Alert me when you find a solution. I am facing same issue. I have done everything. It still persists. Have even changed hub. Four mechanics have checked my shaft and tie rod and ball joints and said they are OK. I have done three alignments. Done tyre rotation. Even bought a new tyre for the side I feel the vibration. Still it still happens.
The shaft Cup may be worn. I had the same issue when accelerating too

Hello House. Pls who knows why my CV shaft(not sure if that is the right name but pic attached) for my 2011 accord keeps going bad. It's driver side.It has not yet failed completely but i have had to change it three times(diff mechanics) in 6 months. It starts with a cranking noise when i turn right and progressively gets worse then i have to replace.
One mechanic suggested i change the lower arm but i am not sure if that will fix it. Also the road to my house is a bit bumpy but i'm curious if that is the reason as i don't have issues with the one on the other side.

Take your car to a competent computerized alignment shop and ask them to take a proper look at your wheels. Might be that your wheel is not properly aligned and it's transferring the pressure to the shaft.
It has happened to me.
Also check other mechanical components on your car like the thyroid, rack and wheel hub for defect.

Hello, Gurus.

I have another important request.

Based on my bitter experience on my EOD with mechanics, particularly some of the mechanics in Oyingbo and my personal mechanics who could not solve but only compounded the car's gear and engine problems. I spent so much money on parts and gear replacement that the problem worsened to the point where I had to sell the car as scrap.

I don't want to have another bad experience with this new 2012 Honda Accord. I have contacted Gazzus in this regard and he responded that, UNFORTUNATELY, he no longer supports that type of vehicle again.

So, could you gurus recommend a reputable Honda mechanic please, preferably one close to Ogba?
Call 07089030689

Your alternator might not be supplying enough juice to power the car.

Turn on the fan speed to the highest, full beam on the headlights, radio and wipper, then use a multimeter to read the battery current. If it's below 12.6V, hold a steady rev at 2,000 rpm. If there is no increase in the voltage reading, then your alternator is not charging fine.

Okay... I just experienced that, so I had to top up with 1 litre.

There are no visible leaks. What do I do please?

If the oil is not leaking, then it's burning out from your combustion chamber.

Good afternoon. My Civic 06 popped up these codes:
1. C1555
2. C0300
3. P1157
4. P2185
5. C0700

Tried googling these codes and each of them are pointing to 4-5 things. I just want to know what each of them means and what I need to do to clear them.
Thanks

It's a Honda Odyssey 2001 model.

I took a closer look under the engine now and noticed some drops of oil on the bolts... that's probably the source of the leak.

I don't know specifically what the previous owner used as I haven't done a complete oil change....but he said it's Mobil...he did the oil change few days before selling to me, and I've done about 1,600miles...so I topped up with 1 litre of Mobil Super 2000 (5w-30)

You need to fix the leak or else you keep on topping up your oil. Don’t let it run low on oil. That’s the number 1 engine killer waiting for you to mess up.

You need a proper professional scanner to scan your transmission.

1 liter for 1,000 miles is on the high side and abnormal.
Yes it is considered normal for some cars to burn through some oil before oil change, but it is very abnormal to burn out the entire oil before it's next oil change.

Okay... I get your point.

Can you recommend the best engine oil to use for my next change?
Car is Honda Odyssey 2001 with 158k mileage

If your car burns a 5W30 oil weight, I'll suggest you switch to a slightly thicker oil (like a 10W40). Use any brand you can afford (as long as it's genuine) with an equally good filter.
