Please what are the pros and cons of Honda Accord 2011 model v6 engine I planned getting a Nigeria used. But our local mechanic are telling me to avoid v6 engine because of fueling, expensive spare part and low resale value

I personally drive an accord 2007 v6 and it's awesome. The fuel consumption is very ok and the maintenance is ok. In this part of the world honda v6 particularly has low resale value because it's a honda with a v6 engine. That car is very powerful, balanced, fast and doesn't vibrate due to AC load. If you are in Lagos and you wish to use the car everyday to and fro your office then it may not make economic sense because of the traffic here however I'll reiterate the fuel consumption isn't that bad. I use to own a 4 cylinder eod and since I switched to the v6 I really don't notice much difference. Just make sure you get a good unit with complete catalytic converters. Inspect the timing belt. Make sure it's not abused

zotorux:

Thanks boss. I’ve dropped it with a mechanic now tho.
They’re talking about transmission fluid change. Any good one to recommend? It’s an Accord 08

Get the recommended dw1 fluid from @luvinhubby

Snrman1:

Please how much is 2009 Honda Ridgeline steering rack, new or tokunbor?

Fix your rack and continue having peace of mind. Don't just meet anyhow person. Let a professional fixer handle it. Ask for a warranty if you must. For the first 2 months use oando at for for the steering just for test proposes. If it passed, kindly get the original Honda power steering fluid

Millyyyyy:
Good morning everyone. Some few days ago my Honda crv started making this very loud noise from the engine bay. Immediately I start the car, the noise will start very loudly, but once I put it in gear, D, it will instantly reduce like almost disappear, but starts again when I press the throttle. Since the noise started I noticed the engine performance has reduced, the gear change struggle to change from gear 1-2-3-4 and the car doesn’t move as fast

What could be happening? Want to send it to the mech but also have an idea what’s happening so they
won’t play me.

Please help

If the check engine light is on then please scan and share the results

agoodman:


I don't change it twice a year because the maintenance light always comes on every 3000miles and i don't like driving it like that when the maintenance light comes on.

Synthetic oils can go longer . Use miles to measure instead. You can do 5k safely so long as the oil is original. Make sure it's fully synthetic from top brands . Biko don't buy the cheap stuff then run it for too long ooo

bobkezel:

Can this scanner be used to scan old models?

Yes it can. Cars from 1996 till date are compatible

spininaroundsun:


Thanks bro. you just saved a soul!

Kindly assist with the followings:

1. Any Idea where can I get the original "Honda ATF DW1" and cost in Lagos.
2. Alternative ATF that is also good that I can buy - car is EOD, 4 cyl.

Apologies for the troubles.

Get the original dw1 from luvinhubby. You can tag him as he is in this group. Also I won't advice anything else but the original

WycliffeSMB:

Okay Sir...

Pls what's the difference between Full Synthetic and Synthetic Blend?

Synthetic blend is a mixture of conventional oil with fully synthetic while fully synthetic stands tall. Fully synthetic is best in every way and doesn't cause sludge build up like conventional. Fully synthetic can be driven for longer miles compared to semi synthetic while semi synthetic beats conventional. It all depends on your pocket cos semi synthetic still gets the job done and it's pocket friendly. In reality I have used both and they are awesome though I'd never advice anyone to use conventional oil. Fully synthetic and semi synthetic is the way to go.

Please I just noticed some water sloshing sounds on my accord 2005 when I brake or accelerate. I had my air conditioner on all day because it was raining and the sound was consistent anytime I brake. I checked my trunk and all around the car and inside the carpets and they're all dry. I thought it was from my fuel tank but my tank was over half tank. What could be making this sound?

Any advice or suggestions are welcome. Thank you

Take your time to listen to it so that you can better pin point the source of the sound. Right now we aren't sure if it's at the front or back, left or right.

WycliffeSMB:


It's a new car I got recently...Naija-used.
I don't know much

Buy Mobil 2000 5w30 from any Mobil fuel station. Drive it for 2k miles or slightly more. Check for ouk shortages weekly or daily depending on your paranoia also monitor for leaks since it's a used vehicle. If everything is cool then you can get a more expensive fully synthetic or semi synthetic oil. Note Mobil 2000 5w30 is also semi synthetic and very good. Oh , Castrol, Mobil 1, liqui moly, Pennzoil, supertech, shell rotella, royal purple, valvoline. The listed are world renowned so you can't go wrong with any so long as you get it from a reliable source.

