Car Talk › Re: I Got An Accidented 2017 Accord by Piyke(op): 8:29pm On Aug 22, 2021*

I did body work & paint work externally.

@Kingreign's panel beater did the beating. 'Make I permanent am?' Only kingreign will understand this grin

In all he did well. Thanks King for staying through the panel work!!!

I did painting (just the fender) at one other paint shop.

I undertook all the SRS diagnosis and repairs and documented them in a playlist on YouTube. It's presently 4 videos. You can watch here:

I got this car via auction with steering wheel airbag deployment.

I have successfully restored SRS to factory state, and the airbag/SRS light is now off.

I discovered this brand by accident and it has been good. Been using their oil filters on all cars I manage.

Just in case you come across this, just buy. The Germans know what they are doing!

You can also choose to order from international sites such as AliExpress, Amazon and eBay.

Recommend Aliexpress for best value. Got mine from there.

The sensors come blank but can be programmed to over 98% of cars on the road. Either on the 315 or 433MHz frequency. A good way to save cost especially for those cars with heavy price tags for OEM replacements.

Car Talk › I Programmed Universal TPMS Sensors... by Piyke(op): 6:56pm On Aug 15, 2021

After I got some replacement TPMS sensors for this Toyota Matrix with the evil TPMS light on, I was approached by this coy CGSULIT to review their brand of universal TPMS sensors TS01.
It performed flawlessly.
Now the light is off cheesy

Hey Piyke! I just collected the vacuum pump and other items Mike sent from Lag. Let me see if I'd have some time this weekend to use them on my cars.

Again, thank you so much for your assistance. It's very much appreciated. Oh, and if you wouldn't mind too much, I'll be contacting you from time to time for insights and assistance on vehicle related stuff. Cheers!

You are doing well cheesy

Sure, feel free to reach out.

You're welcome. I would have recommended Trane if I'd known Lagos was an option.

The battery will be top value for every Kobo spent as long as it is original. I will watch out for your test video.

Dantedasz:
Feed back please on the battery performance.
Could you also mention the Lagos dealer please. Thanks in advance.

Oga piyke on your blog you did a rebuild of your Honda power steering pump, well mine is failing so I’m planning to do the same thing you did but I’d like to know the chances of the pump getting better after I open it up and change all seals and stuff. Thanks

Still working like a champ since I did the rebuild.
Precision, attention to detail, tools and a good repair/rebuild kit are essential.

It's serious. Hope there was a recall on this.

Basically the engine design is a piece of junk

Thanks.
Quite unfortunate to have this design flaw on such a basic combustion part. I was even thinking something like loose oil filter or something.

Interestingly, I ran into Energizer at Next Cash & Carry on my way going to pick up the Bosch. Just in case anyone in Abj is interested... 60 & 68AH, made in Spain.

I remember Trane from my popsi's Mercedes Benz 200 back in the days. Lol. Very good batteries.
I believe they are original. O boy, they gave me a video tour of their Bosch inventory, I almost collapsed. I just picked up the battery this evening..

I finally got a Bosch from a dealer in Lagos. S4 E07 EFB to be precise.
This is my first experiment with a high-end battery. Will see how it goes and whether it's worth the extra money. First thing I would do is to test the battery once received....

Thanks again Aieromon for the leads.
