Greetings to all the wonderful contributors here Please your help is seriously and urgently needed. I just confirmed my catalysts converter was stolen. It's a 2004 accord i4 ex. Two weeks ago I was having terrible hard-starting, my electrician fixed the fuel pump and discovered the fuel tank is filled with lots of water and mudlike substance. He recommended a nearby mechanic I never used before to remove and wash the tank which was done. For the next two weeks I had terrible fuel consumption. Trips of 3 fuel weekly became over 8k. And a terrible shattering sound was steadyly increase by days. I thought it will clear but became worse. I google it yesterday and confirm it's a stolen catalysts symptom. I confronted him, and after several attempts to derail and denial, he became remorseful and pleaded that I bring back the car first thing in the morning that he will "correct the wrong''. He never categorically admited he stole it. But his colleagues are witnesses and begged in his behalf not to have him arrested or escalate the matter. I need professional advice, what is the best measure I should employ to have my car back in shape without suspected deceptive and temporary fix Cc: Gazzuzz Radautuoworks Kingreign Bigkendo |

dgitrader: For that accord, a missing cat converter will not cause an increased fuel consumption, except catalyst was removed & replaced with foreign object.. |

Good day everyone. Please I recently bought a Honda accord 95. I want to change the ATF fluid but don't know which to use. The former owner and mechanic advised that I can use abro Dextron ATF but I'm a bit scared. Please would appreciate your help |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by thebigkendo(m): 12:17pm On Jan 21, 2020 |
cumlord: If you are unsure and no issue with your transmission, ATF inside is not burnt... Leave it alone!!!!!! |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by dgitrader(m): 1:30pm On Jan 21, 2020 |
I wonder why there isn't another angle to this, I was told to leave my EOD transmission fluid alone for 6+ years until it failed! thebigkendo: Can't there be a gradual(every 4weeks city drive) draining off and filling simultaneously of the fluid? i.e take off ½liter unknown fluid, fill back ½liter recommended fluid every month till circle completes. Just thinking! |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by adanny01(m): 5:23pm On Jan 21, 2020 |
dgitrader: Missing catalytic converter will not affect fuel consumption to that level. Most times its a bad Air/fuel ratio sensor. I just recovered from that same issue. In my case, it was Air fuel ratio sensor and knock sensor. I also tried to change my fuel pressure control valve but didn't get the right one so i clean the one inside. My fuel consumption is down to normal. You should confirm with a scan. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by thebigkendo(m): 6:02pm On Jan 21, 2020 |
dgitrader: Let me rephrase what i meant Instead of him putting wrong fluid(since he is not sure).. Its better he leave what he has there till he is sure.. What makes you think it your "leaving" the ATF alone that spoilt you tranny? I am just wondering another angle too ohhh ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by dgitrader(m): 6:25pm On Jan 21, 2020 |
adanny01: Thank you. I will look into it |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Nobody: 6:34pm On Jan 21, 2020 |
adanny01:Can one buy a used one as replacement... O2 sensor I mean? |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by radautoworks: 6:37pm On Jan 21, 2020 |

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by adanny01(m): 12:59am On Jan 22, 2020 |
Smartchoiice: Yes you can, but its complicated. I went with a scanner, tested about 10 before I got a responsive one. The sensor is very sensitive. One of the things to check is that the sensor itself must look exactly like the one in the car and exactly the same length of cable and the sensor must not have any sign of force on its body. Dont pay until it is tested. The one for a V6 has longer cable but will work. 2 Likes |

Please what engine oil can be recommended for use for Honda city 2007 model? Cc: Gazzuzz Radautuoworks Kingreign Bigkendo |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Uniportadmision: 3:17pm On Jan 23, 2020 |
Sup guys, just got this Nigeria used v6 eod, don't know the former oil used both for the engine and transmission but I plan to use the recommended 5w20 (Mobil) and atf dw-1, question is can I change them all? Inside the engine still looks clean, no sludge. I'm told too many fake oils are in circulation, any idea where I can get the original fluids mentioned above in port Harcourt? Secondly, I need a competent electrician and Ac guy in port Harcourt, please recommend, please I don't want a trial and error person. God bless you all. |

radautoworks: what would you expect from a "GREEN" garage.. ![]() ![]() My statement started with "For that Accord" ...so i was specific, i did not generalize the statement in the link you posted, they were speaking "generally" Again i am speaking from experience, I have been driving mine(same generation) for years with No Cat I drove for a year with a P0420 code, then hoping to increase MPG ,i cleared the P0420 by installing a spacer on the downstream O2 sensor.. Same MPG no change.. A friend has the same car...He bought it sometime last year, clean toks, catalyst is intact with no MIL, his MPG is better than mine by 1 -2 and he does more highway driving while i do city driving. From the same post oh.. On Pros Point 2 You can achieve better gas mileage Then Cons Point 5 You will pay more for fuel ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

thebigkendo: I noticed the seeming contradiction too but read the context and it's a typo. I didn't notice the "on this Accord' part before because we had this conversation before about another vehicle |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by thebigkendo(m): 1:12am On Jan 24, 2020 |
radautoworks: Nah.. It was still the 7th gen Accord we had the same conversation about.. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by temi4fash(m): 8:12am On Jan 24, 2020 |
radautoworks: Good morning madam, Please I recently got an Honda City 2007, it's my first car, I dont know the oil that has been used before but I noticed the oil has dropped below the guage point. And the car doesn't smoke. The recommended oil i saw online is 5W40 and another place 5W30. Which do you advise is right and can I start using it immediately. |
