Anytime I climb a speed bump, I hear "kum" underneath. I changed my shocks because of this same sound yet it persists. What could be the problem, please?

Oga GAZZUZZ. Kindly advise as regards the option you would recommend when changing the AC compressor of a Toyota Matrix 06- a new one or tokunbo

Toks all the way. Very reliable

Thanks sir. Let me go and show my mechanic this grammar. BTW, do this parts have common names? It sounds like my mechanic may not be conversant with these names.

fix the obvious issue of ATF leaking and top up with original DW. Then scan for codes. All the best.
update

I scanned and got two codes which you can see below, I also decided to drain the ATF and pour 5 litres of honda Dw1 into my transmission.

I will bring feedbacks as we progress, because it was done today

.


The P0016 basically means the engine ECU has noticed the camshaft and crankshaft positions are out of sync.

Specifically the camshaft on the exhaust cam of bank1.

The OCV oil passages might be blocked with RTV silicone (I see that a lot)

O rings not installed in oil passages for camshaft actuators

Faulty OCV (exhausts bank1)

Faulty actuator (exhausts bank1)

Did you try fixing 3 sec cold start rattle?

Good morning everyone.

My steering is hard to turn when entering corners or a roundabout.

The pump is good and my mechanic thinks it is the steering rack.

The car is Honda Accord 2007.
I don't have much for new one.

Questions

1. Should I rebuild it?

2. Should I buy toks or must buy a new one?

Please I need your help on this.

Thank you all.

Need Help!!!

Car: Honda Accord 2004 2.4L i4
Problem noticed: Car drives well on a free road. After getting stuck in traffic for some mins, hard shifting is noticed (having to get to RPM to shift to the next gear). Then there is a kickback when downshifting (taking the leg off throttle). Once I park by the road side, engine off and back on, it resets. Until the next traffic.
This mostly happens after a long drive

CEL is off
Car scanned: Codes- P0685, P0780, P1734 (PCM/ECM power relay circuit control malfunction, problem in shift control system and shift solenoid valves B and C stuck on respectively)


What's the possible solution to this?
how were you able to resolve yours?
My cel light is off
Scanned and I got 2 codes
61-1
83-13 ecm/pcm relation failure
My ride is 2006 honda accord v6, that I have been using for 6yrs.
My driving experience are similar to yours, my transmission began slipping last week. I have drained the Atf and poured fresh 6litres of dw1 atf, still the problem persists. So I have decided to change the transmission entirely with a tokunboh one.
