Zelensky should have run begging Putin, "please sir, we are a small nation, we surrender," because Putin is what.
You hear all these self aclaimed online pundits and you wonder if they ever become a leader someday, would they even use their head and stand up for the right of the people they lead.

Sebi, Putin thought it wont take him a month to overrun Ukraine. Has he done it, upon all the bragging and shoulder raising.

No matter how big a bully is, he would need to do extra to beat some kids someday. Not everyone die easy. Some people will fight dirty till death and go to their graves with pride and dignity. It doesn't matter what anyone says.

if the EU, UK and US did not support with aid and Ammo it would have not lasted up to this. So you thought during the Nigeria civil war if Biafra had receive quarter of what Ukraine had RECEIVE, Biafra would have won that war. That is the same thing on ground.

ok thanks

Hello my oga in the house I noticed my es330 air filter box is broken 1 side and the top does not fit well. I have always thought it doesn't matter untill I was told it matters a lot if it is broken or slightly open one side. Please does anyone have idea how much it is sold and where to get it probably with original MAF sensor.

Ktaophyc:
Misfire mwans there's a cylinder not working well. The main cause of blocked inlet is the clogged Air filter.

thank you bro

Ktaophyc:
It's important you first recall that Fuel prices have increased and thus consumption comparison is best done wrt liters of fuel bought and not the amount.

A few components to be checked during Diagnostics are:
1. O2 sensors
2. Exhaust leak
3. Misfire
4. Blocked inlet
5. Blocked exhaust

please help me shed more lights on number 3 and 4

DistrictAutos:
When the engine is warm, have someone raise it to around 5000 rpm and observe the exhaust. If dark smoke comes out, your ignition parts are weak

ok I will try and do that and if it the ignition parts are weak what do you think the solution will be

RyanAutomotive:
Good afternoon sir.

Thank you for sharing your concern. Excessive fuel consumption on a Lexus ES330 should always be investigated properly, especially when the Check Engine Light has been on for a long time. Let’s address this step by step so you avoid unnecessary expenses and guesswork.

⸻

🔎 Professional Diagnostic Insight

Vehicle: Lexus ES330
Primary Complaint: Very high fuel consumption
Observation: Check Engine Light constantly ON

One very important rule with modern vehicles is this:

If the Check Engine Light is on, the engine management system has already detected a fault.
Until that fault is properly diagnosed and corrected, the vehicle will not operate at optimal fuel efficiency.

So the first concern here is not the tyre size — it is the active engine fault stored in the ECU.

⸻

1️⃣ Check Engine Light Must Be Scanned Properly

When a technician says “nothing is wrong” while the Check Engine Light is still on, it usually means one of two things:

• The vehicle was not scanned with a proper diagnostic tool, or
• The stored fault codes were not interpreted correctly

A professional scan should retrieve the exact fault code, such as:

• Oxygen sensor faults
• Air–fuel ratio sensor problems
• Catalytic converter efficiency issues
• Mass airflow sensor inaccuracies
• EVAP system leaks

Any of these can significantly increase fuel consumption.

⸻

2️⃣ Oxygen Sensor / Air–Fuel Ratio Sensor

On the Lexus ES330, one of the most common causes of excessive fuel consumption is a failing oxygen sensor or air–fuel ratio sensor.

When this sensor sends incorrect readings:

• The ECU injects more fuel than necessary
• Fuel mixture becomes too rich
• Fuel economy drops drastically

The engine may still sound smooth and show no smoke, which is why the issue can easily be overlooked.

⸻

3️⃣ Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) Contamination

Another frequent cause is a dirty or failing Mass Airflow Sensor.

This sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine. If the readings are inaccurate:

• The ECU miscalculates fuel delivery
• Fuel consumption increases significantly

This fault may also trigger the Check Engine Light.

⸻

4️⃣ Tyre Size Consideration

You mentioned the vehicle is running on 17-inch tyres.

While larger tyres can slightly affect fuel economy due to increased rolling resistance, they will not cause extreme fuel consumption on their own.

So the tyre size is not likely the primary cause of your problem.

⸻

⚠️ Important Observation

Since the Check Engine Light has been on since you got the vehicle, it is possible that the issue has simply been ignored for a long time.

Modern Lexus engines rely heavily on sensor feedback for fuel control, so any faulty sensor can easily cause the vehicle to consume far more fuel than normal.

⸻

📌 What Should Be Done First

Before replacing any parts, the correct approach is:

1️⃣ Perform a full engine diagnostic scan
2️⃣ Retrieve the exact fault codes stored in the ECU
3️⃣ Analyze live data from sensors (O2 sensors, MAF, fuel trims)
4️⃣ Confirm whether the engine is running too rich or too lean

Only after this process can the correct repair be determined.

⸻

🎯 Professional Take

Your situation strongly suggests a sensor-related engine management issue, which is one of the most common reasons for excessive fuel consumption on this model.

The good news is that many of these problems are relatively straightforward to fix once the correct fault code is identified.

Guesswork or random part replacement should be avoided.

