FineUsername: Yes, some weeks back; it was thoroughly clean. That's the problem. Electrical. Liquid touched something. That's an electrical circuit code. If instrument cluster is not giving strange readings for PRND, clear code and move on. Check back in a week to see if it reappears. |

Toyota Avalon 2003 Has it been scanned for any codes or why did you change all those parts? You've posted this in about five places and answered no follow up questions.

sultaan: Can we say for sure that other brands beat Ford in sales because they are impeccable or the possibility that buyers buy them because they expect the trade-in value or second hand value to be higher than Ford, with the possibilities that these values are dictated buy how much dealers shipping them overseas are bidding..
Toyota Land Cruiser is the top dogs of large SUV but yet they will stop production because there is no second hand demand at the current trade-in value.
Toyota and Honda cars do not have the same clout in Europe as they do in US, are they not more reliable than Volkswagen in Europe? Note: we're not saying other brands are impeccable either. Just stronger in the passenger segment. Yes we can because in the USA what determines resale value is after-sales maintenance cost and reliability. Popularity is third. The first two have cost Ford a great deal in warranty repairs. Note, the problem is not sales but profitability. They are forced to sell cheap because of reliability issues and then lose a lot of money on warranty claims hence the poor resale value. The only ones that do not do that are the aforementioned lines. The big/heavy duty engines will clock 300-400,000 miles easy and for some reason they also do not have as many electrical and finish issues as the smaller passenger lines. Asian cars contrary to popular belief DO have a strong presence in Europe. The only market growing for Ford is Africa. Why? Because historically car manufacturers strip their models and dump their worst specs here so to us the average Ford is "loaded". I was shocked to find out that some cars here don't have secondary air bags, oxygen sensors, etc. Ford realizes this hence my earlier "lots of features for cheap statement". https://www.investopedia.com/articles/markets/082115/how-ford-makes-money.asp |

To feel happy or to feel sad.
Happy that they're making a giant step towards profitability and pioneering the shift to the technology which seems to be the future of automobiles, Or..
Sad that given the peculiar situation my darling country find ourselves in, it means we will certainly have to strike out Volvo from the list of cars that we can import and use here very soon. We never fit power our TV sets and laptops easily, come be cars.

sultaan: I think we are missing the point here. The idea is not for individuals to have alternate interest in other brands of vehicles, but for them to come together and enlighten the Nigerian market of the value Ford or any other American brand can offer in place of overpriced brands. The Ghanaians are using Chevrolet and they do not have 3 heads. We maybe discussing the value Kia or Mitsubishi offer in small/compact cars. The fact that it is okay to be replacing engine in one brand and not other brands is not acceptable.
My usual question to Radauto when it comes to some brands is " was it caused by vehicle failure, negligence, or tampering by mechanic" and she has never fully answered. Having access to parts, and bulletin means your are in a better position to educate users to get things done right the first time and when you build confidence you get more business.
I don't think we have all been able to serve the Nigerian users properly on this forum. I'm sorry I thought I answered this in the past I love having these discussions with you. It has been due to vehicle failure and additionally in Nigeria compounded by mechanics not knowing what to do and messing up the problem even further. That being said, I've never denigrated Ford as a whole I've simply said that their specialty is not passenger vehicles and SUVs. It's the large engine trucks, muscle cars and cargo vans. Case in point are you aware that Ford has now stopped making sedans in North America? They are only keeping the muscle cars (mustang and GT), which again, big engine. This is because they have not been able to compete in that segment because their vehicles just are not up to par with the competition. Ford themselves admit as much. But when it comes to heavy duty vehicles like trucks and vans and diesel, Ford is the way to go. |

Femtopford: I can now see that you don't have important works to do, so you are on my tread for the past three weeks day and night monitoring my articles constantly, wow this is extremely amazing to the extent that you searched all the previous passages and requoted them. Well I shouldn't be surprised, you're a female, you will definitely behave like one having such luxury of time, was is so painful that your standard is far low to my competitive level.
See am too busy than all these noncense, I have realized that you don't have better things to do, You think I was just competing with you without a definite purpose, of course not, I was using the opportunity to promote Ford and my workshop which am proud of, if I didn't promote my business, what else do you expect me to do, is it to do another business or come to bow to, in your dreams.
Like you said, it's because I want to fix Ford. Yes I want to fix Ford, am saying it openly to the whole world, because I derive pleasure in it and gain lots of profits .
PLEASE OOO ALL FORD OWNERS, FEMTOPFORD WORKSHOP IS OPEN OOO.
BRING YOUR FORD FOR REPAIRS OOO.
THOSE THAT HAVE BROUGHT THEIR FORD SMILE OUT OF FEMTOPFORD WORKSHOP OOOO.
Can you see now that am not ashamed of the profession that is bringing into my pocket both small and big furtune, which makes me to raise my head high.
So back to your words, You said Noooooo, that Ford is very bad without any explanation, that was why I correct your mistake, that Ford is very good, faults and errors will definitely come up on all vehicles not just Ford because they are machines, they will definitely depreciate, but you put all your angers on Ford because am definitely sure that your level of technology couldn't supersede Ford technicalities and you didn't succeed in most Ford repairs. OH SORRY OOO, Those Ford repairs you failed please send them to femtopford workshop, I will help you out.
Good day. My mind business abi? The man asked a question about a specific model which I answered. In your desperate need for publicity (which you willingly admit above) you inserted yourself into my response and LIED to him so that when he had all the problems I warned about with that model you would get to repair them. Yes, I've been watching your thread to see just how low you will stoop. Just like I watch plenty of NL threads and call out misinformation. Ozone0801 again, do not buy the FIRST GENERATION ford edge. He has admitted that it is a problem like I told you. No amount of spin you try to put on it will take away from the fact that you are a LIAR who will say anything to try to get a few measly repairs. You very clearly know that certain models have issues but say " Never the less, those errors are easily rectified in a good workshop like what happened to some 2008 Ford Escape being the first year production of 2nd generation of Escape as narrated in the WhatsApp group below". Then why advice people to buy them? We fix Fords all day that people like you messed up or advised people to buy knowing they had issues. We re an AMERICAN company with way more experience fixing this AMERICAN brand in AMERICA. We don't advice people to buy models we know will have faults they will need to spend money to fix. We don't need to lie to convince people to buy cars we know will cost them money. That's why our customers are loyal. This is the last post I will make to you. Your 15 minutes of my time and exposure is over. Just remember God is watching you and the little money you make lying to people is not worth your soul SMH. And to all of you trusting him with your repairs, ask yourself how much of what he tells you is true and how much is just to get money out of you. Is he working for you or himself? |

