Remember to keep that chrome well. Only cost 15k. Pass on the info to the car owner always stolen by our Naija stock keepers

I have seen many of them. Because of this heat/cold myth, mechanics even wait for three days!

I know you won't try it, but one day, I will come to your shop and guarantee a transmission replacement if something goes wrong with 'hot' job done properly. How about that?

Come on in but do not forget to come along with your own ride so we can praticalise and thereafter preach the gospel

Kashif:


The problem is that U150 aka 13pin transmissions are very unforgiving when contaminated. A pinch of sand is all it takes to ground them.

It is mostly tree-shed mechanics that suffer this the most, because of their work ethics and environment. During shaft replacements, they would usually drop the replacement shaft on the (sandy) ground before installation, which will guarantee dirt ingress into the transmission. When they attempt to clean, they don't do a thorough job. They would just use a rag to 'dust' it and then install. If you do this, it will come back to bite you. It needs to be washed if you work under this condition.

Another source of dirt during installation is the shaft seal. That too needs to be cleaned (as much as you can) otherwise, the dirt there will rob off on the shaft as it makes its way into the transmission. It is common to hit the seal a couple of times while aiming at the orifice.

If temperature is the issue, then how can failures after 48-hour wait be explained? I have worked on these when they had only cooled down enough to be handled without contact burns, and no issues.

Do you have any failure recorded after 48hrs of waiting. Your point is top notch. But CV joint replacement when these transmissions are hot cannot be eschewed

We are talking CV joints here. Not the drive shafts

erico2k2:

we go hear good news soon, Im battling with stiff steering at the moment.There is this guy coming to fix it today aparently he k nows whats up withthe stiffy,I bought Diesel already fill 40% and no problems yet lol fingers crossed

Kindly buy your deisel from total filling station

Am sorry to say this but I must so as to serve as a lesson to others with the transmission U151E. 24hrs is needed for that job. Anything lesser you are on your own. Get prepared to get another transmission

Aye le ibosi o

P1734 - shift solenoid valves B or C stuck off. First and foremost what does your transmission fluid look like. Wine colour, dark colour or brownish in colour.
If wine colour proceed to check shift solenoid valve band c. Which is just right inside of your transmission. If dark in colour and smells burnt you are on your way to replacing that transmission. If brown in colour proceed to changing fluid with " Honda DW1 transmission fluid". You can use a good dextron vi transmission fluid.


N.B: there is a recall on your vehicle for transmission issues

What part of the control units were scanned. That red sign means a grave danger. Lastly did you use a professional scan tool?. Location pls

Run a scan on airbag module. Get scan result. You should have it like "B****". Post scan result here

Thanks sir this was the issue, but it was done in such a way that only a fantastic auto- mechanic could figure out where the connection was tampered with by the oyingbo Honda mechanics.

Hehehehe

In the morning or when engine is in cold state, My Honda accord 05 doesn't start at once. Will have to hold down the throttle pedal sometime for it to start. And when it does rpm pedal stays low at about 0.5. Then it take a long time to warm up after which ROM gets to about 0.8

Mentioned this to my mechanic (Kazeem) he said its the spark plugs. Even though he hasn't checked.

What could be the cause of this please so I don't start trial and error.

Note error code when scanned is cam position sensor

Inspect camshaft position sensor and it's wiring. A cold start hard start. Check coolant temperature sensor as well.

abussyaya:



Noted sir I will take note of that but I strongly doubt this unless it was tampered with without my knowledge. Thanks for the response

To confirm this put your key in the igntion barrel turn to key to on position and see if fan comes up. Check this when car is still cold

Simply revert your fan system back to factory mode where by the engine coolant temperature sensor kicks in the fan. Am sure yours has been reengineered to work all throughout your driving period

AmandaLuv:
No it wasn't removed today. Close to 6 months. I cnt remembr about d nets but it looked like normal mosquitoe net, not d iron ones o

That's not a catalytic converter my dear. That's just some pieces of wire mesh stocked inside the pot. Let them have a look at what I told you. You should have another just like this pot at the back of your engine. Your mecho is just playing some snake and ladder match here

AmandaLuv:
quote author=mayor2013 post=71991880]Anything in there No. This was d 1 that was removed frm my ride. It had nothing inside, but d replacement had nets.

Was this removed today? What type of net. Roughy net or something like I showed you on your thread

Anything in there

Infact, its better to use ordinary engine oil on Honda power steering than any ATF you see. Trust me, first hand experience (2003 accord).

Honda ps fluid has more viscosity than any ATF but less than engine oil. ATF in the power steering will cause overheating, then pump starts whining, then leaking, then pump knocks out. More viscosity is more stress for the pump but more lubrication. The pump will be better off with engine oil than ATF if oem PS fluid is not affordable. If possible light weight engine oil like 5w30 or 40.

Which one be this again. Engine oil inside power steering. Have fixed power Steering pump on Honda more than a year now still works fine and I never used engine oil. If you get the procedures well then there would be no problem

Pictures or adonbelievit.

I've worked on 2006 Sonata and Elantra bought brand new in Nigeria, so I find the 2012 optima story hard to believe.

Why do you doubt it. Most Nigerian branded Kia and Hyundai are always short changed in terms of component installed. Hyundai Tucson 2011 was short changed interms of installing a climate control to the conventional AC system

GAZZUZZ:


fear fear

Bring that honda come there Na. You go put the bumper for trunk last last. That road na eyesore

AmandaLuv:
Tnx dear, it was a direct tokumbo with nets inside. The one dat was removed from mine was open without any net. Dat one eliminated a sound like BOOOOOOOMMM! from d exhaust.

AmandaLuv:
@mayor2013 will dat one be d 02 sensor? The one dat looks like plug with wire?

That's an o2 sensor. Your scan result states catalytic converter efficiency below thresold. So have the cat checked first

AmandaLuv:
i replaced d cat dat stays under d car, exact picture of wat u sent me.
Scan result says:
P0420: catalyst system efficiency below threshold (bank 1)

it's a 99 siena sir

You still need to replace the one up just at the rear of the engine. You should have one there.but before then let them bring it out and have it checked. Might have detoirated. Your engine should be 1MZ-FE

AmandaLuv:
i have replaced this b4. B4 i did d first replacement it was discovered dat d catalyst melted inside. That net-like stuff. It wasnt yanked off. So i really do not know d condition of d one i replaced sometime ago.
Plz i googled and found p0420 was referring me to 02 sensor dat stays close to d manifold. I rlly dnt knw.

Which of them did you replace? What year is your sienna again

AmandaLuv:
Tnx dear, please my siena was scanned today and i got p0420 catalytic bank 1? Plz wat does this mean?
Anyone to help me with a picture?
Cc: Gazzuz, AutoElectNg, mayor2013

Catalytic converter is missing or has been yanked off. Have it replaced. Found along exhaust behind fire wall. What you have inside the first pix looks like this in the second picture

Check fuel pressure emanating from fuel pump. If external filter exist replace if changing the fuel pump. As for the jerk you pull the transmission to drive. Check all engine mounts

Impressive. CC luvinghubby. How much is the engine am sure you are with the team replacement gang

Does your customer still maintain that he/she serviced the car with synthetic oil religiously from the get go?

Yes synthetic

Vehicle speed sensor. In consistent shifting of transmission. Lost communication with TCM (transmission's computer) which sends and receives command from and to transmission. In summary both parties are not communicating which each other. You need to do a proper diagnosis to get to the root of the problem. Limp mode activated
