JAYUK:
I have a 2011 Toyota Sienna SE V6,I have been worried sick about the issues with the car.I once contemplated selling the vehicle.
Vehicle has 70k mileage on it,came in as Toks.
I observed check engine, VSC and a warning sign were illuminated in yellow.
Scan showed P0037, P2238 & P2241.
I have made inquires here and there, changed two oxygen sensors the error light comes back after some hours. On further scrutiny I observed the vehicle has no catalytic converter which I tried pricing, the price was on the high side.
Please I have a few questions?

1.Must the catalytic converter be replaced for the oxygen sensors to function well.
2.Can the oxygen sensors perform optimally with out the catalytic converters.

Please am pleading if anyone Has a better idea or resolution to my challange, please share

I bought this car last year Volvo s80 around October , the engine was sound but needed a little body work

Paint was 180k
Interior fix was : 65k
I paid without problem little did I know that those guys were criminals

It started from there everyday one thing will spoil to another so I decided to bring the car down to my town and fix the issue car that I spent over 600k to put in top notch could not travel from Onitsha to nnewi and started over heating

After alot of discouragement to find another car and buy and dump that one I turn deaf ears thanks to the person that sold the car to me he linked me up with a good mechanic who charged close to 100k just to fix the over heating after he told me that I need to change the radiator to be able to use the AC for like 6hours plus

Coz now u can't use the AC for more than 4 hours without the car over heating


But that is fine


Now how did it make me wicked

Fear Onitsha people 99.9% of them are all greed

After the repair my fuel gauge stopped working which dey charged me 22k to repair it window whiner three doors stopped working also and they billed me 10k for each

Then radiator 35k

Omo I see all this I decided to leave the car like that next month I will buy golf 4 tok and rest


So last week on normal cruise my fuel hose got cracked by an erected stone and as I was confused on what to do a guy from nowhere appearred and assist me and we park well and I bring out my triangles

He repairs it and ask me to come to there work shop so they will detect why there still fuel smell in the call so we drove and enter his workshop after the quick repair this guy naked the car trace it to fuel pump he went to Onitsha the next day and buy only the cap and fix the car for 10k and I asked him how much to repair the fuel gauge omo he said let him check first after some minutes he called me back and said 500naira

I said come again he said 500naira I said ok do am

Later in the evening I went and inspect my car and Omo the fuel gauge is working

I asked him does he know any body that can help me with the window whiners he linked me up with a guy that said one with engine is 5k the three is 15k and work manship is 4k

Omo I had to call the guy at Onitsha to confirm why he said I have to pay 22k for fuel gauge even new one no reach 10k he talk all sort of wayo words I said ok I will bring the car this Monday am sure in the morning he will call then I go gist him and tell him this is not the right way to earn for a living


Omo since then even pure water I dey price am

Beside most of my friends that had ride my Volvo s80 dey confirm the car

The speed no be here the AC Na confirm few minutes the car is ice , fuel I had to give it A+ that side , electrical issues I never experience none , Volvo no just fancy ooo but there engine no be moi moi u need to see where I dey ginger most SUV for road

Planing to change the radiator nd window whiners this week to enjoy the car to maximum level and also planing to add s60 to my list before mid year but Na tok I will go for this time around

Let me educate u just a little my friend. We have 3 classes of people i.e the rich, middle class and the ones below the middle class(Poor).
Their mind set is different and so is their income levels. The rich drive certain cars like Benz, BMW, Rang Rover, Land Rover, Ferrari or
Lamborghini and above, which is classified as American, European (German/Sweden/Italian cars) and British cars. They use this primarily
because of prestige(wealth), safety purpose, balance, speed and standard.

The middle class use less of these mentioned above but rely more on Japanese, Chinese and Korean cars because of cost of maintenance
and 2nd hand value.

The poor on the other hand rely mostly on Japanese cars because of fuel cost, maintenance cost and some times their
poverty mentality which tells them no one will see value in those cars, after someone uses them. They also have and maintain
a notion that no other type of car is better than Japanese cars...indeed poverty is a very big diseases.

Having used a lot of cars myself, I noticed that Japanese cars are good but American, European (German/Sweden/Italian cars) and British cars are
much better in every area.
In conclusion, u cant give what u dont have. If u never go, u no go know. I told Ayo (a friend) that any day he drives a benz, he will always go for
Benz. He doubted me, until he drove one. As we speak, he is using his second benz and is not willing to change brand anytime soon... I have used
1 Benz, 1 Hyundai, 4 Range Rovers/ 2 Land Rovers, 1 VW product, 1 Ford and 2 Volvo. A brand new BMW will come in less than 2 years from now...
Poverty is not when u dont have cash to spend, its the way u think. It either brings in poverty or riches. Change ur thinking bro and enjoy life to the
fullest. Good luck sir.

The botton is not there but the remote is around. Tried it once and it didnt work. I will try it again.

Stockquality:
Dont be fooled,he must have sold it for 600k then come online to blow lies. Volvo is a scrap vehicle. Just like nissan

Stockquality:
Volvo is a very odd car.with no 2nd hand value

How about the S60? Which engine variant is reliable?

Dukeolumidemans:
How do I get the remote that can operate the navigation screen? It doesn't come out when I start the car and I don't know how to do it manually.
