When my friends use to say no complete car I thought he was lying even just this morning my traficator light stop working major things to change will be oil and tires
Sure it's not just the bulb which is less than N2,000?

Oil change is something we love to delay in Nigeria but shortens the life of an engine fast

Mine is Steering Beam which I have changed like 3yimes after a while the Steering goes back to being stiff again. My mechanic said I should change the Power Steering Pump. Don't know what to do again.

And he was same person that said it's the Steering Beam.
Take to different shop for accurate diagnosis

Mine is the front hub, Highlander 2002. I have had this recurrent issues with my hub. If I change the bearings within 3 months the noise is back. I changed the full hub the same thing. I just kukuma block my ear to the noise for now until am able to get an option that would last me some time. Please any suggestions guys?
Yes. Take it for a proper diagnosis at a different shop from your usual. They are obviously missing the actual problem.

I don't even have the fund to replace the rack now. And I'm spending so much on the steering fluid which cost 1K daily basis.

The Mechanic adviced that I can use normal engine oil ( 200naira) and he gave some oil too ( it seems like a used Gear oil). Just got the main time. I just hope I don't cause more problems or harm to my poor Car.

This Economy dey somehow low for now..

You really need to park this car too you can fix it. Your mechanic is killing it

Good Evening guys.
I really need answers as I’m torn between Mercedes Benz and Audi.
I need a sedan and I’ve narrowed my options to these two.

2007-2008 Audi A6 Vs 2008 C class

2007-2009 Audi Q7 Vs 2007-2009 ML

Which should I go for?
Lastly, I can see the A8 is an executive vehicle. I want to know if it’s wise getting the 2006-2009 version.

All cars are tokumbo with low and decent mileage.
Audi is maintenance hell. Nice until you need maintenance

Sadly, some hardworking US citizens might have to suffer for it with their hard earned money(taxes).
I respect your right to disagree as well. Now why can't the rest of the country do the same?

The government does not create money...the citizens are the ones that pay taxes(money) to the government to use that same money for their needs and not necessary for other people needs that do not pay into it.

See how Canada is not struggling with their asylum crisis after telling all those that left the US through the US-Canada border to come to them with open arms when trump got though on asylum seeker in the US.

https://www.nairaland.com/4820718/canada-deport-asylum-seekers-walked
Umm... Actually, the government DOES create money lol. It's called the treasury. They also "create" money by charging taxes and printing it as necessary but these dumbasses would rather keep it and reduce taxes leaving the government with less money and the elites with more. As a business owner you would think I would like this. No. The amount we were paying was not unfair and I am willing to pay taxes for the greater good. You never know what can happen and God forbid but one day I or someone I know might need the services I am paying for.

Everyone keeps touting how wonderful the services Scandinavian countries have are. Go find out how much they pay in taxes. And they do it happily and they all benefit.

Do I also need to point out that while I love America, the USA caused the instability in a lot of the countries of the asylum seekers? So go ahead and "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

Taal17:
How does that work though?
You can't compare
Where do you house that many people coming pending asylum case approvals? The costs for verifying and vetting cases who bares that? Even deportation (if they ever find them) comes at a cost.
The filing burden nko? The backlogs for USCIS and NVC are bad enough.

People are organising themselves via whatsapp groups and Facebook, so this is just the beginning it's a very erious matter that will soon become a security and healthcare burden for the countries in between.
They find it very easy to find places to incarcerate minorities and displaced immigrant children they separated from their parents. They make quite a lot of money doing it actually. So yeah, I think they can figure out where to put 3,500 people temporarily.

Kind of like the argument of where to find money for special programs. The same place they find money for that massive war mongering budget whose well never seems to run dry.

Frequent overheating or sweet odor from engine?

COOLANT. Your car needs it not just water.

Available for all cars in both concentrate and pre-mixed.

COOLING SYSTEM
What is it?
The cooling system regulates your engine’s temperature and helps keep it from over heating. The system consists of a water pump, cooling fan, coolant reservoir, radiator, thermostat and hoses.

What does it do?
The main components of the cooling system work together to keep the engine and the transmission cool. The coolant travels through the engine via the water pump. While traveling, it absorbs the engine’s heat then takes that heat to the radiator. The radiator then releases he heat to the air that passes through it. If one component is not Road Ready, the system as a whole cannot function properly. This can lead to expensive engine or transmission repairs.

Preventative Maintenance
The cooling system should be serviced annually or according to your owner’s manual specifications. Most cooling system rubber hoses burst from the inside out. Contaminants and residue build up throughout the cooling system. As the coolant gets dirtier and the system becomes contaminated, it cannot efficiently cool the engine. A cooling system flush is recommended to prevent overheating and
prevent damage to your engine. A flush will remove the residue and built up contaminants that prohibit efficient cooling of the engine.

Typical Wear and Tear
The most common form of wear and tear within the cooling system is the aging of the coolant and hoses. As the coolant ages, the compounds within it break down and cannot effectively cool the engine. Old coolant can also cause corrosion of the system components. The cooling system components
also age and can break and cause failure within the entire system.

Symptoms
•Frequent overheating
•Sweet smell or odor coming from engine
•Coolant leakage
•Frequent need to replenish engine coolant

SERVICE OPTIONS
Good
Cooling System Service
•Remove contaminated fluid
•Replace with recommended coolant
• Pressure check system

Better
Cooling System Flush Plus Chemical Cleaner
•Remove contaminated fluid
• Flush system with chemical cleaner*
•Replace with recommended coolant
• Pressure check the system

Best
Cooling System Flush Plus Chemical Cleaner
Plus Conditioner
•Remove contaminated fluid
• Flush system with chemical cleaner*
•Replace with recommended coolant
• Conditioner added to system**

*Chemical cleaner safely removes contaminated
deposits and scale that restricts heat transfer
**Conditioner helps coat and protect cooling system
components and lubricates water pump and thermostat.


When to Service
If your vehicle has experienced overheating you should have it inspected immediately. A cooling system service is also recommended at regular intervals according to your vehicle’s specifications. Hoses should
be replaced once every two years or as required.

Benefits of Service
•More efficient cooling system
•Prevents damage to engine and transmission
•Extends life of radiator, water pump and
engine block by maintaining proper pH
levels and preventing corrosion
