I disagree with some of the earlier post.
Depending on some manufacturers some power steering use transmission fluids but no transmission use power steering fluid.

Using the word hydraulic fluid to mean they are interchangeable is not right because each fluid has its own properties.

There is also brake fluid and transfer case fluid also used in cars

P107B – Tacoma/Highlander 2017 – 2022 – Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor (Low)/ Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor ‘B’ Circuit/Stuck Range Performance


This codes comes for these 2 brands and on diagnostic tools it might show different narration.

Had a Tacoma with high MPG. Scanning shows P107B, which is fuel related issues. After series of test driving I told the customer to opt for full Tune up Service @122k miles. Which includes replacing all these parts;

Spark plugs
Servicing the Noozle
Air Filter
Replacing the Fuel Rail Pressure sensor
Replacing the Fuel Pump and Filter
Draining the Engine oil and filter
Brake Pads
After Tuneup the code was reset and also driven to see if it will come back up, but for close to 45minutes of driving within the possible scenarios it was confirmed to be ok and the MPG is back to normal.

According to Toyota forum, replacing the fuel pump was the right thing to do.

I have never imagined I will see an engine with 4 different spark plug like the one you took out from that Toyota.

Tell the customer never to go back to his old mechanic.

U dont need any technician for such bullshit.
Take the car to alignment shop,let them go under,loose the bolts on the pan,use petrol to wash out the residue,buy the gasket for the pan and hifh temp gum,gum it back,loose the drain bolt too,check if its threading is still intact
Everything ahpuldnt take less than 2k. But u go buy 5l gear oil.

Gear oil in transmission!

That is a really bad idea.

I suggest you go to your car make forum for knowledge.

Find solution in the right places, some posts here are from hearsays, from s who may not even own cars.

Gear oil mainly goes into rear ends/ differential.

Nigerian car owners need to educate themselves about modern cars

This is a snap of a moment in time, the man may not even be aware of where his hand is going.

It is not everyone that is involved in the babyish tapping of current that is happening all around

Every man is aware of where their hand is when standing next to a woman

Rexymania:
That Ojukwu's wife is too loose
No wonder Willie Obiano's wife called her "Ashawo"

Stop that rubbish, Bianca is a good woman by all means She should have remarried, I have not even seen her go on dates to show she does have a social life.

Please, as a woman, she is reputable

Tjra:

Bro, e be like say the waist dey waste ooo

She suppose don remarry because the engine needs oiling.

Another man should carry on the legacy of Ojukwu.

FFK wife say ma tiger generator FFK dey use run the whole house right now.

If you no get a Mikano, I beg no near Bianca, she be proper woman.

Next time Umahi try that rubbish, na for CNN you go hear the slap

I hope the ban includes petrol

Kaymaxi2222:
what exactly is the issue with the car Honda civic is one of the best car out there right now ......what I am suspecting is that your Kazeem is intentionally using you to make money Honda civic is not that difficult to fix even if you want to overhaul majority of the system of that car it still won't cost you much.......I am really interested in the issue you are having with the car

If you had asked questions when you bought it , there would have been free help in getting it fixed properly.

But since your mechanic was smart enough to get you deep in this rabbit hole of trial and error, it will be more difficu;t to start trying to fix when you have already exhausted so much money

scan first.

Turn the crank shaft pulley by hand

I guessed all your oil leaked out because they did not tighten the drain plug or filter

Normally it would have been covered under manufacturers warranty.

Tell your mech to send you a pic of the crack.

CI don't want to believe a 3 year old turbo will crack unless it was a mechanical damage from somewhere else.

What code is the car setting?

A week ago,my balance was 850k,now today my balance is 300k.i feel poor. Well to orrow ,I've already bought goat and 2 tequila with 1 bag of loud. Let's end it all at the lounge. My budget tmrw won't 3xceed 50k. Both on booze,peppersoup,asun shawama,if it's loud. I get am 1 bag.
Drink and sleep.
Smoke and die
I ready.

With N300k that goat might outlive you, it just need to eat leaves for a week

OP is very right to a sizeable degree, but it is all due to most of their best minds leaving the country and sometimes returning to Lagos.

Most of the small towns do not actually welcome their returnees . An Americana in the middle of the poor, and since your solution to their problem is not welcome they suffer till they lose it all..

Ant your a village should give land away for free to those who will come in to develop and build / invest in their community, but they rather want to sell for millions to Fulani heard men who will end up killing and taking all their lands.

This is why the cities are herring congested for safety reasons.

Your leader needs to have a level of integrity, musa Yar Adua and Good luck Jonathan were the last ones we had. Buhari started this APCalypse.. Nigerians know how to turn Nigeria around, but APC went after state capture selling the hopes of future generations to build an army of parasitic political class

No, you might have to look at VW and Audi

Your code suggests timing chain stretch

If a manufacturer designs an engine and spend 2 years test in all weather and terrain.

