I Don't really look at the oil colours Sha, I know them based on their containers.
The rubber containers are sold for 500 ND LL turn ur compressor to low pumping in less than 4 months (depending on AC usage Sha). While the iron containers are best and are sold for 2k upwards.

But the type of oil used shouldn't stop the AC performance for now, so d problem is not from d oil

Soh which one should I buy boss, this easy is cooling somewhat now, but not with the same way it used to cool before d whole conderser issue

franksam2009:
the main reason I always get scared of working on my AC lol.
From experience if an AC condenser is worked on, if should be flushed and dryer should be changed,
Den an original half can of oil(2k) should be used be4 1½ gas can refill(1 and half)
For ur case just reduce some gas n see how it goes sha

When u say original half can of oil? The Oil the guy use is this white type and very little, as in very little, I'm sure it can't b up to 200, in as much as I hate getting involve in dia work, cos most people don't like it, I have to tell him I'm not pleased with d white oil, I want the green colour type.

franksam2009:
p0741 your transmission fluid is low or dirty, I changed my fliud and filter and it went away

My Oga save my a/c, to cut long story short... I went to fix bonnet cos the lock is not tight, while d penal beater was working (burning & heating), I noticed gas leaking from d condenser, soh I took it to a/c repairer, he said, he's going to block the line that is licking in the condenser. He did that and gas it with one Cheb, which I later add one Cheb on Monday, but as at this moment my a/c is not what it used to b, I'm not feeling it atall, vapour is not gushing out or moist cover the glasses at night like it used to b, each day seems like the cooling is less effective... Please which way forward?

donfortune48:
Yeah.
I believe every Uber driver does that when empty.

I try to balance the cost-benefit most times, I may get a trip along the round, but hardly do and at times if I'm stressed and don't have energy for that bad road, I'll use d toll gate, if fate choose to favour me, I'll get a trip from Oriental.

tojahh:
I dey do my Gear like this. Them don drop am to finish on Friday. So for now na Quora I be o.

Boss I hope u no deh labour room with dem?

izzou:
Nigerian used

Dat 550k may end up being pure lemon

donfortune48:
Legit!!!!

Same here.
I've not been on the road for almost 4days now.
...'ve been putting serious efforts on some personal projects.

Uber is just like those alternative routes we use in beating toll fee.
So man gazz not forget to work towards getting an e-tag for the tolls, and boycott the alternatives.

Lol, soh u always take alternative route too, it is well boss... His will shall surly abide in us #GreaterHeight

tojahh:

I've been thinking dose guys snatch uber/bolt customer and prolly is the next thing, but I hardly see any well dressed person on opay and it kind of funny seeing touts stopping them for owo mi da on Saturday.

deedee44:

Can I represent d association at d bar? I promise to b of good conduct, I'll drink responsibly, if its only 12 bottles my system can take, I won't go beyond it.

nwizu042:
You don't have to fly at night to be a witch/wizard.
I see what you guys did up there and i can only say may God help you all.
You just crushed someone's hope / dream right there simply because you could afford Data.
You lot have trust issues and need help.
SMH.

Boss dont look at things from that angle, expectation is the mother of disappointment, its a good thing to have a knowledge of what you are deeping your hands into. Let me give u brief story how I got driving as I never had the intention too... I saw a friend in need and somehow felt his old owner is being too demanding based on his complain, I scold him on d part he did wrong and try to make things work for us. Ohk! I'll get a car for you, but my clauses r 1, u park d car in my compound & 2, Sunday's, u drop d car by 9am and pick back by 4pm that is before buying. He agreed, on getting d car, parking space change to place of his choice, not is house o, as per another persons compound I don't know, but it's still within same locality, well! No problem. We only lasted 2 week as the first Sunday, I saw him ard 2pm. All of this I did not bother as I felt if d agreement is not working, man up and talk to me rather than d third party side talk that is getting to me. My mistakes: I should have given him the car and remove my mind of it or return on Sunday's for check up, I'm new into the business and security is very important to me. He became so rude, talk carelessly, even when I try to keep peace, cos I'm d one at the receiving end now. The day he dropped the car, he only ask us for a drive and asked me to drive, that was how he dropped the car , only to find out he just landed 2009 tek corolla (robust story dat may not see d light on dis). Here, I'm left to my fate, now I don't know if I should go back or wot do to, once gave someone valuables, I didn't even bother to dig investigation, not up to a month, I receive a cringing news. Do people ard me warned me not to go into business with a friend? Yes! They do, but I gave a friend a chance to prove them wrong, only to learn, people only care when it is beneficial, if they have a better option, u r a goner.

Back to issue at hand... Boss I read where u said you want to give him the car and he should pay 2m within d frame of 2yrs, but you refuse to say the amount and kind of car you are willing or capable of buying. If you buy corolla of 1.7 million in such instance, you are doing him a favour and hopefully he won't turn out to b an ingrate, I'll still advise you to go ahead, all human r not d same and ur own blessing won't skip u by. But if it is a regular thing that can b obtained outside friendship, you r not doing any favour here, both of u r normal business partner.

