Bled it several times, also switched from red coolant to water, no luck, no coolant leaks. But when it's overheating, the reservoir is always full and as if it's boiling

Snap ur radiator cap.
R-18 rarely blows it's head gasket.

macuwon:
It crosses the middle, i also have a scanner, the temperature reads above 100 when overheating , from 103-120. I removed the thermostat just to see if it was clogged or bad.. But the overheating continued

Did you bleed the cooling system ?
Any coolant leaks ?

Good Morning, everyone.

I want to get a car in the next few weeks. However, I'm in a dilemma between getting the Toyota Camry, and the Honda Civic.

I am looking at the Toyota Muscle of 2010/11, or the Honda Civic 2012/13. My goal is to buy a proper foreign used, not Naija used.

I just need a good car that is very reliable, won't stress me at all, and something I can use for a long time without complications, and of course, something that doesn't consume too much fuel unnecessarily. But my emphasis is Reliability, ability to be easily repaired and spare parts availability.

Please I'd love to get your opinions.

Thanks everyone.

They are both reliable.
Ground clearance should be a deciding factor

Here’s the result, what does this mean and is it salvageable?

Check wiring from Transmission control module.
CVT is also stuck in sport mode.

You'll need a seasoned electrician.

Good day house. Please I need the input of Honda gurus and experts in the house before mechanics start using my car for trial and error.

The Car:

2011 Honda Civic Sedan (1.8L R18 Engine, Auto)

True mileage is over 230k miles (US auction car, had a front-end collision before it was imported late last year).

The Main Problem:
The car runs fine in the morning and at night with or without AC. But during the hot afternoon after continuous driving like 30 minutes or high revs with AC on, the temperature gauge starts rising dangerously high. If I turn off the AC, the temp drops back to normal.

What Has Already Been Done (The Diagnostics):

Cooling System Alterations: Mechanics have already removed the thermostat and wired the cooling fans directly. I have also had the radiator flushed. It is still overheating despite all of this.

Pressure Test: We did a cooling system pressure test, and it passed. Mechanics are now blindly suspecting a weak water pump or a warped head gasket, but there is absolutely zero evidence to back that up (no milky oil, no bubbling coolant).

Next i want to inspect the condenser for bent fins or blockage, but who knows who can patiently diagnose the entire cooling system to find the exact fault in lagos, not trial and error. These mechanics lack patience, they just guess the problem and ask you to buy a new part that wont solve the problem.

To what level ?
The temperature gauge is supposed to be @ 9 bars no matter the weather.
If you have removed the thermostat you will get varying temperature readings.

Will post pictures as soon as I can.

The OEM compressor I have isn't compatible.

TUBLEZ:
honestly I don’t even know 😃 and I try to check now I didn’t see it

Is your Accord from Honda place Nigeria( 2.0L engine) or from Honda America?

Biodun1929:
My AC man told me 100k. Another guy i asked said 70k. The thing is, i want to have like 200k before I go and replace it, cos I always find that once they start AC component replacement, they almost always find out that you have to replace some other components...I don't want them to remove compressor and then tell me even condenser and valve need replacement.

By the way, i drive a 2008 Honda Accord.

2.0L engine or 2.4L engine?

TUBLEZ:
honda accord 2012, the guy say btw 85-95K

Is your engine R-20 or K-24 ?
