Again, take out somewhere else. Your mechanic is the problem.

Please I will need your expertise advise on the 2010 acura MDX. How thirsty is it in terms of oil consumption? How cost effective is the maintenance? And what is the reliability in the long run.

Base on your experience is it popular and a good buy?

My brother I have owned and maintained car when I was jobless, when I was earning 19800 as a corper and when hustling was the only job available to omo boy.

The way is not to buy a Bugatti with a budget of Kia Rio, MERCEDES ON TOYOTA BUDGET nothing good comes out of it.

......

I didn't spend 100k on the car in a year and for 6years I have only had 1 highway breakdown due to fuel pump failure and no lastma or police obtained me though I paid 1500 to the area boys that help me push the car to safety grin

[color=royalblue]Closed mind?

I have had flats few times on highways. And all I do is find a safe place to park. Read signs if there are any, and no one will obtain you

And I don't understand why you should be hitting someone. If you hit someone's car, the insurance should take care of it(third party or comprehensive).

And if you hit a human being few times in a year, you need medical help

ronkusesther:
Autel MaxiCOM MK808TS is in my care bought brand new from USA and its total cost is N280,000.

I can say that it is a very effective auto diagnostic scanner. I know there are some lesser while there are
some higher in price of the Autel MaxiCOM MK808TS but let us have yours and your recommendation.

Gazzuzz, show us your own that your customers know you with and as well recommend any other one
for us. Shame those saying you use calculator-like scanner.

You're 100% right. Someone will soon give you a prize for your profound wisdom and exposing me for the sham I am. KUDOS!

What could be responsible for noise coming from the side of tyres of Honda Pilot while driving. What causes the check engine to be on. Why is the symbol of a spammer o the dashboard. Why should the AC make noise while it’s increased to the highest
Please go get your car scanned asap and post results

BigSteph:
Hey guys, please my Toyota Camry 2010 is trying everything possible to kill me. I have serviced the injector twice this month alone and it still keeps rough idling. A mechanic told me its a wiring or battery issue while another said its the injector. He's insisted i change it altogether. Please i'm confused. This car runs well when i'm speeding but has a terrible idle in traffic, which is inevitable in Lagos.
A trick i deployed last week is to switch to 'Neutral' when in traffic. it steadies the engine but goes rough again when i switch to 'Drive'.
It could be any number of things. Even your motor mounts. You need to have it scanned and checked thoroughly at a good shop.

I looked at the Anchor brand (Anchor 9247) and didn't like the reviews I found online. From early failures to vibrations...

Okay o but we swear by anchor and Moog. That's why we offer the warranties we do.

Just did 40miles n d lights are back... please any good mechanic at Asaba?
Don't know. Just clean all parts of fuel system. Basically all the parts mentioned in the scan. That should fix it. You might also need new spark plugs but try cleaning them first.

And how much have you spent so far on all the ones you've bought.
Piyke:
Some updates....

So the used OEM finally broke and I replaced it with the the below...



Alas, the 'reputable aftermarket' had some vibration when at a stop with the transmission in D and AC on (e.g. At a red light). I just didn't like the Fred Flinstone massage angry.

To be honest, it wasn't that pronounced but certainly not something I could leave with. Drove it for some months and finally decided enough is enough. Yesterday, I switched back to used OEM again and it's all nice and smooth smiley. The rough massager wasn't broken when I brought it out. It was still good.

Everybody is fighting for there pocket Ma.

I read here one time when you said you change shocks for 2500 per 30 minutes and that a shock takes an average of 1 hour 30 minutes. So changing all shocks is 30,000 naira excluding price of shocks lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

My mech charged me 4000 last week to change all. lipsrsealed lipsrsealed
Actually it's 10k-ish for most cars for all 4 shocks but shebi I don park na?

Save for a new engine in the meantime. Let someone quote for you so you can start saving now since you're joining the disposable engine school of thought.
