That's usually the case with the original equipment spark plugs. There are cheaper ones available that fit that the car but those are the ones the manufacturer put in the car. The double platinums are only 3k.

Aunty Radautoworks it's no news that there was massive recalls to Honda Accord produced between 1999 - 2004 over faulty transmission. These transmission were known to fail under 90k miles. It's even surprising that this is coming from someone who stayed in the States and dealt on car repairs and the likes. It was even advisable to get it rebuilt when it fails, a skill set that is very scarce over here. I doubt there are Babyboy's that did 200k miles on the original auto tranny.

I won't argue with you, you can argue with these.

Take the car to Oyingbo and get it inspected, if the gearbox is not salvageable you would be told. Livinhubby can help you arrange a replacement. The baby boy is a sweet car with auto transmission design error. Therefore, you will enjoy the transmission but expect it to go bad after some 60,000 miles that's if you got a good one.

Secondly, stick to DW1 for the installation as well as for subsequent servicing.

Best of luck
So how do we explain all the ones in the USA that do 200k without issue?

If he's asking that question you seriously need another opinion.

They once did that of a friend since January ND he is still using it till now I remembered the guy bought comp ND condenser then to so I'm thinking if I change all that to the system sud become perfect and this leaking sud vanish

They said they will check the dashboard then also ND flush the system also
No need to do both unless both are damaged. Shops usually tell you to change both when they don't know what the actual problem is. Sure it fixes the problem but why pay so much. Get a third opinion. And before you buy any parts, have someone competent run a uv dye and/or stop leak. Dye will detect the leak and stop leak might fix your problem if it's a small leak.

its not illegal . anyone can help. its Just filling of an affidavit of support form to, just like a guarantor. sometimes strangers are more willing to help than people we know.
Oh, it's a lot more than that. You obviously don't know what you are asking.

By being a sponsor, you are saying you know and vouch for that person which is perjury. That person is tied to you almost permanently and your actions after then. You are responsible for that person's presence from that day forward. Commit a crime, guess whose house they go looking. Anything comes up, guess whose life they dig into.

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/free-books/fiance-marriage-visa-book/chapter3-5.html

Let's take a look at the legal implications of the Form I-864 Affidavit of Support. Signing one is a serious endeavor that should not be done lightly or with anything less than full trust in the immigrant's intentions. You should also attempt to read all the instructions that come with the form.

If you are the main sponsor, you might not have to fill out the long version of the form. Some sponsors get to use a considerably simpler Form I-864EZ rather than the Form I-864. If you are sponsoring only one immigrant, all your income comes from earnings or a retirement plan are shown on a W-2, and your income alone is enough to satisfy the required Poverty Guidelines levels, be sure to use this easier form! (For information on how much income you will need, see How Much Income an Immigrant's Sponsor Needs to Show According to the Poverty Guidelines.)

The U.S. Family Sponsor’s Obligations
The Form I-864 Affidavit of Support is a legally enforceable contract, meaning that either the government or the sponsored immigrant can take the sponsor to court if the sponsor fails to provide adequate support to the immigrant. In fact, the law places more obligations on the sponsor than on the immigrant—the immigrant could decide to quit a job and sue the sponsor for support.

When the government sues the sponsor, it can collect enough money to reimburse any public agencies that have given public benefits to the immigrant. When the immigrant sues, he or she can collect enough money to bring his or her income up to 125% of the amount listed in the U.S. government’s Poverty Guidelines (as shown in the chart in Form I-864P).

The sponsor’s responsibility lasts until the immigrant becomes a U.S. citizen, has earned 40 work quarters credited toward Social Security (a work quarter is about three months, so this means about ten years of work), dies, or permanently leaves the United States. If the immigrant has already been living in the U.S. and earned work credits before applying for the green card, those count toward the 40.

In fact, in marriage-based cases, work done by the U.S. petitioning spouse during the marriage can be counted toward these 40 quarters.

