My Oga, it be like say water don pass Garri oooo... My mechanic finally got the gasket and fix it and no obvious overheating again but there is now a new problem. My car does not smoke before and even after it had overheating but my mechanic returned it to me after fixing the gasket with smoke coming from the exhaust. I told him to return the car to his garage immediately and find solutions to that smoke before I get him arrested. My OGAz, what cud be the cause of the smoke after fixing the gasket... Note, I also noticed a strange sound around the exhaust
What's the color of the smoke?

Car Talk / Re: How Can I Prevent My Lexus Side Mirrors From Being Stolen- Happened Twice Alread by olumzzz(m): 4:00pm On Nov 17, 2022
Dracoe:
Hello, my Lexus rx350 side mirrors have been stolen twice . After the first time it was stolen, I put my plate number on it, and now it has been stolen again. I can’t keep changing side mirrors everytime with almost 100k.
What can I do to prevent this from happening again ? Or even catching the culprit?
This happened in the same place where I do park my car.
Oga go and do comprehensive insurance

Can you please shed more light to this.

I love the elantra so much but i don't know if i should go for it as a first time car owner.

I like 05-07corolla too but i think owning that model of corolla doesn't come with a rest of mind.

Kindly suggest between 08-010 foreign used huyandai elantra and corolla 09-010 Nigerian used.

Which one should i go for??

Thanks
Since you don't know much about cars, I think you should go for the 05-07 corolla but make sure you comprehensively insure it for rest of mind.
The 09-10 corolla is also a very good choice but I think the body doesn't hold up compared to the previous generation.

ok good. But i asked a part seller on Zuba market about the price of the engines and gear he said it depends on the year of car manufacture.
the ones manufactured before 2007 are cheaper while those above are more expensive.
You can do your own research. 2006 to 2010 model years all have the same drivetrain
Car Talk / Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by olumzzz(m): 8:17am On Nov 15, 2022

Please share the right one. I need it for knowledge sake
That elantra generation has 2 engine variants.
The 1.8L and 2.0L engine.
The 1.8L engine variant were those sold brand new by dana motors and the tokunbo engines are very expensive like you said.
The 2.0L engine variant were those imported from USA/Canada as tokunbo cars and the tokunbo engines and gear are very cheap. The engine was 150k before but maybe it will be more now.

Parts are not cheap. Engine is over 700k, gear over 600k

It is a good car but not as rugged as Toyota and Honda.
Hope your routes have relative good roads

Isn’t Mercedes a luxury brand?
It’s used as a taxi in many parts of the world abs it fares very well.
That's an exception to the rule, not the rule

If bmw are truly worth the hype, why don’t commercial vehicle operators and fleet management use them like the way Japanese vehicles are used. Try using a BMW for bolt or Uber for 4months if it survives it, come tell me how much you spent on maintenance and let a bolt or Uber operator using a Corolla bring his own maintenance log book too!
Oga mike, bmw is a luxury brand fah.
Just like one of the most reliable car brands lexus isn't used for commercial purposes

I thought about that earlier, but I will be dumping it this year
Comprehensive insurance isn't something you think about.
It's a necessity.
Whether you dump this car or not. You should do it for any car.
It protects you against theft, accidents, vandalism, flood, fire, etc.

Good evening Nairalander,

The rain yesterday and of course human factors caused heavy traffick on the road. I used to park my car in one of my friends compound after it was vandalized three months ago. However, I couldn't park there yesterday, because it was too late. Therefore, I then decided to drive it home, and parked it on the street where I use to park it. I mean the location where it was vandalized.
I got home 12:38am, because of fear of vandalism, I guard my car from 12:38am to 6am, before going to bed by 6:30am.

It wasn't easy for me going out today, because I didn't have enough rest.

My advice: Before you buy Corolla (Uber standard) you must have a safe place to park it.


Link to when my car was vandalized: https://www.nairaland.com/7128850/toyota-corolla-vandalized
Go and do comprehensive insurance and sleep soundly

My 03 Camry is overheating.

I can’t find a leak.

One fan works on startup. The other when AC is on.

Water dries off in max two days. I don’t know if it’s the engine burning the water or something else. I am scared of giving the car to Kazeems Cos the two I have asked said thermostat removal and fan direct connection straight.

Abeg Gazzuzz I need to see you o

No drivability issues. I drive 10km to work and another 10km back. Traffic conditions are not too heavy, it's stop and go then few spots where there is traffic light and u stop for a minute or 2. Car is steady, no jerk, no rough idle. I need someone in owerri that can study the fuel trim and understand if it is running rich or lean.

Is your Check Engine Light on?
