Hello guys.

My mechanic wants to change the gasket in my car (Honda Accord 2010). However, he said that plastic gasket is better than metal gasket because most metal gasket are fake right now.

Please who has experience with plastic gasket.

Getting original coolant is the problem as it's will be with other vehicle parts. Most coolant in the market today are just water mixed with coloring.

nurey:
Their is a reason why we use coolant. Coolant is a colored liquid, if their is external leak, it will make it very feasible to see. Using water will make it hard to see external leakage.

Water reducing while vehicle is driven\cranked at all points at external leakage. Normally your engine oil dip stick should have been milky but if the seepage is small sometimes, the oil may not be milky yet but you will notice fast droplets of very light oil when you remove the oil gauge to check

Good day everyone,

I’m having a serious overheating issue with my 2009 Honda Civic and I need advice.

This is what happened:

I went on a long drive one day and noticed the car overheated. When I checked, the reservoir was boiling and all the coolant had poured out. I later discovered the radiator fan had stopped working at that time.

I’ve since fixed the fan and it’s now working fine.

After that, I topped it up with water (not coolant), and the car seemed okay for a while. But the overheating happened again.

Now this is the confusing part:

Even when I don’t drive the car, the water level keeps dropping.

For example, this morning I didn’t even drive. I just opened the bonnet, topped up the water, closed it, and came back a few hours later — the water level had gone down again.

What I’ve checked so far:
• No visible leak under the car
• Engine oil is normal (not milky)
• No white smoke from exhaust
• Fan is now working

My questions:
• What could cause water to reduce even when the car is not running?
• Could it be a bad radiator cap or pressure issue?
• Is it still possible to be a gasket or internal problem even without white smoke?
• What exactly should I check next?

I’ve been using just water for now, not coolant.

Abeg, I really need guidance before I cause more damage.

Thanks 🙏

Died from it. I did the hospital running around so I’m fully aware of it first hand. Literally moved the person myself into ICU when we could no longer manage it at home. Last time I saw the person alive

Good afternoon everyone. I recently bought a Nigerian used 08 Honda accord for a good price but there are some issues that I am now noticing in the car.

First, some of the yellow lights on the dashboard won’t go off, like the VSA, TPMS, check engine light, ABS light and the triangle light. Initially the brake light was showing but after a diagnosis, I had to change the break sensor, but once I changed it, I stopped seeing the brake light, but these other lights now came out of nowhere. They were not showing before. Also, my shock absorber needs to be replaced, but would it affect the other lights?

Please I will be grateful for your assistance so that I can resolve this issue without spending unnecessarily, or being cheated by my mechanic. God bless you
