FlyboyZee: Please, do you have a problem with me advising the OP and all other car owners to stick to the manufacturer's recommendations? I don't get it. What's your point again?
take tyme to read ur previous post n relate it to what i wrote.u will see.
doroboss: Disconfused man! You say one thing then you say another, thank God you are not a dr. Hope you have stopped pouring z1 into cvt transmissions?
It is a shame u av a comprehension problem.Told u that u r too level to understand.I knw u av a rough day.Take a rest n read what u quoted again.
DuchessLily: I bought the Z1 transmission oil for my honda city based on dislomans recommendations on a thread, I came back next night to see it was not designed for my vehicle. Please disloman stop causing confusion in cartalk.
Meanwhile I have 6cans of Z1 transmission oil(thanks to disloman) for sale if any one is interested.
Z1 in 6cans?lolxxxxxxxxx.Can u upload d Z1 4 us to see n ao much did u wanna sell d cans?lolxxxxxxxx.where were u told Z1 is not ideal 4 ur honda city?Go to Honda Place Apapa n make enquiry not all those blogs trained mech.Honda city is a japanese car.lolxxxxxxxxx.
FlyboyZee: My bad! I never knew its wrong to stick to manufacturer's recommendations.
Pls,can u do us a favour?go n read d manual n comprehend what was written b4 u comment.Maintenance light gat nothing to do with d type of engine oil u use.just to indicate ur car will need to b service.period.
GAZZUZZ: I do not totaly agree with you, the light is designed to light up after the car has covered a certain maieage, if you like pour palm oil inside ur crank case the light will only come up when you have covered that distance.
not when it covered a certain distance.Maintenance light comes up when d engine oil life span is almost up.
FlyboyZee: If you did not use the oil recommended for your car by its manufacturer, even if you reset it, the indicator would still come on again. Whether Synthetic or not, just stick to the car manufacturer's recommendation and do a reset after that and it will take a longer time before the light appears again depending on what the manufacturer has programmed for it...
u wrong with ur analogy.maintenance light has nothing to do with d type of engine oil u used.
jayuuk: I serviced the car on 25th dec 2014,i hv only driven the car 5 times as i have another car,the car has been ok,the light came up few minutes after filling my tank in a gas station.
caterina: tnx 4 ur advice iga gazzuzz. However I suggested d clips 2 d mech nd he confirmed dat dy r intact.he initially said d prob was d links nd he changed dem but d car still had d sound afta changing d links.thats y he suggested changing d shocks.so sir do u tnk it cn b d shocks since we already ryled out d clips nd links ?
did ur mech change d stabilizer bushing also?Tell him to check d shock absorber pads.They can also cause d noise heard.
Mutuwa: I take it you are a love child to an opposition.Its Ediot like you that hype the polity.Ur more stupid,foolish and confused than a mouse in a burlesque house.
ZIMDRILL: your throttle seems to be a bit tight whether its carbon deposit or something else, hence when you brake you feel that the car is fighting to keep on going it, meaning when you brake you let go of the accelerator/gas pedal the throttle stay open let more air meaning car contiunes with same speed even when you foot is off the gas pedal
try by cleaning the throttle body check any carbon built up its a DIY job if you are good with your hands, use throttle body cleaner than any other unrecommended chemicals
you still need to get your car scanned for the check engine light
frm what u mentioned might nt b what is causing d fault.cos d op didn't mention it as y he asked d mech to service d fuel line of the car.The mech should recheck d injector seals,the plugs n d air flowmeter hose if damaged.
chukel: now this is the part I don't like. U r taking what gazzuz said out of context and misinterpreting it. Who said benz is not reliable. Y would he sleep on the road when he travels with it. My family house has benz 230E(flat boot), 300E(vboot) and a c class. They are so reliable that anytime u call on them they answer. It all depends on maintenance culture. U can have a toyota and still sleep on the road when u travel.
Toksytoks: This same thing happened to my 2009 Honda accord. I allowed a mechanic clean my injector head and he messed up my car. The idle went up and my car started consuming fuel and I found it hard to reduce my speed or slow down..the would push forward eachtime. I tried the idle re-learn it didnt work I went to oyingbo and had the black switch on the Injector head changed..the problem resolved but the check engine light is still on. I have tried all forms of scanning,the check engine light will dusappear onlybto reappear after few days. Change the black switch/sensor on the injector mouth or get a new injector head..the idle will normalize but as for the check engine light I have resigned my fate . Do not allow anyone clean your injector again.
I had my injectors cleaned and changed my 4 plugs. My mechanic said he cleaned the injector head with thinner and applied oil treatment to stop a tampering sound from the engine. Now my car drives quieter but the idle is high. around 1500 to 1800 on cold start and drops to 1200 rpm.
How can I reduce the idle to the factory default at 700? I read stuff online and it said I have to perform the idle re-learn procedure, what is that?
Car: honda accord 2008, 4cyl Thanks
D mech err when he used thinner to service ur injector nozzles.Tell him to check d seals of d injector nozzle.If bad,replace n see d result.Not rectified?scan n send d code
Walspring: Is like you didnt understand my post and am disappointed in you for calling this charity after you read this between the lines as you advised me to read... This is called political donation and not charity donation. If i am not wrong, if you cross check with this woman community 90% there are suffering.(You can prove me wrong)
So political campaign is now charity organisation that an old woman like her age should be donating for abi
Can you tell me what is good in giving her life saving for campaign donation that will end next month
Cant she donate the money to motherless home or less privilege just like old age people in develop countries usually do
Maybe you are thinking i am sentimental because she donated it for Buhari, Even if it is President Jonathan i will still say the same thing.
Instead we should join hands together and condemn some barbaric things in my nation Nigeria like unreasonable donation like this but people like you admire it which is bad
Can you imagine what the 1 million will do for the people in her community or family who needs less than 50k
If my late grand parents are still alive and they did something like this during this kind of era, I wont waste my little money to attend their burial at all because donating that kind of money into politics is bad with their age when they can use the money to help people in their village
I am not insane that i will wasted 100k for campaign donation when people around me (family or friends or community) are suffering..
How do you think that developed countries like USA/UK/Canada etc get developed?
Do you think is their federal/state government that developed those country alone
Able citizens with excess riches assisted their government in developing it by donating some of their money to develop their community or contributed by building or doing things for the community without giving the money to their federal/state government, Even those who are about to die still will part of their money for their community so that people there can feel part of it..
Do you know that it is only in my nation Nigeria that the road that leads to the millionaires, Billionaires home town is not good and not even tiled at all and majority of children there dont have sound education.. ( tell me cant they help them with their little wealth)
If you want change, All these people (either pdp or apc, etc) cant give us change at all because the same money donated for them have sent some to untimely death and life time injury
If you not clear about my previous post, am sure with this you will understand where i am coming from and where i am going to because i have gone pass doing or partaking in politics
