Olisa4all:
2006 Honda Accord Ex-L V6 with Dual Zone Climate Control.
1st,The air from passenger side vents is colder than that of the driver side vents.
2ndly, the vents on the far left and right for both driver and passenger hardly blows any air out unless I increase the fan speed to the 4th or 5th speed.
Any resolutions

1st issue: Assuming you are having this issue with the driver's side climate control temperature set for its coldest (thick blue), you are LOW on refrigerant. Recharging your a/c system with good refrigerant will solve that.

2nd issue: Your cabin air filter must be very dirty. Replace it and you'll get much better air flow and colder too.

Cheers!


A happy and blessed 2017 to all smiley


Cabin air filter was the 1st thing I checked, it still looked like it's in good condition but I'll change that to be 100% sure.
Then I'll take it to the Ac guys to add "gas" grin
Thanks alot.

Sorry to ask this please; Are you sure you are using or you got the genuine Mobil 1? I had similar experience with my 06 Honda Accord EX having oil shortage with no leaks and no smoke from exhaust using Total Quartz 5000 (20W50) twice this year and was told that my engine is spent and not to use the recommended oil of 5w20. I went ahead later in August to use milemaster(not advertising please) 5w20 and I have covered 4000+ kms with no single drop in oil level till date with 30% oil life left.
My advice is to possibly double check on your source of getting the oil, it might not be entirely a case of engine spent.
Thanks to everyone in this forum for continuous support

How much is the transmission switch for pilot 2010.
How much is the crankshaft position sensor for pilot 2010.
And how much is the aluminium lower arm of pilot 2010.

Is overhauling an engine the same thing as buying half engine? Mine just smokes occasionally

Overhauling engines with genuine parts appear to be the only option now as the harsh economic climate have severely reduced the quantity of direct fairly used engines in the market, so many are refurbished engines put up for sale.

Am not recommending the oil as a better product please, I haven't tried Mobil 1 before but I have heard so many great reports about it. Hence, my asking you to verify that you got the right one.
If it's the right one, have your Mechanic confirm no leakage anywhere. If there's no leakage anywhere as you said earlier "no traces of leakage", I do be looking at engine oil that will work if am in your shoes.
"But the pros in the house may be right."

Good morning. I have a 2012 Honda accord i4. During Christmas travel, I had to change fuel pump more than 3 times and after each change, when the car is driven for like 30 minutes, it will start jerking and would not cross 60km speed. I am tired of changing fuel pumps and would want to know if there is a special fuel pump for this accord? I attach below some pumps that I changed recently.

Kindly help.

Stop replacing the pump, replace the pump plus Case.

Scan your car if there are codes. Might not be the fuel pump and your car is entering limp mode

Good day Gazzuzz,

I drive a 2007 Honda Accord V6. When driving on a smooth road, I hear a faint rattling sound each time I push the Throttle pedal especially at low speeds but it goes away as soon as I take my foot off. What should I do please?

Get your car scanned first. it might not be fuel pump. i have similar issue with my Honda CRV, after scanning it and discovered it was oil switch sensor problem. you can easy get a Bluetooth auto scanner for yourself at average price of N5000