Good morning House...
My car Headlights Look dull and I want them to appear almost-brand new.

Should I take it to the mechanic village where I can find those specialized in washing it, OR to an Auto Spray painter workshop?

Which of these can I achieve best results?

There are professional that can make the headlights as clear as possible. If the headlights exterior is brown, any car painter that knows his onions can make it clear however if it's dull but in and out,there are ppl that can make it clear

Toylove:
Hello anyone who can
My Honda accord 07 RPM is on the high side when idling, it goes between 1500-2000. I want to take it to the mechanic this morning, Please what should o yell him to check.

I'd guess the throttle body needs servicing or replacing but then again I always advise that the cars be scanned first. Rpm surge can be caused by a number of things but if it's me I'd service my throttle body first

CjEmmar:


The car doesn't shift from 2-3 with ease, it delays before shifting to hear 3, and this morning the D light was blinking and after I noticed it, I parked, waited for like 5mins, and restart the car and it stopped, I recently changed the gear oil and I use the Honda recommend oil

Scan your car and post the codes. Avoid driving it till you do

CjEmmar:
The gurus in the house Please help me out with this before it gets out of proportion.
The car is Honda Accord 2004, 4 plug

What's wrong with you vehicle

cmoney22222:
LIQUI MOLY Oil

It's your choice however liqui moly is too high end to be replaced every 3 months. This is what I do. If I buy a fully synthetic fluid that says 10k miles for example, I divide that value by two meaning I'll change my oil at 4000 or 5000 miles although I don't know how often you drive but I personally barely drive and I serviced my car since December 2021 and till now I'm yet to service my car cos IV only done 1600 miles and my oil is original supertech fully synthetic fluid. My advice is if you have a good grade oil like liqui moly , you can safely do 4k or even more miles without having to spend so much. But ultimately it's your choice. Always ensure you get a quality oil filter if you are the type that uses fluids for longer miles

quam9997:



However, as I’m about to service my mechanic noticed a engine oil leakage and claims that the rubber around the place for the engine isn’t there hence why the leakage occurred. Then also my AC compressor is giving a weird sound and he said that’s bearing.

However I’ve scanned the car recently and it was clear.

Who has any idea what this is before I tell him to proceed to fixing.

Thank you

Can you take a picture of the area?

quam9997:


That’s what I thought of too but I now realized that when I went to service it at Honda place they used SN 5W30.

Is it safe or can I still use that or I need to use the 0w20 back

5w30 though it isn't the recommend grade , it's not too far off so you can use it comfortably anytime you can't find 0w20. Basically you can use 5w30, 5w20, 0w30 but most preferably 0w20. In the future if you can't find 0w20, please look for 5w20 next then 0w30 then maximum 5w30 in this order . If you are in Lagos you can call 0703 166 2339 for your semi synthetic or fully synthetic fluid. He also does doorstep delivery

quam9997:
Morning house .. please what’s the recommended oil and oil filter for 2013 Honda Accord and where I can get it please.

It uses 0w20 oil. Just get any original 0w20 engine oil. You can reach out to luvinhubby too

accelion:


Good morning. Thanks for this information. I will ask my mechanic to check the spider bearing and see if that fixes the issue.

The noise is really giving me concern. Where is the “small boy” located? Do you mind sharing his details? I live around Ikeja environs in Lagos.

Thanks.

Well if all fails then you can try my mechanic at Ejigbo Lagos. He is really good luckily Ikeja isn't distant from ejigbo. You can call him at 08029741950 Aliu

YourHighTension:


here are the error codes..
1. TP Sensor (A) Voltage Low
2. HO2S (A/F Sensor) S1 AFS Line Voltage High
3. Baro Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Problem
4. Rocker Arm Oil Pressure Switch (A) Circuit Low Voltage
Please what does this mean?

