Folks,

I have been outta town for over 4 months now. My car has been parked for those months, though I removed the battery.

Please is there anything I need to do before starting the car again?

Just afraid if i turn the ignition something might go wrong having being parked for such number of months.

I will appreciate your nuggets on this.

Thanks all in advance.

Just Change The Engine Oil Before Trying To Start It, And If The Battery Is Donw Charge It That Is All

Thanks so much

check coolant, check brake oil, check engine oil, check harness, pray that rodents have not feasted on your wiring, start car drive off.........












Then start listing the issues u noticed here

engine oil drains better when hot.

Ha!
Did you say 4 months
You better call TB Joshua, Adeboye, Oyedepo and the rest to rain prayers on it before entering the car.
It's possible that Awon aye has been doing meeting on it.

A thread so timely in nature. Mine is 2 months and counting.

that is the best so that the Viscosity will come out

check the radiator water, change the engine oil and also if the battery is weak charge it, with this you can drive your car and we that have not buy car, may God Almighty give us the strength to do so. amin

change oil, check battery, if you've done that, start the car and zoom off

please share with us, your Gembu experience. I also served in Taraba but didn't have the pleasure of visiting that cold region. Most especially, how bad is the road leading to Gembu.

Taraba corper how far?

Just do the normal checking, start your it's good to run but, it you which to change the oil you have to start the engine drive it around for few minutes so all the oil can drain on when you want to do so. Good luck.

No offense meant O.p but I think u should have simply asked for advice from a professional Nt an online forum......

cool

depends on d state it was before u parked it and the car model cos older models might be affected.
let it steam for awhile, chk for rodents cos they might hv tampered with the car wirings nd stuff then change d oil too cos its bn sitting for too long

Engine oil level, check radiator water and finally your battery charged that's all.

I parked mine for 2 months, came back and the battery was DEAD.
Any explanation for this.
