Hello house

I scanned my 2007 Honda Accord today and the following codes got pulled

P2185
P0335
P0141
P1157
P2163
13-01
71-01

I was told I'll replace Engine coolant temperature sensor, Crankshaft position sensor, both oxygen sensors, ABS and Electronic Steering Sensors.

Please advice on costs and approach to repairs. Thank you

Driving conditions?
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by DreCharles(m): 7:16am On Nov 03, 2021
GAZZUZZ:


Driving conditions?

It's having difficulty climbing hills and has increased fuel consumption.

It can't be raised above 3000 rpm on idle. It'll be howling sort of..

Your car is in limp mode. It’s crazy that all those sensors are having issues at the same time. Get an electrician to test them one by one and also check for continuity of their wires to the ecu before changing them.

Good evening house,
My Toyota Matrix gear delay before changing when driving that mostly it’s difficult to accelerate and makes a lot of noise when forcing to do so. My mechanic says It’s not the gear since it changes but the wiring.
How true is this pls

its not a bad ride but be wary of fragile gearbox,Ac issues and frequent changing of shocks.If you have good maintainance culture you can go for it

Change your transmission fluid it’s overheating

I had a discussion with someone about transmission oil change & he mentioned something that i felt i should bring here for knowledge sharing.

He said what most mechanic do wen changing transmission oil is to drain & probably loosen out d filter, clean with petrol, install back & refill with new oil.

He then mentioned that even wen u thought u had drained d entire oil, d torque converter still contains d old oil up to 4litres, that in d end, d old oil in d torque converter mixes with d new oil & it will appear you haven't done any oil change at all.

That there's a procedure for evacuating oil from d torque converter that most mechanic don't know.

How true is this my people, @gazzuz & other automobile veterans here.

There is. You will need about 3times the regular quantity of oil to do it properly

Wao! Thanks GAZZUZZ.

THAT means no harm to d transmission in d long run if it's done d regular way without draining completely from d torque converter?

Yes absolutely no harm done if you do it by draining it three times one after the other while driving it a few kilometers between drains.

It’ll only cost you three times the fluid capacity and time.

There is a good and cheaper alternative though. It’s called a flush. Instead of using 9 quarts of oil you could use only 5 and you’d get even the oil in the torque converter out too. Cheap easy and effective

The issue with a flush is that if you don’t know what you’re doing you might buy another gearbox
