Pilot its 3.5L V6 is reliable and easy on gas compared to the 4.0L in the pathfinder.
Pilot parts are easy to source and technician can fix the issued easily.
The MDX is plagued with transmission issues best to avoid that model year 1 Like |

If I want to change from water to coolant, is it okay to empty only the radiator and leave the one inside the engine?
Once the radiator hose is disconnected the water in the engine will find it's way out too assuming the drain hose is the one below |

Okay. I'll try this. Thank you.
Do you advice buying double cell radiator?
Cos that's what these guys are advertising if thats what is available and is brand new then buy. but check the water pump and fan rotating direction and speed |

Exactly. I've taken it for pressure test. They said its the radiator cap. Changed it and same thing is still happening.
Do you have any technician you can recommend in Lagos? It is either radiator or water pump. Once the temp has risen above the middle mark, switch on your heater, if the temp reduces, definitely your radiator is faulty. 1 Like |

Even the ones listed very expensive, there's no way to guarantee you are getting the genuine oil. Please all the people outside Lagos, how do you go about this?

Wizdom0091:
Boss thank you very much. I very much appreciate. For the engine oil will you suggest I change the oil that came with it thereby servicing it? Or I should use the engine oil in it, if I'm to use the engine oil that came with the car already in it how long should I use the engine oil before changing it and if I'm to change the engine oil that came with the car how long should I use the car before changing the engine oil again.
Thank you very much.
For the jazz I don't have plug on it lol but thanks Change the engine oil because the one in it you cant determine when it was serviced and how long it was used in the vehicle. full synthetic I do 8000kms or 6months which ever comes first and I never had sludge or smoking engine, I used this for 7years with my vehicles. the brands I used were 1. MRS full synthetic 5w40 2. Total quartz 9000 5w40 3. Mobile 1 foreign import 5w30 if you can get a genuine full synthetic engine oil i believe your corolla should do fine, i used MRS on it years ago for my sisters unit. |

Chief this ur review is loaded
May God continue to bless u with wisdom beyond ur imaginations..
I want to use my friend sienna 2002 which he rarely use to transport so as to complement other incomes due to high living cost ..
Am undecided if I should use the vehicle for passenger , car hire for interstate or haulage ..
Really need something that would fetch money on daily basis.
I intend to deliver 20k to him weekly ..
What would u advice me that would be Less stressful and guarantee returns that won't be detrimental to the vehicle . i dont know how profitable transport is currently. but lets say tow gate to sagamu is #1200 now, sienna can seat 7 people without police or FRSC wahala thats #8400. you pay 2k for park lets say u use 10L for the 60km journey thats 6000 fuel plus 2k, your profit is 400. i dont know how people do it but interstate is not profitable again, transportation generally. Haulage and within states is still okay like oshodi to V.I, berger to Obalende etc. i will advice you find a 4cylinder vehicle instead, verso, opel, picnic etc |

The tinnest of maintainance culture regardless of how basic is very important. Likewise safety tips I can take to protect the vehicle. Thank you very
Engine oil a popular brand of 5w30 full synthetic blend should be okay total, mobil, Castrol etc. Transmission toyota type T-IV but for now leave the transmission fluid if the car is direct tokunbo not those indirect tokunbo (driven but not registered unit) Park vehicle in a gated compound buy steering wheel and pedal lock join especially for 03 to 05 with lax security chip. Reduce night waka and avoid notorious neighborhoods known for car jacking. Buy tracker if you can and install to help track the car incase of unforeseen theft. If you are the son of the soil like me, meet babalawo to help you with gbogila jazz so when the vehicle is stolen ayelala will be invoked to disturb the thieves till they return the vehicle. 1 Like |

The engine smokes from inside the bonnet and also leaks oil and water together (all dese we didn't see when we checked the car)
Can anyone recommend a sound Hyundai engineer or tell me the best advice on what to do. Thank you Don't fix the engine, get a replacement engine. Only that I was told the engine is a million plus sha. After fixing get rid of the vehicle ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) |

Worse case put the glass on the car roof and tie it down with rope, pad the roof and glass with cloth or soft foam but avoid VIO and FRSC route cause they are thieves in uniform. |

The multimeter reads 13-14 but when I off the loads, it reduces to 12.6. Sometimes the car just don’t start again. What can be the issue pls. Rewire tested alternator to be okay and battery isn’t up to 1 year. Thanks Let the rewire test the alternator, it may have partial contact or not too good again |

Hello boss.
I'm about this buy a car. Noticed a few things.
1. The steering isnt smooth enough. Has a stiff turn. I won't enjoy driving it this way atall. I'm used to light steering and easy turning of the wheel.
2. The AC really pulls at the engine especially when moving from a stop.
This is a Honda Accord 2009.
I understand I'm buying a Nigerian used car and it won't be nearly 100% perfect. But are this things fixable and not cause regret if I proceed further to purchase the car.
Also noticed the vehicle paper has expired way back in 2016 (same time the custom duty was done). According to the dealer, the person has been using the car in the core north (where all this uniform people don't trouble them) so didn't see need to renew the vehicle papers. What do you think ?
Appreciate your thought on this too 1. The steering assembly is faulty you will need to inspect find the culprit and fix 2. The compressor in the vehicle may be the manual type 3. If nah lagos plate you will pay for those years you didn't renew so put in mind to get a new plate in ur name. Above all your mechanic should tell you cost to fix all the problems you see and advice you accordingly on a fair price to pay for the vehicle |
