Hello house, how much fuel should a car( V6 engine ) use going from Surulere to VI everyday use weekly?
Kindly help a brother out, I think my car is consuming fuel...
This is a vague question and practically impossible for anyone to answer.
V6 is just the number of cylinder an engine has in 2 banks. There are several several factors that determines fuel consumption among which are the following few:
External Factors
1. Tyre pressure, size and type
2. Traffic situation/road condition
3. Drive pattern
4. Weather condition
5. Load (which includes AC, Full Headlight, Defroster, Wipers, total weight of the car + occupants/otherwise amongst others)
6. Aerodynamics
7. Etc
Internal Factors
1. Engine displacement
2. Power band
3. Transmission
4. ECU operation
5. Oil weight
6. Engine condition
7. Etc

So you see, you might use ₦2,000 for car A, while car B takes ₦3,000. You need to be specific with the car you have in mind.

Please I have a question. How reliable is Ford Focus 2011?

Re: Car Talk Chat Room by mcPhuture(m): 7:10am On Jul 27, 2019
So, I woke up with an issue as I have a decision to make. I have an hoNDA civic 2007 with no issues but then an offer to purchase an Acura Mdx 2003 came up. The acura is super clean and spotless but has a gearbox issue even though its drivable but could break down at any time. My civic just needs a new spray (40k) and maybe servicing of the front legs (not more than 14k).

The offer is to drop my civic and add a 100k for the acura owning to the fact that I would fix the gearbox issue myself (cost about 150k asides workmanship). Do u think it's a good idea or I should stick to my 2007 HoNDA Civic?

Hi all,

I realised there is a need for us to have a thread where we can say it very loud. Hence, the creation of this room.

In this room, we can derail as much as we want, discuss off topics, etc.

But please, no derogatory words, sales, adverts, spams or posting. Other than these, fire on!

*Note that this room is not for posting our normal car issues and seeking solutions for them. We have the entire section, outside this room, for that.

Re: Car Talk Chat Room by jubrilar(m): 4:15pm On Jul 30, 2019
A friend of mine informed me about his colleagues car which he want me to buy because the car is very good . I went there with a mechanic. Though the mechanic complained about fuel pump and little things which he believes it will be resolved with little money. I was not convotable but my friend confused me that the car was good that he always drove the car and he know when he bought the car. I agreed base on my friend word which i transferred to his colleague. I asked my friend to brought the car home from Gbagada to mushin. On his arrival, I noticed the car was doing overheating.... I wanted to reject the car but my friend still insist that the issue is minor. I have spend 40k so far to service and change something and the issue is yet to be resolved. Please advise me on what to do.

Should i contact the owner to return my money if it will be possible or request for money to sort out the issue as the mechanic told us that we need to replace the catalyst of the car and other things which I didn't plan to spend. The car is Toyota big dadday 2003 and he sold it 800k for me.

2azfe (4 cylinder)

The engine burns oil like kilode

The engine experiences stripped head bolt at the firewall ßide failure to notice on time the thing go dey vomit oil especially when engine is hot or warm.

Overheating if not tackled early can render the engine useless. unlucky you, it is an aluminum engine they don't fair well with overheating.

engine cost 250k or above depending on source and peripherals attached.

As for your question,it's your money and when water pass Garri nah you go still face am so make your choice. Besides wife wey you don marry you come tell your in-laws say she no fit dance well for bed say you wan return am collect bride price, yoruba call am Oro rurun grin

Pls and pls my people, help me out with some clarifications.

When buying a car, especially Nigerian used cars (hand to hand), what are the things to put into considerations, what to take note of that you won't end up buying scraps and won't buy a stolen car. How are u going to be sure the person selling it is the owner and the car not a stolen vehicle ? And even after purchase, what are the steps to take for me to change the ownership to mine?

Then what is it about this mileage of a thing that they always talks about as increasing or decreasing over years.. Pls help a sister who is a novice and doesn't know anything about car....plssss. Pls just tell me everything I should know before purchase so as to be on a safer side.


Note: I don't have any man around me here that can put me through, as all of them are afar off.


Thanks.

What's your location and vehicle you are interested in?
With that, we can recommend mechanics here to carry out pre purchase inspection at a cost...

Hello everyone

Which should I buy?: 2007 Toyota Avaln vs 2007 Toyota Corolla
I want to buy a car in the near future and I am turn between an Avalon and a Corolla 2007. Based on my price review on Jiji, both vehicle are within the same price range of N1.8million - N2.2million for foreign use depending on condition and seller.

I'll like to ask Nairalanders who have experience using any of these cars to advice which will be better for a personal user with no plans for long distance travel or ride hailing.

My key concern is aroung.
1. Cost of servicing
2. Repairs and maintenance.
3. Fuel consumption
4. Overall driving experience.

Thanks for you feedbacks

Please I have an issue with my car. I am a learner , while driving I discovered that the steering and the brake will just suddenly become stiff if I try to press the brake it will be very hard to press not until I put off the engine and restart before it becomes normal. Can anyone educate me on what is happening with my car ?
