Good afternoon sir.
In furtherance to this, mechanic opened up the engine and reported that there is nothing wrong with the valves but that there is an issue with the ring. He said he can replace or work it but cannot guarantee the performance after a while because its an aluminium engine. Hence he is suggesting that I buy a new engine for a permanent solution. Diagnostic report are as attached. I am very confused.

Good morning, I drive hyundai elantra 2010 which I purchased last yr.After using for three month it stopped cooling.I changed the condenser and refilled the gas. Recently it stopped cooling and gas smell comes out from the 'Glover Box". Was told I need to change the Evapourator by removing the dashboard,how true is this and is it compulsory to remove the dashboard before it can be fixed.

You'll get your fingers burnt for recommending a rogue dealer luvinhubby and I will personally drag you...the way I used to be a fan is the same way I will drag you... Instagram nairaland and other media including YouTube

nurey:
MDX is your best bet. Toureg is expensive on the maintenance list and requires a qualified technician.

kia sorento is dicey

demexTK:
Hello madam, plz how much does wheel hub cost to change??...
Answer needed asap plz.

Jennito:
08089473940. Add me up.

I want a volvo but peeps keeps discouraging me. I like the xc90 but friends are shouting about fuel maintenence and affordability and availability of its spare parts. I want to be educated about the car and I hope to buy one before end of September, God willing.

1. It is more than likely too late to change to the manufacture reccomnadation.. Continue using the palm oil until the engine starts bring out smoke, or better yet sell the car before it gets to that point.....

2. For recommded interval, always read the owners manual. For some cars oil change interval is always every 3k miles if using conventional oil . And every 7k5k miles to 10k miles if using full synethtic... also put into account that Nigerian factor or Lagos traffic with constant stop and go ,idling, dust etc will put more stress on the engine.. So it might better to change earlier than the recommended interval....

Mutemenot:
The number of this Pontiac is increasing on our roads daily, any review on the availability of its parts and cost of maintenance ?

ahmstrng:
Thanks for the response. How much does the honda oil cost and is there any notable diff between the two oil?

Generally speaking, in Nigeria, crowd mentality is a very big thing. If you do something for me and I’m very satisfied, I sing your praises to my friend or circle, even when you’ve not had any dealings with them you’ve been liked by them already and vice versa. That’s why you’ll see in some instances where someone may come at you for no reason on here even if it’s just the first time you’re ever being quoted by that individual. An average nigerian values “My friend/ whoever says she’s............” without their own personal experience. If I see you as a threat maybe to my business or anything, then you’re automatically considered a threat to my circle also.
A man is almost somewhat threatened by a woman with a higher knowledge in a particular field too. It’s a human something. That’s how we’ve been coded.
Then, you being a woman at times do behave like one in some instances I’ve come across where you’ve seen that there was no way and you’ll downplay some issues by either playing victim or being a little pushy/ final in your tune(this is just my opinion anyways). We all process thought differently, you might say something that’s perfectly fine with me and the next available user might make you an e-enemy for live just because of the way he interpreted you
A nigerian setting is way different from an American setting so our wiring is different too.
Then always know that you can’t please everybody as you will always make enemies and friends in all walks of life. There are times you should always resist the urge to shalaye too

TamedWhisperer:
All right! Great!!. Can I get an address and I'll pop in this weekend. Thanks

TamedWhisperer:
LOL...I know no better, apologies. Thanks for responding @radautoworks

So, I can come to the island no problem. Since, no one on the mainland is responding.

I'd like to do some repairs (after scanning, if any), service and replace all necessary fluids and perform a few upgrades to some 2012 parts and if my bank account never red, I want to get give the ride an ovenbaked makeover.

Are these something we can get done at your workshop?

Zoharariel:
I have been following this thread silently for months but tonight, I'll bare my Kolaq Alagbo plus Benson & Hedges Switch induced thoughts.

I think I am going to suspend my Love & Loyalty for the Bavarian Motor Works until further notice.

That Bastard - Stefan Quandt and his sister - Susanne Klatten have wrecked the tradition of the Bmw culture with their "Profit first, Engineering later" attitudes.

..

Let me just say, I wish all of you goodluck!

Goodnight & Sai da safé!

Better quality control and fully synethtic.... The ones sold in Nigeria are manufactured in Nigeria under lincense from Castrol..... Anything manufacture in Nigeria you know how it goes ......

tropaz:
Why am I seeing this car everywhere I look? Is God telling me to buy Volvo? Or my village people are trying to revisit my long abandoned matter?

henryskywalker2003:
Finally!!! Thank God. Now we are done, let's continue with our usual Ford talks.

LeJeun3:


If I didnt know the OP, I would have been worried about this post. But being someone I have worked with both Professionally and otherwise I will resist the urge to Shalaye....


You give 90 days warranties, I give 1year warranties on engine rebuilds that where fully paid for with no discounts.....

TSBs and Recalls do not happen for us here in Nigeria because we majorly do not buy brand new cars and even when the cars are bought brand new, the dealerships find a way of wiggling out from fulfilling their duties....

Please how do i get radio code for mercedes

valarinz:
If budget were a constraint then why not, else I'll go for the second generation, they're cuter and more loaded.

As for the other questions of consumer complaints and reliability, you'll have to understand that most Nigerians buy these cars when they're at the last lap of their lifetime anyways, we mostly don't care about all those things that bothers the westerners (eg plastic interior build quality etc).

We just want something that looks good and can take us from point A to B and we'll find a way to keep it that way till the car finally gives up. The first generation Ford Edge still does that quite well over here in naija.

Also note that most of those complaints that are on the screenshot you provided must have been handled already(via the recalls mentioned and by the owners abroad) before the car even gets to naija(we buy mainly used or salvage cars) , you'll mostly have to worry about those stuffs if you're buying brand new.
