Gjokekid:
[b][/b]I meant to say that you should stay away from that volvo car model because its a disaster car

Pls kindly shed more light on this your claim.

I await your response eagerly cos that "disaster" has been such a blessing to us here in naija of recent, maybe we'll learn how its actually a disaster we're enjoying

Epzilon:
Hi sweetie

I have read lot of your posts, and you come to me as a strong, highly intelligent and independent woman.

Ride on bro!!

Fire on, don't back down!!!

We dey your back, send the pm asap

Gazuzz:
I am sure valarinz would be proud

Yea, of course

amdman:
Lincoln is the luxury brand of Ford.

Same way as Toyota/Lexus, Honda/Acura, Nissan/Infiniti, etc.

Thanks, never knew, its now im even looking them up on wiki. Interesting find, I happen to love those Ford edge cars, hence my interest

Frankdamaxx:
Your Valentine is not on FBIs list now.

Lol, before nko, how much i get to deserve fbi attention. Abi they wan seize volvo?

deepwater:
That moment an acclaimed car dealer doesn't know the relationship between a Ford and a Lincoln

Charlie, in all honesty you no get talk for mouth. You just wan vomit lasan.

Now I understand the capacity of personnel I had engaged in discussions on this platform and I regret it. It will never happen again.



Most folks here dont deserve the attention or mention

Never again.

Car dealer aye!

Aunty!!

Im just an ordinary volvo seller na, abi u dey see me do oversabi on car matters for NL?

I think you should try and get some form of love in your life, you're always so bitter, pained, frustrated, looking for a fight, dont u get exhausted?

I'm trying to keep the discussions on the cars posted here by OP, but you're hell bent on seeking unnecessary beafs, pls quote the next poster and try again



Or you can school me on the relationship between the two cars peacefully, it'll be to your credit

amdman:
Na this one we dey take match ground for here... going forward.

Why do I feel this car has a striking resemblance to ford edge 08-010

Is it a collabo like the matrix/vibe?

Frankdamaxx:
Let me go and call Valentine Iro from Prison to show you people how to show off money.

Nansense..

Mr Man, watch it, stop mentioning that name and prison in same sentence

dokyOloye:
You guys should stop derailing this beautiful thread with useless conspiracy theories of people not wanting the OP to succeed.
The car sales market is too large for anybody to expend his energy trying to bring one particular nairaland dealer down.
Nairaland cars deals probably account for less than 0.000001 of d car sales in d country,jiji and olx probably have more deals.

This is a fact lost on most of these guys, what happens here on NL is mainly outpour of frustations.

If the comment options were removed from all car ads, NL share will then get back up to around 5%

AshipaEk0:
??

CRV/RAV 4 of which year?

The other person was specific as to the Volvo year he was asking about.....

Anyway, I don't know much about CRV or RAV 4. I haven't used either.

and I don't know what your question is exactly, I presume you mean fuel consumption?



The 2008 XC90 Volvos have a 72 Litre tank and average 15Mpg City/ 20Mpg Highway




Nobody with fuel consumption as a prime factor buys SUVs BTW.

After make u go meet the barman and collect one chilled bottle of beer, I've already paid

legalwealth:
Nice suggestion!

I also suggest getting and attaching comprehensive(carfax and autocheck) VIN report which he can get for as low as N1,500 to the cars/vehicles he is pushing out.

Because workers of iniquities who were here to disrupt this thread/business will be waiting to see what to use against him since they have miserably failed.

Are you sucking up to her because its not calculusx?,

legalwealth:
Comprehensive VIN report will surely clear doubt on that if he gets and presents it.

Would this have been your response had that comment been made by GAZZUZZ?

From the definition of OP haters so far on this thread, she fits the bill, why the different reaction

6. Ensure the timing marks aligned properly with all timing chain paint marls/links.
Allowing them all to aligned with the timing chain paint marks, helps you to ensured the timing of the engine is correct.

7. Installed the engine in the car, connect everything back in reverse of removal from onset.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with rebuilding engines.

I think people get scared venturing into that line of job, because of the assumptions that fake engine rebuild kits are available everywhere.
Another reasons could be the skill set of the mechanic embarking on the job.

PS: 
Do not try to managed any parts, especially engine related, during an overhaul.

Managing parts, for such a delicate "surgical operation", might in the future come to hunt you.

Do not use expensive engine oils(synthetic) for your bedding in/sitting of the piston rings.
That's waste of resources.

For my rebuilds, I used conventional engine oils to help sit then piston rings properly, and all the test drives I or the owner would be doing for the next 1000km before returning to your oil of choice (might be synthetic).

If you're stuck right now thinking if you should purchase an engine, or rebuild what you got, why not give us a call today?

Oh really! but I (car owner) have heard that rebuilds don't last.
Ok here's the deal:
We'd give you a 1YEAR GUARANTEE ON OUR REBUILDS.

