Hello boss.... ur advice needed

Honda accord v6 2005... catalyst blocked and was replaced... car starts up but the engine gets real hot (not overheating). mechanic said gasket leakage.... gasket was changed.... same heat and now oil spills from behind the engine.... now he loosed the bottom plate and said the piston rings need to be changed, that its stuck to the engine.... whats ur advice, do u think i shld change the piston rings and if i do, do u think the problem wld be resolved and the car wld function at least close to what it was or do u advice i go get a new engine....

Many thanks for this. We have tried to do a reset of some sort, but the problem still persists. I actually need a mechanic fixes hybrid cars to have a look. I was referred to someone in Agungi but he has been giving me attitude, he's hardly even picking up my calls . He says his hands are full.

he might also be running away from your job

Lol why are you discouraging him ke?

na you wan sell the car?

GAZZUZZ:

in my jokes and smiles I still pass a message.

I owned a 2002 avalon from 2007-2008, excellent ride handling, good ground clearance.

Now for a first timer who wants to buy a 2002 avalon, I know you are working on a tight budget, I guess you have already seen what you want to buy. The down side of cars that old with 3.0 litre engines is poor fuel economy. If you were to ask me about the peugeot 406 with a V6 engine I would not mention fuel economy because it is excellent .900km on a full tank been there done that)

You will be lucky to average 300km on a fulltank in lagos if you buy the 2002 avalon.

GAZZUZZ:

Me I want to use it outside Lagos State. 30% traffic in my area. Would you still canvass against it? I changed my mind from the Xterra and Pathfinder to go for the Avalon. I just need a car with great ground clearance and reasonable fuel economy as a daily driver. Without that notice of the SUV

personally the car is too long jor. If you want to buy limo, kukuma buy limo

Timi contribute or just mind your early morning jedi and kainkain. Next time you poke a fun at my posts I will so brush you that you will regret coming to Nairaland.
A promise from the #floor.

timifakay:

If you were so brushed as a young child, we won't be facing your wahala on nairaland.

Timi I will teach you respect.

Gazzuzz told my friend some weeks ago that the 2007 Avalon is an old man's car! That beauty! I will still buy it and use it. And you'll repair it if it has a single problem . Call me an old man . I'm happy to hear you used one too .

Oga Gazzuzz I beg to disagree with you on this. I know you mean well for him and all, but I think you should go easy on the stereotype. In my personal experience, I bought a Nigerian used 2001 Honda Accord v6 (Baby boy). Note it was imported into the country and used by someone for 7years before I bought it. I used that car solely in Lagos with mad traffic and all. On a 60 litre full tank, I regularly averaged 250- 270miles, that is, over 400km. The car was fuel efficient.

The 2002 Avalon has a larger tank so should do more miles. I think the key is two treat your car right as per manufacturer's specifications and you will be fine.

I have friends with i4 engines that cannot even do 180miles on a full 70litre tank.

GAZZUZZ:

I disagree. Do not compare the honda and the toyota.

Please shed more light.

ThaSlimKidd:

Thank you oga boss.
so you'd advice I go with the accord 06/07 DC i4 model over the 07 Honda civic?

Coolgent:

Very nice car!
Scan it and make sure it has no fault.
