I'm just imagining the way nairaland babes will be scared of this thread as if it's leprosy and the lot of those keyboard warriors airing their thrashed opinion so as to bash people older.



I'm patiently waiting if this thread will make three pages

EngRichie:
The obvious way to tell are few or non-existent. You can detect if a neat job wasn't done when you look at the top gasket lamination between the engine block and the top cylinder. And this is if the head gasket was changed. A car can possibly overheat without damaging anything if it is arrested on time.

Other signs are direct fan connection, cooling system leak, thermostat removal and other cooling system modifications.

The truth is, all things being intact, you can't tell a car that overheated in the past except you have a high end scan tool that can retrieve history codes (if the codes are still in the memory).

I will like to hear opinion of others on this.

Once it's fan is connected directly it has over heated in the past.

Once thermostat has been removed, it has over heated in the past

Almost any car driven in Nigeria for 5 years has over heated esp when bought as naija used

fineboynl:
How do you tell if a car has ever overheated in the past?

Kingozymandias:


Not the mods bro the problem is the business model was flawed from inception. Relying on user contents alone was eventually going lead it to death. Because that can only work in a communist country where people can't have access to create their own websites ... Why do you think lindaikeji started creating her own content from the beginning? She foresaw this model ...

Either the owner employ full time content creators or watch this website die very soon already it's obvious. On each thread you see 20.or 30.comments by the same few accounts and it's always Tinubu this ipob that just tribal bashing

splashbaby:
You know what they did. The moderators deleted my initial post. I even modify in details. We have tyrants as moderators. Moderators like Pavore9 has totally abandoned the platform. The was a man creating powerful contents for the agriculture section. They only collect money from politicians and Tonto Dike to push contents to the front page...even discouraging some content creators.

Not exactly.
They advised many car owners to connect radiator directly to prevent overheating.

davillian:

Very simple
Let a mechanic do the checks....

fineboynl:
most of them don't know anything. The reason is that intelligent people don't go into the profession in this country. The dull people are the once learning mechanic work and they don't know anything. The best brain look down on the profession.
