My 2002 c220 cdi (diesel) is hard starting and will not start unless prime, and when it starts, it stays on for like 30 secs and sometimes not up to that before it goes off again. Please what could be the problem here.

Cc: kingreign, cne010, eyop, jakumo, nurey, shortgun et all.

I don't work on German diesels, but check the glow plugs, also ensure the overflow valve isn't bad. And as for the stalling again, check the diesel pump pressure.

Car in Lagos, but picture shows car clearly is abroad.

Honda does not produce ATF-Z1 any longer. The DW1 that Honda currently produces is backward compliant. That means any car tgat uses Z1 can use DW1. Honda manual says in the absence of both, use Dexron III until you find the right ATF.

wow! This is good, nice one from Honda unlike some random ..... Brands that are too uptight and 'inconsiderate'.

I am actually a bit rusty n id need to do more research on Honda fluids recommendations then.

Ive been doing Toyota and ford n Benz and kia all these while.

luvinhubby:
Need to re-emphasize this issue of fake ATF-DW1 as we witnessed another near tragedy of that some days ago.

The guy owns a 2010 Honda Accord(evil spirit), bought some ATF-DW1 for N2,000 and used for his gear box (transmission), two weeks after the gear starts to stall before transition, at a point could engage only up to gear 3. He brought the car to my gear rewire for attention and on interrogation, found out he used fake DW1 on his gear.

Long and short of story, had the gear flushed of useless fake ATF-DW1 and had his gear filled with the genuine DW1, repeated same after 3 days and the gear is now back to normal transmission. He was lucky his gear box did not fail.

If you are not sure of the source of the gear oil, use OANDO Dextron III temporarily till you get the genuine DW1 or call - 08029255299 and 08039121412.

Stay blessed all.

i still wouldn't recommend dw1 or dextron iii for a 2010 Honda. The Honda manufacturing corp stated ATF-Z1 and this is what should be used.

Thank God he is getting the light that catholic is just a fake and it leads to Hell.

every car can have factory issues not just those he listed.i got a brand new toyota corolla as an official ride with bad rear shocks and worn brake pads.that doesnt make toyotas problematic.

Every car has its own issues but some are demonic in nature. Look at Freelander, rover 75, Peugeot, et al.

Amajerry83:
Rover 75

Hope you've disposed it?

You're a huge reason why those things are endangered species


Personally, I'd love an albino Lion or Tigon or even a Siberian tiger.

The biodiversity in Nigeria shocks me at times -

These animals have been seen -

1. Civet & Genets

2. Hippopotamus

3. Dolphins

4. Manta rays

Animals I see in encyclopedia and I never thought we would be seeing in Rivers / Bayelsa States.

PS - the number plate isn't Nigerian.

That number plate is Nigerian. It's Rivers state, Ahoada LGA.

It's same thing I said

No, did not. I unsettled up and copied it.

No car is bad.it depends on the state of the car when 1 buys it.if u buy a bad car whether toyota,nissan, honda or whatever brand you will suffer.if u get a good 1 and you maintain it as at when due u wont have much complaints.But our problem in naija is that most of us wait for d car to breakdown before doing anything about it.the bottom line is buy a good car treat it well u ve peace treat it badly no peace.

Land rover freelancer and Rover 75 had factory known defects. Over 200 known defects from factory

perryy:
True talk. Toyota is the most useless car makers in the work. Our mechanics are the ones advising our people to buy it because it is very easy to be repaired by local mechanics who cannot handle the more complex Honda machines.

300million global users can't be dumb. Auto blogs and auto reviewers can't be wrong, buyers advisers can't be wrong. Toyota ti takeover.

1990 Toyota Carina ii 2.0 GLi 4sp auto lift back.


When i returned from India, I decided to buy a small lift back which I could use to move around. I got myself a brown/gold coloured 1990 model Toyota carina ii 2.0 GLi for 450k, brown seats and brown dashboard, heated side mirrors, heated seats, I had to construct the A/C as there was none. It had alloy wheels and looked good it was a German market carina ii. I bought it, from a woman and took it home. Next day, I started the engine and it roared to life. Pushed the lever to R, the car surged backwards with speed, I slammed the brakes only to hear a groaning sound. Pushed to D, nothing R, nothing. I packed the car there. I travelled again and came back after 2months. I inspected the shafts and noticed balls on the tyre area (that time I was a novice with capital "L" who couldn't handle a spanner). I called a mechanic who checked it and told me shaft is bad, I have to replace both shafts as they were fake elcheapo eltawain shaft. I parted with 12K that day, he came with beljium shaft and installed them. He told me to shift R and D to check if they're working, I depressed the brakes and did that, on releasing the brakes, the flexible brake line on the driver's front tyre bursted. Spilling contents. 3k went out for brake pipes again.

