Karatum:
1. Driving the car from PH to Onitsha, the battery drained at owerri without warning. Had to call someone to my rescue - by borrowing me the battery in his car. I don't know if this is alternator

2. The car started making some grinding noise from the engine and cannot even climb a speed bump if it wasn't speed up initially. The noise from the engine is terrible.

3. If you rev the throttle, the car dosent sound well. As if something is blocking the exhaust. It hums.

I don't even know where to start. All fluid levels are ok
The car is a 2008 Honda Accord.

How about the check engine light that is flashing what does the code say when you scanned it.

What kind of work Didi your mechanic do on the car recently

sultaan:
You drove someone's car without being familiar with it, you may have done something wrong if it was ok before. Make a call and ask if there was an existing issue

aldotun:
Have the exhaust removed and see if it moves, there maybe a catalyst blocked in the exhaust, trust me mine was like that for over 4 months before I discovered.

sultaan:


It come with engine noise so scanning first is the best option, worst case scenario is chain guides breaking.

When you said the person lives abroad, normally our people buy the cheapest car they can get away without ( not saying this the situation but will consider that option)

Scan first and Google the code.

Google the VIN number and if the last mileage is over 150000 be prepared for anything.

Donot let anyone touch your car with a screwdriver before you scan it and verify the codes.

Your problem could be as simple a a worn roller bearing

GAZZUZZ:


4 Cylinder or V6?


Problem should be isolated, take out the serpentine belt and start the car, if the rattling noise is still there it's coming from the engine.

Karatum:


Its 4cylinder sire.

Is serpentine belt same thing as fan belt?
