Dragging sound.bad wheel hub,bad bushings,bad ball joints,or could be bad and broken mud guards/inner fender guards rubbing against tyres.

TaylorB94:
Good evening, Seniors.

I hail everyone.

Please, my Honda Accord 2008 started making a sound like a dragging sound when I'm driving. Even when I'm not applying the Brake, the sound keeps coming like something is dragging under my car.

What is the likely issue please? Has anyone encountered this before. I want to have an idea of the issue before I take the car to a mechanic.

Thank you Sirs.

I greet you all specially my Ogas.

My Honda Accord DC 2007 consume so much Fuel.

I’ve heard that even if a car doesn’t have catalytic converter (indomie), it should consume fuel.

Please can anyone tel me what the problem could be

Nobody can tell you what it is. Buy a scanner, scan vehicle and post codes to determine the reason for the high fuel consumption

very reliable with bullet proof engine. Don't change your transmission fluid with anything other than original Honda ATF DW1 as the transmission is sensitive.
Next is to be weary of the shaft, always replace with original parts when it is worn out china brand new alwats collapse in limited space of time.

Apart from that, other known issues are very minor and are caused by wear and tear and the normal condition of our roads

I have an open roof,tho the nuttons or fuse don sapa,but i did not bug myself to fix it,yet wayer still drops from passengers top,panel has used gum but seems the top roof glass needs to open out. I have done nothing but ignore it. Open roof no good for rain i swear. My seats don soak taya..as forndextron 2,since na toyota no nn3d to waste big money on top gear oil.oando dey dia.no level

My Maintenance Tips:

1.) Change Engine Oil every 3000km (I use Mobil)
2.) Use Oando's Dexron II for the Gear Box (Abro will knock your gear) - (already mentioned)
3.) While driving be mindful not to always turn the steering to the last possible angle(helps the shaft)
4.) If you have an open roof, periodically clean the drainage hole to avoid water leaking into the car
5.) Vibrating Sound infront of the car? Check your engine sitting(already mentioned)
6.) Your single pipe radiator which used to work might not be the cause of your current over-heating...Check your water pump!
7.) Your car is not accelerating according to pedal pressure? Timing Belt might be the culprit.

Just my 2cents guys. Hope this helps someone. I luv this thread like I luv my Honda.

There’s this jerk when my car shifts gear, sometimes multiple jerks when driving. Rpm meter also fluctuates when such occurs. Thought it was fuel line issue so I changed fuel filter & spark plugs. Issue still persists. Ran a scan yesterday and the mechanic says fault is from the gear box though he wasn’t specific and says he doesn’t work gear boxes. I’ve already ordered for the dw1 oil for an oil change but I’m afraid if issue persists afterwards I may begin to consider a gear box replacement. Scary! Anyone experienced this before?
The car is a 2016 accord v6

Check your vehicle speed sensor make sure it's working well. Also check the one at the wheel, sometimes kazeems cut the wire mistakingly and tell you it doesn't matter. Both can cause the symptoms you mentioned.

I can smell petrol from radiator cap


I have Honda Accord 2011 and have been having some problem. The car was overheating, so the gasket was changed. But 2 days after, I started the car but won't start. I took the batter to charger and was charged. The car start. Now it won't start a day after. I open the radiator cap and can smell petrol. Can it be the gasket is blown again? Or not well fixed?

The engine oil cap is clean and no water in the engine

They don cast tour engine. .next dem go say fuel pump,nozzles, then as usual brainbox...sorry your motor don go. Sell am,once aluminium engine overheats,its gone. The car stats developing dofferent faults.

My car AC is not very effective when the weather is hot. Even when I increase it to level 4.
I drive an accord 2015.
In the morning or late in the evening it's chills. That I can even run on level 1

I hear a click sound coming from the compressor, it comes on and goes off like every 20-30 seconds interval

I am unsure if this is coz the weather is just hot or the AC system is weak

If there is a recommended AC specialist please direct me to them

I refilled the air conditioning gas for my Honda Civic 03 using a large bottle cylinder.
However, while it was being refilled and after the refill I noticed the AC wasn't cooling properly. Is there a recommended refrigerant (gas) for a Honda Civic 03?"

Could be your compressor is not working

Hello guys Honda CRV 2007

Rpm is at 1500 on idle both at cold and hot


D light flashing after driving the car for about 30minites ,stop flashing when ever I parked , immediately I start driving again may be 5minutes from parking the D light will be flashing, it won't stop unless I turn off Engine

For the rpm scan the vehicle for codes.

