Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 10:53am On Feb 09, 2019 |
salam12: Good car. The V6 is practically bulletproof. the 4 cylinder is also good, but i would be wary of the CVT transmission in it. |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by FrankFrenzy(m): 11:22am On Feb 09, 2019 |

I need your opinion. Which would you recommend, a Nigerian used 2006 highlander or a foreign used corolla 2009. |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 12:43pm On Feb 09, 2019 |
jessyz: Foreign used Corolla of course. ![]() Most Nigerian used cars are evil. They have been badly abused which may ruin the new owner financially if care is not taken. ![]() Nigerians sell their problems, not their cars 5 Likes |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 12:48pm On Feb 09, 2019 |

MotorGuru:My Honda accord 03,which I just bought from someone recently is a fuel guzzler. From my rough calculations I got 5km to the litre. Scanned the car and found o2 sensors bank1 and bank2 malfunction. When I asked a mechanic he said it does not affect Honda, it's more a problem in Toyota's. So they cleaned my nozzles, injector and air intake. The problem seems to just get worse. 55lts of fuel is almost half gone and I did just 88miles. Help. |

salam12: Ensure you use the right CVT fluids and you should be fine. |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 8:23am On Feb 11, 2019 |
joycluv: Check ATF fluid condition. Scan vehicle. You may already have a faulty gear. Prepare for a replacement |

Hello Motorguru welldone, i have been wondering why Toyota Camry 2010 is much more better than 2009, is it that obvious ? |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by Waybedot: 9:51pm On Feb 11, 2019 |
dru23: Ok thanks sir. |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by Ephort: 4:44am On Feb 12, 2019 |
Motorguru, you are doing a great job here. well-done. More fire to ur burner. Pls, I'm aboit to own my first car woth a budget of 700k to 800k. Someone offered Honda EOD to me @800k, but I've heard negative stories about Honda ball joint pull. Looking @ my budget, which cars would u recommend that have minimal issues. Is the EOD 005/004 okay? Thanks bro. |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 8:02am On Feb 12, 2019 |
Ephort: That amount can actually get you a clean used accord. But please ensure you get the car inspected very very well. Nigerian used cars (most of them) are evil. Personally i would have advises u save up some more up to (1.3 million) and get the toks or a very clean used Corrola 1 Like |

Dear MotorGuru, God bless for your good work.

habeeb246:motorguru ? Got a cheap 2009 but the mech insists 2010 is far better |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 2:15pm On Feb 12, 2019 |
habeeb246: Haa it is far better sir. Better, reliable and more powerful engine (2.5l vs 2.4 l) The 4 cyl engine is cheaper as a result. better and more reliable gearbox for the 4 cyl and v6 better looks Better sound insulation. Better resale value. |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 2:18pm On Feb 12, 2019 |
tjfasasi: for code 1, there are 2 possibliltes: a. The catalyst is getting bad b. You have a leak in your exhaust system for code 2, your thermostat has been removed. it seems you suffered form overheating before ? Reinstall your thermostat. 1 Like 1 Share |
