YourhealthNG2:
Thank you so much for this advice. I'll get a toks radiator cap and fix.

But first, the mechanic says the top gasket is damaged already because of multiple episodes of overheating. So I've told him to get all that is required and fix a new top gasket.

Meanwhile, is it true that coolant is not compatible with new radiator? The new radiator, I was told, is the original and aluminium type. But the mechanic said pouring in coolant will spoil it (I usually use total coolant and I do not add ordinary water).

YourhealthNG2:
The car is Toyota sienna 2007. It was bought as Tokunbo barely 2 months ago but has not been used for once because of intractable overheating problem.

The car upon travelling a short distance will overheat and shut off. Sometimes it may start again after cooling down. Meanwhile, the temperature guage does not go up (we thought the guage was faulty initially and changed it).

We have virtually exhausted all options - changed top gasket, changed 2 top cylinders, replaced the radiator with a new one, replaced the water pump with a new one, bypass thermostat, replace fuel pump, etc.

The car is located in Enugu.

Please I need help from experts or contact of experienced technician on this problem in Enugu or south-east.

NinjaMetahuman:
accelerating and decelerating is actually good for electric cars..

There is something called regenerative braking, most electric cars have it.
Everytime you decelerate, your battery gains charges. (Google regenerative braking for more details)

As for ac, the consumption is usually very minimal. Atleast on popular brand.

Watch this video on that if you have enough data.

Hmmmm, this thread is exposing lots of illiterates.

It takes 9 hours to charge fully.

A full battery can do 400+km

That means just 2 hours charge should be able to do almost 100km.

How many people do 100km daily to work and back home?

This means this can work even when you have poor electricity.

A bare minimum of 2hrs charge at home or at work and you're good to go.

Is it advisable to buy a car that the Ac compressor needs replacement?

Teextoo:
Hello Guys, I need your help and advice on what to do about my 09 toyota corolla (south african version) ac compressor. My car's ac compressor has been burning repeatedly since mid November last year and am on the 4th compressor now which was changed on 18th December with an adapted 507 new compressor as last resort on advice of the technician; to my chagrin, it burnt on 26th December almost setting the engine on fire after burning out the belt.
So I decided to let it rest and drive without ac till the christmas festivities are over. Now, I would have loved to scrap the car but it's a manual transmission and am enjoying it.
Please Nairalanders, help me out cos I have always bragged to my friends who are none members that there is no issue in this world that you guys can't handle.
Thanks

Paulagada:
Please auto gurus, what is the cost of Toyota Corolla (LE) ac compressor? Mine is bad.

aieromon:
Competent AC Techs are very few. I haven't tried out the product yet but I do believe it can solve tiny leaks based on the reviews I have come across.

How's your training so far?

devstation:
Thank You guys. I really appreciate.

I'll insist they check for leaks when i visit them. Any Practical DIY method i could check myself?
I'll also have the cabin air filter replaced

Please do we have any recommendation for a competent AC Technician around the Calabar / Uyo Axis?

lwise:
I have tried and tried, even to order from Amazon but I couldn't get it. It doesn't ship to Nigeria.
Does anyone have an idea on how to get this product in Nigeria.
Thanks

@peeps4u and every expert in the house
Please I need your help with some clarification as I am not a car expert.

Is Honda Civic 2006 fuel consumption better than corolla 04??

Between Toyota corolla 04 and Honda Civic 06, which is stronger body wise. I may be be wrong o, but I have come to notice the body of Toyota tend to remain fit and strong over a long time.

There is this opinion that Honda civic usually developed gear problem unlike Toyota corolla; is it true?

I have #700,000, and I need a Toyota corolla 2004 model that is accident free, sharp & clean enough to engage in either Uber or Taxify. Please, kindly help a brother.

I understand very well that the price is usually more than this; but that is all I have right now, and I can't really push further if I still want to survive.

I am very hopeful I will meet a good person here who is willing to help me.

I am currently resident in Benin city, but I am open to help from any part of the country
