Alphil: Basic principle for checking overheating in this vehicle is very easy 1. Check air flow direction from cooling fans, and correct if wrong. 2. Check radiator is free from internal blockage and restriction of coolant flow. Replace with brand new unit if defective. 3. Check if thermostat is stuck closed and replace if defective 4. Check that water pump gives proper flow of coolant and is not leaking . You can inspect the blades if in doubt . 5. Ensure head gasket is not damaged and combustion finding its way into the cooling system. Replace headgasket if that is the issue . Honda city if abused can be a nightmare you will never wake up from, when in good shape it's one of the most efficient vehicles I have ever used (2008-2013) 4 Likes |

GAZZUZZ Please sir, I drive a Toyota Avalon 2004. There is this blowing (misfiring) sound everytime I tried to accelerate. I have changed all my coils, plugs, fuel pump and still the sound is still there. Picking up from rest is hard like something is trying to choke it.before it picks up.. What can possibly be the cause sir or any idea what it might be?? |

GAZZUZZ: Thanks you sir. Will changing the crankshaft eliminate the problem totally cos my mechanic also said I might need to change it and also do a general tune up on the engine |

Kaycee54321:4km/L is fair. If you really want to now your fuel consumption, take the vehicle on the highway and measure the consumption. Please note that your mpg was measured abroad with an empty vehicle (no load), with the ac turned off and at a steady speed of about 55 miles per hour. Getting this ideal mpg in Nigeria will be a herculean task. 1 Like |

I intend reverting the cooling system of 08 Accord. Came with double cell radiator, thermostat removed, Fans connected directly and I top it up with water like every 2 days, I see water drip from the around the cap and hose leading to the reservoir which I intend changing. Kindly advice if I should replace radiator when doing the revert. How much is double cell currently? |

Kaycee54321: Boss if you get 4km/L instead of 7 in Lagos traffics please don’t stress yourself. Remember our fuel is no where any good as a product like the ones they sell in abroad. Tires and way of driving matters a lot. |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Kaycee54321(m): 8:23am On Apr 05, 2021 |
seanfer: Thanks Boss. I was wondering because sometimes I see values of less than 2.5 Km/L. That means I'll have to run checks like fuel pump and the like...and just like you said, pattern of driving matters too. Thank you. |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by DMechy: 8:24am On Apr 05, 2021 |
OutOnBail: Just change the pressure cap ( radiator cover) and see if it still leaks. If your car is not overheating, and no issues asides the fact that you noticed the anomaly. Save yourself the stress and your money. You might just be about to embark on the journey to wake the devil in your accord. If you are making the corrections yourself, maybe i will advise it, but giving it to people who did the Nigerian thing to it is calling for trouble. They will tell you, sheybi oga, we told you. Just like i am telling you. |

Kaycee54321: Scan the vehicle and post codes here for experts to advise on what to do. And you can change plugs to the ones recommend for your vehicle. 1 Like 1 Share |

OutOnBail:There is an underlying problem with your cooling system and if you don't find the root cause, reverting to factory will not still solve it. I will suggest you start from the least which is radiator cover. Secondly check if there is any leak on your radiator body. Check your fans too. Once you get the system right, you can then revert to factory. Good luck. |

Sorry Guys! I actually quoted a wrong message, my respond goes to the owner who was having multiple cylinder musfiring and system too lean. My message was never meant for knocking sound problem.... Am4obama: |

Your car consuming too much... Check the efficiency of your O2 sensor bank 1. Check for any air leakages along Air compartment and exhaust. Is your MAF sensor working perfectly? jahrule: 1 Like |
