LOZENGE:
Greetings Bosses in the house. I recently gave my mechanic money to buy new gear hoses for my matrix after i found out its leaking. Fee days laterone of the hose burst on my way back from a trip and all the gear oil were lost . Had to park the car and look for a mechanic it was then I noticed that one of the hose isn't meant for gear oil.
New hose was bought as well as new gear oil and the gear got back on actio. I drove down and confronted my mech. He apologized it wasn't intentional, then i told me to pary nothing happens to my gear.

Few days later the gear would take few minutes to engage in the morning and drives fine the rest of the day till d nxt morning, sometimes i will have to shift to D2 b4 it will engage.
Called my ,,m ech again to complain and he suggested we wash the bottom plate that its dirty.
We did that yesterday and it took the car much longer time to engage this morning. But it drive normal since today.

Please I need your candid advice/ suggestions.

Neither any part of the engine nor gear has been worked on since I bought the car 2019, expect the plugs

Gearbox (2010 model) #700+ thousand loading.
Fast and pray make e work well.

E no go pass this nonsense

Oil u have been using for more than 2 years already. If a thicker oil is shorting, what do u think will happen to a lighter oil?

Engine knocking 5G pro

I used my Corolla from the time I noticed it was burning oil (oil consumption) (2014) till I sold it (2021), I was topping oil 1-2 liters prior to next oil change and depending on usuage. I travelled wella, far trips.
Here in NL car talk, I asked about the problem, a lot said I should save up to buy another engine.
The engine served me wella and still silent till I sold it.

I switched from 5w30 to 20w50. Cos it is a waste of money and synthetic oil. It makes no sense cos I saw it as wasting of expensive oil. I changed it at 5000km instead of 7500km(which I believed it is for the synthetic oil).

Let's not forget that modern cars require top up after 1000km. At least I have seen this in 08 Corolla and 07 Accord.

If u can afford to be topping up the engine will serve you till e tire.

Welz:

check if it's dropping from under, if it is then you have to change to seal in-between the engine and gear

Take this advice. It is called crankshaft oil seal. Most times the oil won't drop, it will soak on the body(due to sand or mud).
It took me personally to detect mine when I was using 08' Corolla. My mechanic couldn't see it.
I advice u drive ur car into a fuel station and use their pit. Use torch light and inspect underneath ur car. Oil no dey hide.
Also, check the seal on the engine pulley.

If symptoms persists after this..... Call ladipo for engine buying



Mind u, some Toyota engine get craze for head from factory. Internal wahala....Na to top up

Originakalokalo:
I need Honda Accord air fuel ratio sensor for 2007.

Challenge:

I saw some, but when scanned, it doesn't read well.

Even when the seller tried to convince me that it is working, scanning the vehicle after installation reveals that the sensor is not good.

I need a good one please. See the attached picture for the exact sensor I am looking for.
Thank you.

PS, I am not looking for a regular oxygen sensor please.

I once changed mine the mura4ka threw up another code even after testing it with voltmeter.
I think I will follow nurey's advice.
That thing can stress one with the fuel consumption too.

You can't know who my A/F plug is. Heck, I don't even know who my A/F plug is. If you need one, just find one. I got my sensor ordered from Lagos by my kazeem friend.

Bro, can that YouTube video be applied on the upstream sensor (A/F). I have changed mine twice. Still P1172 showing up. Ike agwugom...

THE STORY OF BETTY
...
Betty is my 2005 Honda Accord 4cyl.
I got her Nigerian used last year. When I got her, she was like a malnourished and physically abused woman.
-Her engine was smoking heavily and the old user deceived me by using very thick oil in addition to that evil thing called "stop smoking".
-There were crazy electrical abuse. like the engine could start no matter where the gear stick is.
-The transmission was misbehaving mostly in cold mornings.
-Of course, the cat was way gone, but then some evil human decided to cut the wires of the 2 O2 sensors for reasons I still don't understand.
-Fuel economy was flushed down in the toilet.
-All steering buttons were not working, but somehow the horn was working.
-AC was working but not very powerful.
-SRS and Seatbelt light on the dashboard were on.
-Power steering was whining.
- The thermostat was AWOL and the radiator fan was permanently on.
- The moon roof was opening sluggishly and could only open halfway.
...
With all these problems, the question now is why did I keep this car?
1. The price was good
2. This car was still good, first body and all. Engine looked neat. Abs was working fine. AC was working, though not optimal. So I told myself that the worst that could happen is a new engine and trans.
3. I wanted the challenge cos I love solving car problems.
...
So, first thing I did was to change engine oil and filter with 5w30. Omo! My car became a smoke machine. I had to add the "stop smoking" to avoid the embarrassment while I thought of what to do.

I decided to try restoring the engine since it doesn't look bad from outside. When the engine was opened, the mechanic was amazed that the engine was completely in shape inside. The cylinder lining was perfect. Crank shaft, metals, pistons, all were in good shape. The top was also intact. The only thing that needed work was the rings. In two days, the engine was back together and running with 5w30 oil and no single smoke.
Then came the VTEC problem which was solved by replacing the filter screen in the VTEC solenoid.
Then came the VTC problem and that persky p0011 that dealt with me. After replacing VTC solenoid twice, the problem went away.
Then the transmission. After replacing the ATF twice without much improvement, I decided to rebuild it. Why would I throw something away without first trying to fix it? That is not me. Call me cheap, I don't care. After putting the tranny back in the car and filling with oil, first start, tranny no gree shift. Second start, car no gree enter drive. I was already sweating from my nyash. Infact, almost the whole day, tranny was severely acting up. But by some magic, after several tests, tranny started behaving. Now, 3mths later, tranny is still as smooth as butter. Victory!
Power steering pump was replaced with a tokunbo part and steering became smooth with absolutely no whine or vibration when turning.

