technician

So which will you advice out of the 3?

Which is Dana spec

I will endorse civic first, practical rugged and easy to use.

Accord next though with the shaft thing she can avoid the accord as a first time car owner and as a lady.

The Rio is perfect just like the civic but with the nonsense temp gauge of dana spec (those bought brand-new in Nigeria) the vehicle would have overheat causing engine damage before the car will warn you. If she can get tokunbo from US with normal temp gauge then Rio it is.

Please fellow Nairalanders, my car (sienna 2003 American model) all of a sudden started delaying while transmitting from gear one to gear two.
What might be the cause?

I am afraid of taking it to the mechanic without having the prior knowledge of the cause due to the unnecessary damages they have caused me before.
Thanks for your meaningful input.

Check if the oil is guaged by checking the dip stick

If oil is guaged and not black, drain, wash filter and refill transmission with 4L of dextron 3 but I would prefer you buy total mvlv transmission fluid very expensive 3500 for a litre but very ok.

After that if rpm reaches 4 or 5 before switching to next gear, sorry to say better to buy a replacement transmission.

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

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.

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

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

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 grin

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
