It will work. Highest when it starts getting old if you switch on the vehicle in the mornings it could make screeching noises for a few seconds or when you on the ac or swim water too.

Just don’t go lower than the stock number for the belt.
Hmmm

So far it was 6PK it will run all the components well but depreciate faster . Instead of your china belt to last 4 years it will likely cut within 2 years except you’re vigilant and change it on time. The 6PK in that belt code is pointing at the number of grooves on the spinning pulleys of your power steering pump, compressor, alternator,water pump and crankshaft where the belt loops around and sits
I saw this online

7pk1835


If you’ve been using a 6PK in your vehicle before and look closely you’d notice that the belt is not covering the whole surface of the pulleys

It makes it undersized and will depreciate faster

All I’m saying is just make sure you get the 1830 part right. If you don’t use the exact 1830 size of belt, you’re looking for trouble undecided

7PK1830

Make sure you use this exact size insist on it . . . Nothing more or less (traders will try to sell you another size believing the one that works for EOD/DC must also work perfectly for your own vehicle too)
Let's say for example 6pk1830 has been used for a while
Whats the implications

Honda power steering fluid was formulated principally for the conditioning of Honda’s rubber seals in both the power steering pump and rack. Those seals were made by Honda in their factory and tested with that particular fluid to guarantee the longest life possible hence you see tokumbo vehicles with fully functional power steering apparatus even after 20 years of usage. Honda’s power steering fluid is clear/white in color and not red like automatic gearbox transmission fluids.

If you decide to use another type of fluid like regular atf (transmission fluid) in your power steering pump and system it will gradually and eventually eat up the seals in both the pump and your rack which will lead to leakages and reduced performance in short time.

think I’m lying? remove the follow come fluid in your Honda power steering system and replace it with the red dextron atf and I guarantee you that within 1 year you will be topping up the fluid, within 2 years your leaks will start showing and within 3 years your steering system will need an overhauling. Don’t mind your mechanics telling you “oga no worry, this abro go work well well” , it’s a lie . . . they just want you to enjoy for 6 months and return again to dash them money to repair the same issue afresh again.

As for brake fluid, any one can work well. Just remember to get the fluid with a DOT 4 specification as that is the grade required by your system.

Thanks

Shouldn't cost you more than 5k to scan only and get you any error codes. If you use honda, take the car to Oyingbo in lagos. That is the home of honda mechanics.

There are three types of sensor on that engine.

I've had such issue while everyone was shouting "Raising sensor" but it wasnt the accelerating sensor.

There's a sensor beneath the battery, it's the one responsible.
Meanwhile, oil can leak from many places, eg, Bad Crankshaft oilseal, Top Cover, Bad bottom plate seal or power steering oil leakages.

The bad sensor is like 10k but raising sensor is 3k.
Crankshaft oilseal is 2k, sealant is 1k workmanship 4k.

That's all, just get to your mechanic and get it done if not you can bring the vehicle to Lokoja, Kogi state for Masters touch.

Okay boss

Oga, Ive been driving a Honda DC for sometime now and I've met some really good mechanic likewise the bad ones.

A mechanic cannot do it alone, problems maybe Engine, electricals etc..
One man cannot be a Mech and an electrician at the same time.

So, if the problem with your Honda is Mechanical, I've got someone you can trust and if Electrical, it's definitely another guy.

It's mechanical
Raising switch abi rising switch
Little Oil leak

Need to change it

Many people practicing Islam are hypocrites

Here in Abuja they ban alcohol sales around the Mosque but permit hard drugs like heroin, tramadol, weed, codeine and strong cigarettes. Are those ones not Haram?

Over 10,000 migrants workers building the stadiums died due to poor working conditions since Qatar was announced as host.

First, Look out the reason for overheating, like failed thermostat, or maybe your fan stopped working to avoid reoccurrence. In as much as you can replace that broken cover for a token, ask and verify well if the radiator is still working properly, if not buy a NEW radiator.

Bought new radiator
Fixed it

Seems the fan is cutting ?
Worked first time car was started

Didn't work subsequently even when ac was put on
Then the car temperature rose quickly

Politics / Re: Second Niger Bridge Users Will Pay Toll - FG by Sportwin(m): 8:56am On Dec 22, 2022
Wagwanbrethren:
Governments constantly run a budget deficit, at every level. So for those who might say 'how about tax' no, taxes aren't always enough.

Toll bridges are a little different. Big bridges are incredibly expensive to construct, so the builders need a way to recuperate that enormous loss of cash. Whether the bridge was built by a government, the private sector, or a partnership of the two, projects like that are only viable if they can partially pay for themselves through tolls. For example, the Ambassador Bridge (the busiest crossing on the USA_ Canada states border) is 100% privately owned, and earns the owner about $60,000,000 per year in revenue.
In theory, the tolls pay for repairs, maintenance, and upgrades for the road. In practice, however, abuses occurs. Occasionally the toll money goes to projects besides the road itself. But generally the toll roads are better maintained and thus less wear and tear on.

Truth is, government has to recover part of the cost of making new highways. It must not be forever. After 10 years it should be discontinued.
It depends on how construction and maintenance was financed. Every so often, the taxpayers agree to build a bridge. Other times they may object to the cost and only agree to partial funding. In that case, people using the bridge are charged a toll until the costs are paid off. In some cases, it’s never paid off.



Even the crimean bridge built by Russia in all its splendor isn't taxed
