Just imagine what was causing the exceptionally high fuel consumption on a 2010 Honda Accord with 4 cylinder engine. My customer bought this car just before xmas. One full tank for just 100 kilometer use. Catalyst components removed and all sorts of welding and stuffing done inside the mufflers. We had to replace the ENTIRE exhaust system. Have that car inspected properly before you buy.

cardoctor:is the car okay now.? If yes how much did he spent? Plus amount he bought the car. I want to check something what year is the honda accord. The problem is most Nigerians don't want to spend money to maintain their car. They end up selling it after they have killed it and can't take it anymore. |

cardoctor:high. I think my accord consume fuel too. The seller told me the catalyst is still intact but I haven't inspect it. I have used more than 65 litres for 170miles with AC. It's V6 honda. Yesterday I cleaned the air filter, from scan it shows cylinder misfiring. I changed all 6 plug to Belgium plug. |

The toks plugs u bought too were removed from an engine. Original 6 plugs costs aout 25$, fake from 8k up2ards. If you dont use the right plugs mqde for your car,it will consumefuel. Go online and read the type of plugs gan gan for your car. Catalyst has lil impact on fuel consumption. Other factorsauxh as hard accelerations, hard brakes,AC on,faulty injector mouth,clogged nozzles,etc AutoManual: 1 Like |

Angrygoat:the mechanic said 9k for the 6 plug. when he removed the plugs. there was black sooth on the plugs. used plug he said 4k for the 6. from indication the plug they remove from my car were new plugs. just that the black dried sooth are at the plug. shouldnt i have wash and cleaned it instead of buying used plugs? because those 6 he removed from my own he might wash them and sell as used plug too. They were neat and new. Also the air filter has dust and he give it to vulcanizer to blow them out with pump. i already cleared the check engine code with scanner. just hope it doesnt come again and the fuel improve. 65littre of full tank how many miles it should have take on city driving? v6. |
Re: Catalyst related High Fuel consumption. (Pics) by Angrygoat: 5:18pm On Apr 05, 2023 |
A v6 on a city driving which consists of drive,brake,traffic,stop,off engine ,go out,come back after 30mins or an hour. Start engin3,drive,stop,brake,go ,brake,drive,brake. U can never reach your factory mpg. Like I said used original plugs like 15 to 20k,original gan gan brand new 45k upwards. All toks plugs are fake/copys/clones. If u need original plug from France or USA,visit amazon or aliexpress. U will see the price of 1plug will almost be 10k or less,just 1 plug oh. Cabin filter and air filter have no effect,its not like leaves or nylon bags were blocking the air passage. Buy original plugs from abroad and rest. U have wasted a lot of money and mechanic dey use u chop. AutoManual: 1 Like |

Angrygoat:not expecting the manufacture mpg on foreign and Nigeria used car. As far as the car is now new. You can’t get to the actual mpg as stated. But i have always divided it in two. For the car to he fuel efficient it show pass the half make of mpg not below. |
Re: Catalyst related High Fuel consumption. (Pics) by Angrygoat: 9:19pm On Apr 05, 2023 |
Dey do top up everyday,even if na 2k. No make the fuel guage pass half tank. Do this for 2 weeks.not really everyday,but maybe every two 3 days do top up,2k fuel go boost u to at least 2nd or 3rd mark b4 full tank on guage. From there study your duel,e fit be fake fuel pump,weak fuel pump or non recommended plugs u r using. AutoManual: |
