Nairaland pls help

if I were in your shoes I will

1. check the transmission dipstick and check the color if black with burnt smell transmission has kaput.

2. I will check underneath and around the vehicle for loose wires which could cause break in communication.

3. I will find someone to scan the transmission for me. if faulty then my diagnosis to the problem is solved.

4. if your Rx is 4wd I believe you should have been hearing a grinding noise if actually the rear axle is the cause.

chiefbuchiV12:
They're both wonderful cars, but the challenger width is easily comparable to a Ford E-series/GMC Savanna and Chevy Express, i think its even wider

The Challenger is a perfect definition of parlor room self contain

Ibk2020:
Pls any known issues with hyundai elantras 2007-2009?

None I can say but don't drive them in salty water like lekki, ikoyi and co flood, the body panels underneath begin to rust

billyfranc:
I like Honda Civic but my fear is the leg pulling. Which year is less prone to problems in addition to fuel economy, reliability, cheap and available parts? Also, is it advisable for a newbie to go for Nigerian used?

Honda Civic has never pulled leg even once since 1988 when the first models arrived Nigeria.

Any year you buy but leave hybrid with your budget 06 upwards then as for naija used ensure your mechanic inspects and do a test drive to your satisfaction

kkmny81:
Do you have any idea about the parts and maintenance for the camaro

No idea but ebay got you covered or you simply rely on radautoworks

tobasamuels:
What does this do exactly and is it safe for the engine? Any special circumstances?

You can refer me to threads if it will be too much work to explain.

Thanks.

That Acura TL 09-14 I believe requires premium fuel, not adding octane boosters to the fuel bought in naija could cause engine pinging, destroy the catalyst and it could lead to engine failure.

Ayoagbajesamuel:
Pls, help. my boss' 04 Highlander 4plugs keep on shots oil, we latter changed oil 2 one total that they are selling #18,000, but the shortage still persists

If shortage still persist after oil change contact your car doctor.

highlander 4 cylinder 2azfe engine is known to burn oil at high mileage especially when wrong engine oil is used.

Check for external leakage around the engine area and underneath the vehicle

Then check for internal leakage by putting gear in "P" or "N" then depress the accelerator and hold the tachometer at 3000rpm while another person stays at the exhaust and confirm if smoke is visible.

There are more Camaro on the street of Lagos than the Challenger.

The Challenger is one of the widest muscle car I have come across. As for parts availability I don't talk to the owners.

For fuel economy depends on what engine is available in the vehicle and how hard you ride emm

weyreypey:
He also asked about the Kia Cerato

kia = Hyundai
cerato = Elantra

billyfranc:
Please your advice is highly and urgently needed. I want to go for either Nigerian used Kia Cerrato or Hyundai Elentra (2012 and upwards) as Toyota corolla is unnecessarily expensive. Please how reliable, rugged and fuel economical are these cars? Also, are they cheap to maintain and their parts readily available?

Please experienced guys and gurus should assist me. This will be my first ride.

As much as possible I try to avoid any hyundai vehicle from 12 upwards, the engines are fragile and extremely expensive to replace.

look at honda Civic, Nissan Sentra, toyota Yaris

Elmuhammadi:
Hello Car Gurus, Happy Sunday to you all.

I have a Budget of 800-900k and i need Corolla, but my money no go buy normal Corolla.

I came accross corolla Bank type and is more cheaper than the Other Corolla

Pls why is it cheap, does it have any wahala that made it to be cheap?

Your reaponse will help...thanks

It is a very solid vehicle and never dies.

It's cheaper because of 2 reasons
1. it was bought brand-new in Nigeria and was sold extremely cheap to owners by their COY because it has finished it's reasonable service year.

2. They steal it's brain box very very easily so most people like to avoid that model design.

dicksonadams:
Guys a friend wants to buy Honda stream 2003, how durable is the car, are part easily available, how is the fuel economy. Any major issues that are common with this car?

Thanks guru cc boss Nurey, General Gazzuzz, weyrepey, boss timifakay, the man with the HeavenlyBang and the rest of the guru

God bless

shares part with civic, upto the engine. buy it

just incase

SistusTown:
The only price is that i will be the 1 to pay for clearing when it arrives.

shares part with ford vehicles the only thing there is part is a bit pricy but you are getting it almost free, I did go for it

Kelvin30286063:
True, not for people managing fuel. The fule economy is okay but won't compare it to those taxi drivers that buys 500 per day.

Do you use octane boosters when buying petrol?

naijadrivablog:
It is now sold from 2500(bulk price) or N3000 and above(retail)

I didn't want to comment though because I don't know much about scanners, I even intend buying a high scale one so I followed a recent thread here but the out come wasn't positive.

I am budgeting 30k for one probably would buy from aliexpress or just from local sellers when ready.

