Civic 08, Honda accord 8th gen or CRV 08 which one is get to go car and reason?
All great vehicles
- I’d take the civic if I want the best economy
- I’d take the accord if I want a larger sedan and Comparable to a Toyota Camry
- I’d take the CRV if I wanted ground clearance and would probably need cargo space
All vehicles are great options honestly, I hope this helps.

Hello everyone, I recently bought a 2016 s63 .
I want to service the suspension , I already have the body control accumulators and the filter . Please where can I get the original fluid here in Lagos.
I’ll advise to order it outside the country or better still talk to Dru23, he’s based in the us and sells original fluids here, he’ll most likely be able to get you the original CHF fluid for the abc unit

No codes at all, but my mechanic is saying I don't have catalyst that I should go and get one... I came for a routine servicing.
Confirm from another mechanic

Good evening house,
Please, at what point do you think it is necessary to get a new catalytic converter for a Honda accord 2010?
And if one is to get this, do you go for the Japanese/korean version or the Chinese version or just get Belgium used?
Do you have catalyst efficiency codes when you run a scans on the car ?

Hello everyone.

What's your opinion on a 2015 Hyundai Sonata car for a first time buyer? I drive a Toyota corolla regularly but not sure about buying one. I love the design of the 2015 Hyundai sonata.
Is it reliable? Fuel efficient?
I have seen prices between 15m and 17m for Toks from Car dealers.

And also hope been a lady doesn't decide the kind of car brand I can get? Because I always hear people say ladies find some brands difficult to use.

Please I need suggestions

Nurey, louiscars and all
Not a very reliable powertrain as Mr Nurey as initially stated, I’ll advise you to stick with the Toyota, or probably with that budget getting the 2016 Camry if it’s appealing to you

sonofthunder:
Why do people overlook Toyota Matrix? Is it not a good car or is the price on the high side?
Actually it’s an amazing vehicle, shares same powertrain with the corolla, Infact if you’re someone who would like more cargo space or maybe you need something that looks different it’s a good choice too but as the downside as the corolla of being stolen or vandalized for part

Issues with my 2008 Accord V6 Navi Model

Can anyone provide clues or directions on this..

Vehicle in question: Honda Accord 2008 V6 Navi model

I dropped off my vehicle with a popular auto-workshop around Billingsway for oil leak repairs that required the technicians to pull out the engine from the vehicle.

On completion, all the instrument clusters stopped working, except for the fuel gauge and the A/B trip computer only.

There’s no feedback from:
— the speedometer,
— temperature gauge,
— odometer
— the car information dashboard
— the gear selector indicator
— the air-conditioning (it only blows hot air, their A/C technician says he can’t diagnose any issue that’s causing it).
— the diagnostic control

None of the OBS diagnostic tools is reading any information from the vehicle. Nothing is coming up. All their 3 diagnostics tools worked fine with the vehicle just prior to them undertaking the repairs.

There’s no other security set up on the vehicle except Honda’s security set up. I’ve checked to see if that’s the issue. It doesn’t seem to be.

The implication is that my vehicle cannot be in use, otherwise I will be driving blind.

Mechanical-wise, the vehicle’s operation seems good. But I can’t ever be comfortable driving a vehicle where no vehicle information is available

Prior to this particular repair, all functions and instruments in the vehicle worked perfectly and in good condition. In over 5 years of use, this is the first time of undergoing any significant maintenance/repairs.

It is now 5 weeks since I was scheduled to pick up the vehicle, and till date they have not been able to resolve whatever the issue is.

I am counting my losses at this point, as I have to look elsewhere to get this fixed; but I need guidance from any of the professionals on here. I will also be holding them liable for the cost of repairs of this particular issue.
Seems like you’re having CAN communication issues from the cluster to the vehicles vital control unit ( ECU/ TCM)
- since you can’t scan the vehicle first thing I’ll do is to check for battery power at pin 16 of the dlc port.
- inspect dlc fuse and all other fuse generally
- inspect all vehicle ground since engine was removed
- check can high and can low readings at the dlc port (3.5v and 1.5v )
- check terminating resistance between can high and low also ( should be 60 ohms thereabouts
- through a wiring diagram check both can high and low wires to the instrument cluster ( if all of the above checks out which I doubt it would )
- lastly maybe getting another cluster to test for a dead cluster ( this I really doubt if all the whole info isn’t available )
For your AC
- most likely when they took out the engine they loosened out the condenser unit for space and now you need Freon ( gas ) to cool again
NB ALL TO BE DONE BY A TECHNICIAN

Remain Bless. But I think I will prefer something in the range of 2011 or 2012.
How much do you think that will cost me
Also do note that the prices I’m giving are average values sir, you’d obviously find some cheaper or even more expensive all depends on various factors, like age, vehicle condition and even reason for sale, thank you sir.

Then get the 2011 Camry ( the one that still looks like a muscle Camry but then has a better engine ) for a tokunbo unit you should be looking at 10.5-11m max and 8-8-5 m for a good Nigerian used unit
A 2012 -2013 Camry would suffice also has a much refined look, and still very reliable and maintenance friendly, 14.5-15m for higher trims like se and XLE and a registered unit about 10m-11.5m
2010-2011 corolla, very economical on gas, simple ride and would do everything you need it to do, it can be a bit pricy though ( 7-8m for Nigerian used unit ) and 12m for a toks unit
- 2010
2012 Honda civic - a very good alternative to the corolla

Greetings all.
So I am 35 years . Never had a car before . Don't even know if I know how to drive well but I have driven to a short distance .
So I want to get a car which will be my first car before April .
I know nothing about cars .
Please kindly recommend a car brand that will serve me well.
Fuel economy, durability, low maintenance, efficiency and one I can comfortably drive and learn the ropes .

My budget is 6-7M.
Thanks alot for your recommendation
2007 Toyota Camry ( solid car, but you’ll most likely face oil burn issues later on )
2005-2008 corolla ( actually a good option, just get a car tracker if you opt for it, it’s a thieve magnet )
2005 -6 Toyota Highlander ( you probably have kids or would need something with a higher ground clearance , it’s very reliable but then it’s a v6 )
- 2008 Honda Crv, honestly, this is the best option for you, absolutely wonderful cuv, nice interior has ground clearance, 4 plugs engine, maintenance friendly, fit the budget perfectly, just make sure you get a good unit
Whenever you’re ready to get any vehicle generally you can always reach out to me on 08028992075

My car ac blower trips off everytime I enter gallops or any rough road, and after some minutes it come up again , at any slight rough road the AC blower trips off and when it does the compressor also stops and picks when it start blowing again. Is the AC blower faulty?
Is this an ml350 2013, I’ll suspect a connection issue with it instead of a failed component ( I’ve personally tackled gle350 and it was the junction connector to the blower that got burnt, pretty common on the ml series 2013-15

If you’re getting a registered one, get a pre purchase inspection done be wary of the Cvt transmission ( for the four cylinders though )

Hello my people. Am a first time car buyer which car would u suggest for me for buisness runs and can withstand bad road. I have a budget of 2 million or under
What business are we talking does it involve hauling goods and since you you’d be plying bad roads you’re better off with an suv, but 2 million is very low to get a used vehicle a vehicle I would have suggested is a 2001 Toyota 4Runner, it gets the job done but then they aren’t cheap ranging from 4’-5m for a registered unit
