Fancy4:
Please house, my honda city brought up the P0658 code all of sudden and the car just went off. No light on the dashboard,no spark on the battery, even the gauges remained where they are when the car went off.
Any help on this please.

Did you recently do any form of electrical wiring on your car??

This issue is an electrical issue and your car is having low voltage/voltage outage. Your actuators and brain box is your starting point of examination.

However, since there is no spark on your battery, it can also be a case of your alternator not charging at all (I had same experience in the past too where my vehicle died in motion because there was a bridge in the fuse box which stopped my alternator from functioning).

I'm sure a competent rewire can trace the issue easily, since it involves voltage supply.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

HELLO GUYS PLEASE I NEED HELP.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A CAR AFTER SOME DAYS I DISCOVERED THAT WHENEVER I ON HEADLIGHTS THE CAR WILL OFF. I THINK ITS PROBABLY WEAK BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR NOT CHARGING.

NOW IF ITS WEAK BATTERY, WHAT ;
* PRODUCT/MODEL CAN YOU RECOMMEND FROM EXPERIENCE?
* ANY IDEA OF THE COST?

You should get a rewire first to inspect your alternator and charging components first. It might be a fuse issue or other issues which would not need you spending close to 100k for battery or alternator replacement.

Kwayet. The ba3 is flat and expired

Pls people,what is the permanent solution to the tire/wheel problems and pulling out ?

Cryomancer:
How did you come to the conclusion that the non follow come radiator might have a direct link with your fuel consumption?

Anyway, to the best of my knowledge, of radiator has anything to do with fuel consumption, then it means you need to check if your thermostat is in place or your fan has been directly wired. Once your thermostat has been bypassed, your fan blows without stop and your engine can never attain optimum temperature in that manner, which in turn causes your ECU to send signal to burn more fuel to try to get the engine to its recommended temperature.

Also, concerning getting a catalytic converter, if funds is not gonna be an issue, I'll advise you leave that spacer and get a china catalyst instead. I bought same and currently using it without any check engine lights on my dashboard.

For fuel concerns, also try to look at your 02 sensors, EGR, injector head, plugs and ensure that they are all in perfect condition or else, some of these things if not in proper working condition might also impact negatively on your fuel consumption.

Just scan the car, get codes if any, and treat them one after the other.

I presently use EOD too, and I hope my little knowledge helps.

Pls how do one permanently solve this Honda leg problem especially with eod?

No permanent solution. It's an engineering error that you can only manage by routine checks and maintenances. Just pray the ball joint no pull where Otaku boys dey if not you go curse the day you bought the car

To solve it,always have the ball joints checked every 3 months. Jack up the car,inspect the rubber boots for oil spillage

What are the normal general maintenance look out for eod ?

Comparing it with corolla 2006 , what are eod advantages over it and other vehicles one can easily point to?

Jus a lil slight groundclearance. Even the so called corolla has seen ball joint failure. How u will know your tyre would pul out,the steering ould be ver ver light,like as if its plastic check your ball joints both lower and upper. Uper is on top of tyre.the rubber bushings might have worn out. Even acura tsx,honda crosstour,lexus es 350,is,hummer,rav 4 till 2006 model,lexus rx all have ball jint failure

My brother no be lie u talk mehn..

The eod I'm talking about is left in my care by my youngest brother who relocated so I'm looking at keeping it or selling it but the car looks ok but I g seen the leg issues lots of time .
For this tax regime person need get sense ..
Make I dey manage my beloveth Avensis .

Moreso
My woman had the discussion continues two years ago and I wasn't around then ,it was consuming too much fuel to the point that she kept fuel in her boat.
Usually was stopping her on the way and she had throttle to safe place with some other issues to until I advice her to sell it off to her mechanic..
I think the best I can do is scan the car and see .


Thanks

Also note

The car looks fine but very cheap in price so selling it won't be up to 2m

The one my woman bought was 1.8m and it is as a higher version than this so you can see that comparing it with other cars like Corolla,it's a difficult option to call

If I'm to be objective in my response. Just sell off the car and have peace of mind.

From your write up, you won't be able to maintain a Honda vehicle, because it doesn't condone abuse and if you abuse the car, it will deal with you just like it dealt with your wife.

Just stick with Toyota which can withstand abuse for several years.

Nobody sells a good working EOD for 2m, even those with poor engine performance and body sells above 2m at the moment, so if you're willing to sell yours for 2m, it an indication of something hidden.

I wish you the best.

