In this age and generation. I will feel so ashamed to be caught behind the wheels of such an old car. Not even pencil light. Better make I dey trek.

Omoapena:


I hate that noise from Google map, it annoys me and I don't keep my eyes on Google map, I just glance through the route it suggests and I know where to till I get closer to destination.

U know lagos roads very well na. I prefer the voice directing me than looking at the screen.

Ajibaiye:
Bosses please which of these below maps you use on a daily basis that don’t disappoint.

1. Google Maps

2. Waze

3. Map

No be everything you go ask oga.
Use them. Experience will tell u which u prefer. Someone might say this and you end up preferring that. I did e-hailing briefly in 2022. I used Google map. I tried Waze and I didn't like it then because it wasn't voicing out as Google map voices out directions. Maybe I didn't set the waze well but then I returned to my Google map. I have also seen someone use the Google map but removed the voicing out because he didn't like the noise. So use them and find what works best for u.

You're right. Acura get mad security. A friend is using one of their salon car but the guy dey complain say him fuel dey quick disappear what did he expect when salon car dey use rim 17 tyres

Does rim size affect fuel consumption?
Hearing this for the first time.

Benagro:

Thanks so much.
Exactly, the noise is sometimes embarrassing and just like you said I guess it maybe the belt isn't the correct size, pls how do I know the correct size or number for civic 06

Use Google

Benagro:


Yes, in fact it was fixed wrongly(too tight) so it cut and since then the noise has increased after fixing again

Check if the correct belt size was used. I suffered this thing last two weeks on my car. My mechanic fixed a wrong belt size and I didn't know. My bearings started making embarrassing noises. It became so noisy shame dey catch me tonput on the car at home. I bought 2 more belts of same size and the noise won't go away. He said it was the rollers. I told my colleagues and they said na wrong belt size. I went to my former mechanic and he got my main belt and the noise stopped. My car uses 6pk1753 belt size and the former mechanic was putting 6pk1791. Until I got the right belt size, that's when the noise stopped.

Benagro:
There is this sound coming from my car civic 06 at time it becomes very loud and sometimes not much but it happens mainly when I am not speeding my mechanic said it's the roller and I should continue with it for the time being then change it later, the sound it very annoying. Pls any idea of the cost of roller,(timing belt tensioner )will it not cause more damage if I continue to leave has he advice? Pls help

Did you change your belt recently?

FILEBE:



It's a 2008 model. There's water in the tank when checked. I removed thermostat to check if maybe the thermostat malfunctions but same thing still happens when parked uphill.

Fuel pump checked, it's okay. I could parked on a level ground for days and come back to start my car. If I park inclined upward with engine off for over 3 to 4 hours, the sparkplugs become water wet.
Temperature gauge reads normal .

Some people said head gasket or a hole somewhere on the engine block or cylinder head.


I want to be sure, i don't want them doing trial and error method

2008 model of what suv oga?

Djdamian:


While filling out the online registration, I selected "factory tint" as my option but didn’t any ing documents. I hope that won’t be an issue?

Also, I noticed there’s a mention of a non-refundable fee, so I decided to pause the process until I get some clarity.

this is exactly where i stopped.
meanwhile i saw somewhere either on this nairaland or twitter where people were saying they were paying as much as 20k to policemen before they could attend to them. some said if u no pay, they will just look away from you and the stress of coming the next day with the vehicle to that place will make you cough out the money.

Firebox123:
this is my WhatsApp number

Search for it on Google and nairaland

The same Stephen ayantoye using different alternative moniker to attack me cos I expose him on every thread on nairaland

Noobody can testify to it cos he impersonate noobody on nairaland and Facebook for exposing his scamming activities also

so if you have other numbers, how do we know?
this is a faceless forum.

You people really have time to reply that irritant.

i did my roadworhiness at lasu center on tuesday. i saw a danfo that came for the same process. last year i saw two okada that came for same thing at the vehicle computerised test center at lasu.

