Any effects on the engine, performance and fuel economy?

No effect on the engine as the defouler would take care of any error the oxygen sensor bolted along the catalyst would pickup.

what's more there should be a slight improvement on fuel efficiency and take off of the vehicle, but you will be releasing harmful heavy metals into the atmosphere

proclinician:
If absence of catalytic converter caused poor fuel economy, will this defouler remedy it. I mean this is the major reason why people are keen on replacing the CC so will an imitator do the same job of improving gas milage?

The job of the catalyst is to turn harmful gases during combustion into environment friendly ones.

Once you use the defouler as instructed, you are good to go

Wilson5183:
Please who knows the prize range of Honda crv catalyst and how can someone identify a good catalyst.

Buy a defouler, take it to a panel beater, he will remove the spoilt catalyst and weld a straight pipe then fix the defouler and then bolt the oxygen sensor on the defouler and maggic, the catalyst efficiency below threshold error is gone.

Haulage, Yes.

Its a petrol engine.

For the only petrol engine available which is a 2.0L the user agreed mpg is 19.x which is approximately 13L/100km when used as a coach.

Coupled with our fuel quality, driving pattern, engine age and depending on cargo you are hauling, you will burn more than that

Kingdemu:
It takes between 10-12 litres to cover 100km in a J5. So you can calculate.

did you factory in that he would be using the vehicle for hauling cargo, heavy ones at that.

did you also factor in whether it is diesel or petrol engine?

Novemberaura:
thanks for the input.

I'm a first timer so aside it is deeply low on second hand resale value I can't understand what you mean


but I'd suppose you'll recommend or condem it for Uber use

thanks baba

I will prefer you buy a Nissan Sentra instead of that particular Almera

Novemberaura:
how durable is Nissan Almera 2012

what are the pros and cons

I don't know much about this Almera though but I have always had fear for the ride because the engine is of Renault origin.

Also the resale value is extremely shitty and it is fitted with CVT or Automatic but that depends on the market it came from. Mostly bought brand new in Nigeria.

I have seen the bluebird syphlys variant and I can say the outward appearance is the most well packaged compact vehicle I have seen

eeewise:
Please I want to buy either camry 2012 or lexus rx330
Any suggestions

if you need sedan, fuel economy and your route have good roads, buy the Camry.

If your route roads are bad RX besides the RX still has luxury accessories and interior finish and we'll furnished than the camry even though there is disparity in years

oride:
It's not underpowered. The vehicle is just heavy.

I am saying the i6 seems underpowered sometimes but the V8, that's got the right stuff.

oride:
Never said it was. Please read my submissions again. I mentioned three engines and some were turbo charged (N55).

I know, am saying the M54 in the X5 is NA no turbo, no hanky panky. just plain lovely engine though seems a bit underpowered for all that weight

oride:
You are the first person I have read (seen) say this.

we fear what we don't understand.

oride:
The N54, N55 and M54 are all in line 6 I believe. Just that some have turbos others have not.

The M54 in the X5 had no turbo, it's plain NA and feels underpowered for the vehicle. There is no big deal in BMW that everyone just dey fear, I did gladly buy 1 if I can afford it. We know some models are a plague to be avoided but definitely not a first gen X5

oride:
I agree. People still drive the 04/05 Range Rover too. Doesn't change the fact that it's terribly unreliable.

And Op, both the X5 and the Range Rover share the same power train. Go figure.

the X5 of that year is not a piece of crap, it is a really good vehicle.

HeavenlyBang:
Stop recommending nonsense.

There's absolutely nothing underpowered about the N54 or N55. They're massively underrated at 300 HP and actually make about 340 HP.

funny guy read before you respond. the 3.0L i6 is M54

oride:
If he wants to live a long and peaceful life, the V8 should be avoided.
A BMW is a complex car, a 15 year old BMW is just not it.

There are people still using extremely old BMW and doing fine. Nothing complex in a X5 that a technician who knows his onions can't fix

AreahCode:
Hello,how about bmw x5

An excellent choice though rare to come by and needs a really good technician to handle it, Parts aren't that expensive though.

3.0L i6 may be underpowered but the 4.4L V8 na baba Nla for highway

Mottomata:
How about the Liberty Jeep? It's also an off-road vehicle.

What do you think?