⸻

🏢 Ryan Automotive Limited Recommendation

The most important step now is a proper computerized diagnostic scan to retrieve the exact reason the Check Engine Light is on.

Once the stored fault code is identified, the repair can be targeted and cost-effective, instead of replacing parts unnecessarily.

If you are able to bring the vehicle down, Ryan Automotive Limited performs professional engine diagnostics and fuel system analysis to accurately determine the cause of excessive fuel consumption and restore proper performance.

Hello my fellow nairalanders good day. Please I got this lexus es330 for more than 6 months now and I noticed the rate it drinks fuel is beyond comprehension. The engine sounds so cool and does not smoke. But the check engine light have been on since I got it from my younger brother, and I have taken it to rewire and I was told there is nothing wrong with my car. But the car is on 17 tyre size. Please make una help me before this car send me back to the village.

Lord Lugard and Britain will not end well. I can’t believe they amalgamated humans with animals into one country

you still dey put lord for lugard name?

They are the real owners of Nigeria

Thanks to everyone that contributed to this space I have returned the phone and I collected another one

numtums:
If you bought a brand new phone rooted then you should return it, to avoid further complications

I don return the phone oo

Chekwume16:
What is really your point. So that is the achievement of the government compared to this hardship. How much was Allocated to students loan. If you don't have anything to defend just shut up. There is no single benefit of this subsidy removal apart from more funds to loot.

you lack comprehension abilities. Read what I write again

Then how have all this made the life of common man easy? Because the last time I check we are still shouting up Nepa and Lagos that is a metropolis was strucked with cholerae no good pipe borne water in the nation even pure water that saves lives is now beyond the reach of common man.

L0wk3y:
No way that’s a brand new, Samsung apps need an unrooted phone to work, so there’s no way they shoot themselves in the foot right out the box…

that's what I noticed too so I will go and flash the phone

numtums:

I just noticed I ordered a repackaged or refurbished phone as new phone. I will go and flash it

consize:
I suggest you use magisk, it's a very powerful tool and if you feel you don't have the stomach to unroot, why not try hiding root from those apps using magisk hide orZygisk denylist?
it'll hide the fact that your phone is rooted from all those apps

abeg how I go fit do that one? I have tried installing that magisk but I don't know how to do it

PulsingPurple:
Oh I get.

The root-checker app, have you tried it?



This should be the best option.
But like Ozone007 said, flashing is taking chances, little problems might pop up, that you won't understand.
So if you're hoping to flash, you can as well take it to a certified technician.

I will definitely take it to a certified technician. Because the phone is ordered phone who I wan go hold. Thank you so much

Ozone007:
If the phone is still in warranty period, I'll advise you return it


I had same issue with mine when I was trying to install DSTV stream, that was when I knew it was rooted and I took it to Samsung office in Benin City and they said it is a fifty fifty thing. That the only option is to change the panel or I should return the phone if it is still in the warranty period

I am even thinking of taking it to an Engineer where I got it from they are telling me story probably I will need to take it so they could help me flash it maybe it will work properly

PulsingPurple:
Asides from the Netflix issue, anything else?
You know random phones do have issues with random apps.
And in this Netflix case, what's the error you keep getting?

Then, have you used any root-checker app?

If not, try downloading this app called Inware and go to System in the app.

Also bear in mind that for the whole process of flashing the phone and replacing it with a fresh ROM, you'll need a laptop and a little knowledge of computer programs.

other app like Bybit couldn't work on it saying this phone has been root Netflix is displaying error 57.6 and I haven't use it for a week ooh

PulsingPurple:
Extra details?

Like model and problems you're facing.

I am using s21 5G I got it new and I noticed it was rooted because I can't watch netflix with it and I want someone who could help me flash it with its firmware so it Will get unrooted

I bought a new Samsung phone from box and I tore the nylon myself bought noticed it has been root and I don't know if anyone could help me unroot it I need rest of mind abeg.

Even netflix can't work properly on it

jumpandpas:
When they pray and the dead is raised you guys will still call it fake.

which one have you seen

humilitypays:
Lol

Iran can do nothing to Israel.

Russia backing Iran have already warned Iran to be very careful with their retaliation.

Putin told Iranian leader directly to retaliate moderately in a way that won't harm any Israeli, that Iran should focus on Israeli defense structures to avoid escalation.


Putin knows that Iran sending any missile into Israel that kills any Israeli will definitely cost Iran a lot but naive people are busy telling Iran go go

where you read that one.. give me link where Russia are warning them

Philipponzaghi:
Nonsense post.

Titus Sardine price is just a reflection of global trends, not solely Tinubu's doing. Let’s focus on the bigger picture and support our leaders instead of spreading negativity.

global you call it? Is the exchange rate soaring high globally and before now Titus wasn't produce in Nigeria so why are you spilling nonsense

Government of rice..

Goke7:
it's best international practice everywhere for govt to take back the loan once the beneficiaries start working which is after two years I learned in this case. That's a win-win for everybody.

working!! in Nigeria? That is a myth

But Tinubu couldn't hold Lagos state government accountable when he protested against Gej government in 2012

Ok
