New taker dey form sharp. 700k for wetin welder go repair for 3k. Common sense hard

Repair 3k and next 2 days,you repair again...then again.
You think you're saving money but you're not.
Not to also mention the wear and tear too much fingering of such a delicate part will do to the overall bonnet compartment.
I'll pass.

Trymeee:
Carry the old turbo with you. Find a way and mend the crack, you might need it on future time or some part of it.

For real?
Okay no worries.
Thanks.

Trymeee:
Sounds good, glad you found the culprit. How much did the turbo cost though?

700k.
The mechanic got another deal.

2cribz:
U wasted money,new taker. So na wetin crack,wey u go just buy metal paste seal back together
.nawa 4u new taker.

Turbo,
Very high pressure air coming out of those intake,no seal will work.
And also ,I no be new taker.
I don take tire from wayback

Culprit found,saw it personally.
Crack in the turbo outlet into the engine,causes air imbalance into cylinders,hence ruining the turbo.
Bought the turbo already.
Thanks for all your help.

Trymeee:
Are you sure of this? Talking of the no-code.

I have a turbo charged car running at power loss as well but perfect temperature. Acceleration is very slow and it drags like hell especially while climbing hills. Another way I got to know even before diagnosing was blue smoke from the exhaust though not all the time but the gear selects perfectly. it was during diagnoses I confirmed it's the turbo.

I'd find out today ,heading there today.
I honestly don't follow up with codes and what not.
Also when I mean running at high temperatures, I don't mean overheating.
Maybe running some 20 degree hotter than usual.
I know for sure something is wrong with the turbo cos it whines,acceleration drags especially when the temperature increases by one bar.
So I know the turbo isn't functioning properly.

sultaan:
Normally it would have been covered under manufacturers warranty.

Tell your mech to send you a pic of the crack.

CI don't want to believe a 3 year old turbo will crack unless it was a mechanical damage from somewhere else.

What code is the car setting?

No code,just power loss and running at higher temperatures.
I thought of this too.

kingreign:
If you seeing brand new in Amazon, ensure it's OEM and not some cheap Chinese knock off.

Another angle,thanks .

Trymeee:
The car must be a beast. How beastly is the beast?

Wild animal kinda beast lol

2cribz:

Yeah ,checked brand new ones on Amazon,
I'm seeing $360,duty around $180,meaning brand new is less than 900k.
So why then is a used one 1.2m?
Somebody lying obviously.
Can't go to Ladipo,I wanna price it down with the mechanic and get a good deal.
I just wanna have an idea about it.

2cribz:
Why not. Sell ot and get a car that is non turbo.

IF you've felt the aggression of this car's Turbo,you no go talk this thing.
I love my Turbocharged engine and 1.2m isn't really a big deal
Just making sure I'm not being cheated.

2cribz:
U think say turbo cheap.toks be around 650k.
Alaye sell the scrap

Na toks them dey tell me 1.2m so oo.
So I should sell a 2 year old car because it's turbo failed?

Hello house,good morning.
So I'm having a challenge here.
I noticed that my car has been underperforming for sometime,serious power loss.
So they say the turbo don crack,have to be replaced.

Meet Ethiopian ambassador to talk about how to setup noodles cublicle and bakery in Ethiopia?
Some are even saying giant moves
This guy just bumped Into the ambassador, took pictures and started spinning a bullshit narrative.
Ambassadors aren't jobless enough to welcome nonsense like this.

Ibechris2:
Pls,beauty and being a civil is not enough to make a good family.

I am a civil servant but na business don help me pass any other thing for this life ooh.

As a young man,never u date any woman who is toxic,badly trained. She would unleash it on u.

In fact,u need someone who can compensate for ur inadequacies that u have and not women who would damage the remaining good qualities u have.

Pls,avoid toxic ladies.

Marriage is the only place where bad women unleash the demon in them. Character before beauty my brother.

Very true,
I know and I observe these things and bail at the slightest sign.
I can't be with anyone I'd have to walk on eggshells with for life.

pansophist:
You really need to get hold of her smartphone, then you will understand

The numbers of men, both high caliber and low in her dm, with the 100's of like she may get on her posts/pics. Anyone with a younger sister should know this.

She is in her celebrity era, its nature and the law of seasons. Dont be shocked when in maybe ten years time, she accuse you of not going for your age mate, when right now she dont give a shit about you but going for men way older than her.

Instead of try to correct or do anything, just work on yourself, so when he reach your turn, you pick your choice of women, because competition hard for you now

Korla:
We’re not yet self sufficient in refined fuel, we still import.

If fuel is being smuggled out of the country, it may lead to scarcity. Thereby causing an increase in the price of the product.

It’s the same way people stock on food products which cause scarcity and result in an increase in prices

Not true.

My experience.
Have been talking to this girl,smart and all.
But I think she pedestalises herself so much and think every other person is beneath her.
A young girl for that matter ooo(early twenties).
Work a federal government job(no offense to civil servants),still lives with her mom who is also a civil servant,so I mean it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one is still trying to figure life out.
But you need to see how this girl refer to people she thinks is beneath her.
Riff-raff,stupid,this and that...And honestly I find it hard to differentiate she and the people she looks down on.
And has a very dark mind too,like really dark,warped and weird.
Omo I gats commot body oo,I think the mom struggled so much to cater for her ,went through it,developed some bitterness on the way and vomited it in her and she swallowed hook,line and sinker.
Sad situation and this girl is pretty and has a good head on her shoulders,trauma just no want leave am.

