Please need help with my Elantra 2014 model.
Started with this;
When I turn on the car, it will run but if I turn it off and try to start it, it won't start till after some hours.
I changed battery but failed. Took it to my mechanic who scanned and changed alternator, key start and a couple other items but no response.. he even checked the fuel ⛽️ but nothing..

In fact the car returned worst than it left...

Pls can someone suggest where I can get help in lagos..

Maybe your Kickstarter is on the way out.

@jceesquare your attention is needed.

Rest in peace Gaz.
Never met you but I was hoping to do so someday. You have helped me quite a few times over the phone when I have car issues. Thrice or so if my memory is right. You have left an indelible mark on car talk section of nairaland.
Rest easy bro.

Since yesterday I hv been disturbed by his absence on both his Whatsapp group and nairaland. I actually went to check when last he commented on any thread on nairaland and I silently prayed he was alright. This is sad man. When I bought my car in 2022, he was one person I called a few times as a newbie car owner and he always answered me. RIP champ.

I created this thread because you said igbo own 70% pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria..

These are the major Pharmaceutical companies own by Nigerians in Nigeria.

This thread is a joke. I work in the pharmaceutical sector. Some of the companies listed here are publicly traded companies. There are some pharma companies owned solely by private individuals who are doing great great things More than these Companies you listed.

my car is 3 years plus now and it doesn't.....give it to Honda when it comes to engine abeg

My Acura is 4 years in naija and 2 years as mine. Even after 3,000km that I do my oil change, the oil level is the same place where it was after servicing. Does not reduce. Honda engines are good.

Just 15,000 new vehicles?

Story for the gods

On a normal day, it will take quite a lot for 2 women to kill me.

Even this one that is a priest cannot try and be different from ordinary politicians. What will it take him to conduct proper elections in each local government? Man is already moving like Wike and co.

Africa’s largest oil refinery, Dangote Refinery, has moved the date of production of premium motor spirit (PMS), popularly known as petrol, from June to the middle of July.

The President and CEO of the refinery, Aliko Dangote, confirmed the new production date to newsmen at the $20 billion facility in Lagos on Monday.

Dangote mentioned that the change in date was due to a slight delay, prompting the shift from the originally proposed June to mid-July.

The CEO said the refinery will commence production of petrol between 10 and 15 of July, while supply to local marketers will commence from the third week of the same month.

“We had a bit of delay, but PMS will start coming out by 10 to 15 of July. But then we want to keep it in tank to make sure that it settles. So by third week of July, we’ll be able coming out to take it into the market,” Dangote said.

Backstory

Earlier, the Dangote refinery was expected to begin production and supply of petrol this month, according to different reports.

For instance, analyst at the Standard and Poor’s’ Global (S&P Global) Commodities Insights predicted that the refinery will start supply of petrol in the fourth quarter of this year, particularly in the month of June.

“We are starting to see signs of activities, but all eyes are on when we’ll start to see gasoline production will commence from that project. There is a significant amount of pressure from the Nigerian government for significant volume of that supply to be sent to the domestic market.

“In reality, when we see that start scale up is still subject to debate. Dangote has recently been espousing some punchy timelines. They have most recently been saying that they are looking to produce gasoline by May. But in reality, our analyst expect that would be something like the fourth quarter of this year in a more realistic timeline,” the analysts said.

Exportation of Jet Fuel

Meanwhile, the refinery has begun the supply of jet fuel and diesel to domestic marketers in the country.

In addition, the $20 billion facility started exporting its first jet fuel cargo to Europe.

The first shipment, loaded onto the vessel “Doric Breeze,” left the Lekki Free Zone in Lagos on May 27th and is now on its way to Rotterdam, Netherlands, as per data from S&P Global Commodities at Sea.
More Insights

The Dangote refinery is expected to significantly reduce Nigeria’s dependence on imported petroleum products.

Nigeria, despite being the most populous country in Africa and its top oil producer, ironically imports almost all of its fuel.

Primarily, this is attributed to the nation’s lack of sufficient refining infrastructure, a gap that the new refinery seeks to fill.

Dangote said the refinery is positioned to be one of the best petroleum refineries in the world.

“What we are doing is to be able to export petroleum products to anywhere and compete with any company. By next week, we’ll be producing about ten thousand ppm in terms of diesel which now what’s happening in that we import about 2 to 3 thousand. We will produce the best,” Dangote added.

LudaChriz:
There's this Toyota Camry 2001 that I wanted to buy, Nigerian used with clean body. Invited a friend who uses same car to check it out but he suggested the rings are not good and that the car smokes after dipping his finger into the exhaust pipe and saw dark smoke in his finger.
NB: He did not drive the car as there was no enough fuel. He only started the engine and left it for some times

Please what's your take on this? Should I invite a technician to check it out? What's the cost of rings assume I have to change them? What's the implication of the dark smoke?

The last user of the car is a soldier as I was told

This one you are sounding this way, it seems that car price they put for you is cheap. Beware oo

iamtoofan:
i don't like civic, i like cars that can serve plus nice interior

what about honda accord 09/11 models whats the review

Tsx is actually a nice ride. A compact executive sedan. Just know say no be anywhere u go dey go with the car. Also u will get enough compliments and offline rides. Also note that the parts can be pricy. Just look at the price of the bumper and headlights or just the grille on jiji. U go shout.

