Went under the car while someone else tried to start it. Saw that flywheel and torque converter were turning, but engine wasn't.

Here's my most bizzare car fault ever.
Engine is a 1.0l CG10 by Nissan.

Nm

GAZZUZZ:
if you are certain, then let me try again.

I am assuming you have checked the usual.

So let me target the unusual.

Excessive carbon deposits in valve area, causing loss of compression.


Modified:

It will explain this

I thought so too. But, no still...

GAZZUZZ:
you removed the timing chain cover?

Didn't have to... Removed valve cover to look into it and everything was intact.

GAZZUZZ:
Timing chain e have cut. Replace Cylinder head.

Nope, upon close inspection timing chain is intact.

What model of Toyota do you want?
It will pay you to double your budget before checking out EOD.

mayor2013:
a Nissan? No synchronisation between camshaft and crankshaft. Timing is off already. Apart from clicking noise ignored what other sound did you hear any? Is this a DOHC?

No other sound.
Yes, it's a DOHC.

Everyone shouldn't get confused on this issue.

Mobil Oil Nigeria Plc will officially be here any moment to clear the ground that using Mobil XHP engine oil won't damage let alone knock engine over the time if used consistently to service car in as much other things like catalytic converter, 02 sensors etc are always checked working fine and check engine light is not always left on for long.

I've consistently used Mobil XHP engine oil for my Honda accord EOD 05 for 2 years with good maintenance culture and the engine has never failed to start for once let alone be stranded for once. The engine is still very sound and sharp even more than that of most Tokunbos of the same car.

I just finished speaking with them on their line 01-2801600 copied from https://www.nigeriagalleria.com/Galleria_Finance/Nigeria_Company_Profiles/Oil_and_Gas/Mobil_Oil_Nigeria_Plc.html and anyone can call them to ask questions and as well get more enlightened regarding this. Thanks

And so?
ṣé káma sálọ ni? (make we dey run?)

See market! Nah panel beater work sure pass oh.
They should have different insurance policy for women in the first few years.

LeJeun3:


Maybe if I give them away, I would feel better .....

My hands are up oh.

So while driving car gives a very faint click, just ignored and turned up stereo, but then got to the base of a hill where there's a check point, went through and barely 50m away car RPM suddenly rises and drops, then car goes off.
Cranks but won't start. Crank sound is now different.
No check engine light before now.
Opened engine oil refill cap, top timing chain isn't rotating; engine uses 2 chains, one for camshafts and another chain for crankshaft and oil pump.
When trying to start car the crankshaft turns for fraction of a second.

What could the fault be?

Thumbs up for the before and after images. We hope to see more of this.

From you?
From your mechanic?
From both of you?

abidav2000:
Hello Auto gurus in da house. Please I need an honest advice on Nissan Maxima 3.5SL (2004) on how affordable the maintenance is, also fuel consumption, parts availability and oda assesments. Pls help. Thanks.

No no no no.
And an extra no for any other question you my ask

So you would rather ride unprotected and risk greater injury in the event of an accident?
And the olive salary structure is fine as it is.
How many o'level jobs pay equivalent of over 40k which police Constables collect?

Your topics are getting worse by the day... Not like they were spectacular at any point in time though.

OmoOgbon:
There has been lots of jobless people on the forum ruining peoples thread.

Just because they have little knowledge of where this cars were bought.

Do not Import badly Accidental cars with deployed airbags, think of other peoples safety.

And if possible post before pictures of the cars damage..

And most of all Don't forget to clear of your auction lot number from your windshield.

Come back and post with your original moniker if you know what you lot are doing is good.
Spineless fraud.

Ọmọ òmùgọ̀.

Omotakins:
Nope,it doesn't

I'm suspecting PCV.
Was any work done that involved opening valve cover?

legalwealth:
Say what happened to dancok. Don't just come and give half-baked information here.

