Hi Team,

I am looking at buying Acura MDX 2004.

*** I'm concerned about the fact that it's 3.5 litre.
*** Lagos traffic is a challenge for me as I work on the Island.
*** What do we think about the cars maintenance, durability, etc.
*** The Tokunbo can also be gotten cheap and that's why it's an option.

What other option do I have?

Look forward to your counsel.

AutoElectNG:


1. Is the ECU in the vehicle the one that came with it or it is a replacement?

2. If it is a replacement, does it have the exact same part number or an upgraded part no?

3. Does this vehicle have an immobilizer?

4. If it has an immobilizer, was it programmed so as to allow a three way handshake between the ignition switch, the brainbox and the immobilizer? Or have you tried to do a bypass.

5. Can you explain the bolded?

6. Where are you located?

7. Can you scan and post codes? If you decide to , please do not use a cheap scanner. I have a personal experience fixing this issue, with a basic scan tool no codes, with a factory scan tool or professional aftermarket scan tool, there were codes that referred to a mismatch between the codes the ECU saw and the codes it expected from the key and the immobilizer unit. I am using ordinary language not the appropriate technical language.

There exists a strong possibility that immobilizer can cut injector pulses so the car never starts even though everything else is in order, except the three way handshake goes the way it was designed to go from the factory.

Subaru are very good cars . Rugged. Made in Japan. If Hyundai can survive in Nigeria, so you don't have to worry about Subaru

The gasket issue is a long time ago. affects only 1998-2002 Models.

The best thing to do is to get Subaru as a used car. They cost a lot brand new but they dont hold their resale values as like Toyota.

However, that has nothing to do with their quality. They are excellent cars.

Used to drive a Subaru GL wagon while in school more than 15yrs ago in California. Never for once failed me for almost 2yrs i had the car. The engine seat was bad (cant remember if i got it like that) which makes the exhaust pipe break like every 2-3months. I will just go re-weld and keep driving it until i got rid of the car.

Go for it

EgunMogaji:
Any car can survive anywhere as long as the maintenance is carried out. The problem with out people is that they do not apply the right tool for the job.

I'll buy a Subaru and use it in Nigeria.

They do go through head gaskets somewhat due to their H engine design but the bonus is that all their products are AWD. With adequate tires then you can safely go to most places. It's however not an SUV so ground clearance needs to be kept in mind.

Good luck.

A SMALL 4 BEDROOM ON HALF A PLOT OF LAND IN OJA , OGUN STATE .

If u are in the middle of this bridge and something goes wrong, what will u do?

Explorers:
Construction on the world's longest sea bridge connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao is almost complete.


After seven years of construction, the 34-mile-long bridge is set to open at the end of the year.

It will cut travel time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai down to 30 minutes from 3 hours.

Zhu Yongling, director of the management bureau of the bridge has confirmed that the bridge will open at the end of the year.

The bridge used 420,000 tonnes of steel which is enough to build 60 Eiffel Towers.

It bridge's total length is 55 kilometres (34 miles) making it 14 miles longer than the distance from Dover to Calais.

The bridge has cost some HK$ 112 billion (£12 billion). Video footage shows the sheer size of the completed main structure.
