Ikenna351:Monk, you should care less about what they say or do. If your intention was to share how the conversion was done, please go ahead. I do not drive a Peugeot but I like some of your threads. We are all different people who do things differently. You cannot expect everyone to agree with you all the time. Ignore those who don't agree with you and hearken to those who share your aspiration.

| Car Talk › Re: What Could Be Done As My 2004 Honda CR-V Burns Oil At 255k Miles?. by 9icetoo(m): 5:20pm On Jun 15, 2020 |
Martiny:Black soot on the exhaust is not a confirmation that it's burning oil. It may be from incomplete fuel consumption. Secondly, you have not ruled out external leaks. Lastly, how many liters of oil does this engine burn between oil changes? Less than a liter isn't a very good reason to swap engines depending on the cost of the whole exercise. Start with the easier things first. Wash your engine and undercarriage thoroughly. Look for external leaks. Look for oil stains where you park. Clean or change your pcv. It's up to you to decide whether to ring the engine or source Tokunbo replacement depending on the mechanic expertise around you. I'd ring the engine though. |
| Car Talk › Re: Please Help It's My Fuel Consumption Okay by 9icetoo(m): 9:49am On Jun 13, 2020 |
veecent:The consumption doesn't increase after the half way mark. It is the way the gauge is designed. It isn't symmetrical. 6km/liter isn't outrageous. Maybe you have a heavy foot, maybe you idle a lot(with the AC on, that can be tempting), maybe you've got a brake that is binding, maybe you drive ridiculously short distances eg 3 kilometers per trip. With this sort of short distances, your car never really gets to warm up and drive at its efficient temp. The only way to know if your car is healthy is to fill up, take it to a highway and drive for about fifty kilometers. Fill up again and check how many liters it took to cover that 50kms. If you get anything above 12km/liter, then your car is fine. One last thing, what's the state of your transmission? Does it shift smoothly all the time? |

| Car Talk › Re: Audi S8 2007 by 9icetoo(m): 10:06am On May 31, 2020 |
If the Porsche cayenne will announce your arrival, the Audi S6 or S8 will do same. Unless na poor people u dey roll with. Both Audi's are "in your face". There is no way your circle will mistake the A4 for s6 or s8. Audi's are essentially Volkswagen's. Same issues. If you found the A4 a bit of a challenge to maintain, the S8 will dig a hole for you. I can't advise you on any car to choose. Buy what you like. Since you already have a fairly capable hand who has cut his teeth on the a4, the s8 shouldn't be too difficult for him to maintain as well but you will be much more patient for jobs to be performed on the s8 while you use the a4 as your backup car. |

nurey:Lol. Car has since been sold. Glow plug relay wiring got shorted out. Diagnosis from electrician was that the whole fuse box needed to be changed. Getting the fuse box was a challenge. Relay was connected direct and problems still persisted. I park vehicle begin drive the mdx. No Time. Car was sold last year. New owner removed the engine and put in a petrol engine. Turned out cylinders were a bit scoured which leads me to believe the cylinders had low compression. The glow plug tips were also burnt out which may have contributed to the scouring as the tips fell into the engine. Sad end to a much loved car. |

calabaman:I can't confirm what OEM looks like. Never bought one before. But it won't be cheap. I suggest you look up luvvinhubby on Nairaland. He sells Honda parts and should be able to guide you on that. As per the gear lever being stuck in park, check your brake switch, confirm your battery still has enough juice. If the two above are correct, try inserting something in the slot beside the gear. That should free up the gear. Then check your transmission range switch. Your mechanic should be able to get the car out of park though. He will know all I mentioned above. Naija used cars are hit and miss. Often miss. 3 Likes |

Which of the catalyst is missing? The one on the manifold on the engine or the one under the car? Your misfire is most likely the cause of the high fuel consumption. And if you say it consumes fuel, what's your kilometer per litre? Make u no go use corolla or micra consumption dey measure accord DC consumption. Use Tokunbo mounts as has been advised Unless you can afford OEM. 1 Like |