But to break even, a smaller engine would have been better.

iamtoofan:
Hello guys, how is Acura tsx 09/010 for Uber service. camry would have being my choice but the budget no reach

in general whats the rating of an acura tsx for ube. appreciate the guide

Have u bought it or you are intending to buy it?
If you have bought it and have started driving it, what's the fuel consumption like? What's the engine size? Is it the same 2.4L engine that is in previous generation?

I drive an 08 TSX. I only get good mileage on the highway. But city drive, hmmm. You must also make sure the Air/fuel sensor is good. Mine is bad. I have bought 2 different sensors and none have erased that check engine light. I believe that's what's making my city drive have a bit high fuel consumption.

As for e-hailing, I used it briefly in 2022. Only on weekends. Then subsidy has not been removed and the earning was a bit fair. But since Jan 2023, its been strictly a personal car.

petrusevents:
hello gurus,
What's the best oil for Honda civic 03 Naija used.
The dealer said he didn't know the oil the previous user was using.

also, how can i know the engine type and capacity.

From the car papers given to you, you can call the owner and make your enquiries. That's what I did.

PlaybooyGANG:
Please my people help me !!!! My Camry 2013 don collect cloth from my body !!!

Car started doing overheating after short drives, mechanic said it’s engine issues, fixed it but it’s still doing overheating! Later another mechanic said it’s radiator, changed radiator same thing, then they concluded it’s the engine, can you guys believe I bought borale engine !! Mechanic fixed it and before I could drive for about 1hr, engine totally Fried and melted !! Now they are saying it’s the radiator that caused it ! Guys I’m so depressed right now, they’ve dismantled the engine and told me to buy another engine again!!!

Please who has a very good mechanic that can handle this ? I want to buy a complete engine and fix this issue, it’s making me depressed and all these mechanics i use seem not to get what’s going on. They are just doing trial and error! Help me with a connect for a good complete engine and also a mechanic that knows his stuff!!! Help before this car kills me abeg

This one na big wahala. For this economy mechanic dey use u enrich his pocket because of his ignorance? Na wa.
As a car owner, you should know things that can cause overheating and start checking them one by one before even changing the first engine. Things like your radiator cover, your radiator fans, water pump, the radiator itself, the radiator hoses, the thermostat might be stuck in close position if you have one in the car and other things. I believe you would have found the culprit without resoring to change of engine. Anyway the deed has been done.
State your location so that the gurus will know who to refer you to.

StOla:
Direct your disgust to the Obi arse licker and propagandist who quoted me in hypocrisy and was adequately replied.

He quoted you based on the issue on ground. Why digress from the issue to something else?

StOla:
Is there any Nigerian government since the return of democracy that voluntarily gave the Labour unions anything without back and forth negotiations, even strikes?

Or the many different strikes that happened in Anambra under Governor Obi was the handwork of the opposition?

Any Small thing, you and your ilks will mention anambra and Obi. You are talking of Nigerian governments and how they handle labour issues and instead if you comparing federal government led by tinubu to those led by previous government, you have started mentioning obi. Does Obi give you nightmares? Jesus christ

Does Peter Obi know you exist?

If someone could asslìck Diezani till he japa to Yan-Canada, what's bád in me making him my role model?

He say make I change my ways... Lol what do you know about my ways?

Who are you to decide what is right or wrong?

If we try to investigate properly you might probably like alcohol or smoke occasionally. Things that I have never done in my life. I don't even womanize and I have a strong faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Now tell me, why do you think I will go to hell for showing over time with proofs that Tinubu is better than Peter Obi and he's doing what's best for the country?

Tell me why you won't go to hẹll fire for assuming I am being paid for supporting Tinubu.

So who should change his ways, you or myself?

People are talking about a president that have destroyed the economy and you keep mentioning a man that came third in the election. What is your fixation with Peter Obi? A sitting president has made the economy worse and you are calling a name that's not close to the corridor of power. Is he the one ruling us? Haba. Everything is not political contest. Elections have cone and gone and the supreme Court has acknowledged a winner. But the winner is faring extremely badly and you keep mentioning a name that is not the presidents name.

Na now una expenses go increase. To fuel and maintain a car this period is not easy.

Rest in peace Ma

If you do this to my mum, even if I am on the moon, I am coming back to earth. And either I aor the person will die that day. What? My own mother? No fvcking way.

remi4ever:
Bro me too. My fuel economy is beyond amazing.

You didn't see my previous comments.

My thermostat is in place and fan works as it should. No bypass... I cleaned the throttle body some weeks ago. The rpm drop is only when I'm on idle. The moment i move and rpm reached 1k+ vibration reduces and everything normalises.

Thanks.

How many fans does your car have? Can u confirm if they are all working well? There was a time I didn't know one of my fan has spoilt and I was experiencing all you have been experiencing. I only use my Ac on the move. If I get to a stop, I have to switch off because the RPM drops, the AC stops cooling and I get vibrations from the engine bay. I visited my mechanic and complained. They just switched on the car and watched it. One fan didn't come on. I changed it that day and that issue stopped. So you have to also think in that direction.
