Car Talk / Re: 2012 Honda Accord P0011 Is Killing Me by AutoManual: 5:15am On Aug 24, 2023
This is the same thing that happened to my accord.

First my mechanic said its oil pump. Thereafter he said its the valve. My engine was open for the very first time after he finished car started smoking heavily but the sound stop.

When I buy a new toks. If the engine needs to be open i will just sell the car like that. When Nigeria mechanic open your engine they mess with alot of things. They will tell you it doesn’t mean ouibo just put it there. if you watch oyibo autos you will see the how detail and precession they accurately make sure it look out.

Reason for paper gaskets is because the engine will lose 100% seal fitness.

Family / Re: Why Do People Do This After The Death Of Their Parents? by AutoManual: 4:49pm On Aug 07, 2023
Nigeria is a poor country. Those big perty you are seeing is not as a result of wealth. But loans as they believe its one day thing. You don’t expect them to burial the dead like rat. Even people will curse them. So they go out of there way to do it and that one of the bad culture we have.

Its not only the dead. If the president of the country or your pastor is to pay you visit. Believe me you will go out of ur way ti fix your house in order to look good and entertaining . That’s simple

Politics / The Downfall Of Tinubu Policy by AutoManual: 12:24am On Aug 07, 2023

The downfall of tinubu policy is nothing but fuel subsidy. The subsidy removal of a thing will destroy and consume this administration.

We are already heading for a recession. There is nothing wrong with floating the naira and there is nothing wrong with unifying the naira. But everything is wrong with the subsidy removal.

Lastly Nigerians are going through alot at the moment and niger should be the least of our problem. Buhari already wasted billions on Niger with bo benefits to us here. France has been in that country for more than 60 years now and nothing to show for it. The interest of the western world should be the least of our concern at this moment.

Tinubu should find a way to revert back to the old pump price or at least something close. Because in the next one year they might be a revort. Landlord in my zones have added nothing less than 100k to their yearly rent. My woman friend rent was increased from 500k to 650k. My own rent was added with 50k. A full tank of 17k car moved to 55k.

My woman friend just relocated from 3 bedroom flat to something smaller. What a shame and she might end up not using a car again.

I felt bad because we didn’t vote tinubu in the last general election. And the subsidy is not the way to go. Tinubu is talking about the poor of the poor. But in real sense the policy affect the middle class the more. It doesn’t affect the poor of the poor unlike the average and middle class. Giving to the poor of the poor to cushion the subsidy will not help the economy at all because the middle class runs the economy. And anything that affect them affect the economy in totality.

still rocking it. I changed the vtec rubber seal causing the oil leakage. Replaced the air filter & the black smoke stopped.

Air filter cannot cause smoking. Was the smoke blue or black? Can i see picture of vtec rubber seal ?

What you your mpg like?

How is ur fuel economy like? Mine doesn’t have catalyst I don’t don’t believe buying a Chinese one will make a difference. I don’t even know of welding a pipe or net to ask as catalyst will work. But instead i need something economical and smaller because 618 per litters is no longer a joke. Even the 618 doesn’t complete a litter.

Food / Re: Obsessed With Hollandia Yoghurt by AutoManual: 5:52pm On Jul 26, 2023
nedekid:
Good you have reduced or stopped beer.
Beer is not good for your kidneys. It is also high in purines which cause high uric acid and gout. Also elevated urea in the blood.
Yogurt is good, but as usual, taken in excess is another matter. I hear it is good for your kidneys as it gives the opposite effects of beer. Also good for metabolism.
I dont even know if the Hollander one is natural or heavily sweetened. If it also contains saturated fat.
Anyway, the best thing you can do for yourself is have the habit of drinking water rather. Have packs of bottle water at home. As for me, I even keep a pack in my booth. I drink minimum of 6 bottles daily. Just try it.
I assure you, after 1 month, you will thank me. Even you skin texture and color will change.
Also op. Reduce your meat intake. Take more of fish and chicken.
do you mean sachets water is not good?

Family / Women That Gather Everyday On The Street To Tori. What Are They Talking? by AutoManual: 5:33am On May 12, 2023
I was just wondering. Everyday as early as 8 - 9 o'clock when people are leaving the house. You will see them always gathering on the street especially where they sell petty things, they will talk and talk and their hand demonstrating. 100% of them housewives or some trading petty business on the same street. The gathering shift from place to place. Like if one or two see the others discussing they will go join them there discussing for hours.

Majority people in the area and passerby.

When you are passing in the morning you will see them. And when you are returning in the afternoon, evening or even in the night you will still see them.

What and who are they discussing? I tried as much as possible avoid passing them But the problem is we only have one routes to come out to main road. The other route is long journey.

Good evening House.
Can someone please recommend a "Good quality" oil filter for my Honda Odyssey 2001?

The ones I saw yesterday(Honda brand) in the market are sold for just 1k and I know it's not original so I didn't buy.

I need to service my car ASAP!
my mechanic told me 1k and original 1.5k.

i gave him 1.5k for the original. but i doubt if he buy the original, next time i will be the oil filter myself just because i don't know the exact one so i don't want to make mistakes.

The first picture below is where the EVAP Purge valve is...it is the thing connected to the red hose.. Yours might not be a red hose tho...sha get the point


The 2nd picture shows where the red hose connects to the engine.. You can either choose to block off the hose at this engine point, or like I did, remove the red hose from that valve, chook nylon inside to sufficiently block it, and then reconnect it to the valve for appearance purposes grin


My own accord has a 3.2litre Acura engine and gearbox tho. But the location of the purge valve is similar to that of the normal eod v6 engine.. In any case, the valve has a label on it, so it shouldn't be hard for you to find
one question. Where does the air goes after blocking that line. Because it will make fuel tank to expand. I have read only that the line shouldn’t be completely black if the evap should be deleted the lining should go somewhere.

Just another day in the life of Automanual.

OP is blaming mechanics he found under a tree in an empty plot of land.

Somewhere in Enugu metropolis, there are seasoned workshops (known to be expensive) who can do the job and are better equipped to solve OP's problem.

However, OP would rather patronize quacks and turn around to blame a whole town (Enugu) for not having mechanics.

Chukel, mejai and other nairalanders who live in Enugu must be servicing their cars in Abuja and Port Harcourt when their vehicles develop fault.
Enugu has quacks all over the town, yet to find any professional mechanic that knows it onions like Lagos and other states. Even major markets like camp. You will find 80% of People who don't believe in thermostat claiming the country weather is hot. Try and error. You hardly find one using computer or scan tool.

At least there would have been a reputable mechanic from Enugu in nairaland like Lagos.
