As the elected mouthpiece for GAZZUZZ....... Simply because the car is not going to be in Lagos..... It's heading east-bound ......

Scammer:

I never said the car is going to the east.
I live in Lagos.
I am not paying duty on this car, so i am not shipping it to Lagos, I am shipping it to Benin, Popularly known as Cotonou, I see most people don't know Benin is the country and Cotonou is just a city.
Car will come through the land border to Lagos.
Understand now?

Lexusgs430:


Now you make yourself clearer....... Some of us are getting too old for street lingos .......

I thought we had a place in Nigeria, called Benin ?

spartacus11:

Nigeria Benin is pronounce -- Bini

Cotonou Benin is pronounce --- Ben-nel

Same spelling different pronunciation

But just to bring it to your attention, land border has been closed and cars can only be smuggled through Benin Republic, except you want to get the car into naija fast and furious style or Rambo style using long bow apache.

I have a 2016 Avalon limited which was flooded in texas, Coming to lagos soon.
It's a non Starter.

Which competent Auto engineer here Is competent enough to take on this repair Project.
It wasn't heavily submerged.

I've heard names of engineers here like gazuz, mayor and co.

I know labor won't be cheap, but i'm ready if the price is quite reasonable.

GAZZUZZ:


which competent technician will follow u to another country to start a car? I dont see u towing it across the border.
I dont see the point of the thread.

Scammer:

Lets just leave how it arrives to ourselves and stick to the topic.

saintjoel:




Just the same thing I was about to ask him, how will he get a nonstarter across the border. The only option you've is to separate the car into different components,ship as spare parts and clear for a cheaper price at Tincan.

Don't be too sure that customs won't come after you inside Lagos, we've seen them jumping fences in Festac and a friend's 2011 Benz E350 was impounded around toyin street, just last week.

Nna this is a terrifying new dimension. Are you saying that these customs men now leap over tall fences with a single bound like Superman, in order to seize escapee cars ?

The op really clarified himself with his recent post of his car landing at Benin republic (Cotonou)-not Benin state, which was the best location to have his car fixed.

.....it's not as bad as we think I believe strongly that if U park a flooded non starter in sun for 10 days in Northern Nigeria, drain oil, refilland start, it will start. The sun and heat had dried all the water ingress ha ha ha

Jakumo:
With some flood-damaged cars it may become necessary to REMOVE THE ENGINE and have the crank-case and cylinder heads opened up to check for head gasket damage, and water damage to bearings and such. If the vehicle was NOT running when it was flooded, the engine may only require an engine oil and oil filter change, along with a transmission fluid and filter replacement, to restore normal operation of the car.

If, on the other hand, the car's engine WAS running during the flooding incident, and thus ingested water via the intake manifold, then MAJOR irreversible damage to the engine is guaranteed. If any attempt was made AFTER the flooding incident to start the engine WITHOUT first expelling water by removing the spark plugs and turning over the starter, the engine could also be damaged beyond repair already.

Even for those cars which were fortunately NOT running during the flood, it is NOT enough to simply open the drain-plug in the engine-oil sump, to remove water that leaked into that oil-only crank case, before re-filling with fresh engine oil. In many cars that get flooded, the sump MUST BE REMOVED, to drain the dregs of water and sludge in the engine that WILL remain in the sump, even after the drain plug is opened and apparently "empty". That remaining soup of oil and water can ONLY be drained by taking off the sump completely.

Youtube videos correctly advise to remove the spark plugs and turn the engine over with the starter, to expel any water that might be in the cylinders. The video tutorials also advise replacing all fluids in the car, from the engine to the transmission, and even the axles, in cars that have been submerged in flood waters. Oddly enough though, I have not as yet run across a Youtube tutorial that discusses the importance of removing the sump, to drain all residual watery sludge in a flooded engine.