Even a bankruptcy does not necessarily end your I-864 obligations. Although most debts and contractual obligations are dischargeable in bankruptcy, so-called “domestic support obligations” are one exception. Such obligations are defined as alimony, maintenance, or support owed to or recoverable by one’s spouse, former spouse, or child. Under U.S. court decisions—for now—these also include I-864 support obligations.

caution

CAUTION

A sponsor in a marriage-based case remains legally obligated even after a divorce. Yes, a divorced immigrant spouse could decide to sit on a couch all day and sue the former spouse for support. (See Does I-864 Really Force Me to Support Immigrant Ex-Spouse Who Has Plenty of Money or Can Work?) The sponsor may wish to have the immigrant sign a separate contract agreeing not to do this, but it is not clear whether courts would enforce such a contract.

Who Can Serve as an Immigrant's Financial Sponsor
The person petitioning the immigrant and any additional financial sponsor(s) must meet three requirements to serve in this role. Each sponsor must be:

a U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident
at least 18 years of age, and
live in the United States or a U.S. territory or possession.
As a practical matter, of course, the sponsor will have to doing well financially to get the immigrant approved for a green card. Even if the sponsor’s income and assets are lower than the Poverty Guidelines demand, however, he or she must sign an Affidavit of Support. But in a case of low income, the sponsor will have to look for additional sponsors to help the foreign-born person immigrate.

Alternatively, a sponsor might be able to bring his or her income up to the required level—rather than rely on a joint sponsor—by adding the would-be immigrant’s income to his or her own. This is only possible, however, if the would-be immigrant’s income will continue from the same source after he or she gets the green card.

Take particular note of the third requirement above if both the sponsor and the would-be immigrant are presently living overseas. The consulate will require that the sponsor show either that this is a temporary absence and that the sponsor has maintained ties to the U.S., or that he or she intends to reestablish domicile in the U.S. no later than the date that the immigrant is admitted as a permanent resident. Some of the ways the sponsor can show having maintained ties to the U.S. include having paid state or local taxes, kept U.S. bank accounts, kept a permanent U.S. mailing address, or voted in U.S. elections.

cautionCAUTION

Sponsors who try to run away from their obligations will face fines. The U.S. government has anticipated that some sponsors might try to escape their financial obligation by simply moving and leaving no forwarding address. That’s why the law says that the sponsor must report a new address to USCIS on Form I-865 within 30 days of moving. A sponsor who does not comply faces fines of between $250 and $2,000; or $5,000 if the sponsor knows the immigrant has collected need-based public benefits.

https://www.uscis.gov/greencard/affidavit-support
Responsibilities as a sponsor
If the individual you sponsored receives any "means-tested public benefits," you are responsible for repaying the cost of those benefits to the agency that provided them. If you do not repay the debt, the agency can sue you in court to get the money owed. Any joint sponsors or household members whose income is used to meet the minimum income requirements are also legally responsible for financially supporting the sponsored immigrant.


this is America not Nigeria. Should anything happen, the government WILL come for your sponsor or their assets.


NB: so this is not illegal but could open a huge can of worms. I hope you are blessed enough to find someone willing to put all their assets on the line for a stranger which begs my previous question- does your father not have anyone over there? Why are you the one looking on an online forum or is there more you are not saying? If someone is going to do something of this magnitude they would want to know

hello fellow nairalanders, my dad (a u.s citizen) filed for me to come over to the usa. the petition was approved , i have had the interview at the embassy. i was told that i will only be given the visa if i can get an additional joint sonsor because his income was insufficient due to his arthritis (it has been difficult to find someone to help support) . please if any good Samaritan wants to help me by being a joint sponsor. im a responsible young lady i plan to study nursing and later go on to medical school when i get to the u.s . youl never regret helping me out. Please il be extremely grateful and God will reward you..
That's a tough sell and is technically illegal. Could potentially put the person's status in jeopardy. Does your father not have people who are actually connected to him and not strangers on a forum??