Because naira lost a lot of value, still very cheap for our neighbours to buy Nigerian petroleum products ,destined for their countries.
It's still profitable.

CrystalMax:
The warehouse doesn't have to be in one country.
I called it "redistribution" strategy.

If the two countries can come to a common ground, a similitude will be an alternative. America isn't stupid and other nations, particularly China ain't too.

Scattering goods all over the place to be bound for US markets isn't exactly cheap mr,
There's something called logistic cost and cost effective routes.
Will be cheaper to ship from China directly to the US because of how competitive the route is for shippers,
Wouldn't be the case if you want to ship from say a Bangkok ,as transit route.
Shipper fares out of Bangkok might be 100% more ,then consider their tarrif too and if they even have the resources to handle that kind of volume in the first place.
This your formula can only work in weak countries that can't control its land borders where people will import to neighbouring countries and smuggle by land.
Of course we both know you can't try that with the US,especially on cheap,voluminous consumer goods.

Saga16:
You're talking sheet.

US is nor China's number 1 market, Europe is.

US has pissed all former allies off and choose to stand alone.

Stand alone they must.

I no go follow fool like you argue much nna.

Saga16:
European Union Imports from China was US$657.32 Billion during 2022,

China exports to United States worth US$ 582,756 million.

Learn.

657.32B+582.756B=$1,240.076B
657.32B+0B=$657.32B
It's a numbers race and not a prove a point contest.
Learn.

Saga16:
US only purchases 15% of China’s production output.

Stop making them appear superhuman.

15% of trade volume can also equate to 90% of value receipts.
Superior,more expensive Chinese made consumer goods usually heads for US markets,while cheap Chinese knockoffs service third world countries where they've got the bulk of their market share.
Yes,Americans are superhuman.
Third world discredit won't change their truth.

CrystalMax:
How?
It's pretty easy to boycott.
Produce in China, ship to a country with little tarrif, warehouse there and ship from there to the U.S.

Won't be easy in the instant but it's a simple redistribution strategy that many would employ.

$450B worth of goods isn't invisible,
They'd still identify that your transit country and impose a 200% tarrif on it too.
Gambia can't just wake up overnight and start exporting 450B dollars worth of finished chinese made products without raising an eyebrow
America isn't stupid.

Saga16:
The world would rejig.

Canada can be the next US.

For sure, no one takes directions from one nation.

Na money them dey use "rejig" ,no be blockos
And last I checked it don't fall off the sky.
Canada will be the next US how?
One nation too big to lose,China go learn.EoD.

Saga16:
US has only 340 million people.

There's still 7 billion people to service .

7billion people to service with which purchasing power?
People weh no fit chop 3 square meal think say them be alternative lol.
340m US citizens equals 3.4B rest of the world, under the poverty line dwellers.
Know this.
There's no replacement for US market,if it existed,China would've capitalised on it long ago.
Them go cook this time well well...

spiSeyi:
They play the tariffs will only affect the US consumers did you know that BRICS makes up the 56-60% of world trade while the US is 4% . Even Elon musk called Trump trade advisor a slowpoke. The US is living in the past the world economy has changed even SA (South Africa) doesn't give a bleep about the US sanctions bcs they are major stake holders among the BRICS. The reality is that the end of US empire and dominance has come

America is denying China its market bros,
It is almost useless to have large production capacity without offtakers.
Na BRICS want buy $450B goods from China YoY?

Image123:
But can't Trump see that not everyone can afford made in America? People will buy made in China from other countries, case closed. It is poor people that will suffer the fight of elephants.

You'd pay 2 tarrifs then,import tarrif of your transit country and then another tarrif at your final destination
Still useless.

tunapawizzy:
He does not know that it is cheaper to pay 500 factory workers US wages THAN to incorporate 104% tariffs on every product u send to the US

Sad to walk his shoes I guess.

Think9ja:
Lol

In times like this, black people go just sit down look because them no get anything to offer. They (blacks) are actually a dumping ground to both US and China.

Blacks no suppose de exit I swear

Very useless and unproductive race.

Na Bleep and relationship matter just full their dumb heads

Which one you don do?or you no be person?

spiSeyi:
Trump is pained to the marrow China is a self sufficient state unlike others and can easily do away with the US but the US can't survive without the Chinese. Investors prefer to manufacture their stuff in China because of cheap labor and almost tax free regime which is not obtainable in the US. (e.g. The likes of Innoson won't go to the US for their spares even big company like Boeing can't build aircraft engines without the Chinese components, Apple will make almost no profit if it tries to shift its production line to the US )
The US should wake to reality that the global economy has taken a new face

You do know the tarrifs is to make the bolded useless right?

NOETHNICITY:
Even though they may be making huge profits in Nigeria, they cannot pull the required funds for investment in Mozambique from Nigeria as that would amount to capital flight which may attract serious penalties by the FG

You know this isn't true right?
