Please help me brothers
My Toyota Highlander 2003 goes off after a refill .

Each time I finish buying fuel and turn on my ignition, it goes off once I try driving out of the filling station .

It happens almost immediately I turn on my AC

What could be the problem brothers ??
Oga scan your car first, it can as well just be a purge valve issue.

Please house, which of the two is better for fuel economy and maintenance?
Toyota Avalon 07/08
Lexus Es330 05/06
Which one will cost lesser to run as a daily driver? thanks
Difference in fuel economy is negligible.
Cost of engine parts is also similar.
For body parts, just insure comprehensively with Leadway or AXA so the cost won't be on you.
If going for the avalon, make sure it's the Limited trim and thank me later

Thanks so much for your reply. It’s well noted.

What’s your take on Camry models too within that range.
You already said bolt driving is involved. The camry is ok but has a bigger engine thus more fuel consumption relatively

For more than 4 years now, Benin Electricity Distribution Company has been giving me exorbiexorbitant estimated monthly billings for one of my houses in Benin City, a four bedroom flat.

This bills range between N44,000 to N47,000 monthly in spite of several complaint I made to them.

Please can someone tell me which body to report this case to as they feel reluctant to adjust the bills.

In 2023,
Which is a better option, I'm looking at 08 es350 or 08 gs350. Is Nigerian used worth considering?
Kindly advice.
Either is good and you can do Nigerian used so far it is inspected by a pro before you buy.
However they both have their pro and cons.

Driving experience - The gs350 takes this easily. It is RWD and has AWD option. You can even learn to drift and have more fun with it.

Speed - gs350 easily

Reliability - similar

Parts/maintenance - es350 takes this as parts more readily available and the drivetrain is similar to what most technicians are familiar with. A replacement engine for the gs350 will take at least a million outta your pocket. But would you need to?

Practicality - the es350 takes this as the cabin and trunk are bigger which might come in handy if you're a family man.

Fuel economy - WTF is that if you're thinking of buying a v6? sad

My PERSONAL opinion:
The gs350 is the better car to drive.

Thanks..
Yea, the mazda 6 meets the Euro 6/ulez standard.
The mazda's (premium) interior isn't up to the lexus (luxury) standard but it isn't that bad either.
Bros that interior shouldn't be for a 2015 car.
It's too ordinary.
But it drives better than the lexus sha.

there are two thermostat.

The thermostat that controls the fan. And the thermostat that controls the coolant flow.

From all of this. Is means the fan thermostat is intact. The problem is from the coolant thermostat. Coolant thermostat doesn't you electric. It use heat to Open loop and close when cold.

I think you are mixing the two.
I'll stop replying here

no my thermostat is intact.

I check the radiator yesterday and the water has not leak so i will observe it for a week before i make decisions.

I keep getting check engine light for “coolant thermostat P0128”. Is it because of water or what?

The thermostat work as fan doesn’t come on when the engine starts. I come on after it warm and off/On intervals.

What could cause a coolant thermostat? This started after engine seat was changed.
Your thermostat isn't intact sir

What would make a radiator price double if subsidy is remove? What concerns subsidy with radiator.

Incase the radiator doesn't leak again for now. Any problem with using the radiator with water?

The coolant thing with radiator is almost 45k and that's huge at this time. Let me just finished with the radiator for the final stage. It might get a replacement next year.

Lastly I heard some people saying coolant should be mix with 50% water. So I might buy 3L and mix with water right?
Price of petrol affects price of commodities.
Do not mix the coolant as most are already pre-mixed (confirm on label).
As my oga nurey said, you can buy total coolant from any total filling station, I think it's 1k per liter.
Using water might lead to rusts and might damage your water pump because of zero internal lubrication.
I guess your fan is already running direct and thermostat removed else you would've had serious overheating issues in between your water topups.

The problem is not from the mechanic, the op himself has trust issues which led him to buy fuel pump of 10k instead of 30k.

He buys fuel of small quantities and drives vehicle mostly in reserve.

The mechanic has a diagnostic tool I deduced all this from his write up. Yes we cannot absolve the rewire of some blame but when you tell someone what you need is #10 and the person say nah 50kobo own he dey find, guy man has to chop so he does his best at cut and join work grin
Still signs of an unreliable technician.
The technician no get standards.
So even if him buy yaris, him go still dey buel 1k fuel and substandard parts.
So let him change his technician and his mentality 1st

Sell the vehicle it seems from your write up that you lack financial capabilities to maintain a luxurious sedan.

Sell, buy a yaris and learn basics of car maintenance just an honest opinion.
Wrong advice bro.
Even he buys a yaris, he will still go back to his kazeem and that rewire.
Let him get a good technician 1st, who will prperly diagnose the car and make recommendations
