Please gurus in the house I need urgent help. I have a Honda Civic 2004. The automatic transmission slips after sometime of use(I cannot say exactly how many kilometers the car covers before it happens). But once I switch off the engine and start it again, the transmission works perfectly. Then if I continue to use it, after a certain no of kilometers, the transmission will stop working again. When I took it to a gear technician, the problem did not come up so the person said I should bring it when the problem occurs. Please i need urgent help before the transmission dies completely. |

KelvinCoaster: The car was just bought and the previous owner (the first owner) used Mobil XHP 1000. I cannot say much about the performance for now but i was hoping that using Mobil Super 2000 5W30 will improve performance of the engine and still keep i running for a long time. The car will be used for e-hailing. |

Car Talk / Re: Hyundai Cars Users Are Growing Rapidly In Nigeria Unlike Kia by ping2ping: 11:45pm On Mar 27, 2022 |
These are the two engines found in Elantra 2006-2010. No 1 as per the picture was bought as new in Nigeria while No 2 was imported as tokumbo from the US. I understand that engine in No 2 is way cheaper than engine in No 1. Engine No 2 comes only as 2.0L while engine No 1 comes as 1.6L or 1.8L. Result of little research i have done subject to any correction 7 Likes

You guys are derailing this thread. I was following this thread to learn about Hyundai cars but its degenerating to something very unnecessary. One of the questions @Op asked is, why are Hyundai engines so expensive? I read from another thread that Hyundai sold as new in Nigeria have different engine than Toks from US. The engine of the ones sold in Nigeria as new cost much more than those imported as Toks from the US. I really do not know how true this is. If it is actually true, how can one know the one imported from US and one bought new in Nigeria that is if you are buying Nigerian used? 1 Like |

Peppermintflav: 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 4 Likes |

9icetoo: Thanks so much. I asked a friend who is a Honda parts seller today. He said exactly what you have said here. Body parts are very expensive like bumper, fender, side mirrors, headlamps, tail lights, etc. I remember he said one of the doors is about 40k. However mechanical parts are relatively less expensive. Some of the mechanical parts include the shock absorbers, brake pads, steering rack, power steering pump, etc. Once again, thanks 1 Like |

Tzar: This is a guide @op. To the best of my knowledge, you are about 80% on point. However, on Honda Civic 1.8L engine, they come mostly with automatic transmission and NOT manual. I would also add Honda Civic 1.7L to the list(Honda Civic 2004-2005) 5 Likes 1 Share |

Hello guys, I need help. I am looking for a good Nigerian used car to buy for everyday use. The car will be used to n fro office weekdays and taxify for weekends/public holidays. Consequently, i am concerned about low fuel consumption, cheap and readily available parts, very good AC system and enough room for 3 people at the back. After my research, I have come up with the following, all Auto transmission: 1. Honda Civic 2007-2008 (US Model) 2. Honda City (the model with normal auto transmission) 3. Hyundai Elantra 2007-2010(US Model) I did not include Toyota Corolla because of the theft and harm to drivers. A taxify driver told me a couple of Corolla drivers were killed last year and their cars snatched. Toyota Matrix would have being there but I don't know if hatchback cars are acceptable for uber/taxify. Thanks Cc @Gazzuzz @HavenlyBang @Kingreign @9icetoo @nurey Other gurus here |
