2008 Nissan Teena Engine Issues( Nissan Mechanic Needed In Lagos) by tbh2053(op): 11:27pm On Jul 21, 2023
Good day house,

Please I have a 2008 Nissan Teena 2.5L V6 but the engine is bad (overheats). I want to get a replacement engine but I want it installed by a competent Nissan Mechanic.

Please can anyone recommend a COMPETENT Nissan Mechanic ( Not a Kazeem) that can handle this job in Lagos? I need a mechanic that will not cut corners, someone that will install all the sensors and put the correct oil grade. I want this car back to factory standard as it is my daily driver.

I will appreciate credible referrals.

Thank you

1.Nissan is not a vehicle that needs a specialist. It's a straightforward regular japanese vehicle.

2.I have never in my years of experience with vehicles heard that the solution to overheating is engine replacement. If you don't diagnose, detect and solve the issue of overheating, even if Nissan sends you a brand new engine from their factory, you will still be back to the same overheating issue.

3.If you can state in details the problem, when it started, how it started and for how long you have had your car, you would be pointed in the right direction. Do note, details, no matter how little would save you time, money and stress.

I doubt if there's anything as overheating kill a 1mz engine. I was driving my lexus es 300 on the highway with AC and I don't know what happened but I did not look at the temp guage. The next thing I saw was it was on red. As I was pulling over to off engine I heard a loud bang it was the upper radiator hose exploding. I allowed it to cool, replaced the radiator hose, out water inside the radiator and zoomed off with my journey. My ordeal with overheating continued, I was losing coolant without leaks and I don't know why till I got to a specialist who inspected my radiator, washed it and changed the cover. My overheating problem was solved.

Hehe he chop me 2k u mean? 1k for radiator flush, 1k for flushing. You really don't know anything about what you're saying. That radiator cap is a pressurized system and my own has visible damage around the rubber seals. As a result, every 50km of driving, my radiator empties until I fixed that problem and since Easter period reach now, I have never lost a drop of coolant