As you have been told just to add salt to the soup, liberty jeep is for the fainthearted. The 3.7L engine sef

Phobos19:
Good evening house,
Please, what are the pros and cons of 2.4L 4-cylinderToyota Camry 2007

in summary it's a good car, 07 is prone to gear fault but ensure you change the fluid regularly I believe it should be type T-IV or toyota WS. Use full synthetic fluid from reputable manufacturer as the 4cylinder 2.4 is prone to engine burn.

The major thing is that it is a robbers magnet

AreahCode:
Fj cruiser. Nice but its too cost both toks amd registered

4runner = fj cruiser= Lexus GX series = land cruiser prado. They are rice but depends on how you want your rice, white rice, coconut rice, fried rice or jollof rice. The choice is yours

walsa:
please I need help between this two Ford explorer sport Trac 2008 and Nissan frontier 2009 I need something for off-road and not too bogus ...if you have something similar to this you can also suggest too thanks all.....

Any one you choose would serve you well. for the 4.0L V6 frontier ensure to check if it has undergone the radiator bypass.

interns of part price and availability the frontier tops, though the Ford parts you get will always be original and last

FEGNO:
I think you have it all mixed up. A v12 can never have a lower mpg than a v8

30mpg is better than 20mpg which is better than 10mpg

for L/100km
5L/100km is better than 8L/100km which is better than 12L/100km etc

HeavenlyBang:
Smh, a one-off car with only five units made. No need for argument, the G63 wasn't sold with a V12.

I didn't know it was a one off, I don't know everything about cars I just know the new G-wagon after we started calling it G wagon had a G63 fitted with V12.

but correction taken

HeavenlyBang:
This is entirely false. No G63 comes with a V12. In fact, both the G550 and G63 currently use the same 4.0TT with different tweaks.

The only current Mercedes cars with a V12 carry the 65 badge.

sorry my brother, yes there was G wagon G63 with a 6.0 V12 before it was moved to G65 though the 2014 G63 never got a V12 engine

KELECHI02:
car gurus, please between Mercedes G63 AMG and G550 which consumes fuel the most?



note:: I am aware that the both cars gulp fuel like 2moro no dey...I only want to know which is greater than which....thanks alot

Both cars don't gulp fuel, but for their size and weight they are good in fuel economy for those categories.

G550 is fitted with a V8

G63 is fitted with V12

generally the V12 should have a lesser mpg than V8 due to torgue and power expected from the engine.

AreahCode:
Ml 350 do u mean old model from 200 to 2005 or new model from 06. My friend said i shpuld run from benz that its not good for off roads

first generation 199x to 05 and

2nd gen 06 upwards

your friend doesn't know what he is saying about benz

AreahCode:
Ok ive been thinking about honda pilot suv 2006 silver v6,the only problem is that its too big ans long

Then you will probably make due with CUV

Mitsubishi outlander 4WD

Highlander 4WD

An ML350 too isn't bad

But you can settle for the 4runner if you are okay with the shape

AreahCode:
You mean 4runner v6 is a no go area touareg is also a problematic car. Is it a defect from manufacturer.. or just general assumption.
So what suv is best

The 1gr engine is 1million plus to replace, you can buy a 4runner but handle the engine with care by using recommended fluids and change as at when due.

The tuareg is a good offroader, as a basic rule in Nigeria not always good to use luxurious vehicles for severe offroading parts are expensive, technician are hard to come by off-road stresses undercarriage parts. VW and Audi require expert technician I won't go buy them for severe offroad when I can afford better and more reliable japanese options with identical interior fittings.

Honda pilot Touring edition

Mitsubishi Pajero GLX

If you want to see RX300 carrying 1 ton of foreign rice, nah them very dangerous and no mercy smugglers

AreahCode:
Hi everyone on here,rainy season has messed up all parts of where i reside. I mean if you miss a left pot hole,you will meet one in the middle of right. Whats the best suv to get for bad roads here in nigeria. I've been thinking about a volkswagen touareg 2007 model. Is it a good choice of suv,built specifically for off roads. What are the pros and cons of a v6 volkswagen touareg? Or any better option... i love the 4runner,but its too long .

The toureg is a solid car, very luxurious for it's class. The diesel engine is one of the best and the air suspension is to die for.

VW and Audi engines requires premium fluid at all times and when the vehicle breAks down, you need a qualified technician with high-end scan tool to diagnose the vehicle.

I will advise the 4runner but with V8 engine as the v6 engine if needs replacing is quite expensive
