nurey: The car only had a code of misfire before the work but was working so smoothly. He was checking if we needed to change plugs when he raise the car on idle and it went off, not starting again with sign of timing change jumped. At that time, I did not scan again. So he just parked the car, started working on the timing chain, etc the next day. Thanks! |

GAZZUZZ:Good pm, Oga Gazz. Yesterday, I drove my Honda Accord 07(4plugs) from Lagos to Abuja and the ride wasn't so smooth. From Lagos everything was perfect until I get to Osun, I discovered the car wasn't accelerating as normal i.e it's taking time before it select gears and as things get worse, small noticeable sound like blop-blop was coming from the engine chamber so I stopped and get a road mechanic to check, to my surprise: the mech guy told me to change the gear, I just told him thanks and zoomed off! I discoverd each time the problem above problem starts, I just park; switch off the ignition and switch on again and lo, everything will be perfect for another 70km before I repeat and that was how I get to Abuja. I called my mech back in Lagos, he said I should change the transmission oil and everything will be fine. Prior to the journey, the Lagos mech serviced the car and told me to change the transaction oil, also change the plugs at next service but I didn't change the oil due to his antics of ripping me off. My bad tho, now in the city, the car seem to be normal again but I know inside of me- it's not 100% okay. What could be the problem pls? |

ablesolomo: Scanning to retrieve information is one thing Using the information for prognosis and diagnosis is another then Actually fixing the problem is another. 1 Like |

nurey: But can this Autel Maxiscan 509 scan ABS issues? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by nurey(m): 7:34pm On Jan 10, 2020 |
ablesolomo: I can't say never used it before. from what I gathered the 609 can scan ABS codes probably for a TINO it should be able to pick ABS codes. |

GAZZUZZ: Which model of scan can i go for? Full name with model number is necessary. Please help |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Lavisha(f): 12:17pm On Jan 11, 2020 |
GAZZUZZ:Thanks for your response sir. I just left the workshop now, after test driving, the mech check the fluids and said transmission was too much. So, he reduced it and flush the nozzles then we went for a drive again and everything seem normal again. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 12:27pm On Jan 11, 2020 |
Lavisha: did you drive 70km steady? If no work done was academic exercise. Dirty injectors will not slow you down after long distance driving neither will excessive transmission oil. Work done =0 |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Lavisha(f): 12:38pm On Jan 11, 2020 |
GAZZUZZ:He drove for 10km only. I thot as much too cos the problem started after Ibadan and that about after 120km away from Lagos I will take it back later in the day to change the fuel assy. like how much will it cost sir? |
