Mine ehen is 3 much, but right now car is parked till further notice, master clutch cylinder has packed up, it's been giving signs but I kept on managing and postponing repair as money no gree enter, until it final stopped working, clutch pedal just went flat in motion. Thank God I wasn't on high speed. Managed to put it to a stop without hitting anyone. And it's very scarce to find. Car is a Suzuki sx4 2010model. Front shock absorbers need to be changed, shaft, ball joint and linkage, radiator also needs to be changed, all na cos of ambode bad roads. |

abibun:O boy....that is not a good look at all ...I had similar issues with my elantra ...the oil was shorten and there is was no leak to be found.. My driver kept topping oil every three weeks ,after a month.. The topping turn to every week or so .. Omo I had to ring the engine ... So in your case omo u have to either ring the engine or buy new engine... those cars require proper maintenance, and most Nigerians can't maintain regular Toyota cars ,so na luxury cars dey want maintain... goodluck bro.. Wish u the best |

santiagoz:Thanks for the mention radautoworks. Does the check engine light blink? Was the airbag light always on or it came up after some incident? If yes, what incident. Have you obtained any DTCs? Where in Abuja are you based? |

Sankabson:What do think ASE study guides say is the most important system is on a car for safety? Steering. Prioritize this repair, if you place premium on your life and that of others. |

Country is hard for everyone. Don't be so quick to judge. This thread does tell me to steer clear of Nigerian used cars, though. Poor maintenance culture is in us all. ![]() Even the issues that are fixed are usually poorly done. Just this week, I've been hit with a failing battery and a leak in my HVAC. Replacement battery bought, AC to be fixed over the weekend. |

You should speak for yourself. I see some on here that should be managing molue instead. |

Kewtt:if you're lucky to get a mechanic that has access to butchers. Accidented vehicle, I mean cars that crashed and the owner lost hope in it. These mechs harvest vital parts and sell. Follow come engines original 02 sensor, it's usually removed cos of it's intrinsic value. You might be lucky to get a good mech n price. Most mechs do buy these parts from these sources |
