Parameters: Luxury, comfort and high speed stability.

okoroemeka:
that is the problem with using cars that are not popular in Nigeria some parts will be a problem to get,I remember when we got an 07 Dodge ram pickup V8 and some months down one of the Tyres got problem and we tried to loose it and 3 wheel nuts refused,a panel beater was called and he used blow torch to remove them,I went to onitsha to get a replacement stud bolt for the 3 damaged ones lo and behold I cannot get the wheel bolt and nut in a whole onitsha,what if the problem is the engine or transmission I asked myself,we sold the truck off the next week without looking backwards.

Hello guys,

I have been following this thread now and I have not seen anyone talk about Acura. Is it that the cars aren't good enough for our roads? I recently started taking note of the Acura Tsx and I am completely sold by our good looking and premium the car looks both exterior and interior. I have added it to the list of cars I will likely buy. But I really would love more info about the car and whether it is reliable, durable, and easy to maintain. It will be the first time I will be buying and owning a car.

My top picks are
Acura TSX 2006/07
Toyota Camry 2006 XLE
Lexus ES 330
Honda Accord 2007 EX-L.

Budget is around 2m for Toks only. I don't care much about speed. Looking out for Class, Reliability, Cost of Maintenance, Suitability with our roads (Benin City) and Aesthetics.

I have fair knowledge about the camry and lexus and Honda already as they are quite common on our roads. I just need someone to give me more insight about the Acura and how it holds up with the others. Thanks.

Thanks to everyone that contributed.

I have been able to narrow down the issue to Radiator fan not coming on when AC is switched on, reason for the fan being connected direct which has been given me poor fuel economy.

Before the last compressor got burnt, radiator fan works based on engine thermostat and whenever I switch the AC on, at times the fan picks(depending on the temperature) and later goes off. But does not work continuously most time when AC is on.

@radautoworks it is a Toyota camry 08 four plugs. I understand that the compressor has already been converted to manual even at that AC should be able to work without fan being connected direct.

@Kingreignn I am in Gboko(Benue State)

The help I need now is how to make my fan work when AC is switched on instead of it running continuously so that I can revert any connection done. Then the radiator fan will work base on the engine thermostat when AC is not switched on, then run continuously when AC is on.

Madam I have never disrespected you and I'll never do that. Please on this mattar, let's nor play the gender card, I can change my profile to female does not make me one, bobrisky changed his/her look does not make him less of a male. Everybody should learn self respect that's the key, I can't remember the last time I use words or get at loggerheads with anyone here. I don't tolerate injustice at any level, if it u
Is done to you, believe me, I'll stand for you even if it means my last breath... As far as I am concern, dis person in question is a mole with a questionable character and they do come in any form, so don't b to quick to place a gender on him/her. That's if you post is about the mole.

Hello gurus in the house, My Toyota sienna bus 2005 is consuming lots of fuel, pls what can I do to reduced it. Thanks

bodeface:
Team. Good evening.
Please, I want to service my car RX350 2011 for the first time since I bought it, my mechanic is recommending Mobil XHP 20W-50 instead of synthetic oil, he said since the engine has accumulated milage, (approx 100K) that the synthetic is not good for the engine.
Appreciate advice from senior members

Hello radautoworks, do you have a dynamometer in your shop? I just went through your Ig, i like your stuff.

Good Afternoon All.

Please my car has been seriously consuming fuel.
I bought it as a Nigerian used January 2019, when I bought the car, the thermostat has been removed with the fan connected direct, AC also converted to manual compressor.

I reverse the fan connection to factory setting, bought thermostat and everything has been working fine, after 5 months the AC compressor got burnt (the excuse of the technician then was that since my fan is not connected direct the manual compressor can retain heat reason why it got burnt), got a poeguet 406 compressor, after some months it started leaking and eventually got burnt.

Changed AC technician, the new guy bought big daddy compressor, changed condenser and Evaporator also recommended that I connect the fan direct else the compressor will get burnt again. After that my AC has been working fine but my car consumes fuel like mad. The fan is running direct with my thermostat still intact. No check engine light, I already scanned it no error code. Spark Plugs are burning fine.
Ltft is - 25% while STFT is between 3.5% and - 1.6%

Kindly help on what to do to reduce the fuel consumption.

Won't the compressor burn again if I return the fan to factory setup?

Car is Toyota camry 2008 I4.

Possibly it was a woman who replied you

I can bet with my balls

Yukov:
Why will he apologized? I still don't understand the op. Why create a topic here on nairaland on this small ish. To sack him?
I believe you are a woman cos a man can't be nagging this way.

Maybe he has been attending to customers orders prior to yours.
Maybe a lot of peopl have actually priced without buying from him (this actually can lead to frustration )
I will still repeat the same thing he said" if your enquiry is serious, you will have a particular one you want to buy" Kindly walk to their office if you are a serious buyer or ask him a precise question.

PuZZyNegro:
Didn't check

I thought what the problem is was shown in the image

Greetings house.
A special hailing to all the motor gurus in the house.
I drive a 2005 Honda Accord v6 which has been giving me headache of late. All 3 inner cylinders are refusing to fire after injectors were cleaned. The car has been scanned and rescanned but no codes are coming up. The Mech has been on this issue since morning but nothing to show for it, now he's saying it's an electrical fault.
Please anyone with an idea on what the issue might be should help out
