Home of junks, you can try sellers with positive feedback that offer returns and refunds if deal goes South.

Yoh can try cash and carry, Goodoies park or Lafayyete or exclusive hyper market in island for seeing is believing shopping incase no trusted online shop around you in naija that offers quality products

I bought an OBD2 scanner from Temu whilst I was in Nigeria just now for 500K and its good quality, it works just fine.

The stabilizer linkages on your car needs urgent replacement

If you drive Hyundai and Kia products,and your car gear start from 3(limp mode),not selecting 1 and 2 ,get in touch with me,it is not a gear problem but ECU issue,a couple of component got defective, I will replace it and restore to factory standard.

If you drive Hyundai and Kia products and there is no crank,no start couple with loss of communication with scanner,it is an ECU problem,get in touch with me ,I will restore ECU to factory standard.

Don't yet get a replacement used ECU for over 250k,let me fix the defective board components.

I have 99% success rate and my fees are friendly.

So my car Camry 08 AC compressor have spoilt. The issue now is, it’s manual and makes my car vibrate a lot which I don’t like. I want to convert it back to automatic but the amount them are calling is crazy o. My question now is, can’t I get a manual compressor that is carry come for my engine? The ac man said yes, I can get a 2.4 capacity manual compressor (which comes with big daddy) but I still need to change condenser and all that stuff and flushing too. Still plenty money. My ac expert here, pls help, advice me.

If you can afford the 2.4 manual go for it sir, it very relaible for ur car but you still have to replace the condenser, expansion valve, and maybe some pipes plus flushing too no other way around execpt you just want to spend ur money twice on same thing. So ur ac man is right sha. But it ur choice to use. Dont buy Peugeot compressor because it will vibrate for sure

Please what can cause this pre collision warning light on a Toyota highlander

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Louiscars: 3:34am On Apr 06, 2025

A lot of things could cause this
- Sonar Sensors not working or not present
- your vehicle uses a forward facing camera right in front of the rear view mirror, that could cause that also
- Front Radar right under the Toyota emblem can also cause this
Most likely cause would be 1 or 3
A vehicle scan would be required to narrow down what is causing this

your car might have been an accident card fixed and sold in Nigeria, Do a Vin check to eliminate this.

I will tell you if your car has ever been in an accident, cos sometimes they fix the body but do not reset or replace the sensors

What's the color of the car?

As for maintenance, the truth is that if you don't want local mechanics to damage your car, you have to become a part time mechanic too.

Don't just give them your car, become knowledgeable about cars too.

Let me tell you how I did it when I got my first car then... Once the car had an issue, I would go on YouTube and type "what causes so so and so in 2007 Toyota corolla."

I would get many listings, then I would watch as much videos as possible to know what's causing the issue and how to fix.

Now, when I go to the mechanic, I simply direct them on what to do. And never let the mechanic just do what they want.

Congrats on getting a new car in this economy. You try. E no easy to cough out almost 14m to buy car. You try.

Don't allow mechanics to remove your thermostat. That will be the beginning of the end of the car.

thank you sir. What is a thermostat? Is that indomie? Cos someone advised to always stay with mechanics to make sure they don't tamper with it. The color of the car is black 🖤

It's a good piece of advice to always stay with mechanics when they are fixing your car.

Thermostat is not indomie. Catalytic converter is what mechanics call indomie.

My car is black. And the roof has faded due to excessive sun exposure. Because black absorbs heat.

I'll never buy a black car again in Nigeria. Because with just a little sun exposure, the interior of the car heats up. And you must use AC all the time.

This is true. It's my first car so I didn't know. I thought black would be more durable compare to other colors. Where can u locate the thermostat pls?
