larrixauto2017:
hello normally we don't support the year of that car but i will tell what can cause the fuel consumption the only thing that can cause the fuel consumption is that there is not [ catalytic converter and oxygen sensor and there is possibility of a leaking exhaust in your car system
Thanks for the response. There's catalytic converter, but no oxygen sensor. Will check out for leaking exhaust cos I do perceive a foul smell sometimes.

Chief Gazzuzz,
I have a 2001 Volvo V40 that consumes fuel 6l/25km, I have changed plugs,clean throttle body. What could be the cause?

NB: Fan is running direct. I'm afraid of reverting since I bought it with fan running direct

The 2007 CRV are expensive.
I learnt they have leg issues too.

The other option seems fantastic.
Thanks.

I doubt the crv within these years given having 'leg' issues

Carina E and that Avensis are same thing UpTo 90% so if you tell me you are buying carina I take it you know it's same thing as that year Avensis.

Fuel economy are so identical it's Negligible as all vehicles have 4cylinder version. Though the Passat and Volvo 4cylinder may be different because they are in a higher class than the rest and they are top heavy.
You never disappoint in your thoughts. Thank you Nurey

Does this apply both to Automatic and Manual version?
I'm looking at Automatic.
Boss, among all these, which ones are more fuel efficient?
Also Carina E is not among your list!

Eggs, bread, cakes, displaying used cloths and shoes, light weight hauling, the Toyota is ok.

planks, iron fence, roofing sheets, tiles, bags of rice, packs of soft drinks medium to heavy weight haulage

Nissan primera P11 wagon, Mazda wagon, Volvo 740 series, Passat wagon B4 this ones can be modified at the rear to withstand heavy cargo, some came with rear axle for that cargo capacity from factory.

Does this apply both to Automatic and Manual version?
I'm looking at Automatic.

Boss,
I need your thoughts on 2001/2002 Toyota Avensis wagon as a small car for haulage. I intend using it once in a while for small haulage/logistics job. Also I will need other viable options as Toyota products are hot-cake.
Auto is my preferred option
Thanks

EasternDamsel4:

Oh really? I know it's very expensive too. I remembered extracting a tooth in 2014 for 5k and I also enquired about the root canal surgery...I was told it costs 15k.
Even if the practice is outdated, I know most people will always opt for extraction.

Quick recovery dear.

Root canal(I call it tooth surgery) is above 35k now at where I did mine

EasternDamsel4:

Yeah...I am commenting from experience. I almost had a root canal surgery cos I refused to come back for a permanent refill. grin
I finally got the tooth extracted...it's been blissful since then.
I will still check out other top tooth paste for that.

Did root canal some days back, the lecture given before and during the process makes it worthwhile. I will still monitor the progress as Dr advised that extraction is an outdated practice

Good morning nlanders.
Most mornings, the car starts and then stops.I may have to try for about five more times before it finally starts and does not stop again.It will continue like this until I have driven quite a distance otherwise if I drive a short distance and park,it usually repeats same.
It also behave same way if I park the car and leave it for a while especially if am leaving the office after the days work.
The car is an Opel Astra.
I want to make an informed decision.

well.... yes.... just radiator

guess whT.

I have changed my gearbox for a knock sensor related problem.
after changing, the next proposed change was engine..... surprisingly, an engine change would have solved the problem as well... but would've created a hole in my pocket..

the koko is the diagnosis, get this right and solve 95% of the challenge

Ojesky is Obekediamondfuto??
Car Talk / Re: Cost Of A Tokunbo Toyota Corolla Engine by ugreat(m): 3:11pm On Dec 07, 2018
ojeysky:


I said I will be coming back on this and here I am. I have just completed a journey from Lagos to Ekiti. I ensured to travel between 11 and 5pm when the environment was largely hot.

In the past: Whenever I travel from Lagos to Ekiti (or vice versa) my coolant temperature gets to as high as 110C and it is when I stop using AC and maintain 120km/h that my temperature won't exceed 110 otherwise it will and I will be forced to slow down to avoid overheating.

I have tried all sort of things including changing gasket, plugs, injectors and meeting engineers that have advance scanners and was advised that I change the engine. I also meet kazeems who suggested that I connect fan direct and buy a double cell radiator.

I read about GAZZUZZ on Nairaland (and connected via WhatsApp) a friend of mine also told me about him so I decided that I was going to have him do the engine replacement as I don't like doing out of spec modes. Engine replacement with GAZZUZZ was going to cost around 200k+. I made up my mind, gathered the money and drove to GAZZUZZ in Lagos, he looked at the car briefly and said I should change my radiator and that he won't even do an engine change without my radiator change (this is where anyone who doesn't know his person may get pissed off as one may think he is being proud) . It felt too easy considering how far I traveled and the amount of time he spent with my car.

On the understanding that I will change radiator irrespective of engine change or not, I decided to go with GAZZUZZ advice of changing the radiator to a brand new single cell specs for the car, and also got the Toyota coolant. Behold the car temperature became stable, we test run within Lagos and all still checked out. I couldn't entirely believe it was true until I got to Ekiti with my max temperature at 97C. I was running AC and got past 140km/h without any temperature spike.

Finally people, I recommend that guy called GAZZUZZ, his pricing may be more than what kazeems charge or may look awkward in your interaction with him but I can assure you that his service is on point.

@smart724 as you can see, am no longer selling my engine as it's kicking in my car!

Regards



In other words, you only changed your radiator?
