HMMM u mean like 10 ltrs for every 1km Baba u wanna kill somebody?

GAZZUZZ:
10km - 1liter average

abilityC:
Ok looks good but im factoring in cars with 2.2/2.4 Engines e.g (Camry 2.4 and Pug 407 2.2) which should increase average consumption to assumed consumption at 14L/100km

iyaegin:
The General assumption is that whatever amount you spend as cost or total trips within a Monday- sunday Uber week should come to a minimum of ×2.5 Or x3 of what you spend on fuel.some using corolla even boast of x4 but inside that you still have to factor fuel for the fresh week.
I currently use a PUG 407 2.2 and fuel has been a major headache as the car is doing 18ltr/100km instead of an expected 10-12ltr/100km I changed my O2 sensor yesterday but yet to see marked improvement as yet but I just discovered the cat con was also removed but people and analysis seem to show it does not affect fueling but i would know by Saturday. SO What ave been doing is I take note of every fuel purchase for the week as against total recorded Uber trips right now am on x2 so am seriously struggling in my own case .
Hope that should be a better way for you to judge for your vehicle.although I also do a lot of personal trips of mine and am not a full time Uber driver...

GAZZUZZ:
6-8liters per liter average.

airconditioning is not that simple.
Replacing the compressor does not guarantee it will last long, a lot is involved. Most people are used to the crude method replacing parts. There is cause and effect. Effect could be a damaged compressor, but what is cause?

ayanola:
Normal theoretical troubleshooting steps though.............

Owoado:
If we can move on from this current debate it will really help a lot of us. Entparrot was trying to help, but didn't have to discredit or bring down Gazzuzz. If u can't afford hamburger, eat bread and akara. Doesn't mean the guy selling hamburger is wrong.

Carshopper:
I think what we fail to see or realise is for every specliased field there is always an INDUSTRY STANDARD.

If I come to meet u for legal advise, u will advise to an extent and charge me for further talks. It's just basic requirements ... man must chop

Romeo3:
Does that one look like who can advise anyone on anything?

Pls shut up if u don't have meaningful contributions... Did I mention ur name to give me answers. Nigerians like to carry anoda man matter for head like pure water sellers. How come?

abilityC:
Guys im trying to figure profitability or not please help me out.
55naira per Km
Car counsumes 14L per 100km
assuming fuel price is at 150

Hence 14 * 150 = 2100 (Fuel cost)
55 * 100 = 5500 (Gross earnings)
0.25 * 5500 = 1375 (Uber commission)

2100 + 1375 = 3475 (Assumed total cost)

5500-3475 = 2025 (Profit or assumed Net Earnings)
Does that mean to get 20,250 Naira profit i need to drive 1000 KM?

GAZZUZZ:
Since 10k has become a bone of contention, let me help you.

Tell your technician to provide you with the following information and I will tell you exactly what to change on your air-conditioning system that will make it function perfectly.

1.present Colour of compressor oil. E.g clear, light brown, dark.

2. Discharge all refrigerant, pull a vacuum @ 13psi on high and low side wait 3hours and record readings.

3. Pull vacuum again and recharge system with 0.5gramms of 134a refrigerant.

4. Start engine, record exact engine speed.

5. Turn on a/c leave to run for 2mins record engine spped.

6. Record values of a/c pressures on high and low side with ambient temperature @ 29-30degrees celcius.

7. Record values of a/c pressures on high and low side with ambient temperature @ 32-40degrees celcius.

8. Record cabin temp in number 6 above.

9. Record cabin temp in number 7 above.

10. Set engine speed to 2000rpm and record values of high and low sides of airconditioning.

11. Ensure coolant temp readings for every step is recorded.

12. if "2" above drops to about -1 to -6psi in three hours, install U.V dye in system, run airconditioning system for another 3hours then use U.V light to detect patches of U.V dye on a.c lines and compressor area. Record all results.

13. Disassemble glove of compartment, use electronic sniffer to check for leaks from evaporator.

14. Discharge all refrigerant, block off entry and exit points on a/c line to evaporator, pull vacuum and record values after 3hours.

15. Disconnect lines to compressor, block off lines, pull vacuum and record values after 20mins

16. Disconnect lines to condenser, pull vacuum and recored values. After 20mins

17. Do a visual inspection of fins of radiator and condenser. Clear all blockage.



You do not have to pay a diagnosis fee to me.

Just provide more info and I will tell you what the exact faulty parts are.

Greetings to everyone,

Please I need advise o; right now I have a 2008 corolla, highway mileage of 140,000 km, in a very good shape and maintenance through Toyota up to date. My plan is to ship it to Nigeria from Canada before year end and register the vehicle with ulber for a weekly pay of 25k.

My question is, if this car meets ulber standards and if a driver will be willing to pay 25K weekly?

Spunkalator:
The car is perfect for uber..Im sure the drivers will be very willing to pay 25k per week. Some are even ready to pay 35k per week..

rotormast:
Can you do 35? And what's your location Sir ?

ice4u999:
35k for real? Waoo then I better buy a second corolla then.
Thanks for this info

ofime123:
I will do 35k weekly with no story

entparrot:
Bros, actually Google might do u more good.

Don't be surprise all this analysis posted here, by GAZZUZZ might be copy and paste.

Whenever I have a problem with my car, I research via Google, those white mechanics post all information online free.

It was the information I gathered on Google, I was able to resolve most of my car problems without spending too much.

from my experiments and rough calculations it is good to use a 2008 corrola, but you can still maximize your capital and get double the return on your investment.

Let me explain further.

2008 corrola, market price about 3m.

Kia rio 2007-2009 market price 1.3-1.5m max

Delivery per week on both vehicles = same amount.

Why not sell corrola and buy 2 other brands not necessarily rio?
