haykay2005:
Pls,

I recently bought a 2006 Honda Civic, and one of the first things I noticed is that the fan is connected directly. My scan result also shows two codes — P2413 and P2185. I usually scan my car and tell my mechanic what to fix based on the codes generated, and that approach has been working for me.

Now, he agrees with me on the first code, which relates to the EGR, but he doesn’t want to return the fan to its factory setting. I’d rather have that done elsewhere.

I need a good mechanic around the Ogba/Abule Egba axis who can sort this out for me. I don’t want to argue with this Azeem. I understand gassuz doesn’t like working on this car.

The fuel consumption is high. I used 17 litres of fuel from challenge ibadan to abule Egba, and my calculation is around 17mpg. Around 75 miles journey 90% highway.
There's a reason the previous owner altered the wiring of the cooling system.
Look deeply .

Good day Nairalanders,

Please as I wanted to go out this morning, as my morning routine check on my car, I noticed there is shortage of coolant in the reservoir. I had to refill, #(though it did not take up to half of the bottle water).#

No sign of leakage, is it suppose to be so?

The car is 2012 corolla.

I will be waiting for the professional to advise.
If you have coolant in your system, always refill with coolant.
Except it's an emergency.

Back to your question, You can check the coolant hose connections, radiator and it's cap for leaks which will appear as the color of the coolant.


I'm assuming your Colling system meets manufacturers standards.

I'll be on the search for Tokunbo belt then. Also, the Allen key bolt holding the adjuster, can you recommend a seller I can buy from as I intend changing the bolt. I'm in Oyo town.

Thank you.
The bolt is available in ladipo/Oyingbo, Lagos.
Max 2k.

It should be cheaper to buy from your location.

Cheers

There are hybrid cars abound in Nigeria.
In my opinion, hybrid cars are becoming obsolete since Nigerians started accepting EVs

I've changed 2 Tokunbo this year already and that rattle noise has started again. I'll keep managing till I'm able to import or get someone do it for me.

As regards the belt, I've been connected to dealers in Lagos, they just don't come cheap.

Thank you.
Nothing is wrong with your present tensioner/adjuster if it's "that rattle noise".
Your current belt is stretched out.
You'll need a 2160 or 2165 belt.

I'm in Lagos, and I repeat there's no OEM 7pk 2170 belt. Even tokunbo is scarce.


I'm assuming you haven't distorted your belt/pulley arrangement.

I need price quote for the following Honda parts.

1. New Tensioner Adjuster not Toks
2. New 7pk2170 Drive belt.
3. Toks Automatic AC Compressor.

Car is Honda Civic 2007.

Thanks you!
Let me answer you.
1. Do not buy new tensioner adjuster unless it's coming from US/Japan. Tokunbo is still better.

2. There's currently no OEM 7PK 2170 belt in Nigeria. Make do with used/tokunbo belt until you can import yourself from US/Japan.

3. Compressor should cost about 50k