Then they write use 5W20 oil on it.

A Nigerian now bought the car 15years later and after paying N30m for the car should listen to someone who might not even own a Corolla claim that the N5k Mobile 2000 is a good oil for the car.

The tolerance for bearings is a lot tighter now so they designed oils that will flow better at operating temperature.

There is a reason you will not put gear oil in your engine.

20W is the oil viscosity/weight at room temp.,and 50 is at operating temperature in your engine when it is hot(190F)

5W20 to 20W50 When the oil is acting as 50 weight when engine is hot, you cant see it

CodeJigon:
I drive a 2008 Lexus rx350 with a 2gr engine
When engine is cold everything works fine but when hot 🔥 it idles a little bit above 1000 rpm and when I apply break it's as if someone pushed the car from behind

NB: it continues like this even when cold only until a take off the battery terminal for some minutes it resets everything but when I drive and it hit again it starts again

Can I get any assistance
Thanks in advance

Check engine light is on, scan the car and post the code on youtube.

It looks like your throttle body is dirty clean it, and do not adjust anything

This is an interesting and expensive experiment in the wrong part of the world.
I can help you make it happen only if you are willing to come up with about N10m more to guarantee the job.

My first question is why did you buy the GLK?
Are you sure you need a V* in this economy.

My solution will be for you to Get A ML%%) of your choice for about $10k ship it to Nigeria and you end up with 2 benz for the price of 30th compared to a big headache,N20+m and a dead GLK/

Your choice sir.

I posted the above reply before reading other comment.

The GLK was not built to handle such engine.

Even if you can squeeze it into the bay you still have to deal with the drive line(shaft transmission).

Get a JEEP SRT8 or a Trackhawk.Those are the cheapest V8 SUV

Bullfallo:


Since oil price keeps going higher and higher I’’m now stretching mine to five months for each oil change. I’m using mobil 2000.

I believe it is OK since you don't drive 3000miles in 5 months.

The problem is the grade of oil you are using is for cars made in 80's to early 90s., and the NNPC fuel is not made for any engine produced in this world.

Good luck to all

How hot is overheating, is it going past the middle point
Spray some soap on your radiator and rinse with water hose

Right now we see 31.7 mpg.

When it gets to Nigeria let us see if it makes 20mpg on nnpc fuel

which means top off oil and replace every 6 months when using a good oil, or 3 months when using a cheap oil.

Just read now that v6 takes 6.3 liters of oil

You bought the car from US so you don't know the conditions of the engine nor the oil level.

You said you got the oil in apapa when it came out of the port (I believe).

Was the engine oil service done by replacing oil (how many gals of coastal used?) or someone topped it off.

Coastal is the cheapest oil you can get super tech is better.

If you said it is drying off at 3000 miles,it takes longer than 3 months to do 3000 miles in Nigeria so how many months since last oil change.

Since you did not put 5 qt of original oil in yourself, Get 5qt fru Dru23 an oil filter. And watch the oil change your self.

Kia engine is flaky don't t mess with oil change on Kia/Hyundai you will need engine pretty soon

This is the relevant post

I have a Prado land cruiser Jeep 2014 for sale at just #41m and am wondering if it's not too cheap.

It is a 2014 Prado

Is it sold or you are trying to take style list it in car talk section instead of the auto section.

If things don't rough for you to sell your car sell am for less so you can take care of the wahala you enter anyway we go report the post and continue with the conversation

MrCork:


Brother is N25k not better than being unemploy sir??

Why are you not looking for a houseboy?

The idea is that house girl is reminder of colonial era with cooks drivers gardener gateman etc.

There is washing machine dishwasher lawnmower dryer, vacuum cleaner for all.
The rest is laziness or not teach your kids how to be responsible.

Using young girls to do all these always ends up in abuse

Soludo is so drunk in power now, he goes around personally trying to fix thing he sounds like a demi god.

Of all the things wrong in the market place he went to the man preaching, accused him of noise pollution, according to a law he cannot recite.
What decibel is noise limit in the public space compared to the siren of his convoy.

If Soludo was doing a walk through the market, he should have the local govt chairman, counselor and whoever is in charge of the market.
He asks questions on everything that looks wrong, what people want changed in the market and whose job it is to get it right like parking sanitation, and traffic.
He demands a working plan in 90 days and another walk through the market to make sure plan has started and to be completed as scheduled

That is how to make those affected to be able to hold those responsible able

The ugly ones and the ones who worked their butt off to get there are crediting the system.

How will things change?

When Dino was haunting Remi, no one even saw it as haunting.

Till he went to their hood, his ass was jumped politically.

It seems like the Senate is now the house of molesters.

Their leader has an history, and they all stand up to cheer, whose daughter is next?

MrCork:

For N25k a month you want a young girl that will work her butt off day and night, abused by the household as needed.

Minimum wage is N70k, how is your proposal legal?
