On a recent journey between Uyo and Lagos via Port Harcourt, I got into a deep valley along the road where half of the car was submerged in mud mixed with diesel from a tanker that fell. It caked my radiator and condenser with a mix of mud and diesel....I have to take down the front bumper to give both a thorough wash....as using a/c creates an overheating situation. Sorry bad things happen. I have other stories under my belt so that is why I now permanently travel with a toolbox weighing over 20kg so I can tackle anything along the way. 5 Likes |

50 km from Ore Vehicle started overheating again. We managed it to Pre where a mechanic checked and said it was the top cylinder and it had to be ordered from Benin. I had an important meeting early Tuesday morning so I decided to manage the vehicle. 1. Don't drive above 50km. 2. Stop every one hour for the engine to cool down then top with water. That was the strategy.

LESSON FOR DISCUSSION If your vehicle breaks down on a trip and it's a serious issue, never ever give it to the road side guys. Tow it to a reliable garage. 2 Likes |

The engine of this city is a strong one, you must have paid less attention to the temperature and cooling system. I know money is not that easy to get. the engine of this car costs between 65k-75k.. If it's your car, get a replacement engine and enjoy the 'fuel repelling' Honda city. E Pele sir |

oride:Sorry brother But towing on the highways can be expensive.... |

If they wan later sell this car for Nairaland now they ll say ' buy and drive' no issue to fix  3 Likes |
| Re: From Port Harcourt To Lagos And Back by oride(op): 8:46am On Oct 03, 2018 |
idu1:I wanted to put it up for sale before but not anymore. I've fallen for it. The engine is quite forgiving and the fuel economy is better than a Corolla by far. I'm fixing and keeping it. |
| Re: From Port Harcourt To Lagos And Back by oride(op): 8:47am On Oct 03, 2018 |
AutoElectNG:It really is but it's cheaper in the long run. |
| Re: From Port Harcourt To Lagos And Back by idu1(m): 8:51am On Oct 03, 2018 |
oride:which year is it and the engine capacity? |
| Re: From Port Harcourt To Lagos And Back by brojero: 9:03am On Oct 03, 2018 |
oride:Most likely the cylinder head warped from the original gasket failure. When you replace, check the head with a metal straight edge to be sure it doesn't have the same problem |
| Re: From Port Harcourt To Lagos And Back by oride(op): 11:30am On Oct 03, 2018 |
brojero:You are very correct. |
