Topkush:
Boss, please advise. I'm torn between Honda Civic 06, corolla LE 06, Camry 08/09. I budget up to 3M but don't know anything about cars.

With 4m you can get this 2013 Camry

GAZZUZZ:


You be winch simple.

Please what could make water dripping inside the front passenger seat when AC is on?

It started 3 days ago when it rained and I put on AC and heater while driving.


jceesquare

Check your AC discharge hose. You can check it by looking underneath the vehicle to see if you have sufficient water droplets from the hose as it used to. If not then it broken.

Also check your temperature switch mechanism (the one that switches between hot and cold temp) if it's functioning well. Turn the temp all the way to cold and see if it blows cold as before. If not, ask your AC guy to inspect

Robyn2:
Good day Honda lovers😁. Pls I notice whenever I want to shift my gear to drive, I always hear on sound like “cra” and I will feel the shaking from the engine. I do feel it whenever the gear is changing also. Pls what could have happen? I check my transmission oil and is gaged. Thanks in advance

Inspect gear and engine mount. If bad, replace.
Inspect inner CV axle. If it has excessive play, replace.

kingreign:


3m and the tool below

Automatic AK would have been better.

Kingstel:
I'm told to get a double cell radiator. Another mechanic told me to change the gaskets.

The choice is yours to make sir.

My location is Ibadan (Ring Road), very close to Challenge... Who come abuse my car??
Although i bought the car second hand It was fine when i bought it but start acting after 3months.

Unfortunately I can't recommend any.

Originakalokalo:


It was once -17.

Cleaned the throttle body and did idle relearn procedure.

Now at -7.

That's still high.
Check your O² sensor and compare readings with manufactures spec.

Kingstel:
Thanks,
To see a good mechanic with a live scan in Abuja is now the issue 🤔

Your regular Bluetooth scanner should run a basic live scan including checking your coolant temperature.

slowice:
Good evening sir... Why does my brakes gnarl loudly when I step on it while moving slowly like in traffic

Check your brake pads and disc.

vivalavida:

No. I was not experiencing any battery drain prior to my serpentine belt cutting nor any startability issue.

What brand of battery did you buy and how much If new?
Also what's the manufactured date?
Most Chinese battery don't last that long if that's what you have. A simple thing as running into a nasty pothole is enough to snap 1 cell off those batteries.

vivalavida:
Good morning. I drive a 2008 acura tsx.
On Feb 24th precisely, my serpentine belt cut. I called my mechanic and he sent his boy. He claimed he was too busy to come. Getting the right belt was quite difficult for the boy since the old one really shredded. First one he got was too small to fix. Second one was too big. Finally got one that sized it and the car started. But ever since then sometimes my car battery fails to start my car till I borrow someone's battery. It has happened like four times since then. I want to rule out alternator cause I believe once u start a car and remove the battery head, if the alternator is bad, the car will go off. Mine does not go off till i put my battery back. And whenever i jump-start using someone else battery, i can use it up to two weeks of daily driving before the next incident.
What prompted me to write this was that stuff embarrassed me yesterday. I escorted my friend to his introduction. I was parked somewhere waiting for him to drive up and meet me and we start going. When he came, my car refused to start. Car I drove out from the house. My battery is 75amps. He brought out his own battery which was 65amps and it couldn't start my car. I had to beg a sienna transport driver and immediately I put his battery my car started immediately and I paid 2k. We got to the venue, I switched off the car and switched it on, e no gree start again. We went if for what we came. The introduction was a long one. We came out 3 hours later and the car started one hand. I got home, parked it and later started it and it started immediately too. So what could be wrong? Is my battery bad? 7th of may will make it one year i bought the battery. I have started seeing thread in the new belt that was fixed on Feb 24th. It was since this belt was fixed I started experiencing this.
I have no OBD codes. I scan my car frequently with my scanner. If my car is on and I connect my scanner, the battery voltage hovers around 13.5 to 14 volts.

Right now I am contemplating should I buy a new battery? But I feel one year is too small for my battery to have issues. Should I change that serpentine belt?
Or it the fault from my battery connector cable?
I need professional advise.

