mokset123: Gazzuzz lovely thread. I have a honda accord 2004 lx model. I withness intense vibrations when my car is idiling and it becomes worse with the ac on. I was told to change my 3 engine mounts which I did, yet the vibrations hasnt left, also cleaned the inner part of my throttle body. Yet, the vibrations hasnt disappeared. My check light read this code p0141.

Bizibi: please I have a problem with the a/c in the ml Mercedes I drive,I was told the gas is leaking....is there any way one can fix this problem without creating a mess

aceman: Very useful thread.

I had the wheel studs and break pads on my Odyssey replaced 3 days ago, and since then the ABS and TCS has been on. The mechanic did a lot of banging during the work, could he have damaged anything? The car moves ok, not I'm not comfortable with those indicators being on like that. Pls what can be the problem and likely solution?

murtalaa: Hello, I replaced my Peugeot 406 tyres and then balancing and alignment was done after the replacement. But the problem is that I noticed my gear stick is no longer soft. I have to struggle to change gear. Please what is the solution.

LordOrochimaru: Good job OP, you are an authority in this field...I hope I don't have issues when I buy my first car in 2-3years by God's grace but if I do, I will definitely come running to you via this thread

SirAweezy: Can absence of Catalytic Converter(either bad or stolen) affect fuel cosumption of a car?

Could any leakage from the exhaust cause this problem? Or is there anything wrong with the engine? Please I need your help. Thanks as I awaits u.

Silas0: God bless you for this good work.

lastpage: I really love this thread, been reading it for awhile, as a DIY aficionado myself!

GAZZUZZ, you are doing a marvellous job, l just hope you dont get swarmed with too many questions as it were.

I will suggest that fellow Nairalanders try to read up the thread from page1 first before asking questions, just in-case your issue has been treated already ....... l am beginning to see "repeats" and it can be frustrating to keep repaeting yourself.

Other "gurrus", ...........pls come around and chip-in, "experience is priceless".

Big-Ups Bro

Belexy: Nice thread

davdandam: Well done gazzuzz, my 95 4runner is having a funny problem, my automatic gear selects well, the engine runs smoothly but on acceleration it lags. Really slows down especially when you are going up hill. On reaching level ground it struggles then catches up well. My mechanic suggested opening up the gear box but I'm really confused don't think that's the problem. Plz any ideas

ijescorner: Oh ok...seems like so far it's not a popular choice. But If I knew an agency had all their details and could track them I think I might.

But I'd love to hear what more people think about it.

3ace: The above trouble codes were what my diagnostic scanner retrieved from the computer of a 2005 Toyota corolla after the "check engine" light came on recently. Apparently, these codes relate to the transmission but so far, I'm yet to notice any malfunction in the operation of this transmission. The car still works perfectly-no drag, no hesitation and it changes gear smoothly while on motion. I have been advised to remove and clean the socket attached to the transmission range sensor which I did last week but the codes are still there. With the CEL on, I won't be notified if there's any fault in the engine hence, I need to sort this out and clear the warning light. Please, if you can help solve this problem or you know someone who's good at things like this, be kind enough to contribute. I'll really appreciate.

JUO: yes

sultaan: Your friend is a top of the line slowpoke who has never owned a car destroyed your car in one drive.
He got a used car did not check fluids before doing 140kmph maybe mph with engine flashing .

You will need another engine imho .

You bought a reliable honda that needs another engine before you even got it home.

Choose your cars wisely if you are paying for it do a visual overview personally.

Lesson learnt now it a beginning of your spending spree, you said a Civic Si which does not use the same engine as a regular civic it is a more powerful version of civic

That sound your friend described is probably whet some call throwing a rod

presidentpikin: Car have started overheating this afternoon and erratic gear change

lomomike: Water entered places it shouldn't. Open the MAF compartment, take out the filter to dry, also, hope water hasn't entered the spark plug compartment, injector compartment and other sensitive areas. Open the bonnet and let the water dry off.

smartchoice: He has one beetle....hopefully he'd use that

TCD: na wa o. Na God go save someone for dis country. Abeg dis your get out of jail card, what is it? Or are u a military officer too?