2weeks later, I went to install a CD system LG 1 DIN with pioneer speakers and was feeling funky. I went to Suleja to flex my old babe. coming back, I started hearing a strange noise on the rear driver side tyre. I got to mechanic workshop, tie rod broke. No more steering control tyres were wobbling. 8K to purchase new tie rods, 2k for rubber booths, and 3K for one of the multilink arm on the rear (the previous arm was bent and the previous owner used dunlop slippers cut to act as rubber boot hence the noise and uneven driving).
I was back on the road again. I went to APO to flex with my guys, as per I don show Naija na, night came I was returning home, I couldn't see my front. Hmmm. I managed to get home. Called my mechanic. He said reflectors in Headlamp is faded, we should get another one. 11k for one tokunbo 7k brand new taiwan, I picked 2 tokunbo for 22k. He installed it, it was out of alignment. He adjusted it but it was only slightly brighter than the previous units, he called a re-wire who installed a relay, the headlamp worked at last, I was glad. Hehehehe Night movement started again, lol! Only for rains to come and I discovered no wipers, they were wornout and producing noise. 1,200 naira a pair in front and 300naira for long piece on the rear. Nothing's gonna stop me from 'wakaing'. I discovered the motor started drinking fuel. Chai, called my mecho again, he removed sparkplugs, installed new ones 8K (2k a piece X 4), removed airfilter and bought another one 1500, then bought injector CRC cleaner, cleaned the intake butterfly valves. Poured some in the Vacuum line. Started the car to idle a while, then change oil, 3k oil filter 1k total 4K. Economy improved a bit. But still high consumption. Came back to him, he checked and discovered the Airflowmeter is bad. 15K for belgium part. Finally, it worked. My power windows acts as if they've got a mind of their own when rains come, they may not go up. But I had to manage them, I also found the wires on the power moonroof which was detached (the moonroof was sealed with mechanic's trademark black gum which I peeled off). Suddenly, my steering became stiff. I called my mecho, he said pump is failed. Bought tokumbo pump 7k it worked, I went to AMAC. On the road going, it became stiff again. I called him, he said 'when coming home branch my workshop'. On my way home I was doing 140km/hr on berger-nicon junction expressway, suddenly I slowed down to negotiate katampe bridge, steering locked, slammed the brakes, car swerved off the road, tipped over the bridge and landed face down into the deep gutter below. All the contents in the boot fell inside the passenger cabin. I had seatbelt so i wasn't hurt, I climbed down and called my mechanic. He went to find a hiab truck they said 70k to lift the damn car out of the gutter and place it on the road side. I said NO. I quarrelled with the mechanic, I told him I am no more working with him (beef mode active). Luckily, a blue hiab of FRSC was passing by, I waved him to stop, he helped me freely, I was glad. Someone came, with a knife, cut my rear seatbelt and used it as a tow rope tied to his car and towed mine to another mechanic shop. Headlamp broken, grille broken, front driver side suspension broken, brake cable cut, bumper broken, windscreen developed a line from top to bottom, fenders bent, transaxle broken, steering bad. Over 100K to replace them, new strut bought and yet it failed a week later due to a leak thus giving out the pressurized fluid, I opted for tokumbo struts 12k. I was foolishly determined and no one's gonna let me down. I got on the way from AMAC and drove to go see my babe in Bida poly smiley I never knew it was gonna be another epic wrong move filled the tank up and fired, on highspeed in excess of 160km/hr on kubwa-zuba expressway. Damn speed was sweet
I was dusting all other cars on the road when suddenly I hit a pothole (Suleja, Lapai, to Bida was pothole infested then, I don't know of now) suddenly, my suspension gave way again, but I was not deterred, I must love up. Suddenly, a pre-facelift Honda Accord EOD (2003-2005) swept past, this act bruised my ego, in trying to catch up, the driver suddenly stepped on his brake and a petrol truck was coming ahead, I hit another pothole, my brakepad flew out, this gave me no room to maneuver, I rear ended that car and it was totaled. The boot, to the rear passenger was deformed badly. My front end again went bad. Another crack on my new windscreen, broken headlamp, broken grille, bumper. Suddenly another lorry from behind side swiped my Right side, a piece of sharp metal from the truck sank into my car's rear quarter slicing the metallic body work all thru the rear door area. the alhaji came out and looked at his car, looked at mine, and told me to go repair mine, he'll fix his. shocked smiley I was shocked and happy. I continued my mumu journey to Bida poly, stopped at the gate, called the babe, she say she was busy, can't attend to me. chai!

Ego bruised again, I kuku enter my kabu kabu jalopy, manage enter zuba, police check point. Them men in black wanted to start their story again. I vex tell them say make dem leave me, I need to go rest joor. Out of pity one of them met others and they let me go with my jalopy. Got to my old mechanic, he said, 'you don come again with your wahala'? I no fit answer. We fixed the car, 80K went from my pocket. Toks bumper (blue colour), toks struts, toks headlamps, toks grille, brake lines, pads, calipers, booster, disc and master (remember my brake pad fell off, I had to ride the car like that). welding and panelbeating the rear quarter and door area sliced thru. Immediately I fixed it, I put it up for sale, some dudes came, paid 300k cash, took it and travelled lol, wahala removed finally When they got to their destination, they started calling me. Fear no gree let me pick I finally summoned courage to pick after many missed calls from them only for them to tell me I don't know what I sold to them for such a cheap amount. If only I knew, I won't had sold it so cheaply. Mumu people

Mehn, because of that car I learn mechanic by force, and all the chukuwdi, nonso and spareparts dealers for kubwa and zuba come know me as customer.
