One thing about paying a good mechanic is, u would not even feel the amount of money u go spend, cause they know what they are doing. But to appreciate dat is kind of talent, u will need to be kazeemized first grin

Got to location in isolo, it was easy to find, vehicle looked like it had not moved in months! Body was in fair condition , only had a really bad rear bumper , the interior was dirty! But nothing Eze couldn't clean up, the engine bay was as red as ikorodu mud could be with cobwebs , but interestingly no wires flying up and down. Opened the radiator and saw fresh coolant, Engine oil dip stick I saw almost clean engine oil at normal level, transmission oil dipstick was at normal level and very bright pink!

Happy new year! I wasn't cyber bullied into leaving o! I just realized that Nigerians are gullible and love being lied to and I don't have time for that so I left them to their fate with those they love being lied to by lol.

I pop in every so often to laugh at the result. Those who want real help and the truth come directly to us at the shop and bypass this nonsense cool

where did we stop this nonsense?



GAZZUZZ:


* Noisy suspension front and rear (danfo type)

* Engine slugish (underpowered )

* Engine cranks longer than necessary

* Stuck in 3rd gear, bangs in drive and reverse.

* Starts in neutral only

* Horrible brakes

* No horn

* Very stiff power steering

* Tyres worn out

* Engine bay, interior trunk filthy

* Body jobs required

* Paint work required

* Rear bumper required

* Rear lights getting cracked (sunburn)

* AC dysfunctional.

* Car stereo Display not working

Most of what I could see at that point in time.



Going thru my head at this point is, make vehicle drivable transmission, small body work, steering then quickly flip it dru23 style make a quick 50-70k.

Then another voice reminded me that there was no run around vehicle in the shop and this would be perfect for teaching the Bois how to drive and quick errands.

I started work.

Called Eze to come wash the interior and trunk while I simultaneously started work in the engine area.

First things first a scan

Revealed transmission codes some solenoid A stuck one kind like that, I ignored it, inspected harness was intact, went over to engine and removed valve cover and timing belt cover.

The timing was off by a mile! Explains the loss of power and sluggish movement.

Remarkably, when the cover was opened the engine was CLEAN! As in what was obtainable in a foreign used engine, with good history, I went back to our chat and I was like this guy no wind me o!




At this point I am trying see what parts are salvageable and what parts are not.

Replaced the timing belt, replaced all serpentine belts , cleaned out all ground connections, replaced wheel hubs , CV axles (complete) front brake pads, rear brake shoes, lower control arm bushings, upper strut mounts, recalibrated the shifter cable.

Started the engine and power was restored, went for a test drive and for a brief minute I noticed all the gears selected well!

This took me down memory lane to one 2011 hyundai elantra that nearly sent me to my ancestors, I replace the transmission of that car twice , before realising the issue was the brainbox !
Suspension was quieter, braking was better car starting from park driving was smoother still had some noise at the back and some mild noise in front, also had really bad tyres, but overall I now had a very clean Interior and an almost drivable vehicle .

Theres a guy in Benin i usually send ECUs to fix, when the replacement cost is on the high side, or when it's almost impossible to find.

There's also one upcoming star around me that says he fixes engine ECUs, there was a time I actually diagnosed a faulty 2gr-fe ecu for a permanent injector pulsation fault, and showed him what chip to replace and he did and it worked fine, so I decided to patronise him on the possible repair of the engine ECU of this car.

Uncle charged me ₦35,000! I lamented but he refused to shift ground cry I paid and he told.me.toncome back for it same day in the evening .


Evening came I picked it up, installed it went for test drive, all gears selected really well car drove like a champ! One thing about these tiny cars is they are very nice sprinters cheesy .

Time to take vehicle for an engine bay and underbody wash.

If you have ever owned or used this model , you know never to wash the engine!

Well I had to, the mud was irritating, and I love a clean engine bay and underbody.

Sorry I didn't take pics but this is how it went down so just use your imagination.

I removed the engine ECU,

Removed the throttle body

Removed the ignition coils and plug wires .

And I used the pressure hose personally.

2 hours later engine bay looked saner!

Restored all removed parts and refurbished faded and discoured plastic with a touch of paint.

She was looking much better.

After and before below .

Remember I said I assumed the tyres were 14" rims? I was replacing bulbs and horns when I asked the tyre guy if he has 14" brand new tyres , he said oga nah 15" de there nah!

I said 15 what? I said thank you and nearly gave him a hug Omo see what I had relaxing in the shop to choose from.
