Our dear Gazzuz also told me to change engine and radiator of my 09 accord gave me a bill of N652k. I was depressed.
But thanks to my awesome technician he fixed everything for less than N100k and car drives smooth and better.

All engines can be fixed. You just need a professional hand.

The flooding didn't do the damage it was the person that started the car who caused it.

When your car is flooded, remove spark plugs and start it a couple of time to get rid of the water

fuckboys:


Lmao, seriously forget this over hyped mechanics in nairaland like gazzuzz and co. that claim to be professionals. They're lot's of great experienced mechanics everywhere who aren't proud and claim to be professional mechanics like those guys above, but those great jobs far better.

justdream:


Same thing has happened to my 08' Accord. Some mechs have changed alot of things and Engine still doesnt feel good. Been hearing CHANGE ENGINE. Abeg can i get hold of this your mechanic? Am getting frustrated already.

cdoffx:

And sometimes it might be something as simple as an overlooked sensor. My 08 accord too has also been giving me head ache. Looks like the engine want to die. Checked everything and couldn't place the issue, I was already frustrated and felt like throwing it away. Then mechanic decided to check fuel pump and low and behold the filter is completely clogged and even with traces of water in it. So we change the pump and engine run better but still not as it should engine would still not rev beyond 2500rpm before rev limiter cut in and idle is as though engine has 10% life left. Meanwhile I have this portable Bluetooth OBD scanner which I use Everytime to scan my car and it's recently started being up MAP sensor. I googled and showed mechanic the MAP sensor(not like he doesn't know it but doesn't know that's what it is called) told me that sensor is just for engine not to consume fuel nothing else. Well I got sensor myself for 8k fixed it and lo and behold my car just de cruise like aeroplane.

Most people do some silly mistake during rain.

Take note of this..


Turn off your AC when u are in flood.

Sometimes in February Honda overheated, the rings fried, a connecting rod bent and some bearing damaged.
Most Mechs told me to change engine including our own Gazzuz.
Buh thank goodness, an Engineer from my workplace fixed it.
I bought a premium ring pair and a connecting rod and volla!

My Honda is driving better than before, some mech told me it will go bad after 3 months, it's October already and the car is giving me joy.

I typed all this cos the guy that fixed it told me the same thing you said "All engines can be fixed"

He said he's ringed a countless vehicles that runs good after six years.

I am a Dangote Transport staff and we've got some exceptional technicians.

temi4fash:


Where can we get this kind of technicians??

Martini101:



If the damage affected the Engine block, you must definitely get a new Engine (tokunbo).

Grupo:


Thank you.

I use Mobil 20W 50. And I change the oil at 2k miles and below sometimes. My engine is still clean, no sludge.

I believe that once your engine still has the thermostat which helps the engine reach operating temperature and you change oil regularly, then you won't have sludge.

See my engine when I opened it some months back.

dru23:


It is penny wise and pound foolish.. Mobil xhp 4liters is roughly 8500k to 9k Naira for 4liters.. Depending how you drive it means you are doing oil change every month.
By the time you add up the cost of labour for Oil change and filter , you are basically spending close to 12k naira every 2k miles.......now if you use full synthetic u can save more depending what brand of synthetic you are using........

Unless you are not telling us something.. Coz nowadays people buy used engine oil to service their cars.... Abi you drive ur car 2k miles for the whole year....

It has been easy surviving please.

Dukeolumidemans:
Passed through a similar flood after I left my mechanics workshop. The 2 roads which was the way out was heavily flooded. After the first outlet almost submerged a Lincoln 4x4, I took the other way in my Volvo. Cars parked on both roads to wait for the flood to reduce. Despite the flood almost reaching my window, I drove slowly out and people from other Toyota/other cars were just peeping at me...below is the Volvo I used that day.

NB: Volvo is very strong. I come in Peace.

shambala:
So why didn’t you fix mine?

Or you select what you can fix?

Grupo:


I do mostly city driving and occasional high way.

I live in a small town, that point A to B is always less than 10 miles.

I do cover 2k miles in three months. And sometimes, I don't get to 2k in three months, but I still change the oil.

Works for me. May sound penny wise, pounds foolish to you.

GAZZUZZ:




1.You bought an abused vehicle with an engine that has been overhauled more than once. Came with bad crankshafts and bearings.

2. Your engine is inexpensive when comparing .

3. Labour charges would have cost about 25per the value of your engine.

shambala:
Oga all these is excuse.
Someone fixed it for 100k with labour charges and the car is driving better.

I saved 500k not taking your advice.

Sometimes being able to type on Nairaland isn’t a validation that you know it all.

FYI nothing was wrong with the crankshaft as it was not touched at all.
