I've changed 2 Tokunbo this year already and that rattle noise has started again. I'll keep managing till I'm able to import or get someone do it for me.

As regards the belt, I've been connected to dealers in Lagos, they just don't come cheap.

Thank you.

Nothing is wrong with your present tensioner/adjuster if it's "that rattle noise".
Your current belt is stretched out.
You'll need a 2160 or 2165 belt.

I'm in Lagos, and I repeat there's no OEM 7pk 2170 belt. Even tokunbo is scarce.


I'm assuming you haven't distorted your belt/pulley arrangement.

I'll be on the search for Tokunbo belt then. Also, the Allen key bolt holding the adjuster, can you recommend a seller I can buy from as I intend changing the bolt. I'm in Oyo town.

Thank you.

The bolt is available in ladipo/Oyingbo, Lagos.
Max 2k.

It should be cheaper to buy from your location.

Cheers

Who has an experience on using new engine mounts for their K24 engines?

Does it work well?

Will see if I can get it for you

Pls,

I recently bought a 2006 Honda Civic, and one of the first things I noticed is that the fan is connected directly. My scan result also shows two codes — P2413 and P2185. I usually scan my car and tell my mechanic what to fix based on the codes generated, and that approach has been working for me.

Now, he agrees with me on the first code, which relates to the EGR, but he doesn’t want to return the fan to its factory setting. I’d rather have that done elsewhere.

I need a good mechanic around the Ogba/Abule Egba axis who can sort this out for me. I don’t want to argue with this Azeem. I understand gassuz doesn’t like working on this car.

The fuel consumption is high. I used 17 litres of fuel from challenge ibadan to abule Egba, and my calculation is around 17mpg. Around 75 miles journey 90% highway.

There's a reason the previous owner altered the wiring of the cooling system.
Look deeply .

Yeah. That could be cooling sensor or thermostat failure leading to overheating. I can't just continue with this arrangement.

Resolve that first before reverting back to original wiring setting.

You need @jceesquare

Fan xirect commection is not hard to revert back. Look for where rhey connected the earth too. Remove it ..but the fuse back and insert it. But by doing so. Your car go do overheating. Better leave the fan connection that way if not them go scatter the car give u. Its an old car with old worn out parts.wirh fake naija fuel.better relax and manage it that way.

I never heard of Mobil 5w40 3000 ... You should have stuck to the 20w50. Your engine is used to that oil .. either way that car will eventually starting smoking,even if you use 20w50

This is wrong.

dru23:
If you want to leave long and see your grand children, stay away from naija used cars ..... A word is enough for the wise....... Honda are usually good cars and the crosstour is very reliable, hopefully the transmission no go get issues, Honda are funny like that. If you get transmission issues mechanic will say na that man wey him Honda dey always give him transmission wahala ... You will not like yourself, and God help you if na naija used u go buy.. you will truly not like yourself..


But if na fresh tokunbo na oil change and check coolant level. And also check transmission fluid..

Car engine cost now ... You need to be wise

Once again, this is wrong. Unnecessary exaggeration.

dru23:
7 out of 10 naija used cars are problems that the owners couldn't longer deal with. So the car is sold to the next mugu .. And the circles continues and continues.............
Even when buying tokunbo is a risk also, but it is calculated risk .. So na to choose your poison


The cars I had were bought tokunbo and were used for Uber. I end up selling them all and I maintain them very well ......

So what you are say is that the person that bought your used cars will not live to see his grand children. Right?
Sometimes we open our mouth an talk trash just to sound wise but we end up sounding very silly.

Nigerian kazeems are at it again.

I'm not saying you are wrong. But a lot of times, the reason is simply "Nigeria weather dey hot pass America".

Nigerian weather Hot pass middle eastern weather too.


I laugh when I hear people utter this sheer ignorance.

You'll need a 2160 or 2165 belt.

You're correct about the adjuster, I recently changed mine to as advised by mech due to the noise but sadly it remain same until another mechanic told me the belt is big and he changed it to a smaller size and the nosie went away, though recent the noise returned but very little compare to when before. Pls I also need the compressor and will be glad if you can share contact of your reliable source.

Hello guys, i am having an issue with my car. it is a 2008 acura tsx with an automatic transmission. It actually started recently.
At cold start, when i switch to reverse, it wont move till i step on the throttle and then you hear this low thud and it moves. once you start driving it, you wont feel that issue again untill you park it for a long time say over night. I has no driveability problems and this issue happens only during reverse at cold start. i have checked the transmission fluid and it still looks okay. I serviced it last july of 2022 with honta atf dw-1. I have taken it to a scan center seeing that my personal scanner is a small one and cant read transmission codes and it was scanned. it didnt throw up any code. i am confused on what to do next.
1) should i drain the fluid and change it and the filter? that might involve bringing the gear down as the filter as i learnt is inside the gear.
2) i spoke with a gear mechanic i saw one day working at ladipo. he says he works on only honda gears and was actually working on that of a pilot when i saw him. he is yet to see the vehicle but said he suspects it is the gear selector switch that might be having an issue.

i need suggestions from anyone who has had this sort of experience.

Do you park your car with hand brake?

Yes. All the time.

Okay, it's not a gear issue, it's the hand brake that does that, it happens to me sometimes especially when i parked overnight

That is when it happens after I parked overnight. I will try not using the hand-brake for the rest of the week and observe.

Did you change your brake linings recently?
