Please any hybrid use in the house mbok?

I need some one to debunk dru24 of his doubt about it in Nigerian roads. If Uber guys they use hybrid in US without no issues like that why can’t we.

Fuel is becoming expensive cos am very sure sey DEMDEM fit still increase price soon, wen dem see sey we Nigerian are getting comfortable with the current price boom e don skyrocket.

I see the hybrid everywhere in lagos now.

That is throttle body position sensor gone bad and the signs you are getting is quite right like Common signs include lacking power when accelerating, rough or slow idle, stalling, inability to shift up, just get a mech first to get a carb cleaner to clean the Throttle body and put it back and test drive, or just get another one.


But there is this VTC that actually throws up this code once in a while. Just try d first 1 out and get back to me

I wonder why people belittle or condemn what they don't know. Naija no good na bad mechanic dey, if you get bad mechanic na your personality attract bad ones. Just simple physics.

There is this simple rule "Never force people not meant to be in your life in" negativity kills most of you. Possible lies in impossible so why condemn naija mechanic all to pass info here. Mechanic no good, car users na error too.

See anybody wey wan import mech come from yankee pls go ahead and stop shaming the good ones here

Pass your info and move along, do you want me to go into details of what we Auto Tech face daily from car users, from over sabi to am enlightened.

Naso one good idiot believes watching how to fix airbag on YouTube makes him a guru till the spring fails and busted his nose or the slowpoke that thinks wiring was a piece of cake till he fumble and burn his ECU or the nigga that fixes his oil change and fail to place the rubber seal of the oil filter and thought he has done a perfect job till he was about to leave his compound and people called his attention to oil leaking underneath his car.

Respect all profession no matter what. Am not perfect am only trying to be the best. I make mistakes but learn and correct it.

To start off with I was asked about my take on hybrid.. And I gave my honest opinion on it based on the maintenance culture in Nigeria.. And I stated that mechanics in the USA avoids fixing them .. Hybrid requires a specialist, and to get the best result is to to the dealership especially if the car is still under warranty... even the mechanics at the dealership themselves have no clue on what they are doing at times ..

Hybrid is quite complex and if you are not careful you can get electrocuted ......... That been said let's discuss the Nigeria factor ........

I dont care what anyone says , nigerian mechanics are not up to the task when it comes to hybrid, you will require certain skill sets and proper tools to diagnose when this things have problems. Getting the right part is another also issue , and most parts in the market are used parts......

You might think your hybrid is fine now no issues etc .. The day it breaks down and you have shell out money to fix , it equal those times that you were enjoying, you now end up paying more in the long run to fix the problem... personally I will not advice anyone to get one based on the reasons given .. Technical skills of Nigerian mechanics is not up there yet ,it is a matter of try and error ....


PS.... And God help you hybrid owners that are using water instead of coolant .. I was told that hybrid cars uses a special coolant ..... Most naija car owners themselves don't read their owners manual... most don't know what they are getting themselves.. You can't be doing patch patch work with hybrid ......Hybrids will humble you ,if you don't take time

Morning guys! Who's up for a CHALLENGE? This time, no one is giving you any thing or any free money but we get to motivate ourselves and get paid at the end of the year. It's quite simple.

The challenge is themed "3K to 1M". You get to SAVE 3K everyday of the year and by December 20, you should have saved free 1M to flex the holidays or pay part payment for a piece of land or do something you really need cash for. THAT'S APART FROM YOUR NORMAL OR REGULAR SAVINGS.

The platform I chose is PIGGYVEST because it's a safe and secure platform, and when push comes to shove, you can always withdraw your money and get paid instantly. I had this idea last year and started but didn't go through with it. This is the beginning of a new year and this is one of my CHALLENGES.

If you are not registered on Piggyvest, sign up with the link below. After signing up or if you are already signed up, search for "3K to 1M". That's the name of the challenge.

PROBABLY at the end of each month we could post dashboards to motivate others since it's real money and not phantom money you might not be able to account for.

The truth is, this is probably going to be a rough and tough journey, but together we can do this.

PS: You get to have free "useable" 1K in your dashboard when you sign up with this link. Let's do this guys!

I've got a thought for you guys. Everyone put an amount each month maybe 1k. Driver who makes the most after expenses takes the pot reach month. You'll be surprised what you can accomplish when motivated.

I'll tell you the same thing Izzou told me, you'll figure it out yourself. It's pretty straightforward

The only reason you haven't is because you still have good ratings. When your ratings drop and you're on the verge of being blocked , you'll figure it out.