My brother, truth is that ,I don't like stress over machines

Once e pass fuel car,change oil,b fix tires and regular routine maintenance for car ehn ,u see .. fix this one today, check that one tomorrow, e fit be this one and that one , omo I no get that time oo

This is also the reason I hate generators , I don't use generator even though I v two .. I prefer solar .. service this, fuel don finish, rinse this ,do that


Personally I work inside an engine room and I don't even like it . Abi na d noise greasy nonsense

Imagine facing all the engine issues and running a vessel engine room .. Abeg


Way back my woman had used Honda Civic cope , though bought new , it didn't give issues at all untill about 5 years back she dropped the car . The civic was rugged ,no issues I can tell you

How can 4 plugs chop fuel. The plugs were bad and carbon filled and also the absence of catalyst....dirty maf sensor,dirty 02 sensors. Once I drive andi come back,esp almost 3 hrs drive and I put the gear on idle. If the rpm stays below 1000 rpm ,I know my plugs are fouled with carbon. The following day,i loose them all and clean them shapely then rinse with petrol and install back. I hate mechanics,rewires and all cos na beer money de de collect from my hand, unless the fix pass my knowledge.i go call and its usually ball joint,shocks,belt,ac gas,brake pads,linkage,bushings,the restlike theottle body,,coils,battery terminals,radiator,condenser,fuel pumps,fuses,radio install,back cam,etc i do it myself bro . Dc no be fuel guzzler .mei dey drive v6 and my fuel must not pass half tank..so i notnally top up 6k,5k..i no ean dey hear say fuel pass half mark.

Good morning people. Please I need help. Don't really understand what is happening to my 2003 Honda Accord EOD. It consumes oil alot. Note the car is not smoking and works fine with excellently chilling Ac. The problem is that once I change the engine oil, within three weeks there will be shortage. The oil level goes below the last hole on the oil dipstick. I use Total Quartz 20w 50 oil for the engine. Kindly assist and advise so I can know what to do.

Hmmm... Bros you've been using a wrong oil type and I suspect this is the genesis of the problem you're experiencing.

How long have you been using this 20w-50??

You may end up buying a new engine Chief.

Almost a year

Still enough time to have done damage, considering the fact that the car wasn't bought brand new.

I'll advise you revert to the factory 5w-20 or 5w-30, since you've been using a heavy oil already, just to see if it could help remedy the situation. But if it doesn't work after 4 months, just save up for a new engine.

This is very dangerous, if the oil level goes below the last hole on the oil dipstick . You could knock your engine and destroy it .
I would suggest you stop driving the car until you find the source of the leak, or at least check it every morning and top it up if you have to.

20W 50 isn't the right oil for your vehicle, it would stress your engine . Use 5w-20(hard to find) or 5w-30

Also check your PCV valve , the issue might be as simple as cleaning it

You may also have a leak in a place that is not very obvious . Check the following

1. You may have very slow leaks from slack valve cover gasket. Look round the valve cover and check for leaks.
2. Your vtec solenoid gasket may also be slack, this one is hard to spot because its at the back of the engine . You can use a mirror for this .
3. Check if your oil filter was tightened well and there is no leak. if the gasket between the filter and the mating surface is not seated properly there would be leaks
4. Check the oil drain plug as well.

I have had leaks from the first 2 items listed above and changed them myself, it was relatively easy.

Ogbeni ypu eod has a leak. Check the oil sump bolts with throttle body bolts. It might have a leak,also check your exhaust bolts where you have the vacuum hose which houses the air flow meter,those are 3 places oil escapes thru,also check your belt seals bolts,those places are where oul leaks,there should be signs on the ground.my own meko lost a bolt to my throttle body and al broke an oil pan bolt. I did servicing in January and till now I've lost almost 2 litres. Not had time to source for the bolts but still my oil is about middle pin ,last pin is below it and I could see traces of oul leak once engine is parked,it drops dot dot for like 10mins. Anytime I park.so check those places I highlighted. U will see signs of oil leak.no let your engine go knock. Eod engine is almost 1.2m and e no get guarantee. Better use your head.dont be careless

Someone said he dey use thick oil 20w50 and the oil dey dry up under 3 weeks,u come dey advice am make he use 5w30. E go dry up within 3 days,5w30 oil wey light like werey..no be mouth. He has an oul leak or valve seals leak or basically exhaust bolts leak. Im speaking from experience.e pay make u get leak from 10mm bolt than a 22 mm bolt. E go drain all the oil complete.

Good day my people, my inner rear mirror got detached, which gum can I use to reattach it.

Hmmm... Why not clip it back in instead. I once used a gum to fix same issue and when the morrow finally broke, it refused to come out for me replace just the mirror. I had to buy the full side mirror unit again.

If you want to use gum, please ensure it's a light gum that won't be hard to take off in case you want to change only the mirror. Don't make the mistake I made.

Where I usually park the car there is usually no oil drops on the ground. When I said the oil drys up I don't mean that there is no oil at oil. There is oil just that it goes below the last hole on the dip stick. Usually top it with the remaining one litre left when I did servicing.
