Please help...I drive Honda accord 1995 (bull dog), though bought from someone. At the point of purchase, the oil gauged well. And after 2 week, I noticed the oil was short and I decided to change the oil. The Mechanic told me he bought one 'WHIZ oil' (4 litres). then 2 week after I travelled to Ibadan from lagos and when I got back, I realised the oil was very very low ( no leakage at all). So I later called the former user to ask him the kind of oil he normally use to service the car and he said visco 2000. please do you think going back to visco 2000 can solve this problem?

Hello guys please i need help, I have a 2008 Honda Accord EX-L, for some time I've noticed that my radiator fan does not come on while my car is on even after running for a long while, but immediately i switch on the AC both the radiator and condenser grabs come on and remain on, if i switch off the AC both fans go off.
Little research I've don't on the Internet suggest that is the Engine Coolant Temperature ECT sensor thats probably bad.

Anyone here who has experienced similar problem
Please help.

After driving round on hot day, stop and turn off A/C leave the car to idle for 10 mins, if the fan does not come on atleast once then there is a problem.

While driving you will not know it it came on or not. Only a few times does mine come on while driving less than 20km/hr which i notice it, usually it stays in for like 10-15secs and go off.

If your temperature guage never goes beyond its usual position, i doubt if there is a problem. If the fan wasnt coming on, your car will definately over heat especially right after you accelerate.

I have had a blown fuse of the A/C fan blower which shares the same fuse with the radiator fans, my car over heated right after i accelerated. The car over heated within 2mins of that acceleration.

tsiriman:


I think why my car never over heated was because i always drive my car with the AC on and both fans work with the AC on.
I only noticed that the radiator fan was not working while warning the car in the morning for some days now. Normally the fan is suppose to come on after idling for a while but does not come on and the temperature still stays at the middle.

adanny01:


No, i dont think so.

Do you have bluish smoke in mornings or during the day?

tholuxanny:
Thanks for attending to my prob.
when i press the throttle, i see the blue smoke... ( note the car doesnt smoke unless i ref).

Just got my Honda suspension check result from an auto workshop in lagos. This are the results:

1. Complete lower arm - 100,000
2. Front disc resurfacing - 8,000
3. Front brake pads - 12,500
4. Balancing and alignment - 4,000

The vehicle is a honda accord 2008, 2.4L 4cyl.

Please where can I get the named parts and how much are they? I know the auto workshop is overpriced.

Thanks

adanny01:


Complete lower arm 100k, wow, i rather order the oem part myself than pay that huge sum only for them to install a china replica worth 15k or less. That arm consist of 3 bushings and replaceable at not more than 15k both. You only need the complete arm if its bent or damaged from an accident. The ball joint is the point of concern which you must be weary of fakes that could pull off or break. Thats why i go for tokumbo instead.

Disc resurfacing should not be up to 8k.

Please help...........I drive a 2000 honda accord but lately, I noticed that if I start the car and leave it on idle run for like 5mins, the rev goes up and down as if the throttle pedal is being pressed. Though the check engine light is not on but I know this is an anomaly. Experts in the house, please help.

Idle control needs cleaning.

Then do general servicing - change or clean plugs, change oil and change air filter as well.

Nothing to fret over.

Hi all

I have an issue with my Honda Accord 2007 LX. I washed the engine at a car wash last sunday. Upon driving back home. I noticed i cant speed above 3000 RPM... The gear changes from 1 - 2 - 3 smoothly but when the RPM reaches 3000.. its jerks and drops to 2000..

Any possible solution?

i would say your car is working normally, if you had said that when you put on the ac only one fan comes on then you can say you have a problem. for now i guess your car works fine. i drive a 2004 honda accord lx and my radiator fans come on only when my ac is on
