Hello gurus. Pls what do I do? My Honda Accord DC 07 hesitates and the rpm lowers almost to zero anytime I put on my AC. I can only use the AC when am on motion. Once I brake to climb either a bump or hill, it's very difficult.

Pls how do I correct dis?
What do you/your technician do that caused this to happen?
Have a competent technician physically check the car. I can’t advise you to do anything unless it’s checked by a good technician.

Thanks Kingreign, I didn't tamper with anything. If the AC is not on, the car drives smoothly. But as soon as I switch on the AC, it's as if the car is carrying a very heavy load. Acceleration isn't fast and climbing hill or bump with the AC turned on becomes a challenge.

Thank you Kingreign. I refused taking the vehicle to him, even after he called me severally to bring the vehicle to his workshop. Meanwhile, I noticed something today when driving on the highway today. If I accelerate constantly, before the speedometer gets to 40, the car vibrates and then becomes smooth again, it also happens before it reaches 60. It's like a vibration that you will think the road is rough, then it becomes smooth again until its above to reach the next point. I think this vibration happens when the vehicle is about to change from one gear to the other. What could be the cause please?
1. Scan.
2. Inspect inner cup of shaft for wear. If cv boot is torn, then, the cup or the spicer bearing is worn. Replace as a unit. Ensure it is done in a clean place and no impurity is introduced into your transmission during that activity.

Thank you King. I will scan the vehicle today. Meanwhile, I really need a good gear mechanic to drain out and replace my gear oil.

I don’t know what the cause may be because I have not diagnosed or test driven the car.

That’s the approximate range your car’s fuel can take you bearing in mind a lot of factors such as driving style, speed, etc

Hi,
I drive an 05 Camry.
Recently, I started hearing a humming sound while in motion, that gets louder as I pick up pace.
I thought my hub bearings were bad and changed the hub on both sides but the sound still persists.
Nobody has been able to tell me exactly what the problem is.
Any thoughts?

Is the noise from the front or rear?

If the battery is weak it will discharge overtime. If the alternator is trickle charging, when you stop driving, overtime, the battery charge will deplete. If there are any breaches or leak of power supply, it can deplete battery charge too.
So, have a competent electrician check the cause of the battery drain.

Please Boss I'm presently experiencing same issues of draining battery on a newly acquired car.

I suspect the battery is weak and doesn't hold charge due to long parking of the car before i bought it, but i can't tell from just looking at it. Can you please give me tips on how to know if the battery is weak because I'm already planning on buying a new one today.

Thanks

Looks alone can’t tell if a battery is weak or not.

Guys please this car is Toyota Matrix 2010. It stalls when climbing up or when it's slow. The car vibrates all round ,it feels heavy to drive, the smoke is smelling fuel, it kills coil.

It is from the front. Louder on the Driver's side

Did you replace complete hub or you pressed the bearing?

If you’ve done these and all the hubs are confirmed to be okay, check if your tyres are noisy and also check your transmission.

Alright then, I'll just get a new replacement and see how everything goes.

Meanwhile i saw something like water/oil around one of the terminals and it was much.

I changed the complete hub.
I suspect the transmission too. Probably the axle or differential.

Most likely transmission. However I stand corrected. Have it checked by a competent technician to be sure of what you’re doing.

Check your brake caliper and pads for the noise, as for the coolant drying of, have someone who’s competent to check it.

If you are in Abuja, feel free to contact me to check it for you.