Our engine rebuilds isn't limited to Toyota brands alone. 
We also rebuild Nissans, Honda, etc

We've rebuilt corollas(2002, 2010:2zr),civic 2005, Honda accords evil spirit 2008, 4 and 6 cylinders, Honda pilot 2010; all manner of camry vehicles (big daddy, muzzle, SE, etc); Highlander 2006, Rx400h, Priuses(1Nz). All of these vehicles are still in service.

The most advantage of engine rebuilds is that you're certain about what parts is in the car, unlike a used engine, its a 50/50 thing. It might work for you without issues first. But what about if it has issues? What do you do?

Take it back to seller, and add

This post is being made on behalf of a fellow Nler(TRYGO) whos moniker got banned for posting it.



In some climes, or circumstances, it would be best to replaced an engine, that has finally gone caput, on a highway, where the risks to you, and your vehicle, isn't guaranteed.

Take for instance, you're driving through one of the unsecured roads in the country, and suddenly, your vehicle's engine suddenly breaks down due to engine mechanical problems (seizures, for example).

Assuming, the costs of getting the engine repaired on a particular section of the road, is at most the cheapest options available to get that car back on the road. But because of the risks(bandits, or terrorists) to your life and that of the mechanic, you'd preferred to spend that extra cash purchasing another engine and installing it immediately(though might be expensive).

Today, we'd be delving into the world of engine rebuilds, and most especially, to negate the common myths car owners usually have about such rebuilds, never lasting for awhile (sustainable).

The vehicle in question is a 4Runner V6, with the engine costs running close to a million naira.

                     
                        CASE STUDY

VEHICLE: 4RUNNER 2004, TRD
ENGINE TYPE: 1GR-FE
TRANSMISSION SYSTEM TYPE: AUTOMATIC

CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS: 
1. Excessive engine consumption
4L/week

2. Frequent spark plugs replacements on cylinders #5&6

3. Severe engine misfires while idling

4. Noises at the valve train also when idling

5. Engine loss of power, and visible smoke from the tailpipe.

6. Customer complained of a P0016 code

7. Complained about engine oil dropping down to the sump immediately, at every cold rest.

OUR DIAGNOSIS/DISCOVERIES
1. Simulated all of the customers complaints

2. Retrieved stored codes, P0305 and P0306, which confirmed those cylinders were misfiring badly.
Those spark plugs were removed and was seen to have engine fouling on them, while other spark plugs were OK (firing perfectly).

3. Checked all necessary components that could cause oil shortages or burnings (valve cover gaskets, crankshaft oil seal, flywheel seal and the timing cover for signs of leaks.
There were no leaks.

This led us to understand that the oil shortages was something internal, and not external, as the case maybe!

4. A vacuum hose connected to the intake manifold through the fuel voltage regulator was broken.

THE FIX!
1. Got the engine removed, after all electrical accessory connections/connectors were removed.

2. Got the engine properly timed to TDC, and had the timing components marks on the dual DOHC marked using white marker.
This helps to avoid ambiguities, during installations, etc.

3. Here's the tricky part of the job.
You got to be able to identity exactly on which cylinder banks, cylinders #1 is located.
Being able to decipher that, would help you know which cylinder numbers what piston goes to.

4. Disassembled the entire engine, to ascertained the level of damages that has being done to the internal parts.

Results of disassembled engine parts as follows:

*Piston rings on both cylinder numbers 5&6 had excessive clearances, more than allowable limits.
All the compression and oil rings were clearly out of tolerances.

The pistons on those cylinders were already slapping against the cylinder walls, hence one of the noises from the car.

* Connecting rod bearings had signs of scouring on them(that's like some scratches to say).

* All three timing chains were slack(source of another noises).

* One of the intake/exhaust camshafts auto tensioners, had a broken part.

* The oil pump strainer was half way blocked.
This would cause the engine, especially the valve train area, to be starved of oil supply.

* A lot of metal broken parts were seen in the oil sump or bottom plate.

5. All parts on the car was replaced with genuine new parts.

* All three timing chains

* All valve cover gaskets

* Piston rings, and connecting rod/crankshaft journal bearings

* Crankshaft oil seal, flywheel seal

* Oil pump rotors

Is this what you'll sell next

Fashdeejay:
that one sef dey... but I am kinda interested in one with a cam and a navigation system... drove one of these babies back in the days.... one of the smoothest drives for a 2002 car... drives like a dream

The extra screen for cam starts from 014 as in the first pic

The navigation popup screen is optional and is in the second pic

I don't see how a single car will have both bro

The truth be told, each time i drove my 2.0T volvo S40..... I always had fantasies romancing a Swedish lady......

Was a very pleasant car to drive....... But a 9ja used and bruised version, would do my body chuku chuku........

Now, we're speaking same language.

Naija used XC90/S60 is even better to manage

cc valarinz

Its a rugged car and reliable too, mpg is no bad too. Once you're sure uber/taxify will accept it and riders won't mind too, then you're good to go.

Only reservations i might have is the current state of the car (being naija used), pls perform proper physical inspection before buying, get a pro if u don't know what to look out for
