This is the time to overhaul your car If you must travel with it for Christmas holidays. Then drive it to ensure it is in good condition before travelling with it


1) Flush your radiator water and add Radiator coolant to avoid overheating
2) Inspect your Camber Bushing and stabilizer bushings at the front, they determine the stability of your steering.
3) Flush your break fluid and ensure your break Master and Servo are in good condition for active breaking system, use manufacturer recommended brake fluids
4) Ensure that your tyres have not expired. From the manufacturers date, you shall see 0216, this means 02nd month of 2016. Tyres expires after 4yrs.
5) Any time you enter porthole and your car seems to loose balance then your shock absorber is most likely bad. If there is Oil around your shock, its likely to have gone bad. Or If it does not come out slowly, then it needs replacement.
6, Change brake pad and linnings with known brands
7) When on speed and your Bonnet seems to vibrate, then you need to do wheel alignment but if the steering shakes, then you need wheel balancing.
8, If your car is miss firing then do the following:
a, Replace your Fuel pump filter
b, Service your injectors, nozzles and change spark plugs
9) When driving and suddenly you notice that your steering has gone one side, it's a sign that one of your back tyres is too low.
10) Finally, as you drive and you notice your automatic gear does not change very easily. Then you need to service your gearbox or replace the gearbox oil with the right specification.
It is written on the dipstick.
11, Replace your engine oil and filter with good grade synthetic or semi-synthetic, manufacturer own is best option

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by sureboykris(m): 6:35am On Nov 26, 2020
Good morning.

I saw a car scanner on Ali express and out of curiosity I bought it.

Used it on my vehicle and it produced a code P2413 Exhaust system recirculation performance.


I strongly doubt the quality of the scanner cause I expected more codes to show (I'm a huge novice though). My check light, caution light, VTM4-VSA light, ABS light and TPMS are all on.

Please what's the implication of this code?
Can I trust the scanner?
What do I need to work on?

I've taken the car to be scanned by an "expert" in the past and he said he'll clear everything and after wasting my time, the lights are still there.

I'm still searching for another "expert"

Thank you

If you don't fix the underlying problem the light even if wiped off will come back on. Your scanner might be the cheap ones that only scans engine codes and even some engine codes can make multiple lights come on. Try fixing the code you found ist before looking for other problems

A severed ABS sensor or module is responsible for the Vtm-4 & abs light.

The last vulcanizer that repaired your tyres may damaged your tyres pressure sensor

For p0420...if your o
02 sensors are confirmed OK.. It means your catalyst is almost gone.. Contact gazzuzz to order for the 02 sensor spacer that has mini catalyst in it... It will clear that code.

As for your idle air.. I think your iacv might be the culprit.. Not sure shaaa.. Let the experts comment on this

Good day everyone,

Kindly assist..... My 2008 Honda Civic ABS light goes on and off

When it’s OFF, I feel vibration on the brake pedal when I match brake
When it’s ON I don’t feel the vibration when I match the brake

Below is the scan report

4 Antilock Braking System Codes:

11 Wheel Speed Sensor circuit failure or signal rationality: Front right failure
13 Wheel Speed Sensor circuit failure or signal rationality: Front left failure
21 Pulser and Sensor failure: Front Right incorrect signal
61 Power supply voltage failure information: Low or High Voltage

Kindly advice

Erm... I normally use Oando synthetic motor oil for my Honda Accord 2008. But recently I looked for it and couldn't get it so I opted for Total quartz 7000 synthetic oil. Please from the pros in the house... Did I make the right choice?

Good afternoon house, I have Honda baby boy, i notice it jerks whenever it changes from gear 2 to 3. The oil has been changed and the sensor serviced but it still does the same thing.
Please what could be the cause?
