ping2ping: I agree with your post. however i learnt in another thread that Honda makes one of the best CVT so there may not be need to worry buying Honda City with CVT Transmission. However the buyer MUST use ONLY CVT fluid to avoid destroying the transmission True... But Nissan CVT has shown me shege,  that's why anything on CVT for now is not my spec. |

Veetee: Please advise house, I am considering getting a Honda Accord (Eod) for Uber, the seller was honest enough to advise me not to use it since it’s a V-6 engine. So what if it was 4 plugs, Please what is the best car to use for Uber on a budget of 650 to 800. Nigerian used Personally, there are 4 cars I will consider. 1. Toyota Corolla bank type manual. It has the same engine with all these auto corollas selling for 1.5m and you can get it for 800k or less. 2. Honda civic. 2002 -2004 model. More economical than almighty Corolla. Manual or auto doesn't matter. You can get it for 800k or less. 3. Honda City. The auto is CVT, so I would advice you go for manual transmission. This is the baba of fuel conservation. 4. Toyota Yaris. Manual or auto doesn't matter. The car is simply rugged. Fuel economy is excellent. I heard parts are cheap and easy to maintain. Though some people complain about AC problems. But falls within your budget. I'm not sure about getting Honda Civic 2006 upwards with the budget you have... But if you see clean one for 800k it's also a good buy. |

Gentlelife50: So you are saying I'll be doing 140 and my tire is going 120?? I no understand Changing tyre size affects the speedometer reading. The speedometer was calibrated with a particular stock tyre from factory, so altering that tyre will either reduce or increase the speed shown on the dash. |

chillex8: No be play bros. I hit 180km/hr on my elegant Ford duratec those days on 3MB. Trust me, I complete that bridge in less than 5mins. This one I have confirmed personally... Even my civic completes that bridge under 5mins. Wetin una dey talk sef? Bridge only seems longer when there is traffic. If you do the math @120km/h it will take roughly 6minutes to cover the 11.8 km of the bridge. So @180km/h it will be roughly 4mins. |

Felicity001: My car has a Max speed of 160... I guess now you believe me when I said I'd not done 120 yet... Just a few times I'd seen the meter reading hit 100 and at this time the Uber app will be reading 140km+ in bold red color na that time my eyes dey go my speedometer to see what's going on.
Doing 130 on a Benz is oike doing 80km on ur lapka lapka Corolla 
Talking about fuel bros... You actually can't relate... Dont worry I've a bad oxygen sensor and air flow meter hoping to get it fix by month end during my next oil change.
I will gladly rent my car to you for a week so you see how fuel efficient the car is.
What else do I need for a car that does 14km/L? How much fuel will ur lapka lapka Corolla do for that distance?
Bros I still went to convenant twice last week I spent just 2500-3k for fuel to and fro with full ac... My O2 and MAF bad oooh... How much will a corolla spend? Pls what car is this? 14km/L is 39.55mpg. That's quite impressive |

Kingsdave: went to my mechanic on Saturday,narrated my ordeal , he called an AC guy , he told me the guy knows his onions , the guy came , I narrated everything to me , he told me from what he understands my compressor isn't bad at all, he opened my bonnet checked the Ac told me there was no oil in it... He recommended ND 11 oil for it , he told me those guys used cheap harsh gas for me , he said I'm lucky it would have cost me my compressor cos the compressor uses sensor , he asked if I perceived any gaseous smell when I on the AC ,I said no , he said my evaporator is good ,he told me my seals are one also the condenser bolt are broken , probably from the first guys that checked it out , they broke it and left it like that for me , he said I will change the condenser , I was like protesting , thinking it was another antics, he gave in and tried filling the gas, I was told to on my car Ac , when I on the AC there was little blast like sound , I thought a hose blasted, it was the condenser , he removed it and he performed a test told me to keep my finger close to one of the two holes , if he blows in air into one hole and it come out of the other , then it's good .. he did and no air came out.. he recommended I buy a new condenser , I bought a condenser and we did the test and air came out .. he fixed it , also fixed the seal and recharged the gas , the car is mortuary standard now ... He told me the other guys wanted to play games with me , they would have ripped me off without getting any solution.. he said it was just oil , good refrigerant and condenser was the problem Congratulations.. it's always good to seek second and third opinion b4 concluding. You have found a new ac tech be that..  |

I heard City's steering rack costs more than the engine of the car. Also the CVT gearbox is something to watch out for. Unless you are going for a manual transmission. I will take the Civic cos of these 2 points I mentioned. But in terms of fuel economy, City na baba. |

Peppermintflav: Good day all and happy New year. My 98 crv after driving for about 30mins, and I off the engine, the reservoir container boils, an I'll be hearing hissing sound. When everything cools down, water in the radiator will reduce, and the reservoir will be empty. I did a small test this morning. I left the radiotor open and started the engine, after about 5-10 minutes I saw bubbles like foam. Pls what is the meaning?

layi: I use a 2010 venza
whenever i park under the sun for hours and i start car, the AC vents on driver side will blow only fan (even when set to max cooling) but all other vents starts cooling immediately. I'll need to drive the car around for at least 20mins before the 2 driver side vents picks up and start cooling.
Pls who has experience with this..i dont want to be scammed by these AC technicians. one is already saying i'll have to replace condenser and compressor.Thats ridiculous Hook up guages and see if you are low on gas. |

Conner44: Classic cylinder head gasket leakage symptoms after a bad case of previous overheating. Check if water is mixing up with your engine oil
Also a cracked water hose or radiator fin can cause such symptoms. Check your transmission oil too for signs of water dilution Engine oil is normal. Trans oil is very ok. Though I'm planning to bring down the radiator for proper scrutiny. |

OmodavidoX: Good morning my Ogas here.
Please I will like to know if using 7k fuel for 299km journey is okay (fuel gauge light came on due to not getting filling station in time)…( or my car 04 Corolla sport ) consumes fuel a lot. Let's assume it's 42litres you are talking about. Your car is consuming about 20mpg which is bad for highway. Scan the car. |

Car Talk › Re: Camry 08 Car Ac Not Working. Please Help by Peppermintflav: 4:58pm On Dec 29, 2021 |
icenti: My Camry 08 V6 ac just stopped blowing cold. Air filter removed, same thing. I went to mechanics place & I was told my gas level is above 140/200 psi which sounds okay to me. But he’s insisting we leak the old gas out and refill. I refused because it’s follow come gas. He said my compressor is bad & also it’s automatic. So now I’m supposed to buy another one but he’s saying I buy manual. Please advise. Should I buy manual? According to him, automatic compressor is troublesome. I don’t have idea on the difference. Any suggestions ? The truth is that most technician's in order to avoid stories that touch, run from advising customers to buy automatic compressor, especially when they are buying from ladipo. The sellers don't give guarantee, imagine spending over 100k on compressor and it doesn't work after 2 days... Secondly automatic compressor does not tolerate impurities, so any small dirt in the system can compromise the whole system. I will advise u take the car to a competent ac tech that knows the job. Finally Incase you decide to go the manual way, don't use Peugeot compressor, use 2003 Toyota Corolla compressor. You won't feel any vibration. |
