Next example

Major issue to look out for Failing transmission

Cost of TOKs N550,000

Another popular example
Honda accord 2003-2007 V6

Major issue to look out for, Failing transmission.

Note the problems associated with transmission failure on most cars are easily avoidable if proper preventive maintenance is carried out and driving habits are normal.

On to the next 1....


Please what would be the cost of a replacement transmission for the Honda Accord 2003 - 2007 V6, mentioned above;?

Mr Gazzuzz, u said for certain cars electrical issues can be restored with ease because they contain very few electrical modules, sadly not every car is wired that way. Can u plz name the types of cars u're talking about? nice work.

Hello Gazzuzz, this thread has been really instructive. Please can you DM me your personal number? I need to talk to you personally.
GAZZUZZ:
[qcolor=#990000]engines and sludge.

There have been times when I inspected vehicles, they ran well and engines were smooth, no smoke, no rattles, but sadly the engines were filled with a lot of sludge.

What is sludge.

Engine with sludge


Engine without sludge





When the vehicle you are about to buy has fans wired directly, thermostat removed, and owner uses 20W50. The chances are that engine is sludge filled.

To verify open oil refill cover, and with a flashlight peep into the valve cover area. If it is dark and greasy you know what you are getting into, so factor it into long term cost.

If it is clean, lucky you.

You can also judge from the oil dipstick, vehicle owners that do not pay attention to oil changes always have very dark stained dipsticks.

Oga Gazzuzz thanks very much for this insightful post. I really think you should run an online mechanic shop. Obviously you do give lots of people assistance online which I have personally benefited from. More power to your elbows and God will continue to expand your ministry. Gazzuzz I hail O!!

Are you saying that removed thermostat causes oil sludge?