About the electrical abuse, there was a strange wire running from the under dash fuse box all the way to the starter in the engine. I knew that wire was not put there by Honda, so I tore it out. As expected, car was no longer able to start. But I noticed the car will start occasionally after pressing the brake pedal randomly. So I looked at the brake pedal and noticed that the small plastic that presses on the brake switch was missing and a piece of paper was in place. It was pressing the switch enough to turn off the brake light but not enough to allow the car start. I removed the paper and constructed a good plastic in its place and care has started every single time since then.
- As for the cats, I had to change both O2 sensors. I didn't replace the cat. I simply bypassed it and removed the cat error code for good.
- So the steering wheel buttons. I told my electrician to bring out the steering flex reel and of course one of the two flex reel inside is completely cut. Someone diverted the horn signal through one of the intact cables. Once again, I decided to go the cheap route. I decided to solder the broken cables together. I didn't think this would work. My electrician told me I was wasting my time. But I gave him back the cable reel to install and 5mth later, all steering wheel buttons are still working.
- AC just needed gas and is still going 5mths later
-SRS and Seatbelt light was due to the driver's seatbelt buckle that was spoilt. Just changed it and all light went off.
Car is 100% functional now
FUEL CONSUMPTION:
I filled my tank up and recet my trip counter. When the fuel light came on, I had 382mils on the trip counter. Car continued till 410miles when I decided to go buy fuel (car didn't stop, meaning it still had fuel). I filled it up with 57litres (14.98gal). After calculations, I got 27mpg of pure city driving. That is veeery good for a rebuilt engine. Very few cars here can boast of this mileage.
...
So next I want to change the side mirrors to txs side mirrors with signal light and if money enter, I'll upgrade the wheels, upgrade the bumper to DC bumper, and give it a good paint job.

I'M PROUD OF BETTY.

I missed the story about the radiator and the moon roof. Will talk about it in an update.

Nice one. I love this!!!

sunnymighty:
A new rewire detect this gauge as the fault, he said 15k. By the way my Car is Toyota Camry Big Daddy.

Exactly what I told you! Pull out the chip and look out for the code. If u mismatch it, u will have an erratic reading.
Ask if only the chip can be bought.

U go buy me Chilled beer when light show for the country.



But like someone said, it might be universal. When I was using 2008 Corolla, that one carry code.

sunnymighty:


Ok sir sorry I forgot the Car is Toyota Camry Big Daddy, will do as said.

No wahala.. the shiny part

sunnymighty:
Happy weekend folks, been having endless battle with my fuel gauge, initially we thought it was the dashboard cluster, but from all indication it appears it's a wiring issue. I don't even know the litres of fuel I have in my tank. I just ensure I buy atleast 5k fuel if the Car must be driven. If you have a good rewire that knows his onion, pls help me, it is becoming a stubborn problem. Car is at Fagba, along Iju Ishaga road. Thanks in anticipation.

B4 u throw things around, even scanner might not detect it, first check your fuel sender unit aka 'sim card' in ur fuel pump assembly. Have it tested and get the exact code. The chip was not expensive in those days but now, I can't say how much. Look for an electrician that is good with fuel pump to locate it.

pope191:


Still on it… car jerk while idle and most times loose power and go off. If I off the a/c on time, the rpm will balance again, but may not fire well. Scan detect map sensor and IAC code. On this matter, I don buy fuel pump, 2 throttle body, 3 map sensors, 2 coils, change belt, set timing. The car will work fine and suddenly it will just loose power, start jerking and it won’t fire well. It will work again and if the thing enter em head, same thing 😂

Check ur air hose connected to the engine. If it has a cut or big hole, it shows similar symptoms.

Ur money don japa. Force him further, u no go like ur car when done eventually by him. Retrieve ur car and go for refund. Even if na 60k u collect, move on. Those guys are wicked.
In short, carry police go for refund. U go get ur full pay, then find police something. No gree for the madman. Money hard to come by.

And ur battery fit don die too... Chai!! Extra cost

Finally BELLA don suspend acceptance rate. Bolt sef!!

The comments in this thread are actually the true state of the country. Una no go allow the writer to finish his story b4 attacking or criticizing him. Some of u no fit toast a babe oooo or touch babe. Not to talk of writing!!
Una blood too hot for this country. @ sapasenator behave joor, come finish this matter nah.

After all this epistle, u still get mind type to be continued.

Gentlelife50:


Wait ooo your own body dey forbid AC abi u get nuemonia bro?

Why are u like dis? So cos of P is useless in that word na im make u troway am like that?
How have u been bro?

this man and talk... funny enough u do not matter in scheme of things. Nigeria will not even do anything, assuming israel decides to have ur time and bomb u. we go happy sef cos u talk too much. Oha soup like you

Pls, how much for original gear auto transmission oil for 2.4l Honda Accord DC?

kelvinmnet:
Also, where can one buy the Transmission filter for the 2003 - 2007 accord.
See image below of the filter and the part no.

This filter is located externally on the gearbox.
See this youtube video link for better understanding:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZAmcEf9LrY&t=457s

my hands are too heavy to type this. But u may start saving for a new gear box in the nearest future.
First of all, scan the car.
Linear or dual solenoid might be the culprit. U fit dey lucky change am and it works fine. With time it might return and becomes erratic, then prepare for the worse.
Gear may start slipping.


I have experienced such with same car. I used my gear for almost 2yrs b4 it gave up. Also check ur gear oil too

They should drop the money on the highway for them, while they are used to learn shooting as they pick the money.

They should deport those cars back to Canada.

The quality of the work sef.... Will it last?

This country is useless.

It is good to listen to Peter Obi codedly.
