Kewtt:
Are they not the same? But upstream Bank 1 sensor 1 price??

Reflex. I always ask that with O2 sensors before I even check. For this, yes they are.

Two options:
BOSCH Universal Oxygen Sensor 2 required N40,515 6 month warranty http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=OXY&partNumber=15733

Or

Red Line Universal Oxygen Sensor 2 Required N17,155 replacement at our discretion http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=OXR&partNumber=CX15733

By the way, is this for commercial or personal use because it makes a difference?

Not so fast! Lol

All I can say is if any of my employees EVER hung up on a customer no matter how rude,, they would immediately be fired.

Would be all over this if your franchise didn't have its own training. Nice! Need more of this.

Kewtt:
Do you have the O2 sensor for 2001 Mercedes Benz E 320?

Upstream or downstream? Both available 6-10 day delivery

radautoworks:
For the first couple of months, orders can be called in but will have to be picked up physically. By January 2019 (hopefully sooner), we intend to expand our options.

Free Nationwide shipping for orders over 45k now.

radautoworks:
Yes we will. We are also working out if they can build in online ordering for commercial accounts here. The biggest issue is the currency exchange.

Ready to open your commercial account if you want. Send me a couple of items for commercial pricing. Support@radautoworks.com

uwemjack:
That was me!
Nice set up and a lot of critical car parts and accessories, oils, grease etc. Met your hubby too and would hold him to that Jamaican lunch.

Will be there next week to pick up my items.
Oh and safe delivery

All the lifts and alignment rack are in now and it's looks different again from when past you saw it :9

We are also doing free Nationwide shipping for orders over 45k.

EgunMogaji:
There is a subculture of car culture that crave old cars. Old rear wheel drive Japanese cars are considered iconic.

This one is a prime example because it is still intact and original. It hasn't been "modernized".

I would buy that

Partnerbiz:
Parts cheaper cos they are fake parts.

Not any more. Check out our thread

divinelove:
while it is not an abomination but I know it will not happen in Nigeria even in the next 100yrs

We'll just run it from behind the scenes then

divinelove:

did u say last for years lol

it depends on quality of parts, the nature of road n frequency of car usage.

anyway I will never advise my enemy to buy anything Honda not when rugged Toyota is still in d market.

op simply wants to learn the hard way DTS why he still dey price Honda cars.

Toyota Camry n corolla 1994 to 1998 anyone his budget can afford or better still a Carina e is what he needs

Yes, years. Which is why in the US we offer a lifetime warranty on our ball joints and in Nigeria for now we offer a one or two year warranty.

Honda and Toyota in general are both good options but each does have one or two models to stay away from.

After crunching some numbers, we are going to experiment with free parts delivery within Nigeria.

ORDERS OVER 45K WILL RECEIVE FREE SHIPPING WITHIN THE COUNTRY.

GAZZUZZ:
sometimes I'm not in the mood.

You really shouldn't call yourself a zebra. Believe you're the lion!

AutoElectNG:
Decline the job....the margins on the parts are already small...the gains on labor wiped out...so you are not working for free, but working at a loss

Not a way to do business... Sustainable business

Which raises the question of defining and refining your target market

Everyone cannot be your client

Aggressively court those who can be

Let alone the rest

that was my take too. not all business is good business. There was no way they were going to get all that work done elsewhere for that price with warranty. they acknowleged as much but just felt they should have a discount. brakes, struts AND oxygen sensors?

One of the hurdles we expected to have was the haggling mentality here. It will cost us business in the beginning but when you are transparent and fairly and consistently priced, there is no room for haggling.

WHAT IS THIS OBSESSION ON NAIRALAND WITH "REPLACE ENGINE" AND "REPLACE COMPRESSOR/CONDENSER"??

Most of the time, that is not necessary and is only recommended because they either can't or won't diagnose what actual component in the system is causing the problem so they just replace the whole system.

Rebuilds only take 2-3 days unless there is a parts delay

e.g. other recommendation on here ( sight unseen I might add) was 300k engine replacement. Actual solution only cost 113k and did NOT require an engine replacement SMH.

I've attached a picture of the supposed 300k engine replacement problem. Yes, you are seeing right. Someone used SOCKET TOOLS as a part in the engine

They also used a knockoff two layer gasket instead of three.

oh, and did I mention diagnosis was FREE with the repair?

Emperoh:
I agree with this guy. Copart runs what looks like a rigged system. Someone wins a bid, but seller is unhappy with price. He relists the car and prebid starts again at the winning price of live auction. That's nonsense! Cars are over priced too. My first option will remain IAAI. There decently priced bids from Copart, but those are few and far between.

i'm actually female..

GAZZUZZ:
It's not a pissing contest. Your recommendation will not work. Overfill can cause smoke, but to go as far as soaking spark plugs, the flow of oil is in combustion chamber. (Piston rings, valve stem seals) over fill will cause a mixture of air and engine oil from into intake from PCV. Stick with your marketing work, you are doing a good job at it.



