Good morning all, I drive a Honda Civic 2006 model IVTEC, anytime I engage in reverse gear it will be humming before suddenly moved, this only happens when trying to engage in reverse gear.

Start from basics. Check level and condition of transmission fluid, scan tranny to check for codes.

Could be a few things. Master cylinder, air in brake lines etc. Proper diagnosis required. What's the repair history like?

radautoworks:


Need more information. We don't like remote diagnosis because it could be really simple when we finally see it. Is it really hard when you press down or really loose and goes down to the floor immediately?

ik121:
Never faulty. Jus minor issues like brake pad, suspensions and oil change. This is d first time something like this is hapening.

oluwaseunla:


Uncle, first of all, you gathered wrong.

Secondly, since you know us so well, you may ask him if I always agree with him, I think his answer may shock you.

Thirdly, you nairaland folks take things too serious. Relax, enjoy life, you will live long that way sir. Just an "independent opinion".

Like I said I was in the mood, I may subsequently ignore you. Do have a restful night sir.

Emabinu!!! If you have no contributions to make to all the numerous queries on Cartalk, Please go back to Politics & Celebrity section

AutoSpaNg:
Its ok Sir; We have learnt to expect nothing better from some people.

ik121:
Tnx for ur response. Unfortunately i'm not in lagos. Yes it's really loose and goes down to the floor. I just managed it to work this morning.

Sight unseen, sounds like the master cylinder. When you are stopped, double pump on the brake and then see if it slowly continues to creep down. That should be confirmation.

ik121:
Ok ma. Plz is the master cylinder repairable or i have to buy new parts? Plz could u arm me with possible knwledge/involvements? Sorry 4 bugging u alot.

radautoworks:


What kind of car is this btw?

ik121:
Issue has been resolved. The brake fluid got low so more hydraulic was topped to maximum. Tnx 4 ur assistance.

oluwaseunla:


It is wrong to top your brake fluid except there is a leak. Are you sure you brake pads are OK? Besides, a brake fluid that low should have triggered the brake light on the dash. You didn't mention the light.

ik121:
Yeah d brake light on d dash didnt trigger. I drove it to my mech and complained to him. He requested i open d bonnet then he comfirmed d brake fluid was at minimum, bought hydraulic then he topped it to maximum and pumped d brake and issue went away. I drove it whole of ystdy nd brake didnt go down to d floor again. Ur input is highly appreciated.

oluwaseunla:


Welcome sir. Did your mech check the condition of your brake pads?

Hmm... I think something is still wrong but okay. Let's see how long this lasts. Drive carefully for now.

My Ogas in the house, good day sir.

Kindly help to escalate possible solution to my 2007 Camry issue. My rpm on starting the engine stays at 1500 and goes to between 1000 and 1200 as soon as I engage the gear. I think something is wrong with it. Thanks in advance.

Oga GAZZUZZ and other esteemed learned ones in the house, Good day to you all.

Please my small suzuki bus(7 passengers) always drains oil when there is no sign of leakage. I have to constantly top the oil to get it back to the normal level.

How can I fix or manage this.
Thanks as I anticipate your reponses.

GAZZUZZ:


replace the engine with a well maintained used one. You will find it in ladipo

themonk:

Choi, can I manage it till it breaks down completely so I can save money for the new engine or will it spoil other things?