To add to what kingreing typed, hookup your multimeter to the battery terminals then ask someone to start the car for you.
If the volt drops below 10 - 9 volts when the engine is cranking, one of the cells in the battery is likely bad.

Kingstel:
Urgent help please...

Overheating sign appears on the dashboard after driving for about 10 mins yesterday for Honda City.

It happened again today and the mechanic removed the engine thermostat. The sign appeared again just as I was about to park the car in the compound.

The radiator and fan working well with water and coolant intact.

You need to run further diagnosis to know why it's happening.
Use a live scan to know what temperature the car gets to when the light comes up.
It could be anything from a bad water pump, radiator cap, bad radiator, or bad gasket (since you said your fan and coolant level is intact)

AutosAbuja:

Na money issue bro
I haven't swapped the coils. My professional scanner stopped working a while back, so I am using free scanning ap
ps. Don't know if to trust them completely.
Thank you so much

Your regular Bluetooth scanner is enough.
What you should 1st do is swap the bad coil to a known good coil from cylinder 1 and 4 to eliminate if it's a coil issue. Also do same for the plugs too.
It won't cost you anything as you're not buying any part.

AutosAbuja:

Oh thanks.
It's just my car has vibrating than usual and now jerking. Sometimes the check engine light starts flashing.
Codes show cylinder 2 and 3 misfire, then added 4,but mostly 2 and 3. Already changed a coil.
Many times the misfire follows those two coils in cylinders 2 and 3
Also the sensor does not work anyway

Did you try swapping those faulty coils with a known working one? If the misfire still remains after swapping, then you'll have to do the following:
1. Inspect spark plugs and replace bad ones.
2. Check the nozzles to know if they're blocked. Replace or clean as the case my be.
3. Check fuel pressure to see if it's up to manufactures spec. Replace complete pump assembly if pressure is low, clean fuel lines and replace external filter if you have one.
4. Replace O² sensor as it is known to trick the ECU into leaning or enriching the fuel mixture. A live scan should guide you better.
5. If after doing these and the misfire remains, run a wet and dry compression test on each cylinder to know if valves are bad.
All the best.

AutosAbuja:

Abeg if the air fuel sensor upstream is not tightly screwed in place, can it cause air to enter the engine
It's so loose at the moment


I think the threading on the exhaust is bad

No it shouldn't unless you have bad exhaust valves.
It would make louder noise though, but not suck in air into the engine.

Auskyd:
Abeg for the last time, mechanic for Nissan Altima 2009/2010 dey? Parts dey? Oga Kingreign nurey, advise me one last time 😭😭.

Either this Nissan or Accord 2008, or Civic, one must enter my hand on Tuesday. Epp me plis

You even get other options and you still want to go for that Altima with it's wacky CVT transmission?
Mechanic dey, and parts plenty especially gears.

It all started yesterday.

Scan the car, then post codes for remote assistance

bastien:
Good morning sir, my es350 brake is mostly flat while driving, if I pressed twice it will be strong but if I don’t on high speed it won’t hold brake quickly, what’s wrong and what’s the solution best , thank you sir

The brake master should be inspected your technician.

peterayo33:
My vehicle is a Toyota Corolla 2005.

Problems:
1. It was unable to climb hills and runs very heavily(drags).
2. Guzzles fuel.
3. Jerks when accelerating
4. Consume engine oil (I top the engine oil every 3 days with 1litre)
5. Engine is always hot.
6. Coils fail to spark (Sometimes more than one Coil fails to spark)
7. Kills plugs anyhow

NOW:
1. I have changed the gear oil.
2. Done servicing as directed by the mechanics.
3. Changed plugs (Many times), Nozzles, fuel pump/Filter, changed plugs coils, Coal Start (3times), Throttle mouth, and Throttle Pedal sensor.

OBSERVATIONS
*The vehicle works well as soon as mechanics are done fixing it, but next same very issues reoccur after a week or so and keep getting worse.
* I have scanned the car countless times.

1. Code - P0504
Description - Break Switch "A"/"B" Correlation

2. Codes - P2111
Description - Throttle Actuator Control System Stuck Open

3. Codes - P2716
Description - Pressure Control Solenoid D Electrical

I was told it's the Brainbox. I went to change the brainbox but the issue persisted.

I went to one mechanic that was introduced to me and he said I'll need to replace the engine of the car...

