Conner44: Do you know that I'm actually suspecting catalyst for my engine oil burn, I guess that might be the culprit coz when we opened the top cylinder, the camshaft is still very clean and there was nothing like smudges inside. I will fix another catalyst to see the effect |
Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Conner44: 11:48am On Jul 04 |
Omoapena: No no no, you didn't understand my post. Bad catalysts or O2 sensors are both symptoms of oil burn and not its cause Blackbishop already hinted at your valve seals (minor repair) as being the culprit. The other culprits could be bad cylinder walls (major repair) or pcv valve (easy replacement) 4 Likes |

Greetings Bosses in the house. I recently gave my mechanic money to buy new gear hoses for my matrix after i found out its leaking. Fee days laterone of the hose burst on my way back from a trip and all the gear oil were lost . Had to park the car and look for a mechanic it was then I noticed that one of the hose isn't meant for gear oil. New hose was bought as well as new gear oil and the gear got back on actio. I drove down and confronted my mech. He apologized it wasn't intentional, then i told me to pary nothing happens to my gear. Few days later the gear would take few minutes to engage in the morning and drives fine the rest of the day till d nxt morning, sometimes i will have to shift to D2 b4 it will engage. Called my ,,m ech again to complain and he suggested we wash the bottom plate that its dirty. We did that yesterday and it took the car much longer time to engage this morning. But it drive normal since today. Please I need your candid advice/ suggestions. Neither any part of the engine nor gear has been worked on since I bought the car 2019, expect the plugs |

LOZENGE: Your gearbox was driven for some miles while under severe starvation of lubrication ![]() I'm sorry, it will only get worse. Just fill up and never touch it again and watch its deterioration. It would get to a stage and then stabilise but I doubt it will ever function as it did before the unfortunate 'hose bursting' incident ![]() You'd have to manage it as it is so far as it still functions for your use. 5 Likes |

LOZENGE: Good day boss, my 2 cents here is that any car that has a high mileage you don't drain out the transmission transmission fluid completely u only drain a certain portion and top it back with the fake we have here..... Also the fluid flushed out when you were driving if am correct? If I was the mech you called I will advice you to let the gear cool down before any work can be done... once you open or top the gear oil when hot boss so pe otilo...... |

Gentlelife50: 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. 3 Likes |

LOZENGE: If your car is still engaging and driving fine throughout the day after the early morning problem then let it be. Just start saving to buy another gear in the future. U can still use the car like that for the next 2 years or more provided u make sure ur oil is properly guaged. Any opening of that gear now is a definite 50/50 and even the 50% good, I give u just few months and u are in the market for another gear. The only reason u should try working on ur gear is if it is not moving again at all and a technician has given u up to 3 months guarantee, then it is worth the trial. 3 Likes |

LOZENGE: Most gear specialist na bullshit. Why is he giving a guarantee of 6 months ,if he's sure of his stuff. Better don't throwaway money. After 2 months, if there's any issue, he won't refund your money. Don't be surprised, he will ask you to pay for more items to be used to further repair the gear. 120k ,thats like 25-30% of the cost of a tokunbo gear 2 Likes |

ksmart027: Bro. Corrolla is very sturdy, rugged, can withstand extreme conditions. 2020 , before end Sars, the 3mb was under repairs, only one lane was shared. I was coming from v.i going to mainland. We spent 3 hrs 20mins before we got to shoprite. Didn't switch off for one minute. Rider was even tired. He was frustrated. A lot cars were overheating that night. I didn't spot one Corrolla that broke down. Toyota is a damn good car. The challenge is forex and the ailing economy. If a typical worker earns 1m / month. He/she should be able to buy a good car. 1 Like |

northbird:I understand you point bro, but I am not arguing about the sturdiness of Corolla, I was just pointing out the water part. Any car with a good cooling system can idle for a whole day without overheating. I have driven pass a water that cover my hood at aba,many buses and trucks got spoilt in the water but i passed. The only thing is that the next day i changed my alternator bearing due to the water was very muddy. 2 Likes |
