Please does anyone know the average cost of ringing Honda Accord 05? |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Abbeyismo(m): 4:47pm On Nov 08, 2025 |
RedChair:Depend on the cost of parts you want to use tho |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by RedChair: 9:47am On Nov 09, 2025 |
Abbeyismo:Thanks for your response. Can you give cost for a possible worst case scenario? |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Abbeyismo(m): 9:21pm On Nov 10, 2025 |
RedChair:At least 200-250k on parts without labour charge tho. Some technicians can charge you half of the cost of toks engine sha |

Abbeyismo:Ok, fair enough. Thanks for the response |

Why are panel beaters telling me I have to repaint the entire front bumper if I want to fix this scratch? Is there no way to fix and repaint only the affected part? Cc: Abbeyismo, 9icetoo

Alaye.u don't need to resist any shitt. Go and buy filler and some paper.and spray paint in can. Apply it and file it till the filler becomes smooth. Spray the affected area black first coating.second coating spray maroon. .it will later blend.total ud spend ahudnt exceed 5 to 6k If u wan spray whole bumper dem fit charge u 15 to 20k .it's not. Toks car.ao why the extra care. |

2cribz:E nor go ever later blend oga. However, I will still take your suggestion over repainting only the bumper. If only the bumper is repainted it will look very different compared to the entire body of the car and that is even worse IMO. So let him paint that small scratch [as it will be less conspicuous] until he is ready to repaint the entire car to achieve uniformity. |

I've been able to solve this with lubeguard shudder fix tho Grupo: |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Grupo(m): 9:37am On Nov 16, 2025 |
gemiclem:Good. So I was right about it being related to the torque converter. I remember I read on some foreign forums that adding some special oils to the transmission could fix it. Where did you buy the lube guard? |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Grupo(m): 9:38am On Nov 16, 2025 |
Hullabaloon:The panel beaters are right. |

Please guys help me with your genuine plug for car parts especially suspension parts ( shocks, etc). I don’t trust my mechanic in buying parts but I completely trust him in fixing it. So I buy the parts and I give him to install/fix. Thank you |

We all dread the unexpected car emergency Dealing with a faulty car is stressful enough. Given the high, unexpected costs of towing, plus the risk of being forced to use an unknown and unprofessional mechanic around, do you think paying a small, consistent monthly fee is a worthwhile investment to ensure your car is towed safely and professionally to a repair shop you trust? |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Babatundehy: 12:16pm On Nov 19, 2025 |
topsydee007:Quite a nice idea, the big issue here is trust, will the subscribers be able to get this service they'll be paying for whenever they need it? How sure are the subscribers that the people behind this emergency tow service will not disappear with their money? Integrity is the biggest problem in this part of the world, people do whatever they like since the justice system itself is sh!t, the one with the heavier wallet gets to laugh last, look at the third party insurance scam supported by the state and several other enforcement agencies, how many Nigerians have benefitted from these subscriptions? This is exactly why people aren't motivated to make these payments, they will rather choose to hand out a 500 naira bill to the officer on the road. There are many good business ideas, ideas that'll make life a lot easier, especially in Nigeria, but what is the position of the law on scam companies, powerful people milking the ordinary citizens and abusing power? The people must be convinced they'll get their money's worth in promised services, I will not pay a dime for such a service until I'm convinced value for my money is certain. |

Helped my neighbour scan his car and we got this code Can someone please share insights

| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Louiscars: 10:46am On Nov 20, 2025 |
oladele239:What car is this sir, does he have issues with stalling or maybe not shifting past a gear. - for the p0010 it could be caused by a couple of things, actuator might be bad, timing issues is probable also. - you have a downstream 02 sensor fault, it is probably bad - for the IAT SENSOR, most likely a bad Maf sensor ( if integrated together with the iat sensor ) and it can also affect fuel economy Last code is related to the Input speed sensor, a basic step is inspecting the sensor and it’s wiring |

How long should I change manual gear transmission fluid? And is it true that you don't change gear oil, you only top it? |
| Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by nurey(m): 11:23am On Nov 21, 2025 |
invincible007:Manual gear on like automatic is very rugged, check your owner manual for the change interval. Some suggest between 50k to 100k -km to change the fluid. If you have never changed yours b4 and the funds, fluid and technical know how is available, change it just to give it a fresh breathe of life say another 5yrs |

udosam:Ask Cars OGs around you, there's usually a shop that sells original parts, where you can buy parts, buying online is a lil bit expensive, although you'll get original too. Or state your location, so those people around you can properly advise. |
