I guess this is legalwealth. Back to the topic. Nigerians are very wicked. A friend bought a supposed 2012 GLK manufactured in december 2011. I read the 10th alphabet on the VIN. It was letter A. I knew it was a 2010. Date of manufacture on the door jamb sticker was 12/11. Very neatly done. Checked online pic and saw the car was produced in 2009 for year 2010. Original door jamb sticker had 12/09.

This should be my first educational 2020 post on Nairaland, hope it helps someone in the near future.


Sharp Toks 2007 Toyota Rav4 driven to workshop on a Monday morning, old client That has just added to his growing fleet.

Major issues.
1. warning lights, anti skid, abs tpms.

2. Transmission flare between gear 2-3 .

3. Loud exhaust system

4. Noises from steering wheel when in use.


Diagnosis.

Went for a short test drive to asertain problems, 2, 3, and 4.

All issues were confirmed.

Vehicle scanned and there are permanent communication issues between engine ECU and ABS module.

Ran a quick check on the vin and noticed car was bought as a non runner.

Inspected engine bay for Hankey Pankey, no abuse found.

Client explains that the engine ecu has been replaced recently for certain reasons. (Original engine Ecu Available in vehicle)

Client takes his leave and I'm all alone with the car.

Thank you very much for this insight. I went to that Ladipo to get an engine for my Corolla, and I was sold a dead engine. My engine was even better than what I bought. Had to finally sell the car for peanut.

Now I have a highlander that I've been advised to change the ECU, but I fear to. The transmisson jerks when changing from 2 to 3, bit the rest is smooth. 1 to 2, and then 3 and above are smooth. 2 to 3 makes a 'kpa' sound, accompanied with a jerk.

In fact, I want to sell the ride because I don't want to get a bad ECU that would come with other issues.

Advise me, @ Mr Poster pls.

Please, I have a Highlander with VIN JTEHF21A810015556. I have had to work on the gear box sometime last year. For more than two weeks, the selection was smooth and fine. Within the third week, I noticed that the movement is smooth from gear 1 to 2, but when going to 3, it will slow down almost to a halt and then you feel a jerk, and the subsequent selections will be smooth you won't even know when.

I have approached gear specialists here in Abuja, and they told me it is the brain box, and that nothing was wrong with my gear box. Now, I want to buy the brain box, but I'm confused. I don't want to buy gear box and other issues now come with it.

Kindly help me.
