He’s wrong, something is wrong with that car. You need a competent technician to diagnose and fix it.

If the engine has a crack, it’s time to get another engine.
Good morning bro. Please I drove my friend's Honda Civic and entered a big gallop. Immediately, the car stops.
I discovered that the alternator belt has removed. I managed to drive it to a mechanic workshop and got it fixed.
On my way home I noticed that the water in the reserved water container was boiling seriously.
I stopped the car and allowed the engine to cool.
Once the engine cool I started the car and it was not accelerating well. I opened the bonnet and realized that the alternator belt has removed again.
This morning as I wanted to check the oil Guage, I discovered that the dipstick has melted.

Please what's the way forward.

Drain and refill with Mobil or Total 5W20

I've done that, the next when I started the engine I noticed the smoke didn't come out but 2days later the smoke started coming out every morning.

I use a Mitsubishi Outlander 2019 model.

Once at 80km/hr and above, it makes an unusual "humm' humm" sound. Just did major service. All oils chnaged. Changed all tires and did alignment. Sound is still there. I now suspect wheel bearing.

What do u think guys ??

Was the water pump pulley bypassed?
Check also that the radiator wasn’t damaged or water pipe wasn’t damaged

please who has idea about AC, my car is a Peugeot 607 e12 engine, I was on the island one time entered a pothole at night and while still driving my ac stopped cooling,

I discovered the clutch plate has stopped rotating the compressor so I went to an ac tech and replaced it, the replacement worked for a month and same issue occured,

I replaced it with another tech, this time it wasn't cooling like before,
after 2weeks it stopped cooling, there is gas in the system, the clutch is still working, but the ac dose nt cool,

I want to seek opinion could it be expansion valve or the compressor is damaged

The car has been fixed.
The issues were:
1. Two Coils were bad
2. All the four plugs were bad
3. The bolt that tightens the steering pump wasn't there.

Thanks bro.

Please is it true that Honda cars requires yearly programming?

Because I'm told the car needs to be reprogrammed

You’re supposed to leave it in D.
Also, for the rpm you need to clean the throttle body, test the IACV and check for vacuum leaks.

I believe there air in your cooling system or you didn't bleed properly.
Switch to coolant, check radiator cap, fill radiator and leave it open, start the car and let the radiator fan come on twice you top up and closed the radiator. And you should be good except there's a hidden leak.