Did you pour more than 4 liters of engine oil in your engine sir?

I said you could have your thread lol. I don't know much... I've only had multi-national repair shops for about 10 years and my husband has only been ASE certified for 35 and a mercedes lead tech for 5 of them. Obviously we are only doing what little we can.

I'm just trying to help people. If you look on our thread, you will see we encourage people to share information about other sellers and mechanics that are reputable in our thread since it is about the PEOPLE. I'm not even in the same state as you.. But then again, people used to bring their cars to us from Louisiana and we were in Texas....

GAZZUZZ:
Madam please quote the right person.

Please open a thread to Give car advice.

Oh, I thought it was about helping people. If you feel threatened, not a problem. We won't intrude again when you're involved. We typically don't diagnose by sight unseen guesswork anyway but this was way too obvious

[quote author=kollistic post=69763550]Wow! I do not even have an idea the one mine is[/quote

simply provide VIN

GAZZUZZ:
what oil was in it before now? What oil is in it now?

Too much oil put in last oil change. Flooded the plugs. Drain and Redo.

silver. American rules, you hit from behind, it's your fault period unless the person stopped and backed up. Do I always agree, no. But the law is the law. There's such a thing as defensive driving which obviously silver did not do. (Though I might add I'll probably have done the same thing )

ebuks4ever:
The V6 engine
Recommended engine oil SAE 5w30 (Capacity is 3.5quarts)
Recommended ATF is Nissan Matic J or Matic K
The initial fill is not specified.

The ATF should be changed after 30,000km or 3years, whichever comes first.

Genuine NISSAN Automatic Transmission Fluid Matic D 9.00 qt 3.3L Eng,4WD


Genuine NISSAN Automatic Transmission Fluid Matic D 8.75 qt 3.3L Eng,RWD

did he solve this or not?

Kewtt:
Overheating

if that's it, you don't need an engine. what other symptoms?

my two cents, most of the time better to rebuild the one you have than replace.

gbam. now here's the challenge. 20 minutes next time

delec002:
Oga Gazzuzz

Still on the Scan result, you are not causing any confusion please, just need to know likely things to check out for as i dont often like the engine to be touch please and will take ur advise or changing to Mobil 1 henceforth

Kindly advice likely thing to check out for.

"P0300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire
P0301 - Random/Multiple Cylinder 1 Misfire
P0303 - Random/Multiple Cylinder 3 Misfire
P0171 - System too lean Bank 1
P0037 - HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low Bank 1 sensor 2"

if those are the codes you got, all you need is a full tune-up and maybe oxygen sensors.

Hi, how much is Toyota ATF Type T -IV and shocks for 03 Toyota Camry?

Hello,

Monroe Ride Control OESpectrum Strut Front N56,210 each 1 year warranty http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=MON&partNumber=71491 IN STOCK

Monroe Ride Control OESpectrum Strut Rear N55,115 each 1 year warranty http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=MON&partNumber=71493 IN STOCK

Having had licenses at all three for years, I can tell you that the cars at iaai were usually better priced because they are more stringent. Going a few days before to sabotage a car you're interested in is a common practice at Copart. Things like removing a fuse here, taking the keys and locking the car, etc.

Bottom line with any auction is if you cannot have a trusted mechanic physically go to check the car before the auctions, you have no business getting involved.

Olumyyde:
OK sir,can I see d interior pls? Also, how much do u change the ball joints every 3 months like u stated?

DO NOT BUY THAT CAR. IT HAS A MAJOR ISSUE WHICH IS WHY THE REPEATED BALL JOINT FAILURE. BALL JOINTS SHOULD LAST YEARS NOT MONTHS EVEN WITH BAD ROADS.

you never answered my question about looking up the costs for the maintenance list I gave you.

thaqib:
The main reason why I want to change my Camry 2001 is because of the terrible shocks and appendages. I also have a good experience with Toyota corolla for it's superb wheels. However ,I want a little change from the routine so I am asking if Toyota matrix has good shocks/wheel like corolla and also cheap part. I m not doing any all wheel drive...

They come off the same assembly lines so yes, many are there same. They also used to share some parts with Pontiac vibe.

Hello Mr Gazzuzz,
I have a fuel consumption issue with my 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6 car. I've changed Air flow meter, changed brain box twice ( first was due to the car not starting, no shock and more.. Second was due to excessive black smoke coming out from the exhaust pipe) I changed the engine completely after the first brainbox experience and engine knock issues. Bought a tokunbo Japan Engine last year. After changing the engine and getting the second brainbox, the black smoke experience was gone, exhaust looks clean and dry, yet the consumption is crazy. A 13ltrs 2,000 naira fuel can only run for 40km in my car. There's no Check Engine Indicator ON on my dashboard. Please what else can I do? What can be the cause? How can I fix this issue of consumption? What needs to be changed/fixed?. I'd appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

If you're in Lagos, bring the car to us.
