He never said his coolant is boiling.

sit this one out, nobody dey follow you drag anything

You pay them poorly and still task them with guiding money like a tale of telling a rat to secure fried fish.

They want to get rich quick but they were caught hands down in the cookie jar

remi4ever:
1. Water

2. Just a little, i had to top it yesterday when I got back. I'll study it again today to see if it shorts.

lets start from the easiest.

since you are using water, i suspect the hose that connects the radiator to the reservoir tank has loose clips. try and get clips and retighten on both ends, if done and the reservior is now boiling then we can say problem dey.

Hello my Oyaa, be like una dey busy o..

Anyway, I cleaned the EGRV connector and that error is gone.

My issue now is overheating, after that fix mentioned above in my previous post, the hose that goes into the reserve radiator tank brings out steam and you can tell from the radiator hose that the engine is overheating.

I do not have any CEL, and my thermostat and fan works like factory default.

I'm not sure my thermostat is stuck close because the lower radiator house is also warm.

My temperature gauge is normal but I know the engine is overheating or close to it or maybe it's my mind.


Ps: I bled the cooling system 2 days ago.

1. are you using water or coolant?

2. is there significant reduction in the liquid in the radiator?

Thanks,I was able to scan the vehicle today and according to the electrician there is an issue with Solonoid2.The car was bought as naija use from a friend and also the transmission fluid is a little bit blackish

From online research, the DSL solenoid was causing the issue but you didn't tell us what code as others had shudder.

Some did the drain and refill twice and the issue went away.

Next they opened the pan and changed the DSL solenoid but care full with the wiring also for testing the DSL it is adviced you already have a replacement on ground before attempting to change or check. It is supposed to read 10 to 11ohms, any digression means it is faulty.

If after all these no long time relieve, prepare to change the whole transmission better and safer

I have a 2009 Toyota RAV4,2wheel drive, 4plug but lately I just discovered that the gear selection from gear 1 to 2 makes a very loud noise and delay.The gear box is U241E.Is it a 10pin or 13pin gear box?How much can I get a replacement just in case it stops working?I will really appreciate it I can get your responses please

Normally you should scan and get codes, the codes will determine what is wrong and what to do next whether repair or replace transmission.

For context
1. How long have you been using the vehicle trouble free?
2. Was it naija used or direct tokunbo
3. Did you change the transmission fluid, if yes what fluid and quantity was used to replace.
4. Take the transmission Guage if it has one put a drop of the fluid on a white tissue or your headlamp let's see if it is pink or blackish.

phal:
Thanks for Ur input, I have changed the pump but still the same problem 😕

Scan the car, Nissan is known for sensor wahala. Replace all the former changed parts. A scan will point you in the right direction

So who is to be blame here?

You or Heritage bank?

So after promising that my NYSC discharge certificate is my collateral and then asking me to find sureties with like sum as collateral, nah me dey at fault 😂

The most important thing is that I am in a better place, I hold no grudge

Quintuple:
So where is the innovative idea as you claimed?

If my idea wasn't innovative then
1. BOI would not pick me for training and spending $300 to train me for 3months

2. I would not pass to the next stage of reimbursement by talking to the bank

If you want to see the innovative idea, bring 500k that's how much my business plan is worth today.

omoadeleye:
Please kindly tell us the banks you applied for loan that they failed to approve the loan for you and tell us about the innovative ideas you brought out to the particular bank that was disregarded.

Thanks

Thank you for asking
2016 BOI agriprenuer training to be given 3m naira from Heritage bank.

The business idea was to plant plantain market half raw and process half into plantain chips.

I didn't collect the loan because
1. I was asked to find 2 sureties with 1.5m each to stand for me.
2. Later it was reduce to 750k each for the two sureties.

The agreement from BOI was to use our NYSC certificate as collateral for the 3m.

Not everything on Nairaland is cruise.

As banks refuse to lend to innovative ideas to start or expand businesses, the economy is feeling the heat. These issues all co joined to cause the high level of unemployment and under employment facing the country.

The youths have left the farms for white collar jobs. Those remaining in the village are only interested in scamming urban duelers, they are not ready for work.

I drive a two ton truck ... automatic transmission. The key is supposed to remain locked in the ignition until the truck is put into Parked gear and the engine switched off. Doesn't happen in my truck ... faulty ... the key can be pulled out at any time. I parked ... but put mistakenly put the truck in Reverse and switched off the engine ... jumped outside to make a quick delivery but on turning around In saw the truck reversing very slowly down the street and closing in on a BMW. There was not enough time to unlock the door and get in so I managed to hold it back . I tried by doing same ..only to discover the truck will reverse even though the engine is not on. How is this possible?

Faulty Gear park pawl. Haulage vehicles are supposed to be held in place by the hand brake including putting wooden shock at the tires especially on an incline.

One big oga don over chop earnings, profit plus capital.

