It depends on what is wrong. That one changed his compressor but you might not have to. Would have to see it first.

Do you think it was wrong for me to have rebuilt the engine? I did that because I was advised that buying a tokunbo engine may not be worth it
No! I love that you did. I'm a vocal supporter of rebuild

please I need expert opinion. my Mitsubishi Chariot (GDI) suddenly stopped after a sound while on motion. called my mechanic who informed me that the Timing belt has cut and that I have to buy a new engine. please is this in line because the price he's quoting for a tokunbo engine don weak me
No. It probably bent valves and that's all it needs. It's labor intensive but should be cheaper than buying a new engine. Take it for a second opinion if possible.

So sad
But then, would they spend that amount in the states for repairs even with kazeems?
It wasn't at once naa. You fix one thing, e no work, fix another, etc. Na Canadian woman and Nigerian man wey tey for Germany 25 years. When you start and you get to a certain point, easier to keep going than stop.

Dem journey don end with us Sha. We ordered the u joints and will fix the problem.

Good evening gurus

Please help me out here:

2003 Toyota highlander awd v6

I travelled and my wife has been driving my car for the past week, just got back home and as I started the car, it didn't sound right so I scanned it and got the following codes:

P2196 sensor signal biased/stuck rich bank 1 sensor 1 Oxygen sensors

P0300 random/multiple misfire detected possibly change spark plugs

P0301 cylinder 1 misfire detected spark plugs

P0303 cylinder 3 misfire detected possibly change spark plugs

P0305 cylinder 5 misfire detected possibly change spark plugs

P0172 System too rich bank 1 Oxygen sensors/clean fuel filter and/or tank

P0174 system too lean bank 2 Oxygen sensors/clean fuel filter and/or tank


Please advise on the meaning of each code and possible fixes. 


Also, there was a smell as if something is burning - I started the car soon as soon as my wife returned with it so engine was still hot.

Very touching story today at the shop. Couple just returned to Nigeria under a year. Gave "friend" money to buy a car with 4x4 for them. Have so far spent N1.8m on repairs with kazeems including THE FUEL TANK FALLING OUT WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING shocked

Most recent repair two weeks ago was supposedly bushings, CV axles and gear oil serviced SMH.

Original complaint was noise in suspension. We discovered the problem was the U-joints which cost less than N3,650 each and the bushings were never changed. Also, check out the recently serviced gear oil angry

Why are people like thishuh angry

Hello madam Radu sent a mail to you and copied your service team over 5 hrs ago , no one has responded.
If I tell you that I never got to sit for more than 3 minutes today you won't believe. We had to turn away cars and schedule appointments. You'll get a response tomorrow. There was a NLer who can bear witness.

I went to a place to scan it a week ago, that was when they gave me these code and advised I go take a specialist to get it fixed

b1615 and b1811
I know. The first one was easy. The second one can be caused by two different things. To quote you I need to know which it is which is why I gave you the instructions. If not, you need to bring it, I can determine which it is and then do an estimate.
