Thanks for your feedback. I align with you about the tokumbo being a lemon. But we must move.

Answering your questions.
1) how long after tokunbo swap did this start?
About 8 months after

2) why did you drain the type H?
Vehicle had a wiring issue, car went into limp mode, it was smelling burnt after wiring was fixed, plus it was around 3000 +/- 200 miles due for service.

3) where did you get the dw-1?
From oyingbo (luvinhubby)

4) what was the timing of the roll back?
Roll back was noticed about a week ago. My wife has been using the truck recently, I noticed when I drove it that it was displaying a familiar mileage. And its same mileage on both trips A and B.

I'm confident your workshop can handle the rebuild, I'm just not confident about my pocket. If you would have me, I'd like to schedule an appointment.

Regards

Good day everyone, I drive an 08 Honda Accord V6, I recently gave my mechanic to scan the vehicle and fix it , because the Check engine light was on, after about 4 days with the vehicle he brought it back, and after i drove the car for about 3hrs the Check engine light came back, and just yesterday I noticed the car is also overheating, since I got the car, this is the first time its overheating, I'm just tired and confused, don't know what to do. Would appreciate some good advice here.

AutoMoTech:
OH YEAH... thats true. but i felt it wouldnt be wise making a conclusion only based on just one module scan result. don't you think it would be wise to see other codes in other modules to give a better diagnosis process?

erico2k2:
It would be same as the ones from America

AutoMoTech:
EPS or ESC?

Peejaygold09:
Good morning. Yes vehicle has been scanned. Car was bought brand new on hire purchase.
Car has only was hit from behind and it hot another car about 4 years ago
Power steering performs very well. It only becomes stiff when the eps light comes up
Thank you

Run. Or you tell the seller to use his money to fix it and you pay in full when the car is repaired and tested.

good day everyone. i have a troublesome one on my hands.
i drive a 2006 honda ridgeline (meticulously maintained) which recently started experiencing neutral drop out on the (less than a year) tokumbo transmission. This means the gear gets into neutral when i come to a stop or really slow down. It only revs and does nothing until its thrown to park or neutral, then it drives till another random time. This used to be once in a while till i decided to replace transmission fluid with genuine dw1 (the other oil i"ve used is Car quest's Type H ATF) and serviced the 2 switches. Instead of fixing the issue, it became worse. Now the transmission drops out into neutral at every stop.
Accompanied with these are a few other issues:
1. the drop-out is sometimes accompanied with rough idling and the car goes idle rpm hunting
2. my odometer was mysteriously rolled back from 250k plus to 220k plus suggesting a brain box malfunction
3. no CEL

Kindly advise sirs, are these issues connected or they are to be treated separately. Your advice/ guidance may save me thousands of Naira.
Have i lost my gear or will repairing make some sense, (how much does a BJFA or MJFA h5 transmission cost?)

Well for someone who has been close to the oil industry you need to examine both .... you'll be surprised!

Smartchoiice:
Yours is too expensive.

blackfm:
I know lol, I actually have a scanner, it's not throwing any codes.
For now I want to service and I don't want just anyone touching it. I reckon a Benz mech would be more knowledgeable on the right filter and Mobil 1 weight to use.
I checked online for the oil weight but I'm getting conflicting info, some say 5w30, some say 0w40. I dont want to make an uninformed choice

nitt:
going by your statement, what oil grade do you suggest i change to, after I make the needed piston rings and oil seals replacement on the car?

thebigkendo:

Same Oil brand from different country or region will come with a different packaging and maybe quality and price, doesn't mean one of them is counterfeit

Sheriff19:
Please, my VW golf 3 is overhearing and i have changed everything possible that has to do with the cooling system ( radiator, fan, thermostat e.t.c) every thing that has to do with the cooling system but the engine keep overheating. Please what is the solution.

IMOHS:
Please house I need advice, car will be shipped from usa, seller says repairs will be done in Nigeria within 48hrs. Do you think it's a good buy?

Hi guys, I'm buying my first car and I'm considering either bmw x3 2009 and Ford Edge 2009. Please advice. Thanks

taiyederek:
Madam Rad, just checking, do you have flatbed towing services? If yes, at how much

nitt:
Hi, I'm in a similar situation. My car is shorting oil and smokes when u rev it.

I want to replace the piston rings and other necessary parts then i plan to start using the recommended 5w30.

Is this adviceable?. The car is a 2005 honda accord i4, had her for 9 years now.

gunzANDroses:
When you say expensive, is it more expensive than mobil1? The dealer sold this for 11k. The German Adler was for 10k. However, the liquid moly is APN SN+ and ILSAC GF-5. Could be packaging.

My last oil change was mobil1, and I used it since June last year, but just last week the maintenance light came up.

Should in case of next time what would you recommend that is not Mobil1 but meets the condition you highlighted (the bolde)?

I can comfortably do 11k, that is my budget. So whichever oil you list should fall within this price range

Thanks.

gunzANDroses:
Please ma, enlighten me. Is it a bad oil? Checked online and didn't see any negative press about the oil. Thanks.

temi4fash:
Good morning madam,

Please I recently got an Honda City 2007, it's my first car, I dont know the oil that has been used before but I [b]noticed the oil has dropped below the guage poin[/b]t. And the car doesn't smoke.

The recommended oil i saw online is 5W40 and another place 5W30. Which do you advise is right and can I start using it immediately.
