Well done.

We were recently accused of rolling back the mileage on this advert made in 2019 by a certain individual on Nairaland (Rule

This is the vehicle as advertised on copart.

This is the mileage when it was driven from the port to the painter/panelbeater and finally shop for sale.

What are your thoughts?

Only thing I see is that the Copart lot said 'not actual' regarding the mileage at US auction, meaning that copart could not guarantee against a rollback. That said, I see no evidence of Gazzuzz adjusting mileage in Nigeria.

Finally found silicone spray! Been on the lookout for this for a LONG time.

Needed to lube sticky car window tracks. Bought at Game Abj, incase you also need.

Yes from the parts I have seen, the 9th generation Accord is a Macpherson suspension.

And the ride is not the same. The 'feel' of the road is better with the 7th gen.

Mottomata:

Iyke this video is educative. Good job!!!

A question, how about a situation where from a previous job, the AC system has a lot of oil above the recommended qty. What do you do to resolve this issue?

Unfortunately, this will require disassembly of the components of the AC and flushing. Note that certain things should not be flushed e.g. Compressor, condenser. Compressor should just be drained. After all this, add correct oil quantity to components (eg. Compressor) and the system after you reassemble. There might be some manufacturer specifics to how much oil should be drained from the compressor or added.
Why do you think the system has too much oil?

Thanks

Copy that.

The note on your website already does justice to the DIY but this is very beautiful for people who appreciate video illustration better.

Is the vacuum pump needed for a gas topup or one should just stick to pressure readings?

Thanks mate. No vacuum pump required for top ups. You will have to work with pressure in that case. I generally prefer to evacuate and refill personally.

Piyke:
I was in Lagos recently and picked up all I need to correctly charge an AC system! Thanks to Gazzuzz who gave me the right market to get these in Lag.



I've already used the tools to give the perfect charge to my AC. I documented the DIY procedure here: http://www.diyautoworksng.com/recharge-car-ac-system/

I had to do this because when my magnetic clutch was replaced 3 years ago, no vacuum was applied on the system . I just couldn't find a shop with a vacuum pump. Now I know better.

My cabin now feels like trekking unclothed in Antarctica

I did this again recently and got a video this time...

adanny01:
Good day Piyke.

I did remember watching a video of yours doing an Electronic Load Detector ELD job.

I am having the issue currently and mine is horrific. It has left me stranded several times. I thought I had a dead battery but if I charge outside the car the battery holds good charge only to become weak days later.

It was just yesterday I discovered during live scan that at idle I have 13.9-14.5vdc but while driving it drops to 12.4-12.7vdc and 11.9vdc with full lights and high sound system volume. It means I drive on batteries and idle on alternator except when AC is on. So if I don't have enough idle time, my battery will be depleted and can't start the car. It has happened randomly more than 5times. I left the car for 4months and it started at once but when I drove out, the battery went flat.

What was your result? Is changing the ELD unit only a viable option?

Hi adanny01,

Sorry for the late reply... Been off NL for a bit.

You are correct, I did do a video https://youtu.be/tMh9tbo4Ee8 that showed how to replace the ELD although the objective of the video was to fix a high beam light that wouldn't turn off. (Disclaimer: @all - this is one of my older videos that I am not so proud of the videography , you should check my newer videos before you judge me ). This was done by replacing the logic board in the non-serviceable part of the engine fuse box. You will encounter the ELD in the course of this procedure. I did not change mine.
Now, 2 questions as this could be a failing ELD or alternator. Do you have a CEL with an ELD related code? Also, does the battery circuit warning indicator come on at all? If it does, does it flicker or stay steady. If flickering, I would be leaning more towards an ELD. Steady, I guess more of an alternator that is unable to switch into high gear since you say it supplies 14vdc approx at idle.

Assuming things are pointing to the ELD, that should be the cheaper option to replace. In my case I got the used, skeletal engine fuse box for; I think N2,500. All useful components were already gone: fuses, relays etc save the ELD and logic board.

Happy to see how this pans out. Let me know.

Reminds me of my days of driving Gombe to Enugu! Used the Jos, makurdi route a couple times. Also did the Adamawa, Taraba route once. This was before all the herdsmen madness started.
That said, the best road I've driven on in Nigeria is Warri to Patani (I think). This was the road built by Ibori. Okowa in power, long after Ibori had gone, yet it had no pot holes. Had some very good straights as well. Almost like airport runway tarmac lol. The foreign firm did a darn good job on the road.

thaqib:
I drive a 2000 Camry. I had in d past( usually within) 4 or 6 months been either changing alternator, battery or both. Last week, I decided to take a bold step and at ladipo, a rewire traced d problem to brainbox.
So last week, I changed the brain box, bought a new battery and a supposedly good alternator

Today , my battery stopped kicking. I had to jump start the car. The battery is flat

What do I do?

Parasitic drain very possible here. A multimeter will say a lot. A competent tech can rule out the alternator and find out what the problem is with a multimeter. Find a good workshop.

Ahhh

I miss the good 'ol days

I get heated seats on d car, the previous owner just bought three tokunbo tyres. the fourth one is good already,

those stain on car windshield and bonnet are from wedding decorations by the previous user..I will clear them tommorow...

oya my bosses 9icetoo, adanny01, Uboma, piyke, you don get new member.
please pay me my due sirs..lol

Congrats on getting your new Accord! Wishing you all the best. Feel free to reach out.

I go like see am for myself.

Na common EOD o.

I Don see his Honda and its still sharp. It can still go miles.

I hail o!

9icetoo:

11k miles a year!!!
Piyke, you dey waka oo.
Nice one. Very reliable vehicle you have there

Lol. Don't think it's too much. This car has been driven mostly highway including going to work. It is stop and go that kills vehicles, especially if maintenance practice is poor on top of that.

Now over 255k miles and doing more preventive maintenance.

I recently noticed my radiator fans come on at a higher temperature than previously. They used to come on before 100oC but this changed to 100 and above.
So I went ahead to replace the radiator fan switch (coolant temperature switch/sensor). I did a video while at it:

Hi Boss,

Please I have the following codes showing up on my scanner. I have shifting issues whereby the gear slips when changing to 2 and wouldn't shift again until I off and on the car before it engages normal but starts the crazy after like 10mins. It has been really frustrating.
It started after I serviced the gear sometime in July with another transmission fluid (can't remember the name). I had to revert to DW1 about a month ago and I plan to drain 2litres out and replace with DW1 in 2wks time.
Please can you help out.
I use '03 EOD

Better to create a thread or post in the ask Gazzuzz thread.
That said, for the transmission, you need to do a x3 drain and fill with DW1 and then a final fill up. This has to be done ASAP and you must follow the factory recommended way of doing this (not the 2L drain & refill). There is no guarantee that damage hasn't occurred in the transmission, however, the x3 drain is the logical next step. You may only need x2 if your DW1 replacement a month ago was done correctly.

I've seen where to rob

Lol. The Lord is my fortress

sultaan:
my brother why didn't you get a battery tender instead of this dinosaur

I think I recall reading somewhere that these big ones do a better job at desulfating batteries... Some guy on YouTube...

EgunMogaji2:
I couldn’t find a fully automatic one so I’ll deal with this one. Hope I don’t burn down the garage.

Nice! What's the max amps it charges batteries at?

EgunMogaji2:


Very nice video

Thanks!

I did a tools tour following a viewer request on my channel.
