And if de fan keep working dis way without removing de battery terminal to make it stop won't it have any effect on my car?
The effect will be on your car battery, it'll rundown.
I suspect the 'fan relay' is bad and should be replaced.

Good luck to you!

Some wires are touching where they are not supposed to. Take it to an electrician to check where the fault is from.

A good bearing Job should suffice it depends on your pocket. In the market today you can barely tell which hasn't been tampered with and which has unless u have a good plug. Basically both options are ok in my opinion

Any reputable fully synthetic 5w30 oil will suffice.There is mobile, Pennzoil, Castrol, liqui moly etc. These fluids are world renowned.

Pls house help! My car, 2008 Honda Pilot recently brings out blue smoke from exhaust when I accelerate. I recently changed engine oil, that was on October. I used Hardex 5w20.
However, I didn't use the car often because I wasn't around. It was mostly packed.
NB: I used the same Hardex 5W20 earlier & didn't have any such issue.
Aside the blue smoke coming out from the exhaust, no other issue seen.

What could cause the blue smoke coming out?
Do I need to change the oil again?
What should I do?

Thanks

I for one do not like Hardex or support the use of it. It's possible that your car has been smoking but you never noticed it till recently however it's also possible that the oils viscosity isn't up to standard on high temperature which is why I always recommend the usage of high quality oil like Mobil 1, Pennzoil, liqui moly etc especially when you want to stick to 5w20 in temperate regions. I'd suggest you visit any mobile filling station and buy their Mobil 2000 5w30 oil and service your vehicle again and see what happens.

Yes...change the oil.

A neighbour had similar experience couple of years back when he changed the oil to Mobil 2000, the smoke stopped!

Goodluck to you!

Will Mobil 2000 5w30 be okay as against recommended 5w20? Can it serve?

It could be a case of substandard oil inside the hardex 5w20. I had someone tell me his experience of how his car started smoking on servicing with hardex 5w20. Drain the oil and fill it up with oil of another brand with similar oil weight.
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by sandammy(m): 10:21am On Dec 20, 2021
Please enlighten me here my Ogas. I have two issues

1. My 2007 Europe civic radiator fan start rolling immediately the car is started even when the engine has not warmed up. The car is 9ja used bought. Does it mean the thermostat has been removed? I'm planning to refill the radiator with coolant as it's only water in it.

2. I also noticed that anytime I put on the AC, i don't immediately feel it until after some minutes and when car is idle and I put on the AC, I kinda hear some sound coming from the engine by the passenger side like a running or boiling water. If I step outside the car, I don't hear this same sound only while inside.
Please I need explanation and guide on what to do to rectify these two issues

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by lumide533(m): 7:32am On Dec 21, 2021
Hello guru in the house,

I use honda pilot 2006, for a month now i noticed when i brake within speed limit 20-40km/hr after driving on highway at 80-100km/hr, there is this clamping sound i hear from both back leg of my vehicle.

This sound occur simultaneously occasionally or one after the other on both leg. It is now irritating to hear.

I need your advise on what to do. My mechanic has checked the brake and didn’t see anything wrong.

He is suggesting changing all the bushing at the back leg which means he will remove the leg completely to change them.

Im scared of all this mechanic and their way of troubleshooting make i no waste money.
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by YeyeBoyfriend: 2:43pm On Dec 21, 2021

Just like the civic, it doesnt pull legs

leg pull is synonymous with accord 1994 to 2007 they corrected it on the 2008 model.

every cars pull legs, my younger brothers corolla 06 had its front leg flying out some months back, it solely depends on how your mentenance skills speaks.

Greeting guys!

Yesterday, my civic 06 suddenly went off while driving, after making clicking sounds. Tried to start and the clicking sound continued repeatedly, waited for some minutes and it started.
Today, same thing happened, it pulled a code P0685 - ECM/PCM power relay control malfunction.

Pls gurus in the house, gazzuzz, kingreign, luvinhubby, how do I resolve this?

Get your information straight my man. The so called leg from 08 upwards is more reliable. Are you saying that Toyota doesn't pull if not maintained or are you saying that a well maintained Hondas tyre will pull. Don't misinform others please. If you don't know, ask questions. Dont infect this thread with your childish 1950s Toyota syndrome

The error code is pointing to your ECM relay. Get a professional rewire to check every fuse and relay located in the engine bay of the vehicle and let him replace the ECM relay in the fuse box.
