Full engine always better, as one cannot guarantee that your mecho will be meticulous enough to align and torque things to factory specifications. Usually, a service manual is needed to guide on this but we both know 9ja mechos nah. Beware!

It will work perfectly well.
Just ensure you employ the service of a good mechanic.

For the price,it's easy to enquire within your location. Visit some dealers and find out!!!

Good day all, please how much for the engine for accord 2004. 4 plug.

I called severally few days ago , you didn’t answer.

Good morning and thanks for the good work here.

I have Honda Civic 2002 and I replaced the engine. Since I replaced the engine, I have changed brainbox because of many issues.

Now, the RPM is always high when engaged in gear but car does not move fast. Luke 3000 rpm whine speed is 30mile/h

This is also with noise as if something is dragging it back


Where it supposed to use gear 3, it will suddenly back to gear 1.

The engine too consumes fuel with black smoke when raised.

Done the scanning but no worrisome code.

Pls what's the issue

Share the codes even though you feel it's not worrisome.

Hello everyone, first I must say it’s been very informative going through this thread, so thanks for all the tips and inputs!..so I bought my first car two weeks ago, it’s a Nigerian used 2009 Honda Accord and from what I’ve seen on YouTube I believe it’s an ‘LX’ trim. My friend and mechanic did my oil change and servicing one week ago and I’ve been very uncomfortable with how my car now drives. First, it’s this crazy revving when I start it (around 3000 rpm) takes a while for it to return to just a little below 2000 and when I engage the gear it comes down between 1200-1500. Now my concerns are
1. The rpm thing wasn’t an issue before the servicing, and I believe a servicing should help a car and not bring up stuff like this, right?
2. The car GULPS fuel! Way too much, because even though this is the first car I’ve owned, I’ve driven one before and it wasn’t even half this bad. Why is this? Because according to him the ‘catalyst’ is still present in the car. (He helped me buy the car)
3. I noticed he used an oil that says ‘5W-30 synthetic’ during the servicing, but on the engine cover ‘5W-20’ is inscribed there and I figured that what we should have gone with. Could that be a problem?
4. As an inexperienced first time owner of a vehicle, what mistakes might I have made and how do I not make decisions that’ll frustrate me in the future?

Thanks so much everyone and I look forward to your help and tips! God bless!

I am currently facing a similar but more severe issue.

I am also a first time car owner, here are my issues:

1. Got a 2008 Nigerian used honda accord car on 22nd Dec 2021 for N1.8m
2. I went with a friend who has been driving honda cars for over 11yrs, he brought his mechanic that has been fixing his car for over seven years.
3. Him and the mechanic confirmed the car ok before I paid, though the car was making noise but the car dealer convinced us that it was just a catalyst that we need to buy.
4. The mechanic drove the car to his workshop to do the necessary servicing and to fix the catalyst, I transferred 120k to him to buy and change everything necessary, he checked the legs, fixed new catalyst, changed the tires and changed oil using 5W-30 oil since we could not get the 5w-20.
5. After servicing the car that same day, the noise reduced but still loud, the car also vibrate on ac and on idle, I took the car back to the mechanic, he was afraid to tell me that it is an engine problem.
6. So I called the car dealer, he brought his mechanic and they confirmed that the noise is coming from the oil pump and top, I gave him 50k to change it on 28th December 2021.
7. On 20th January 2022 the same sound returned, this time it was louder, I took it to the mechanic and it was the oil pump again, this time, the price of oil pump has increased because I went with them to buy it myself, I spent 60k to fix the oil pump again on 25th Jan 2022
8. Fast forward to yesterday, 6th Feb 2022, the sound returned again.
9. Today 7th January 2022, I took it to the same mechanic, he said the parts seller sold bad oil pump to me that I should tell him to change it for me, the parts dealer is insisting that the oil pump he sold to me was ok.
9. The parts dealer brought his mechanic, they call the Mechanic 'Awilo' at Willoughby here at Oyingbo, Awilo said that he'll have to dismantle the engine in order to confirm every fault with the car, but he's suspecting that the crankshaft will be bad, that I should budget N200k.
10. I went back to the mechanic, and he advised me that I should not allow them to dismantle the engine that he is very sure that the problem is the oil pump.
10. With all the repairs that has been going on, the car still make a very loud vibration except when on motion, the ac cools well only when on motion or when the weather is cold i.e morning and evening time

Dear Nairalanders, I am regretting the fact that I used my money to go and buy wahala worth N1.8m, you guys should please help me with what I can do. I live around Oyingbo, Lagos.

Sorry. You have spent almost the amount for a direct Tokumbo. Once you have money, always buy direct. Most of these Naija used big cars are problem waiting to be transferred.

hope it was not a planned work, that accord is very reliable.you should have scanned it before you paid for it. But I understand that you relied on your friend.sorry for your experience.i suggest you give it to a better mech to diagnose it and you will know the specifics to fix or change.The mech should have a good scanner too.

I took the car to him again and he scan, the only code seeing is the Oxygen sensor and he said Oxygen sensor is useless when the car does not have catalyst in it

Not true. Both have different work. The oxygen sensor is responsible for the black smoke. Change it.
