Besto:



1: it's universal
2: yes it can be adjusted provided you monitor the installation or do it yourself
3: dland bi-led projector.
4: it's mounted in the dim section ( it got a low and high solenoid that works perfectly with your car light switch that's if you do the connection well)

See video below for your kinda car

1:Oil type is 0w20 or 5w20 fully synthetic from any reputable brand like Mobil 1, Pennzoil, liqui moly, Castrol, super tech , Honda e.t.c Don't go cheap on oil. These oils can go as long as 5k to 7k miles depending on the brand.

2: Ensure to service your transmission with only genuine Honda transmission fluids. You can get it from luvinhubby.

3: use only coolant in your radiator. You can also get the OEM coolant from luvinhubby. If you can't afford to, you can use the coolants sold at total fuel stations.

Just keep a good maintenance history with an experienced mechanic along with a scan tool and the car will serve you. Congratulations on your awesome ride.

Sorry about your experience. You need to consult an AC technician that knows his onions

Start with the simple things. Inspect your radiator and reservoir covers. If they are bad, kindly replace them. If your radiator is dirty after a visual inspection, you can take it to a specialised car wash to get it cleaned up in order for air to flow through it better. Also if you are using water, it's not a great coolant for modern vehicles.

Don't know how much but the good news is that the compressor is manual, nothing you can't handle.

Leave that AC alone. What are you refilling or mixing when everything is working perfectly?

Well...at that price, I don't expect expect the Engine and transmission to be in good shape. Safe to budget extra 700k for engine and tranny, extra 150k for compressor and cooling system and maybe extra 100k for other surprises.

N.B: Genuine Honda DW1 now sells around 6-7k per can. You will need like 4 cans.

Trust me, any 2008 Honda Accord i4 that sells at 1.4m isn't in good shape. Naija used, well maintained, error free 08 Accord sells from N1.8m and above.

The RPM gets to 2500 when i start the car.
It goes above 1000rpm when in Drive. If i put on the ac,it goes up to 1500rpm


I suspect that your water pump is bad....Replace the water pump and you'll get a good result.

Good luck to you!

One Dru on this platform that sells oil advised me to maintain my 20W50 and not switch to 5W30. That's why I didn't go. Though I'll be servicing my car this weekend