Chief, i been dey house since 2 weeks.
From Evaporator to Compressor now to AC blower, i know say if my village people tire for my matter, dem go release me.
The two customers i made on my street called me today to ask what's going on. Thank God say na pay as you go i did the two days i carried them.
I don't know why i have to go through this, at 27, walked out on a mind numbing 50k job that owe salary for 4 months, endured for 2 and half years, left in January and couldn't get a placement despite passing two interviews.
Now, i go carry Tokunbo motor to dey use am hustle ,AC wahala wan wreck me. The money i never make on top the job self i don spend am on top.
May God help me

Boss I want to believe we once meet, its touching reading this, but you honestly don't need it, life is a roller coaster and if you are not strong the pressure will break you. Always note that no one go through life living problem free (emotionally, mentally or physically), imagine someone taking care of an autism kid or take a walk to the hospital tonight and you will realise your problem is a testimony to another person.
Fact is tokunbo or naija used, buying a car with last money, need a careful attention, when it comes to business, one need to be extra careful, it have nothing to do with village people, but process and going to a new thing, gathering experience is almost inevitable and it can b worst following what people put here, they are some argument I don't get involve, because I believe its just personal or group of bigotry opinions and one of them is the corolla/ not naija used as a must. If I have 1.8 million plus plate number of 60k and other fixing that may land 2 million, I'll never use it to invest in uber/bolt at the rate d business is going or give myself unnecessary stress, where I can't comfortably drink beer with straw because I park some tin outside (make person no go mistakenly go shock straw inside nostril). Much to say, but little space and time, boss, my advice will still b for u to once check the car well again if it can stand the job? Cost of engine? Cost of gear? Cost of fixing the legs as well. I'll say manage and save up to 400k towards Jan next year as December is ard d corner and it's drivers season (hopefully). Jejely, sell d car and add money to buy naija used Matrix, which is almost same to corolla, wit 1 to 1.1 million naira, you should b able to get a good Matrix base on negotiation skill... It may not b your choice car or final bus stop, but a good beginning to ending disappointment and village people.
About not getting placement... Most of us have certificate and believe to b a top notch in class, without a month salary after school, but will r surviving, to b honest I don't envy anyone, some times I wish I failed jamb, those that did not go to school in my view seems to b doing well in life compare to the d suit & tie guys outside oil industry, federal & some few guys. If u pay me 100k/monthly in this Lagos, I'll always b restless at work. So put it all behind you boss, forget village people, they is a need for u to sit & put your mindset together, force obviously won't open some doors.

fabiano09:
Mark my word,you and that your friend will end up as enemies ,if there's something I've learned in life is that never look at everything as a business opportunity . If you really wana help him then do it for him and remove your eyes ,else don't bother ,look for another person with no affiliation to you and give a car for uber rentals. Humans are humans for a reason,just one thought will be planted in his mind one day and he'll start messing up,am 90% sure. If God has blessed you then bless your friend,if you're not capable then don't dabble into this ,trust me you'll regret this,and you'll come back to this thread to lament

Seconded on experience. If you truly want to help a friend and not capable of buying a car for someone just like that, both of you should make a project out of it, what you can part as a friend and what he can bring to the table as well, but if you are thinking of making it a FWB thing it have a beta chance of becoming a FTE thing. Learn from other ppl experience boss.

peeps4u:
Let me burst your bubble bro.
That moniker you asked if uber has paid is your driver's moniker.

Compulsory Leave on top Taxify.... dull Monday on Uber I’m currently on my bed

My Oga sleep well and if u translate em to yoruba, you r on your own. Don't worry, taxify will unblock you soon, just call Izzou to call the person he knows and one time u r back. I've been lazy after chopping bonus on Saturday, tried to work yesterday, after one trip, fan pack up, had to drive with overheating from iyana ipaja to ogba yesterday, rewire said is rely, done did that, but the spirit is soh low to work today, may take Wednesday to get my full capacity energy back.

Gentlelife50:
With all the waka waka u narrated here I don't think the fuel consumption is that bad, besides most feul stations are scam. Even majority of those fake nnpc are thiefs, and one more thing that your fuel is on red is not unusual.
It's common especially if u do ehailing and you don't fill your tank (like buying 2,3k fuel all the time), my red tank sometimes still make 3-4k.
But to be sure I suggest u run a proper check and scan

Ah swear d tin deh surprise me too... If u can make btw 12 - 15k on 3k fuel, what r we talking again?

He agree that he we bring back the car by Sunday for the first beginning and also I we be the one responsible if it have any issues within any day the car is with me which I must fix and if the car is with him his responsible to fix it when his with him does where the rules at first am not trying to say we are all perfect but the way his speak so so rude he act like he knows it all and also like I am the one begging him to rent my car just this short time of a week telling me not to call his phone that if I call him and Ploice’s hold him I we pay I ask my self is he my wife or girlfriend that I we be calling him if not buniess we I ever dial his number at first place and he always said I have done Uber car rent and also hp and for years and I ask my self is y have he not have his car if his owner by now after this many years not that am mocking anyone but I still found out the last car he was riding the owner took it form him he told me the car was not good but I still doesn’t believe him because have not heard form the owner of the driver what happened,let me ask you man to man if I was ur driver and I am he rude to you and claim always that am right in everything I do even if am older than u we u not sack me does buniess matter the age or not

I learnt some vital lessons doing business with someone 10yrs older than me 3 yrs ago, so as for respect in business I look at it from emotional angle, what bind us should be strict and if dia is a room for beer parlour talk after that depends on how we treat each other during round table talk. The man in question messed up to the point of spending 2 weeks in kirikiri, so let put respect aside. Business is business (even my landlord, I avoid him like ghost), you either stay focus ( standard form), or cut corners and blame yourself. When you said, repair! When things got damage in your care or his care? There is something called "uberrima fides" in contract, how truthful can both of you stand in the face of circumstances and not push blames? I'll say it again, either he agreed Sunday's return or not pending on weekly delivery, your agreement is faulty and need adjustment. About doing you a favour? Jokely, you r doing him a favour prompt to giving him the car and he is now the CJN of the car, as long as delivery is K.
