No matter how pointless it is...


Sir, boya e go give you further happiness if you couple it back, install in vehicle and test drive?


I wan see how recoupled airbag dey behave Sir

Lol.

aieromon:
What caused the corrosion of the inflator? Did the unit have a nitrogen gas mini-tank?

Honestly not sure of the corrosion, but I've had it sitting in storage for over a year. Possibly humidity had something to do with it.

I've always wanted to do this.

Luckily I still had the airbag from this other thread. https://www.nairaland.com/6714869/got-accidented-2017-accord

NB: Don't do this on an airbag that hasn't deployed.

nymphomaniac:
plug in Lagos for this ?

I got mine from the Sandbrooke dealer on aieromon's list. Top notch service.

nymphomaniac:
piyke your videos are educating. Thanks. How much for battery charger and tester please. Where can I get them?

You're welcome. On the items, maybe check Konga/Jumia for availability. Other than those you may be down to importing. Abundant on Amazon or Aliexpress.

aieromon:
KB Service Centre just received a new shipment of Bosch batteries ranging from 50 to 250Ah.

The 74Ah battery costs ₦45,000.

N.B - They charge VAT for corporate organisations.

Bosch needs no introduction. Very solid. Still enjoying the one I got! Thanks for sharing.

chukel:
Piyke your car is here

Not Honda . Not my car

nymphomaniac:
Never knew the Camry had quad exhausts sha. As seen on eko bridge this morning. Piyke food dun come o

The nightmare-causing exhaust kit .

I actually saw a super riced up 2002 E Class coupe some days ago. Hood scoop, provocative spoiler and other body kit stuff. To wrap, it was finished in a flamboyant but poorly done black and white paint.
Couldn't take a pic as it was FRSC zone.

RuneKingThor:
Whats the price of the OEM today please?

I don't recall but you can check here: hondapartsnow.com

kingreign:
Boss!
You sold her and didn’t inform me?

I was low key looking for a city runabout.
She was indeed a very faithful partner to you. Hope the new owner keeps her well maintained just like you did.

My dear, the person that bought it booked it even before I bought the 2017. Kpele.

Born2conquer:
How is the 2017 Honda?

Doing great. No complaints.

Treadway:
Most times when ignorant people say Honda no good, I just say ask Piyke. I also have a Honda accord that has been faithful since 2013. I'm so attached to the car that I don't even have it in me to sell it. I just say make my bro still dey drive am first

I can relate to the bolded. When the buyer was driving away, it felt like a part of me was leaving. Lol.
I bought this 2003 Accord knowing nothing about cars. All I learnt in terms of diagnostics/fixing vehicles was on this car, hence the sentimental attachment. Once the guy left, I just went and started washing the new car to calm my head

keymatt:
Congratulations! As you let go of the old, the new will come.

Yes o

soloehis:
congratulations ..what type of engine oil were u using to service the car and at what intervals? Having a knowledge of your maintenance culture will be really helpful

Used 20w-50 for the first couple of years (didn't have access to oil weight), then switched to 5w-20/30 mineral oil. Ran one Mile Master synthetic blend once but it practically evaporated from the engine so I continued mineral oil. Intervals were 3 - 4.5k miles.
I think the clencher is that I drove mostly highway miles.

nymphomaniac:
you took good care of the ride. I hope her new owner appreciated the hard work?

Yep

checkmatez:
For sale?

Sold

@Gazzuzz thanks for some elders wisdom yesterday

Final odometer count 265,893 miles (428k kilometers)

Dashboard still clean of warning lights

After 13 years, 112k plus miles, loads of fun trips and DIY escapades, I finally let this car go.

Although I got a 2017 Accord last year, some planned repairs for the YouTube channel, plus some attachment to the car kept this car in the garage.

Good to be moving on.

Some history in this thread.

erico2k2:

erico2k2:

Noice! Must cost a fortune seeing a DHL label!

Liron:
How much for the ik618

As at 15 Nov 2022, sells for $999 on Amazon. I have an exclusive 8% discount coupon though. It's in the video description.
NB: It's cheaper on Aliexpress if you buy from there.

Key programmed to this W204 2013 GLK 350.

I used an aftermarket Benz key.

nymphomaniac:
Good day guys. I intend to get a spare car key as my present one is loose and comes out of the ignition easily.

What is the cost of cutting a spare key for a Toyota Camry 2002?

Will it be programmed?

Not sure of the cost but, if you're in Abuja, you can get a blank from Gudu, same shop can cut the blade. Not sure of the cost. Some years ago I think they quoted 10k for a blank and cutting, but you know what the dollar is doing now. Be sure to get the correct key!
Do you know if your existing key is a Master or Sub key?
NB: You don't need a scanner for the process. YouTube is your friend

PAQ:
RICE and beans on a 406!

Tears streaming down face

mejai:
Piyke, As seen on Twitter ooo. This one worse Paz

Here's the tool I'll be using for this; The XTOOL IK618 key programmer.

erico2k2:
yep, looked good until I got into a crater aka pothole, I now need two new ones

Pele

nymphomaniac:
Come to Lagos daddy

Drive to Abuja for the programming

Let me know if you need this. I got a new scanner/advanced key programmer to review, and I'm keen to put it to the test. I am especially looking out for Benz and BMW (The tough children) keys. Smart keys prefarable, but blades also welcome. Other car brands are welcome.

You will have to get the 2nd key you want to program though, including cutting it if it's a blade key.

I am currently not charging anything, but I may film the procedure for YouTube content. Of course, no personally identifiable shots will be taken.

If the above sound fine to you let me know.

I spray a diesel and klin solution all around the engine with a spray can..then close the bonnet and allow to sit for around 20 minutes for the solution to degrease the engine...

Then i use a rag soaked in fuel to wipe parts of the engine I can reach...

Then I finally use the spray can to spray a fine mist of clean diesel all over the engine ...gives it an immense shine...

I saw the diesel and klin trick at a car wash in Owerri years ago..the niggas also used diluted battery acid to wash car engine. .they used sticks from one plant I don't know to reach the acid to all corners of the engine and gearbox blocks and gear blocks.

Then they use high pressure hot water to
flush..they then put diesel in their mouths and spray it all over the car engine for immense shine. Engines looked brand new thereafter..

I picked up the diesel and klin trick, as well as the diesel shining stuff, except say me na hand spray can I dey use to spray the diesel, not my mouth..As for the acid and high pressure water spray, I leave that one for them..

I no gree learn that one because I no get energy for stories that touch..before I use acid or hot water spray go touch where I go begin find rewire, or worse still, begin find engine or gearbox to buy...Devil no fit use me.

I had a hard laugh at the diesel mouth spray .
Personally, I avoid acid on engines. It will affect aluminum engines particularly. I still don't have mind for diesel and and klin for shine. Some people use ATF too. I just use engine protectant spray. When I didn't have engine protectant, I left it like that.

Does the diesel mixture attract dust?