For the blinking D light, check the transmission fluid if it is guaged, check color. Also you may need to drain and refill with DW1 if it has not been replaced before.

I would advice you stop driving vehicle to avoid damaging the transmission

Good morning bosses
I noticed my car honda DC 2006 shorts oil, I noticed this after the first oil change when the car was bought earlier this year.

I used hardex 5W 20, for the first service after the car was bought, after a while I noticed the oil level reduced, I thought I bought a fake oil, I drain the oil out and used mobil 2000 but the issue still persists.

Is it that the engine select oil? Anyone with solution please help!!!!

Thank you

That car has been abused by the previous owner more than likely using 20w50. It is too thick for the engine, by you reverting to the manufacturer recommended 5w20 is too late ,due to weak oil seal by 20w50...


You have few options here .......


1. Start using 20w50 and observe from there. If you notice blue smoke coming from the tail pipe, the engine is on its last leg...

2. Sell the car and count your losses

3. Go look for a tokunbo engine Grade A if you can find one. And if you do make sure you use the recommended oil 5w20.

Thanks boss, i really appreciate your suggestions.

I was able to get across the previous user, and like you've said 20W 50 has been the oil used in the car. I'll revert back to the oil been used and check from there. Also, there's no smoke from the tail pipe yet as i constantly check it as i drive.

Lastly boss,
I noticed after driving a while once I step on brake at traffic light, the engine shakes/vibrates, same thing when I climb speed bump and at times this makes the engine shut down.

My kazeem said engine seats are bad, and its the culprit. Can this be possible? Cos I'm tired of their trial and error method...

Thank boss
Much respect.

Your mechanic might be rite. It could be the engine seat.

Alright.

Hi guys.
I drive a honda accord discussion continue 2007
I recently observed that when driving with the AC on, the temperature guage rises above the half benchmark, but once I put off the AC, the guage comes down almost immediately.

Also this doesn't happen when I am driving at a free road, everything is fine if there is no traffic and AC is on.
But once I am in a stop and move traffic and AC is on, temps starts shooting until I switch off the AC before it goes down.
Please what could I be looking out for?
Thanks

The cooling fans are set to low.
Thus it's spinning at full capacity..
That's the reason in holdup and AC..the temperature will surely rise..
On speed, the draft of air coming in will cool the system..but on reaching holdup..lolz.
It happened to my MDX.
I was at loss of words..
I cleaned, flushed and even changed radiator and even used coolant
Cleaned and changed thermostat,
Nothing..
Until I just stumbled on it.
I just noticed that the fan speed was the same when I switched on the AC.
Discovered the fuse controlling the high speed was damaged.. repaired it and the wahala disappeared..
Check the fan speed first .
Make sure it's faster than the normal thermostat controlled one

The open roof needs to be opened and the drains flushed. It might have been clogged and that's why water is overflowing into the car. Have it checked and ruled out/in as the cause.

Car fans don't have low or high.
I think what you actually had was one fan that was not working. If you did all you did without first checking your fans, then I have no word for you and your mechanic.

One of your fans is not working. Go and fix it.

MajorB009:
Yes, both fans are working
Even when I am on a stop and move traffic, the temperature is stable when AC is off, temperature rises only when I put on the AC.
The radiator has been washed, both fans are working pretty well.
I just can't pinpoint what actually is making the temps go up whenever I put on the AC

If it only overheats when you are in slow traffic, then your fans are not working well. Be sure they are blowing in the right direction.
The only difference between slow traffic and free traffic is the amount of air that flows through the radiator. Your fans are supposed to circulate air when you are not moving fast.

MajorB009:
Update, had to get the OBD diagnostic tool and the fault code displayed one of this

P2185 [0x2185]
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor 2 - circuit high
Status: Confirmed

Could this be the likely cause of the increase in temperature while the AC is on?

If so how do I resolve this pls

Oga, I'm very sure your fans are not working well. Stop giving us wrong information while expecting us to help you. YOUR FANS ARE NOT WORKING WELL.
Your ECT2 sensor is what controls your fans. If it is faulty, your fans can't work. Unless your mechanic has bypassed it to make the fans run permanently then you might be having an intermittent stoppage of one fan. I'm sure you also don't have a thermostat.
Bypassing the ECT2 sensor to make the fans run permanently will overwork the fans. This will make them wear out fast. One or both fans may be stopping when hot and you might not know.
Fix your ECT2 sensor and watch your fans closely.
