I earlier scanned the car and this was what the scanner showed, I don’t know if it’s my constant use of AC these past few days that caused the battery to develop issue
There is a component inside the battery pack but they don't sell it alone,you have to change the total pack budget 300k or thereabouts

I have bleed the brake several time, even replace hydraulic fluid, yesterday i did another complete flash with a more expensive colored hydraulic fluid still didn’t work.could this be the abs?

Vibration and force feedback from pedal when brake is applied means you need new brake rotors.

Several people already suggested that. But that is a costly repair for now.

The ABS cable that was installed for is of inferior quality, remove the new ABS cable & replace with a tokunbo, even if it's the one that has to joined, the pulsating will stop

My 2008 honda accord (v4) jacks violently when my car changes gears. It does this also when about driving after few hours of parking.

I have changed engine seats, fuel pump and it's still the same. Though, the car moves well after the jack.

I also scanned (see attached) but still dunno what to do

What could be wrong ..kindly advise

Please who has O2 ṣensor wrench/socket in Lagos?

My honda crv has an a/f sensor error code and I've bought a replacement.

But the problem is mechanics here don't have the socket so it's hard to remove it from the engine.

And my fuel dey burn steady. Help somebody

Car is 2007 Honda Accord with V6.
Problem is rough 1-2 upshift. Every other shift is smooth as butter. No check engine or transmission error light on the instrument cluster.
Engine seat are not in best conditions.
Could the engine seat be the problem? Or is something wrong with the gearbox? Please I need help.

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. 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). 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

1. The steering assembly is faulty you will need to inspect find the culprit and fix

2. The compressor in the vehicle may be the manual type

3. If nah lagos plate you will pay for those years you didn't renew so put in mind to get a new plate in ur name.

Above all your mechanic should tell you cost to fix all the problems you see and advice you accordingly on a fair price to pay for the vehicle

Total coolant is okay, if you can afford the pink color better than the green color

there is an issue with your DC-DC not working properly on your dashboard do you notice any red battery light?get a multimeter confirm the 12v battery if it is charging properly.

I am having an issue with my charging system. My battery does go beyond 12.70 when car is on, thus I think the alternator is not charging the battery but when I put on Acc and head light , it begins to charge . The multimeter reads 13-14 but when I off the loads, it reduces to 12.6. Sometimes the car just don’t start again. What can be the issue pls. Rewire tested alternator to be okay and battery isn’t up to 1 year. Thanks

The orange coloured bottle with green color coolant has been in existence since ages. They made improvement by bringing out coolant HTX or something like that.

Buy the pink type one with white plastic container cause of the type of vehicle you drive.

Let the rewire test the alternator, it may have partial contact or not too good again

What car is this?
Newer cars don't dish out continuous 14v like older cars unless there's a demand for it (like your full beam and other power hungry accessories).
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by XPaul: 8:13pm On Oct 29, 2023
Hi all,

I use Honda Accord 2010 Euro. I have two issues I need assistance with from

1. I recently experienced an A/C issue. I took my car to the carwash and they did a full wash (including the engine). After the wash, my A/C does not get cool/cold like before. It just blows air.

2. I changed my gear on 19 October 2023. My transition is smooth. However, whenever I accelerate quickly and then come to a stop due to traffic or cars ahead slowing down, I experience difficult accelerate back until I change my gear to Reverse (it then jerks) and then change back to Drive (it jerks again). It is barely two weeks that I changed the gear completely and the mechanic said I should give it like two weeks. I have mentioned it to the mechanic that changed the gear but I want other opinion on what could be wrong.

Does anyone have any understanding of what I am experiencing in both situations.