It will check you that it must have been the cause of whatever happened to him and not the Mobil engine oil. Most Nigerians naturally lack overall maintenance culture; only few Nigerians do.

I'm kind of sure that if his case is well analysed, we will detect that whatever happened to him should have been as a result of his lack of maintenance culture and not the oil that you are pointing ill fingers to.

You need to read more sir.
Stop acting solely on what you heard. Search for Dancok and you will see for yourself.

ENDTIMEISNEAR:
February 16 my last oil service

Sir, I'm officially lost.
Please post the last 2 service dates in the final below
Last service date: dd/mm/yyyy
Upper service date: dd/mm/yyyy.

Scan and post codes.
Does the car go off when you slam the brake?

Ipfreely:
Your title reads 2005 Lexus ES300.

Is this an ES300 or an ES330? If you're not sure, a photo of the Engine bay will be of help to you.

You could also post the VIN.

He is a creative dealer, he doesn't have to check tag or engine to know what model it is. LOL

What are you talking? Even you don't know what you wan to say...
Kukuma ask for deposit or commitment fee or sell form before providing VIN.

tempex88:
I appreciate your campaign but I have noticed double standards. That one post pix does not mean the car is safe and damage is minimal. Everyone should post Vin. No need for pix showing damage.

And stop celebrating people showing only pictures.

No double standards. It's just that someone who posts before repair pictures without being asked is less likely to have anything to hide, compared to someone who didn't post pictures of car abroad and avoids posting VIN.

tempex88:
The truth is this campaign can not work. I buy salvage cars and sell here too. I expect every prospecting to do a VIN check after physical inspection. It's is just 10usd.

If you continue with your campaign people will post different VIN that is not actual car they are selling. I have corolla pictures and VIN on my phone that will pass for the car he posted here.

Only someone who physically inspects the car would be able to trace the fraud.

If you will be fair, isn't it more logical to do a VIN from the comfort of one's home before going for physical inspection to see quality of repair work that was done on a vehicle.

vetrovialMan:
Don't need to look at the engine bay to tell the difference

i sell cars

But the person who wants to tell the difference doesn't sell cars and needs a look at the engine to differentiate.
Better still, post the VIN.

You are here defending a company that presented false information with intent to defraud by saying their merchandise didn't show any signs of fault within their premises. That's a typical way paid staff defend fraudulent employer scam companies.

helpishere:
Paid? By whom?

Yes. Cars45.

Judge not bros and read well without sentiments. It is a naija used car and it was taken out from the yard without overheating.

It has to reach the threshold before overheating, for how long was it driven at a stretch within the first 5 days?

Imagine what kazeems rewires do by permanently making the fan to work. Most times they attach the wire to the battery and in changing the battery, the op forgot to put back the wire. You know what will happen.

You show more ignorance about car matters with each post.
Fan would never go off if directly attached to battery.

If the issue arose as they were driving home from the cars45 depot, I will join in the shout but after 6 days, haba. Let the Op tell us if the car was overheating when it was presented for uber?

If car is not driven over long stretch or under extreme conditions it won't overheat.

He joined nairaland on the 18 of february 2018 just to tell us how he bought a naija used Toyota corolla rightie that overheated after 6 days and then issues began.

OP created this account when she deemed fit and none of her claims has been found to be a lie till this moment.

Who did he take the car to when the issues came up? Timi or gazzuzz or deportivo or kingreign in Abuja or even Mayor2013? A roadside rewire that complicated issues. I wish cars45 will notice me and send me that range rover sport that i once saw there. It will make sense.

Atleast you have agreed the car was bought with issues, only that it didn't manifest until after serious use.
I pray you get the RR and all cars45 has to offer with it.

helpishere:
Lawyers do faint nowadays. They forced him with a gun on his head to buy the car at 1.6m and used ak48 to force him to sell at 650k after two weeks. If the car faults were not documented and he stiĺl bought the car, it is a gamble that he took and as I learnt,bkind men don't gamble.

How much were you paid for your soul?
