So I got a user beep me up that he wants to buy my V6 Highlander... Called my guy to bring back the ride as he has been sampling it at his shop for sometime now.
He brought it and it was misfiring. Oga buyer said he can't detect if gear is selecting due to jerking. I told him to take 50k off my final asking price and fix the misfiring. He said no that I should go ND fix it. Then he can know if he would buy or not.
So my stressful ordeal started by asking my kazeem to fix the issue... He said it was Fuel pump and Starting coil... Oya buy and put. Las las it was still having little misfiring.

Me :Kazeem I want this engine to be stable, I don't need to be on the defensive side during this negotiation.

Kazeem: Oga, it will clear. Na fuel dey cause am.

Me: Oya buy 3k fuel put am.
The misfiring comes to clearer when AC is on and car is in traffic and kinda 20% on speed).
Took the car home yesterday and was not impressed.

Me:Kazeem am bringing this car back, plz check the plugs you said you changed.
(Took the car to him today)

Kazeem: Oga mi, the plugs dey fire wells.

Me: Wetin cause the misfiring na, abi you talk say na fuel and I don buy enough fuel. Moreover, the fuel gauge stopped working wetin cause am, it was working b4 you changed the pump.

Kazeem: Oga, na electrician go check am.
(I was just tired and I needed to go home and shower then have something to eat. Drove the car few poles from his shop and entered one bad pothole and the engine just went off... Just the normal indicators showing on dashboard. Tried to start car again, no show)

Me: Hello Kazeem, your car just stopped, engine to gree start again.

Kazeem: Oga leave am make e cool small. E go start. I dey come meet you.

Me: I don't understand, is this not a routine for faulty fuel pump? What nonsense is this Kazeem.

Kazeem: Oga I dey come.

(Kazeem Came, tried all the magic in his power, said fuel pump is not pumping again and finally I told him I want to call my brother who sales spare parts at Alaoji)

Kazeem: Oga tell him to bring Belgium V8 pump. I no just trust all these new pumps.
(I just open mouth dey look Kazeem)
Me: Brotherly, abeg you get V8 pump for my ride? Kazeem say na V8 better ooo

Bro: Wetin happen to the one he bin put.
(After narrating to him what happened)

Bro: Tell Kazeem to call electrician to check that car.

Me: Kazeem, plz call your brother to come check the electrical side of this car.

Kazeem brother came finally, did his magic and the car started to work. Was so tired that I just drove my car and stopped at Akwa Ibom woman's place to by Editan soup with fufu. Came back to start the car, put key in ignition, opened the ignition and was hearing some humming sound from the fuel pump chamber. Tried starting the car and hard a cranky sound as it started, then it went off again. Tried it again, same thing, finally on the 3rd try it started. Discovered temperature was high and compressor wasn't coming up again. Got down, check engine room and saw that radiator fan was disconnected.

Kai!!! I feel like killing Kazeem right now.

I am just at home and thinking how to handle Kazeem and him brother

Certain car issues can really make one run made. Sometimes you'll wish its a really bad dream and it will all go away once you wake up. Ditch these kazeems and look for a better repair shop to go. Sometimes googling also helps to narrow down the issue.

pocohantas:


Pls don't. Your friend will most likely phone another friend, I do not have much calltime

Just tell me how to set my destination or best route via bus - with Surulere/Ikeja as my take off.

ajoks533:


Have been to one repair shop.. They claim to have a Chinese man as boss... Ended up spending my small hard earned money that year and still left with the car at a worst state.
Whereas, some Kazeem know their job.

Seniors, pls wat cud be wrong with dis corolla .

Yestday evening ,on my way home.

I start engine, engage d gear to 'R'. Then reversed , afterwards engaged to 'D'.

Normally, the dashboard lights up in lyk 2secs after d 'D' is engaged.

But yestday evening, d dashboard didn't light up.

I also noticed, DTS yestday, when I slow down to enter pothole, it doesn't move immediately after pressing d accelerator, it stalls a bit, then all of a sudden it moves quickly wt speed.

Pls anyone here experienced such before?

Cc: Seniors, Gazzuzz
