Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Obidikejr(m): 12:41am On Oct 29, 2023 |
Hello bosses in the house. I'm about to buy a car. Noticed a few things. 1. The steering isnt smooth enough. Has a stiff turn. 2. The AC really pulls at the engine especially when moving from a stop. This is a Honda Accord 2009. I understand I'm buying a Nigerian used car and it won't be nearly 100% perfect. But are this things fixable and not cause regret if I proceed further to purchase the car Also noticed the vehicle paper has expired way back in 2016 (same time the custom duty was done). According to the dealer, the person has been using the car in the core north (where all this uniform people don't trouble them) so didn't see need to renew the vehicle papers. What do you think ? Appreciate your thought on this too |

GAZZUZZ: Hello boss. I'm about to buy a car. Noticed a few things. 1. The steering isnt smooth enough. Has a stiff turn. I won't enjoy driving it this way atall. I'm used to light steering and easy turning of the wheel. 2. The AC really pulls at the engine especially when moving from a stop. This is a Honda Accord 2009. I understand I'm buying a Nigerian used car and it won't be nearly 100% perfect. But are this things fixable and not cause regret if I proceed further to purchase the car Also noticed the vehicle paper has expired way back in 2016 (same time the custom duty was done).

jceesquare: OK.. What if smokes? My mechanic is saying we should change the oil to thicker one. 20W-50 |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by kingreign(m): 8:50am On Oct 30, 2023 |
temi4fash:Ah, you didn't specify earlier on na. Anyways, check for leaks around the engine, or in-between the engine and transmission, if none is found, ask someone to drive hard while you follow behind your car. |

kingreign: There are no leaks around the engine. AM i observing if its smoking? but I notice alot of carbon at the exhaust area after a long trip. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by kingreign(m): 9:30am On Oct 30, 2023 |

GAZZUZZ: hello Boss... my corolla 10 makes a sounds during cold start. mech said it was the camshaft. it was replaced and sound stopped. now my car threw up a P0014 code. asides the check engine light, everything works fine.

I was really shocked. Do u advice I use an engine flush during my next service and I will like to buy my mobil1 from you..... weda dem de give me fake. I don't know |

temi4fash:If it smokes then it's time to rebuild or replace engine. @ bolded. If you've been using the factory recommended oil weight, you might want to gradually switch to a thicker/higher rating. Doing so will give you some milage out of that engine, reduce the oil burn problem and top ups intervals before you rebuild or replace the engine. I won't recommend an immediate switch to 20W-50. You might want to try 5W-40, 10W-30 etc before going the 20W-50 route. If it smokes even with 20W-50 oil, then I'm afraid you'll have to save up for rebuild (which I prefer if properly done) or outright replacement. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by temi4fash(m): 2:48pm On Oct 30, 2023 |
jceesquare: I have been using the recommended Oil weight of 5W - 30, Tried the 5W-40 same thing. He then recommended the thicker oil pending when i have enough to replace the engine entirely. |

jceesquare:Can you rebuild or know someone that can? Also how about the cost implication , 2004 accord engine cost 250k at Ladipo , installation witin a day. how does this compares against a rebuild? CC nuey , deportivo and trygo |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by jceesquare(m): 4:59pm On Oct 30, 2023 |
Kokomo:Yes I rebuild. There is no fixed price for rebuilding engine. It might be cheaper or more expensive than the cost price of a used replacement engine depending on the level of damage and quality of parts that would be used for the rebuild. But if properly done, a rebuilt engine would outlive a used replacement option. The advantage you have for outright replacement is the waiting time which would be 2-3 days max. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by jceesquare(m): 5:01pm On Oct 30, 2023 |
temi4fash:Fair enough |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Kokomo: 12:40pm On Oct 31, 2023 |
jceesquare: Ok please can I have your number? If the k24 engine I want to rebuild is not more than half the price of the complete engine, then it is a win for me. If in Lagos I can come for an estimate. Engine burn oil, leaks and the guys man is suffering from old age (compression issues). |

People of God Abeg Make una help me o My car developed one fault and i wanted to check if anyone has experienced and has an idea what it could be Honda accord 2010 Na AC compressor i go do After the man fix am, i go carry the car I noticed on my way it wasn’t moving well and the gear wasn’t selecting well (Note: i had not driven it much) And was really entering reverse and drive with force like “ gbim”(a loud thud) So i parked to check the gear oil because i know when they remove radiator some of the oil will leak Lon and behold the dip stick didn’t have oil on it, I sha bought a dextron 3 oil to top it up and drove home but it didn’t stop change much The car was revving high and no selection or change in gear But i didn’t speed Was just going home jejely Next morning i took it to gear guy and he settled down and opened it and said gear is gone and that fiber is burnt but i didn’t smell anything burnt All i could smell was hot gear oil normally He said he will try his best that it should work. He sha bought abro cleaner, he loosened some of the solenoid on the gear and cleaned it and fixed them And Coupled everything Lo and behold We took it for a test drive and it worked ok The issue came back again on my way home when i parked to get something I wanted to reverse and it engaged but loudly and drive same thing and gear didn’t change I called the guy, he now said i should disconnect battery head and connect it back after 5 minutes and check Lo and behold it stopped and it drive smoothly and selected gears appropriately But anytime i off car and i want to start it again and i don’t disconnect battery for few seconds and plug it back The problem comes But if i disconnect battery It works fine until i of the car again.. I didn’t believe the burnt gear thing When i called the gear guy back and told him i need to disconnect battery to always reset He said i will buy gear and that it’s gone But i don’t seem to buy this because i took it to someone else that does gear (mechanical) (first guy was gear electrician) the person said nothing burnt And that if gear is truly burnt, and scattered as he said , why does it work when i disconnect battery and plug back? That it’s probably something electrical Although i go go scan am tomorrow sha But has anyone experienced anything of such ?? |
