thank u sir, den what is d value of d serena?

I can only vouch for the 1991 to 2000 model year. Buy the 2.0L the 1.6L is under powered.

AWD against FWD if you intend to haul cargo as it has a live axle with leaf suspension. for price go to jiji and input Serena and then make a cost price from there.

Oga Gazzuzz, my Toyota 06 Highlander has brought up a new character. When I drive in a hold up and go into a freeway, the car does not pick quick enough. Sometimes, I will discover that, the acceleration pedal is already touching the floor of the car with very minimal speed produced.

Secondly, I took my car for a scan (check engine and VLC), they scanned and told me it is speed sensor. Took out the new one and replaced with tokunbo sensors. Ever since then, I now have brake, tyre, and all fault lights showing on my dashboard. Sometimes it will clear for a day, and return again afterwards.

for a four cylinder you should cover about 250km combined

for 6cylinder you should cover a little above 200km.

if everything is in stock form and Engine is in top condition

your reserve tank is still around 10 to 15littles on the first appearance of the reserve light

If your check engine light is on and you are using 20w50 and fan run direct then don't expect any great fuel economy.

Go and scan the car from a reputable technician shop

For where! Iyalaya Kazeem. It's in a bid to outsmart Kazeem we are here to get comparative facts. I'm first time car user so I'm a bit confused about the fuel economy. The CEL is on just like any other car with a mileage above 200,000. I plan servicing it today and see if there will be changes.

Yeah a 20 year old car in Nigeria will have "everything is in stock form and Engine in top condition"

Assuming everything is even in top condition.. Driving conditions in Nigeria will never allow one get factory spec.. Even on a brand new car talk more of a almost 20 year old car

It's a very simple double wishbone setup.

Buy original brand new parts, they are expensive, but will give you almost 100,000miles after instalation