Nigerians are bad managers

Nigeria to soon fire Long range missiles to Niger and the coup plotters tagged show of strength by Giant of Africa

That is what Yoruba call Ijaloor. I see them everyday and everywhere, they especially love moist areas

Macmilla:
Oga, the D light has nothing to do with the engine o. It is not 'check engine' light. Stop confusing people. The D light strictly is for your transmission. When it is blinking, it means there's something seriously wrong with the transmission. Please do a little research if you are not sure of something.

Yes I substituted D-light for the check engine light a mistake from me.

As for the strainer it is a replaceable part in transmission not sure for the Honda Accord

yak:
Urgently need a small car. Have seen 2 cars close the the set budget - 04/05 Honda civic and 2007 Honda city.
Please, which of the 2 is more forgiving, easy and cheap to maintain and generally a better car?

Civic is better because
1. If the city nah CVT the owner could have abused the transmission
2. If the city is the idsi engine with 8plugs, the mechanics may mess it up and when it's time to change plugs, life go Taya you original plugs nah like 30 to 50k multiply by 8

When I say V you say O, V! O!

if you don't get it, forget about it, you dey demarket another person business because of small argument una two get, it is well

BigUnclewriters:
Please I need upstream O2 sensor for my Honda CRV 03. I have tried changing it a couple of times but it doesn't work, as the code goes away for a few minutes and returns after driving a few miles. Meanwhile my car is consuming so much fuel

Please any credible plug in the house?

Stop buying used sensor. Also Honda sensors are engine specific if you buy O2 sensor meant for 05 and 06 CRV, it won't work for your 03 even though they look alike.

First check the engine you have if it's 2.0 or 2.4 then google the specific part number for your sensor, that's what you will take to market to buy replacement, those things cost 50k plus a piece currently for China and 200k for OEM from USA

Xileef:
I own a Honda accord 2006, automatic transmission. The issue is that whenever it's about to change into gear 2, it take a while before it enters, sometimes Jerks if i don't slightly remove my leg from the accelerator. Also, after driving for a long time, the D light on the dashboard starts blinking. A mechanic suggested I change the gear totally.

Those vehicle gear were known to be not rugged especially if the fluid isn't change regularly or wrong fluid was used.
You can try a gear expert in oyingbo to help service and change the faulty solenoid or switch button then use DW1 and change latest every 2 years.

I was wrong about the D-light should be check engine light. D-light blinking is transmission issue

Macmilla:
Bros this is Honda, not Toyota. Honda transmission oil filter is inbuilt and the only way to access it to "wash or clean" it is to teardown the transmission.

No, Honda Accord 03 to 07 has external transmission filter. Including other models using the K24 engines

Tijani009:
Even Audi 80

someone bought a about to die engine 505 1990s for 1.5m, 700k can only knowingly buy a scrap but then you maybe lucky to get a car with small problem the owner is tired of.

Toothless bull dogs, estimated billing coming soon to hard working struggling Nigerians. Nah to go buy solar installation and prepare for the worst. 1 month no light because some useless idiot at EKEDC wanted to fleece me of 300k for doing nothing , I sha bought fuel throughout that period and fought for my right till I was cleared, better to buy fuel of 1m than give a thief 300k because he will still come for more.

Nigerians take advantage of each other at any slight opportunity.

GloriousGbola:
The only way he can save that capital is convert it to dollars. Otherwise inflation will kill it.

inflation doesnt kill agriculture rather it makes it stronger. Rubber was less than #500 per KG in 2023, it is over ##1700 per KG now, farmers dey buy machine, car and build new houses in villages like we no dey the same Nigeria.

Camry for fuel economy with its 4cylinder engine variant, the 2.5L 2ARFE.

For the V6 camry it shares some engine part with the Lexus ES, but lexus has more luxury than toyota badge so if fuelling isnt an issue then for sedan the ES350 is better and more superior in everything than a camry even with the 5years difference.

The RX is less fuel efficient but has a good ground clearance and many luxury gadgets even than the ES. i always advocate for CUV which the RX is categorised as to help with bad roads. For me

RX350 > ES350 > camry 2015 i4 > Camry 2012 i4 > camry V6

Siberia01:
Lexus ES350 2013
Peugeot 508 2014-2017
Toyota Camry 2014 V6
Honda accord 2014

Fueling and maintenance wouldn't be an issue

Lexus best of them all, followed by the Accord, followed by Peugeot but buy that if you are closer to North last but not the least is the plastic Camry

What a bad way to set example for the coming generation.

Las Las, school nah scam

Manlinee:
So I finally got car fixed . But it wasn’t cheap either , had to spend over a million naira to get it sorted out . Ouch still hurt , still it was worth every penny, because the car has been running smoothly for over a month now and counting , and no hiccups whatsoever.

Congrats but you should give us the issue and the fix done.

GreaterFuture:
This started a few weeks now.
Just like that.
No, it's not a location issue.

Its a location issue. My Glo has been perfect since last year
