Wetin my eyes don see for AC matter this year, my mouth no fit talk em finish. Still on it.

On a very good day, my gas just go down. Felt there’s a leakage somewhere, so I went to the repairer place and he search thro. He couldnt see leakage checking thro the pipes. So the culprit should be the evaporator. He removed it and we weren’t crystal clear on it. Let’s just change it, he said. After 3 days of doing that, gas out again.

So I calm down and check thro myself, only to realize there’s hole in the pipe the power steering oil bottle is resting on. Fixed it and use the ac like two week. Then, I start observing noise from the compressor. When it’s not on, the plate will be rolling and making some kind of funny sound. Logically, I have to use ac to stop the noise, till it became unbearable. 23k went down the drain for that.

Used it for some time, but frequently have fuse cuts, till I use wire to bridge fuse on a day I was rushing to meet up with some things and the compressor fried last month. Oga compressor don go, we go buy another one, change drier and flush the system. I get choice?

Ac was mad and we thank the lord. After a week, I don’t understand the blowing, top gas and after 2 days nothing. They didn’t tight this discharge hose well. Oya! Take it out and change the rubber, refill gas… I didn’t even get to Yaba from ikeja and the thing don show em color.

Change ac man, he have to bring everything out. We agree to change hose and the compressor seal was leaking. Took it back to the guy that changed it and the seller told him, he can’t take it back, but will fix the leaking seal. No wahala, just make it work. Do did it and before I got home, no gas again 😂

Another man now. Let’s check the condenser. See let’s just change it, so we did. Drove from surulere to island. Perfect, my hands couldn’t even stand it. On my way back, ac did not work cha cha. I use smile enter house. Next morning, I tried it and it seem manageable, but I observe ac won’t blow while in motion, but a bit chill while in traffic. About last night, it wasn’t effective at all, but feels ok this morning.

I’m suspecting the compressor, but right now strength no deh me. So anything gas need to be top? My hand no deh atall 😂 peace tho, not out to knock any man hustle.

Sorry for your ordeal sir.
😂

Na waoo, they warned you ooo.
Obviously you want to learn the hard way, if he is really interested in helping you he would at least pay u some money.
At this point it's better you look for any excuse reasons to collect money from him, and observe him if u ask for money and he is reluctant to pay of picks offense you better find ur way!!!

I just opened my Bolt app this morning and found the information in the screenshot image.

Please what does this mean? Does it mean my car is delisted or the location is delisted. Anyone who has experienced this before?


Edit. I'm a newbie who only works on Weekends. Pardon my question

Nothing is wrong with your account, it's your location at the moment.
Once u get to the areas bolt can give you requests you'll be fine, It will automatically update itself.

Yesterday was good and bad..I have God to thank for it..I collected one of my Corolla from my driver on Friday night for inspection and I ask him to pick it up by 11am on Saturday...I wanted to go to island to quickly check something in d office so as part of the inspection I'll be driving the car, that in my own way is d best method of inspection..He told me there is no fuel so I promise to buy 5k fuel..left home around 6am with a rider going to IKOYI and by 6:15 I was around town-planning connecting Gbagada express to link Northwest filling station, I notice if I applied brake, I find it difficult to move freely again and I was contemplating if d car would get to island or I should just return home... Immediately a car drove to my left side, called my attention and shouted fire, fire..mehn my heart cut, quickly park by d side, very close to the northwest station and I notice my front right tire was on 🔥...rush to the boot, brought out fire extinguisher and that stuff had nothing in it..saw two ragolis water that I quickly pour on it, raise alarm and guys were flying in from different corner with fire extinguisher, agberos brought water and luckily we were able to stop it...I was able to park it in a safe place..Thanks to those agberos...
The way the rider, a lady jumped out to the express, almost knocked down was another story..
The good news is, she booked another ride, I told her I'll followed her as I need to get to d island myself, the new ride came and when I entered the driver shouted my name, we did Nysc together in kebbi about 16 years ago...lost his contact..a very good old friend, we slept on d same bed for 3 weeks..we chatted all tru..He dropped the rider, took me to the office, got his mech to pick the car and fixing commence immediately....caliper was d culprit!!My driver claim the car was ok at d point of dropping it on Friday! Car dey spoil overnight!!

Sir the truth is cars can develop fault at any time, there is nothing to prove anything was wrong before you drove the car.
Thank God it didn't pass like that, sorry for the stress.
Meanwhile I like this your method of inspection.

If Uber or Bolt blocks u permanent blocking u ain't getting your positive balance. U have been blocked and no longer active so ur account can't receive any money from them.

They paid mine and up till today the account have been on disabled mode.

He should get his money when due, I think. Inbetween, he should contact Bolt, to know why they logged him out.

That money is gone ooo, unless he can still access his dashboard.
Only uber will block and kick you out of their platform and still pay you your negative balance.

To be honest, if u experience civic wahala u fit comit suicide. Not to talk of City. Even Accord. Engine alone is not car, there are more than 100 components associated with or connected in the engine bay. Honda engine is rugged but the gear is ajebo. Engine fit no give u problem but other things can make u sell of the car in frustration.
Just take a look at the car complaints on this thread, how many are corolla? A car gains wide popularity not because people are using it, but because it has been tested and it is actually durable, quality and easy to maintain.

I remember when Jetta was reigning, it didn't last because the first wave of buyers where frustrated, same story with Passat, Peugeot 306/206, Nissan, BMW, Chevrolet and co.

A car is graded for its total package, engine, gear, electrical system, quality of interior, body design and general quality of its parts.
I dare say Toyota is not over rated.
You're right sha.

I used my Corolla from the time I noticed it was burning oil (oil consumption) (2014) till I sold it (2021), I was topping oil 1-2 liters prior to next oil change and depending on usuage. I travelled wella, far trips.
Here in NL car talk, I asked about the problem, a lot said I should save up to buy another engine.
The engine served me wella and still silent till I sold it.

I switched from 5w30 to 20w50. Cos it is a waste of money and synthetic oil. It makes no sense cos I saw it as wasting of expensive oil. I changed it at 5000km instead of 7500km(which I believed it is for the synthetic oil).

Let's not forget that modern cars require top up after 1000km. At least I have seen this in 08 Corolla and 07 Accord.

If u can afford to be topping up the engine will serve you till e tire.

I been wan ask them how many cars dey naija especially for uber wey no dey short oil after two weeks.
