A full tank is 70litres. That's an adults weight . Your coil springs are designed for comfort you can switch to stiffer springs with larger diameter and 215/65/16 tyres.
thank you

Hello all, I recently discovered a new product, this steam cleaner sanitizer. With the help of this equipment, house cleaning becomes times easier and faster, and most importantly much more effective. The steam generator does an excellent job of removing mold marks and can simplify the process of removing limescale. Combined with detergents, hot steam can be used to remove rust stains and urine stones. All in all, it is a very useful piece of equipment.

you will not find an OEM Hub, but bearings that will require special tools to install them. New OEM is always a better option if you can afford it.

I am not up to date with prices.

A little confused sir. You said I can't find an OEM hub, then said new one better if I can afford a new one.

Greetings to the house and everybody. You're all doing a great job here.

I have some issues with my car. It's a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe. I bought it Nigerian used last November.

Prior to buying the car, I have no knowledge of cars...heck, I didnt even know how to drive.

Lately, I've come to notice some problems with the car:
1. Whenever I change gear to reverse, it comes with an abrupt jerk and unpleasantly loud sound. I know cars jerk alittle when shifted to reverse, but this one is too much.

My mechanic had initially said it was engine seats, to which I have replaced them, all to no avail.

2. When driving, I periodically hear this sound underneath like the gear is trying/struggling to change. Something a bit similar to the reverse sound, but not too loud and doesnt jerk.

To this one, somebody said something about changing a gear sensor, but I'm not so keen yet; as I dont want anything that will involve me tempering with the gearbox.

3. Sometimes when cruising/accelerating, it comes to a point when the stops responding to throttle, rather it justs revvs high without corresponding acceleration. Until you allow it for a while, then gradually and slowly picks up speed.

All helpful inputs will be highly appreciated.

as a newbie did you go with a mech or car person to check before you bought the car?

Any good Honda tech will be able to sort out your Acura gear issues.

What are the issues you are currently experiencing?

Scan this car and post codes.

Your gear is flaring.

The codes will point to the gears which are flaring.

I have a few Hyundai Accents bought brand new in 2010. All of them have crossed the 150,000km mileage.

We noticed that their oil level drops considerably after servicing even when there is no leakage.

Our Mechanic is suggesting that we adopt an engine oil with thicker Viscosity and then add oil treatment. My little research reveals that we are better of with 10W 30 since the engines are old and operating in the tropics.

Can someone please provide us with some guidance here?

What oil has your mechanic been using?
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by jinka(m): 7:42pm On Jun 20, 2022
Good day good people

What do you think about having these items in the car?

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ONNYX: 7:51pm On Jun 20, 2022
GAZZUZZ:

Mobil 1.

But I don't think it's the synthetic type. The Invoices reflect 10,00 per 4 litre keg.

there was never a Mobil1/2.

Mobil1 sold for 12k last in 2015.

Your engines have been running mineral oil over the years. Rebuild or buy low mileage engines and monitor your oil changes religiously.