I have used the Bluetooth own even still at home but I bought mine from konga and it was a chinese clone, it pickup codes very well on engine, I can get my VIN number and details of my vehicle, my current rpm cause my sienna doesn't have tachometer and some other live data details.
The cd rom has android and mac software on it for your phone, I use torque pro.

One just need a small scanner to pick-up issues giving kazeem headache and you then guide him through on what to do.

Any issue pertaining to using high grade scanner go and pay a qualified technician to scan and fix, there are some DIY that is a no no for me can't come and kill myself when likes of Gazzuzz, radautos, oluwaseunla are available for a fee

nbolaji:
@ Nurey How would rate Infiniti G35 2005 model.

A Nigerian used

They are cheap but I don't like abused nissan/infiniti, electrical nightmare but kingreign would feel you in.

Kelvin30286063:
280hp. � My car is 305hp @ 6,300 rpm. I can't wait. Let's race at night, clear road. Fast and furious style lol

My brother horse power is just an icing on the cake, your ride is just a fancy word for concoction rice made with tomato paste no offence if you are bent on 305hp I assure you will be on the losers end.

Every avid car enthusiast knows of all the japanese Nissan/infiniti engines are ass whoppers.

Kelvin30286063:
Bro, I whip all butts when I drive. It's not about the car you drive. It's about the person behind the will and your understanding of your machine. I conquer the road whenever I want to. Corolla kini? Is that a car? Lol

you talk too much and that's because you never see better challenger.

when I am in Lagos, I will give you a good come to daddy whipping with my 280hp Nissan 350z manual transmission

for now enjoy your victory over Camry and Corolla

Kelvin30286063:
I don't like to talk to much about speed when assessing a car cuz I know speed kills but it has to get to a point where you just have to say how you feel about something that you think is exceptionally brilliant.

I bought my Acura TL 2012 about 7 months ago, even though I did a lot of research before finally dropping the money, I didn't expect that I'll enjoy this much peace of mind and joy when driving this machine.

Apart from all the amazing features that comes with TL 2012, The most fascinating to me is the sport mode coupled with the manual shift gears that is carefully placed in the steering area.

God that thing is bae! I don't even bother if a car is trying to drag race me anymore, I just let them go cuz I know if I want to, all I need to do is switch to sport mode and engage my manual gears!

I don't know how Acura did it and how they made it so perfect but they sure did it! I'm sure everybody that drives that car will testify to this too.

Now this brings me to the question I have. ARE THERE NEGATIVE EFFECTS TO USING THIS MANUAL GEARS?

If you also drive this car and you have more experience with it. I'd like to know what you think.

Those are paddle shifters nah, for quickly engaging the next gear or reducing your gear selection bypassing the TCM or manufacturer designed change time. Your TL is a 3.5L V6 with 3xxhp, I hope you weren't challenging the likes of Corolla and Camry?

Any way a G37 infiniti of same year would whip your butt over and over again.

Happiestman1:
You can see a Naija used 2005 Toyota Camry at 900-1million naira. Then Toyota Corolla ( Naija used ) goes for 1.5 - 2 million. WHY?

Demand and supply. The higher the demand of a product the higher the price.

Corolla is stronger than the camry

Corolla is more fuel efficient with it's engine than Camry

Corolla parts is cheaper to a degree than the camry.

Toyota is a perfect ride for uber than Camry in Nigeria.

in essence i hate Corolla but we have 2 in the family and I still love it

False information people I am hail and hearty. I don't know what weed the op smoked this month

How do you differentiate the Acura MDX 2008 tech pack from the other trims?

How do you identify one from the other?
I'm asking for knowledge purposes.
Thanks in advance.

I believe the screen shot answers your questions

Please can you throw more light?

it's a robber magnet whether at gun point or when parked unattended.
one of the most stolen cars in the world, Nigeria not left out

Davidifeoluwa:
Hi experts, I am about to buy Nissan primers 2005(space wagon)
I will like to hear from experts. And what I will need to watch out for if I buy it.

Simply put sirs, I want a nija review of the car.

Thanks all

NATS issue, ensure you replace the key with original battery.

The brain box is fragile, any hanky panky on the electrical can cause damage to it.

parts are pricy because of the focus market so ensure to maintain the body well.

Beware of those ones converted the wiring may not be done well

Slickleo:
Greetings all, I drive a 2009 Honda Civic r18 8th gen I notice all my engine oil changes with filter dat d 4 ltrs don't gauge up to full on dipstick jst slight above middle.
PL is it normal as service manual calls for 4ltrs


@ Gazzuzz, radautoworks, blackbishop, nurey and other gurus

your oil guage should be between the lower and upper mark, but closer to the upper mark than the lower mark. The right reading can only be gotten when engine is cold
