Nope, not same car. First was a Clk 230k, second the w211.

Come to think of it, no Kazeem in my area will fix your A.C if you're unwilling to change the condenser/dryer. It's like an unwritten rule.

Good to know that a proper flush can save us more money.
Hallmark of people who don't know what they are doing so they change the whole system figuring they'll catch the problem.

Curious how much it cost you for new manual and installation both times.

If that's the case,I'll buy from you over and over grin
It's always the case. Or you guys forgot when a certain someone bought one that was defective and we gave him store credit when he didn't want a replacement? In US we give lifetime on the compressors if you get the full kit and replace what you are supposed to.

Thanks for your response. The car is scanned now and some error codes has been reset. The only thing the rewire did after the scan is that, he service some part of the gear and clean it with injector cleaner but my gear still need great or much speed to select to 3,4 n 5. Gear 1 and 2 select well though. The rewire and the Mech told me to use it more maybe it will all select well, but nothing happen to the gear according to the scan. Thanks so much
Change shops because there is no such thing

Good morning House, I tried resetting the time in my CRV 2004 and pressed the buttons as directed in the manual, now the radio isn't working and just showing '0000' on the screen when powered on. How do I get it working please?
Look for a sticker in your glovebox. That's your radio code and simply enter it

Why not.. If not?? grin grin
Because it messes up your electrical system and depending on how badly it was done, causes vibration and stress in the car.

I once went to an ac technician for a compressor replacement,guess what? 95% of people who came there choose the Manual option. Not after hearing if e pick you can't return it after installation. Meaning OYO undecided
Except that ours have warranties grin

Oga Lejeun I greet you. I understand thebigkendo and Aunty Rad's concerns and the true position is replacing a bad automatic compressor in a luxury vehicle with an OEM/Genuine one will cost an average of 170—200k, minus the aftermarket Condenser/dryer and possible expansion valve, freon and workmanship.

Not many Nigerians can afford to spend that much at a go for a convenience feature that can be properly Kazeemed, I fall within this category.

Been there twice, went for the manual compressor with a relay twice.
Will I do it again?
On the same car? And as previously mentioned, it's a myth created by kazeems that a condenser is necessary. All that's necessary is the expansion valve/orifice time tube and flushing the system. O-rings are recommended but not compulsory.

Edit: wow I had some typos first time around!

Majority of them aren't putting in new compressors tho....

Yes, but they are putting in manual compressors used or new which will not work with the original condensers connections hence the recommendation

LeJeun3:


A quick question, would you normally replace a compressor without replacing the condenser as well?!

Or otherwise put, when does a car require a condenser change?!

I watched the video...


Yes, a condenser change is not necessary when doing a compressor except when there is blockage.

We hardly ever changed condensers in the USA and were puzzled when we got here. Now we know why SMH.

[b]

It is obvious that their economic system is designed to keep people enslaved for life. Imagine a person earning $5000 per month after taxes will still be audited if he/she makes a purchase of $10,000 or more. The system don't expect people to save money? What is wrong in saving 2 month salary every year?
You don't get audited for spending 10k. You get audited for an irregular spending pattern especially if it involves an international transaction because that's how terrorism gets funded. I move more than all the time and never had a problem. Don't forget they have access to all your accounts so if you never spend remotely close and then all of a sudden you have that kind of purchase you might attract attention. Sometimes even the bank will put a hold on your account whole your come explain what's up.

It's also to protect you and make sure someone isn't siphoning your account.

That Airpeace Chairman's US Indictment.

From the desk of Nat Cole:

After reading the press release on the US indictment of Airpeace Chairman, his initial response or reaction and his Nigeria Attorney's Office Press Release I find the case interesting especially as an Anti Money Laundering Specialist. I find the indictment of Onyema very problematic. I read his short response and his attorney's press release to the charges and I find both to be even more .....

that I am wrong about this. Unfortunately the image of the Nigerian business man continues to be battered even before their guilt or innocence is established. The reality is that this case may be a good candidate for plea bargain in my opinion.
Please chop knuckle. I didn't have the energy to start explain how things work. Thank you. Those of us that live there know that all the other arguments are moot. There is no "white man" issue here. Fake docs=your ass is grass
