Can anyone who went to Brazil to take the NCLEX give us a run down of how the application went and how much was spent during their stay in Brazil. Thank you and God bless as you reply.

Hi, please do you have any info to share about the above?

I'd never buy or drive a car without a functional primary and Secondary Restraint Safety (SRS) System (pretentioner belt and SRS airbag inclusive). Owning or driving a car without Airbag is akin to playing Russian Roulette or kissing a king cobra on its forehead.
You sef know how e go end if e go wrong. angry angry

Been driving around without airbags for few weeks. This hit me hard...time to address and fix.

@Engineer Gazzuzz, my 2010 honda accord airbag light suddenly came on while driving (no history of accident here in Nigeria and abroad from VIN check). I disconnected the battery ternminals...no luck. A scan of the SRS system is no longer successful (no communication with SRS module) but I was able to manually pull U0151 50 code on the dashboard. Since the airbag light came on, i do not get warning beeps if seat belt is not in use (though pretensioner works on motion), doors won't auto lock if speed hits 10km/hr and driver door wont unlock if i shift to park. Abeg, how do we fix this? smiley

U0151 - Guage control module lost communication with SRS unit.

The V6 has a belt that is recommended to be changed at 7yrs/105k miles under normal driving conditions.

Last time I did this job (2 years ago) , I bought the timing kit from radautoworks. They are close to you can contact them.


Acknowledged. I will plan to have it done. Many thanks.

Your car that i know is a Honda with a 4clyinder engine and a timing chain .


I sold the 4cylinder DC 2yrs ago. I have been using 2010 accord v6 since then...since the days of sending M1 to Ola @amala dey place, tyres to Musa @Ikate and alpha beach Rd.

Autos / Re: ASK GAZZUZZ by sholarb(m): 11:27am On Jan 24, 2021
Hi Engineer, my 2010 accord is currently due for B14 service at 101K true miles. I have done everything recommended except the big three; timing belt, water pump and valve adjustment.

Question:
How long can I defer these, if I do not want to carry out at this time? Also, what do u recommend??
Car has no history of abuse, I do try my best in terms of maintenance; M1 oil, type2 coolant, DW1, iridium spark plugs etc.

PS: Thanks once again for the M1 free delivery to Lekki 2weeks ago.

SpeedRacer:


Thanks a lot
I will check the rear callipers on my next oil change..

Focus on the slider pins and rubber boots; the pins should move freely and the rubber boots should not be cut or swollen. Use brake lube not the regular grease. Regular grease will heat up and become sticky. Apply lube to caliper pins, clips, edges of brake pad mounts and back of brake pads.

Accord 8th gen are also known to go thru their brake pads very quickly. There's a lawsuit for that. The issue was corrected in 2010.

True, premature wear of the rear pads. However, this can be prevented by:

1. Swapping the rear caliper slider pins (top to bottom, bottom to top) and/or
2. Installing v-springs

I did both despite I drive a 2010.

kingreign:

Did he install a very good working unit?
Did he bleed all 4 channels?
Is your ABS light on?

That said, the 08 upwards brakes aren't anywhere near the 03-07 in terms of sharp response.

The 8th gen accord uses Electronic Braking Proportioning that improves braking compared to earlier generations mentioned. The rear pads on 8th gen does alot/most of the braking thereby reducing distance and eliminating nose dive...zero nose dive!

Many owners are ignorant and do not pay attention to the rear calipers/pads and therefore loose braking power. Hence, I run heavy duty dot4 fluid, service with brake caliper lube, I also use Honda OEM pads with v-springs installed. Once, I feel a little nose dive....I know its time for brake job.

They don't see far ahead as factory specified 9006 type halogen bulbs because of their beam patterns and directions.

True...it is recommended for use as low beams. Like i stated earlier, I use it on my low beam and it is very appropriate...sees clearly. My high beam remains stock halogen for a reason.

Ok. Just saw some on AliExpress and i have to say. They are expensive. Yeeesh. Costs at least 300$. For full led headlamp.
If they have it locally available. It might be cheaper to get the tokunbo

Well...I currently have C6 HID lights on my Accord 2010 low beam. It cost me 5K back then, impressive at night, each has a cooling fan and does not require a ballast. Just ensure your headlights are clear and not foggy.

I had it scanned after our conversation. No error codes came up. That was about a week ago. While driving this morning. My engine light came on. I had it scanned.and i got this error. What do you think might have caused it and how can it be fixed

Speaking from experience, most likely cause is bad fuel...change station where you buy fuel immediately. If you lucky, the code will go off, else P0420 might show up soon. Worked for me and a friend that uses same car...for almost 2yrs now, I buy fuel from same station for the Accord.

You will know whenever you buy quality fuel; instant throttle response and no slight vibration at cold startups in the morning.

In 5w20 and 5w30 which is best to use for Honda pilot 2003 in Nigeria ? V6 Engine

All things being equal.

5w20 - better fuel economy
5w30 - better engine protection

I'd choose engine protection over fuel economy any day.

Thanks much but they've already replaced the two and I changed the oil too Don't know what else to do

Okay. I once had P3497 and that was what I changed and also cleaned the rocker arm pressure switches. Your engine not being exact replica is a concern.
