Hello oga Gazzuz, happy new year!!! i entered a pot hole while driving , some kinda box droped out of the left side of my front bumper, i googled and found out it could be 'air intake resonator' i am presently in my town for new year celebration, can i use it till i am back in lagos to get a proper fix? What are the possible side effects, or what are the things i should watch out for? |

Hello House, just a quick one. I want to purchase a Hyundai Car and I am told by my Car dealer that all I need is purchased receipt. That Hyundai Cars don't come with Custom papers since there have assembly centres here in Nigeria. Is this true? I would appreciate your responses. Thanks |

Thank you very much it was very helpful thread |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 3:27pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
Noblepreneur: not every hyundai and kia. It's a thin line between a self imported kia/hyundai and one Bought from the dealership here in naija |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 3:31pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
Cheatnotagain: Unless you live in ikorodu I'm wondering how that happened so quick. Push Down the car severally, does it bounce? It's almost impossible to explain this. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 3:32pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
jossytech: Pretty straightforward, replace the EGR system |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Noblepreneur: 4:42pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
GAZZUZZ:Thanks for your kind response. The Hyundai was given to some Government workers who paid from their allowance. They weren't given Custom papers but a receipt from Hyundai. The person wants to sell the Car to me more reason my enquiry. |

I have observed that most mechanics will attempt to repair your car if you go to them with any complain no matter what it is. Try and observe what may be wrong yourself. Google the likely problem and solution and pronto you are good to go. COUNT TO 7 AND WIN There is a unique formula for solving all your problems. That formula is to “count to 7 and win”.

Noblepreneur: Fire on, it's a pure deal |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Noblepreneur: 7:40pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
GAZZUZZ:Okay. Thanks. But won't I have issues with FRSC and Customs? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:44pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
Noblepreneur: I currently own 4 cars Bought brand new, the customs and I know there's nothing to ask, they dont bother stopping me when I am driving any of those cars. It's a silent code kind of thing, but if they do, show them that paper that reads "to whom it may concern, custom duty for bla bla bla has been paid) that will be all. The police will not ask for custom duty, it is beyond their jurisdiction. 3 Likes |

GAZZUZZ: Better still ask for the receipt issued when the car was bought brand new in Nigeria. You have nothing to fear since your car isn't tokunbo. |

Hello Gauzz and Good morning Please i have an issue with my tyres My front tyres ive been using for ages and no issue at all but my rear tyres is starting to become a headache. I changed both 4 months ago cuz it was making my vehicle wobble. After changing it functioned smoothly for a while smooth driving the shaking stopped. Sometime around December the wobble came back. And i was just wondering if the tyres i bought were expired but my tyre is DOT3516 and 4215. The 3516 has a weird crack now, this same crack appeared on the previous tyres although i saved one of the previous tyres as spare. Please i wanna ask is it wheel balancing it needs cuz the tyres were fine but after sometime the problem resumed here are the pictures. The previous tyre is the one i use as spare. Has a similar crack. Please help and advice. I also need tyres 1 Share

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:10am On Jan 05, 2019 |
gonkin: looks like you killed both sets of tyres with too much air pressure. As long as the tyres are not 8:09:33 am tyres, you should never exceed 35psi. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by gonkin(m): 8:13am On Jan 05, 2019 |
GAZZUZZ: Are u serious And the vulcanizer pumps at 45. So its not wheel balancing Cuz i haven't pumped the front in months 2 months but the rear drops down after some time to about 29. Whats 8:09:33. I have my own guage both digital and analog. I thought 35 would damage it. So whats the next action to take. The do i drop them all down to 35/36. Its also a heavy vehicle. |