Mechanic says he needs to change sensor/switch which he says costs 15k and another 10k for workmanship

Now the issue you are experiencing is caused by the rocker arm sensor. Tell your mechanic to service it and ensure that the wires have no issues. If he does it and you test it, it should be rectified however if it continues then you need to replace it. Whenever the Rocker arm sensor fails you won't be able to over rev it will hook at 2k or max 3k rpm . If you force the rpm, the car will jerk as if you have gear problem but trust me your gear is fine.

You also need to meet a good qualified mechanic to find out what's wrong with your other sensors cos your car isn't performing optimally

accelion:
Thanks for the response, Conner44.

Do you have a check engine light?

No, I don't. I have also comprehensively scanned the engine and the gear, and both came out clear.

Break Caliper and wheel bearings?

They have both been checked repeatedly without any issues.

The mechanic I met here checked and said it had to do with the gear, as I guessed and thats the scary part.

Do not touch the gear box so long as you have no check engine light

belloabd1914:


Let’s link up tomorrow, So that I can get the scanner… u can send me ur contact for easy access.

I’ve been driving the car like that o! That’s the only I’ve got.

You can reach me on 08124145301

kingreign:

I’m not in Lagos and I don’t know where 7&8 is, but have a competent technician check that car.

.

I stay at Ejigbo which is close to 7&8 and I sell scan tools for 5k. Avoid driving the car till you scan and get it fixed and I hope and pray that you have been using Toyota's recommend transmission fluid. Though this issue can be caused by anything

Brightexeva:
Hi guys. I got a tokumbo rx 350 2008 2gr engine. Since I bought my car. The car short oil at least one quarts for the first 3000 miles. What could be the cause of this oil shortage. I have not seen noticeable oil leaks . What should I do . And what could be the cause of this. If anyone had such experience. Please share with me what you did to stop it. Thanks in anticipation. Just afraid of mechanics

Well so long as you are using the correct specified oil and you really are noticing leaks please fix it. The leak may seam little but allow a competent mechanic to determine that because the specified oil will leak out easily due to its lightness and the engine will dry out the ones that leaked giving you a facade as though it isn't much but since it's 1 quart every 3k miles which actually isn't too bad and you don't want a quack to end your cars life then you can top it every 3k miles . Jus ensure you check your oil level every week or biweekly.

YourHighTension:
Good evening gurus in the house, pls my car delays to pick up speed when I accelerate. Like delays to go into gear. And when it eventually picks I can't go beyond a certain speed as it begins to jerk seriously. It's as if it can't go into the next gear, so I can't speed up. I result to going at that particular speed. Pls what can be a possible cause?

Scan your vehicle if it has the check engine light on. When you get the code please snap it or share the accurate codes here for assistance

petrusevents:
Last week I change my fuel pump, change one of the six plug and also did service the car.
Den why driving yesterday I discover it was driving roughly and I did scan the car this morning.
And all this code pop up.
Pls what is the solutions to it.

Guru in the house pls help.

Well anyone in the house can correct me if I am wrong but I'd suspect your fuel pump first because it's rare for all cylinders to misfire at the same time. Try clearing your check engine light then drive around..if the code reappears then scan again just to be double sure

Joythah:
Good evening
Please I have a Honda Accord 2005. Recently, I had cause to change my engine. Since then, the vehicle jerks when the rev gets to 3.
My Mechanic directed me to an Electrician who wants me to pay to scan saying It's an electrical fault.
Pls I would appreciate if anyone here has any ideas as to the cause and solution

I'm sure your check engine light is on please scan your vehicle however if your car can not rev past 3k rpm on motion just know that your VTEC solenoid which is usually located behind the engine is dirty, damaged or have wiring issue. Basically it's the VTEC solenoid but scan the car regardless

agoodman:
Hi guys

I drive a 2008 Honda Accord and I've been seeing a check fuel cap notice on the dashboard for months now. It comes on anytime and I don't know what to do to solve this. Has anyone had the same problem and what did they do to solve it?

Did you have your fuel pump assembly or fuel gauge replaced in the past?

House please what is the recommended coolant for Honda city 2007

Visit any total fuel station and buy the green coloured coolant. Alternatively you can buy Honda's OEM coolant from luvinhubby
