I have a 2008 Honda Accord, 4cl. I recently changed the radiator after the previous radiator was leaking seriously.


I noticed rising engine temperature when in traffic with ac on. I have taken it to the mechanic for inspection, the radiator and condenser fins have been flushed and the fans have been inspected, the water too. The car does not overheat at all when I'm moving fast.

Once I get into traffic for 15-30 minutes. The temperature gauge passes the half mark.

One of the mechanic believe it's a blown head gasket problem while the other mechanic is suggesting I change the radiator.

The current radiator in the car is a double cell eod radiatorand I have no thermostat. All the mechs are saying the radiator should work just fine.

I'm about to pour some money on purchasing a new radiator tomorrow. But I am not Soo sure that's the solution to the problem. I would appreciate response from the car gurus or anyone with similar experience


Did you buy a brand new radiator?

What year model?
I don’t know if it’s a v6
Check the upstream and downstream O2 sensors on the exhaust pipe. If they’re connected properly, if they’re, replace with exact type.

I4, Accord euro Sport 2006. I suspected the sensors. I guess a Rewire would have to check it.

Hi guys

Lexus Rx 350 2011 is showing P0420 and P0430.

The VSC light came on and later the check engine light. The mechanics are saying its the catalyst. What could be wrong? The check AWD system warning is also on. Cc Kingreign and all the other gurus in the house

Please guys, I had cause to change my compressor about a week ago. But since yesterday I observed whenever I am in traffic and My RPM drops, I start experiencing heavy vibration in the engine bay and my RPM fluctuates. But when I am on motion, no such vibrations. What could be the cause?

Please I need urgent help. I noticed oil spillage under my Rx350. On consulting my mechanic, he said it was from the gear, that he needs to drop the engine to fix the oil seal. To cut the long story short, he dropped the engine and fixed a new oil seal, but right now, my car cannot move as suppose. It keeps revving without moving and it jerks when switching from P to D and R..Mehn! I am so unhappy right now. It's Rx350 2011 model. Please I am sad and confused right now.

Get that car scanned and let me know the code, just bear in mind, that transmission may have been contaminated.

My Corolla 2008 model of late does not select gears beyond gear 2. About a week ago it was not selecting beyond gear 3 and the transmission gear oil was changed as recommended by a mechanic. Now it does not select beyond gear 2 and does not speed more than 50km/h. Is automatic gear serviceable or repairable or do I need outright replacement. Please advise.

Scan but I fear the transmission has been contaminated with dirt.

Rather than allow some of these techs touch your sensitive gear to fix leaking oil seals,buy Lucas transmission fix oil. It stops leaks and fixes most seal leaks.

Read through customer reviews on Amazon.

Check if the TCM harness is plugged in properly. If it is, have your technician unplug it and check if it’s pins are rusted or bent. Then plug it properly and securely. Clear codes and test drive again. If it doesn’t work, replace that TCM module.