The prices of tokumbo and used Nigerian cars is so appealing here. Used Nigeria cars from over 20 yesrs for 3 to 4 million naira? Come on

Learn to differentiate between appalling and appealing.
They have two different meanings.

Nigerian police don start again. Another tinted permit. You will renew annually with #14,200. Wether na factory tint oo, or you do an yourself, U go pay. Enforcement starts May 30th

Every sane human being knew Mele Kyari and his goons were playing with Nigerians. History will place that ignoble human being on the same pedestal as Hadi Sirika of the famed Air Nigeria. Scammers who were aided by 2 buffons in the person's of Buhari and Tinubu.

Thane:



how do u check the oil % in acura mdx?

go to youtube. you will see videos directing you on how to do that.

APC government will arrest him, claim to rehabilitate him and send him out again. Useless government

2cribz:
100 percent sure. Its the knock sensor. Maybe bank 1 or bank 2. Also check yoir trans oil if its guaged while gear is on D and handbrake or legbrake on. But im 100% sure its from a bad knock sensor. Just youtube it. Bad knock sensor symptoms

You couldn't even suggest he scans that car and you are already sure what the problem is.

Lmao

66forlife:



Hello bro I would like you and your fellow drivers who are on here and are willing to make some extra income aside from e-hauling it’s pretty simple and it’s DIY. If you’re interested let me know. Very important

All these Forex people. Why not continue making the money for yourself? You no go like be like dangote? Any venture where someone is trying to drag people in so that they can earn like he is doing is a red flag. Businesses don't easily reveal whatever trade secret that is keeping them ahead.

This is madness.
Democracy is this country has been bastardised.
Imagine ordinary ibas?
Governors need to condemn this rubbish.

Thane:

Mention one thing you have ever said and sticked to, you promised never to engage me again but this is the 3rd time you have done so. I thought you said you're not going to speak about the rentals again too since you used the money you're owing me for giveaway here.

You still owe me MF, either you pay me so I can shut up for life or you keep rolling and we pretend like we don't see each other. Onigbese Pay me oooo

Make una dey try use correct english abeg. Some of una english dey cause headache.There is nothing like sticked to. Use stuck not sticked.
Also know when to use full-stops and comma. After that your gbagaun sticked to, a full stop should follow and not a comma. Same issue after you still owe me MF.
I come in peace.

Hey guys,
An accord 2015 owner here. Car is plagued with many issues since I got it, but after spending so much since Nov 2024 till now, I felt the month of march was relatively stable until the car broke down at 11pm from a night of flenjo.

After series of trying to start it, it suddenly picked up 10mins later and luckily I was near home and r fuse to drive anywhere afterwards

Called a nearby mechanic to come check and first he said nothing is wrong with car that it is my fuel and I should used a fuel injector cleaner.

Got home and it broke down again the next day, luckily again I was close to my house when it happened.so this time the mechanic checked the pressure of the fuel pump, spark plugs and certified it good, serviced the fuel injector system. Now he says one of the cylinder is misfiring and they are suspecting it's a brainbox problem.

Rewire is suggesting testing another brainbox on the car, and if that fails they would have to check the engine if maybe gasket is bad but it has been established that one of the cylinders is the issue

I m wondering why they aren't seeing the exact cause since they use a car scanner abi thier own na for sakamanje or could this be a mechanical issue

I am already tired coz this is now day 4 at the mechanic workshop.
Who has experienced this before with an accord 2015

Forgot to add, the car starts and after 10 seconds it goes off except I keep on reving it like a danfo drive otherwise it will go off
Its like I need to keep reving it for it to stay alive

Car is just 6 months old in my hands and now at verge of selling it at a discounted price.

You should even have your own scanner and not depend on your mechanic. if you had a scanner, you would have seen the codes and that will even give you an idea of whatever is going on before a mechanic touches your car.
scan the car and post codes.
