CityNG:

These are just my opinions though and my automotive opinion is why clients choose me (I like to think it is anyways).

And your bank acct is happy @CityNG.

Nice dialogue between CityNG and Oseo1.

Car Talk / Re: LPG CARS AND REFILL STATIONS by Gluck4cars: 11:06pm On Oct 14, 2014
Benin city is being used for a pilot scheme for the introduction of CNG (compressed natural gas) in Nigeria.
There are about 12 filling stations there, and thousands of private and commercial vehicles using CNG.
NOTE:
There is a huge difference between LPG (liquified natural gas) and CNG. The last time I checked, LPG had to be converted to CNG before it can be used in cars.

Thanks for your time. But please read the question and respond in the order requested if you which to add value to the discussion here...Do wires "Expire"?
sultaan:
First mistake is to let people mess with the car without scanning to know what was actually wrong.
Second was after it is all messed up now you are looking for help online; damage is done.

Depending on what has been damaged,spliced, chaffed, or burnt it will be better to find another wiring harness from a junk yard.I don't even know what they have done with the ground wires but they damaged it and they don't have a clue to what they need to do.
Car Talk / Re: Does Vehicle Wires Expire? Case Of Endless Repairs Of A Ford Scorpio by Gluck4cars: 12:38pm On Oct 13, 2014
Electrical wires used in vehicles are sleeved thus eliminating possibility of damage to wires by corrosion or rusting. You can only notice corrosion/rust at terminals.
However, for the purpose of the subject of this thread, we may consider any damage to car wires that are NOT visible to the eye (eg burns or cut) or result of human mal-handling as EXPIRATION.

nurey:
Come on wires don't expire. Don't you buy electrical wire fittings for home use, they don't have expire date stamped on them.

Wires don't expire but can corrode, get rusted or break that causes their service year to expire. But for such to happen, it is either the wire material used has been subjected to extremes of conditions or the wrong wire is used for the wrong purpose. Chikena

[b]AIR FILTERS:
The air filter is made up of a paper mesh that prevents airborne debris such as dust, sand, leaves from being sucked into your car's engine and cause serious damage.
If your air filter gets too dirty or clogged, your engine won't be able to suck enough air into the combustion chambers causing poor performance and potentially shortening the life of the car. In this circumstance, the engine will run rich (i.e., too much fuel and not enough air) resulting in high fuel consumption. When this happens, your car will lose power and jerk. Foreign particles act as abrasives on the metal parts of an engine, wearing engine bearings, rings, pistons and cylinders. Your Check Engine (or Service Engine Soon) light may also come on.
How often do you change the Air filters? We always suggest that you consult your owner's manual. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations on type and frequency of replacement filter. For instance, for many of its vehicles, General Motors suggests that, you change the air filter every 60,000-mile for normal/moderate driving conditions. But for severe driving conditions like driving through muddy waters, experts advice that you change the vehicle's filter every two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Car Talk / Re: Selling Only Accident Or Salvage Cars by Gluck4cars: 12:27am On Oct 13, 2014
My investigation and industry experience proofs that most cars sold in Nigeria's tokunbo market are salvage titles. Examples are accidented and even flooded, which comes with damaged electrical modules/ecu. So, to that extent your idea is not new. What I think is new is that you want to execute your transactions with full disclosure of the vehicles actual status and also offer advice on were repairs could be procured.

It should be very viable because the vehicles are offered very cheap since they are already written-off by insurance and so very affordable to your buyers. However, you need to check-out how your proposal will fit into Nigerian government's new policy of SON inspection certificate for used imported vehicles (cost N20k). Check SON guideline for what would pass. They are to stop the entry of certain grade of salvaged vehicles.


Mist100:
A colleague discussed with me about his desire to set up a platform where he can sell accidented cars and refer buyers to partner auto shops for onward fixing with considerable guarantee.

You have a choice of fixing your car yourself with your own mechanic but he will strongly recommend his trusted auto shops. The concept is being transparent and delivering exact value for money. How viable do you think this idea is?

[b]Recently a new client narrated to me his experience involving repairs of his ford scorpio car having difficulties starting.
Mechanics and Electricians got to work offering solutions such as:
i) Setting of Timing,
ii) Starter motor (Kick-starter) replacement,
iii) Electrical circuits (fuses, relays) checked,
iv) Sensors (Cam) swap,
v) also ECU changed yet no solution then the technicians announce that the vehicle wires have EXPIRED.

For those who want to ask if vehicle was diagnosed. My client is of the opinion that he believed he was working with technicians who came highly recommended; and on his part he provided everything that was requested of him.

PLEASE RESPOND IN THIS ORDER:
i) Do vehicle wires expire? Or was it a final excuse for their failure, by the technicians handling the job?
ii) If wires expire, how do we ascertain this?
iii) If wires expire, what will be the remedy?
iv) If wires expire, at what stage should this diagnosis be made vis-a vis all the other suggestions that were proffered and Client made to bear the expenses for the failed trials?

Experts in the house your contribution is most welcomed as we strive to revamp the maintenance sector in Nigeria.
NOTE: The story continues. Owner continued with the suggestion of the Expired wire theory. I will post outcome after your comments

[b]Servicing Consumables:

i) Fram filters: These are OEM quality and very affordable. If you are servicing your vehicle with synthetic oil for extended mileage, then you need to ensure that the oil filter will be good to go for that length of time (avrg. 6months). There are fram filters for different car models, you only need to know the part no. for your car.
The exposed mesh filter (Mahle) seen in the 2nd filter is what you find in more recent engines (2009 specs and recent). This particular one is for Land/ Range rovers 2010.

ii)Oil: There are basically two types of oil. Mineral based oil and the other is the Synthetic oil. This is irrespective of what brand name (Mobil Total, Castrol, Toyota, Honda etc) on the can. Also the winter weights (15w20, 0w30, 0w40 etc) could apply to either of the 2 types of oil. We might discuss the relevance of the winter weights some other time. Now cost and frequency of service will determine which of the 2 types of oil you will use. If you intend to service every 3,000-5000km (2-3 months interval) then you go for a mineral based oil for average N3000 per gallon. But if you intend to service every 15,000-20,000km (5-6 months interval) then you go for synthetic oil. for average of N9000 per gallon.

Hello @all.
Good morning. Use the opportunity of the holiday and go check your vehicle for any faults. Preventive maintenance is far cheaper than the corrective maintenance. Cheers.

You don't need an immobilizer, but certainly want a tracker if you want to know the location of your vehicle if stolen or if your driver is dishonest.
