Those days, diesel vehicles were heavy noise makers but that now that is reducing. Marveled at the BMW X3 I saw recently a bit noisy but much better. than before. |

Not every filling station sells diesel in Nigeria. If you have a diesel vehicle, that may be a problem. For those saying diesel vehicles are noise makers or heavy emitters, that is absolutely false, diesel vehicles have cleaner emissions and are more efficient all round. |

Depends on the country one resides. Diesel engine are more expensive to buy but cheaper to maintain asper feul comsumption. Though the smoke more than petrol cars one gets to pay less environmental tax on such cars unlike for petrol cars. |

GAZZUZZ: Vehicles are now compactalized, with a good scanner, your vehicle manual and access to YouTube, you barely need a mechanic these days as vehicles have gone computer. The truth is, I now only need a mechanic when I need body work or painting done on my car. With my scanner, I can locate the bad component and YouTube have countless videos on how to change them and if it a scanner code can result from the malfunction of more than one component, with my meter and a few more YouTube search, you can acertain the normal readings or behave of the component eliminate the one that doesn't conform. 1 Like |

If good diesel mechanics are guaranteed in this country, I think Nigerians should be encourage to start using diesel engine cars or automobile. Afterall, most heavy duty trucks on our ways are diesel engine. |

nedu2000:A friend that works with Mercedes & later volkswagen in Germany once told me dat they never ship pms cars to Nigeria, but they use diesel powered cars.. reason being dat the pms powered cars are more likely to get bad therefore the demand for cars z always on.. If u notice Julius Berger official cars, 99% of them are diesel powered.. why is that? |

9icetoo: U know Diesel engines no doubt about that. Not all of us do. I tried diesel car and sold it within 60 days. The performance is unique no doubt but so are the needs. It serves best those who know it. That's why we shy away from it. |