ozone0801: I plan on getting the first generation Ford edger. I believe I can get insights and info about this model if I'm on the whatsapp group, also first hand user's experience.
07038122555 radautoworks: nooooo sultaan: I can't believe you said no, without stating the problems with the car. It might not be Toyota reliable, but far better than Land Rover, or BMW radautoworks: actually it was more the first generation than the Ford edge part  Femtopford: It's extremely wrong of you to say nooo blatantly without any cogent explanation. I furiously get mad when anyone tries to degenerate ford in any perspectives. the person you replied NO has already become a member of my WhatsApp ford group. I have given him all the details of ford he required to the slightest bits I always tell my group members and all ford lover that those mechanics, technicians, technologists and engineers that normally say negatives about ford are incompetent ones.
Ford vehicles are my only and sole area of specialization and I won't stay idle if anyone tries to ridicule it, I can raise my head high and no one can say otherwise to me, if anyone is competent enough, he should boldly come here and compete with me in Ford vehicles technologies. radautoworks: I can't have a productive conversation with you. I stopped reading at "white lie". Femtopford: You're 100 right, first year production of a particular generation of any vehicle will definitely have few faults which are just percentage errors in engineering. then those errors are taking care of in the following years at the assembly.
Never the less, those errors are easily rectified in a good workshop like what happened to some 2008 Ford Escape being the first year production of 2nd generation of Escape as narrated in the WhatsApp group below I THINK EVERYONE CAN NOW SEE WHY I DID NOT WASTE MY TIME WITH YOU. You willfully misinterpreted what I said, called me a liar and insulted me repeatedly yet here you are saying EXACTLY what I said. You want to fix cars and lie to people just to accomplish that goal and change positions like the wind to appeal to whoever is talking at the moment. Nonsense.

naijadrivablog: Sure. I know some sells for N200k plus but it is for auto mechanics like you. I just want a functional yet affordable one to diagnose my SUV. And that's what I'm telling you. Cheap ones pick up very few codes and do not pick up codes from a lot of statement. The Bluetooth ones are even worse. If you're going to buy one, pay a little more. If not, you're better off just paying someone to scan for you as needed. A decent one should run you about $100. Edit:I see omans above describing one but price listed is 15k. If it can do what he claims, buy it but I guarantee it can only do it for a couple of models and systems. Make sure your model is one of them. |

timenamoney: 1) look closely the chart you posted is not in degree Celsius °C , it is in degrees Fahrenheit °F ,100 °F degrees Fahrenheit is equivalent to +38 °c degree Celsius simple , check other charts in this trend with Celsius and Fahrenheit to compare ,and post it for me my phone has issues to upload pictures
2) most of them don't believe in God, they mostly believe in science and science says use your car manufacturer oil chart ,and the chart say 20w lowest range is -7 and 9ja has +22 minimum temp , u see the distance , the reasons for lower viscosity oil is because 90% of engine wear is at startup , infact we don't have cold start in 9ja
3)you may use sj 5w30 at +38 degree or lower not higher temp , using 5w30 at +45 may work but will increase wear and tear in your engine , I didn't know if newer oils can withstand higher temp but sj 5w30 can not according to the chart
4) any comments?
can someone help me with Camry oil chart diagram

timenamoney: 1)look at charts closely, it says 5w30 is best for Cold weather, do we have cold weather?=NO 2) look at the OIL ambient temperature diagram chart closely and prove me wrong, it shows that 5w30 API sj maximum temperature operating level is +38 not +45 or higher
did Toyota ever tell you that 5w30 API sn or newer can withstand +45 degree or higher (instead of+38 degree for sj?=no my dear
think harder Toyota never suggested one particular viscosity for thier car , if na lie ask gov nwike lol Hmmm... But they use manufacturer spec 5w30 for "cold weather" in the middle east and don't change engine upandan like in Nigeria.  What do I know, maybe their car God is mightier than our own.