A strong man is getting tired

Please someone should help.

You do not need remote assistance.
The car has been abused a lot.
Where is your location so we can recommend workshops to you

Musty4ahmed1:
Thank you. The culprit is bad ignition coil, I successfully replaced the cable as advised by my mechanic and car is now working fine. Thank you.

Good to know you got the problem fixed.
It would be nice if everyone comes back to give update on the repair process and fix for their car problems.
It would help the community and future readers learn one or two things as what we do here is remote diagnosis to guide you or your mechanic on what to look out for which cannot be 100 percent perfect diagnosis.

My people, is it advisable to ring a Honda Accord 2000 engine?

You can rebuild any engine with the right tools, parts, and technical know how.

davidbright:
Hello House, I drive a Honda Accord 2007 model with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine...

But recently I have not been enjoying a smooth drive as the gear all of a sudden while in motion stop changing gear until I stop and restart the car

Once I restart the car the whole system reset to normal and it picks and works normal... Everytime the car's gear stop changing I will stop and restart or put it on neutral, off engine and start again

The car can work normally for a month and all of a sudden it will start malfunctioning again for months

My mechanic introduced me to a rewire who changed the turtle mouth, changed the brain box and did other things but still the same issue...

What can you advise... This can be very frustrating

Please help

Scan transmission and post codes

Honda Accord vibrations

Let me try to explain this issue.

Car drives well.

However, when I apply the break and the gear on DRIVE, rpm goes to 500 while the bonnet vibrates....that is engine vibrations.

If I turtle just a bit let's say rpm increases to 700 vibrations stop and further drive is excellent.

Car idle smoothly in PARK around 700-800 rpm.

Please note that all engine mount are in top shape.

Car is Honda Accord 2007.

My question.

1. Why this vibrations?

2. Rpm is not low on idle ( car in Park)
If rpm is low, can it be adjusted in Honda Accord 2007?

It is a puzzle that has remained unsolved.

Kindly help me.
Codes

P0141

P02185.

I don't think they have anything to do with the vibrations.

P0141 is for downstream oxygen sensor. It's just for Cat monitoring and emissions.

P02185 is for the second ECT sensor at the radiator.

That RPM at 500 when gear is engaged is pretty on the low side and enough to cause the vibration.
Thoroughly clean the throttle body and do an idle relearn to see if it helps.

What could be the cause of a cranking noise on the right hand side of my e320, last week I took the car to mechanic and he told me is brake pad, change the brake pad, yet the noise pessist. Experience nairalander what could be the cause and solution please.

It would be difficult to give diagnose remotely.
Kindly call 07089030689 if in Lagos for further diagnosis

chccho:


Yeah the fx 35 is my first option. I once drove one and I must confess it's performance was fantastic. It drove like a roadster - suv.
Its powerful, balanced, great handling, quick and the sound is so thrilling.
Unfortunately, it doesn't come with 4 x 4 but AWD instead as compared with the Pilot which is fully 4 x 4, comes with 3rd row seats, more Hp and is roomier.
Also considering this will be an everyday car I'm carefully considering, durability, Fuel Mpg (for Lagos) and overall maintenance.

I noticed the FX also has issues with melting dashboard does anyone have a solution to this??

Still watching!!

Get what you love and maintain it well so you don't get stuck with what you don't like.
Both vehicles are not in same class, so it would be wrong to compare both.

Bigsteveg:


The car is located at Arepo, close to beeger. initially the car shows check engine light. But according to my brother who gave the car to me.m the car has no issues.

When I collected the car last week, its slow to start but will still start. Now it's not starting but will dashboard lights

Kindly scan the car.
You'll need to check if the fuel pump still works.
You can also call 07089030689 for further assistance.

Good day, I had fault code P0343 (Camshaft position sensor ‘A’ circuit of higher input (Bank 1 or single sensor) for 2008 lexus rx350. I did the scan using xtool scanner cause car wouldn’t start at first ignition.

I discovered that when the Camshaft position sensor on Bank 1 is replaced, the car never starts But if status quo is maintained it will crank a few times then start.

Any clue as to what may be responsible for this. Thanks

After replacing the sensor, did you rescan to know if the code is still there?
