Hi everyone! Feels great back here after a long while. Never left actually but no contributions as I changed from 1998 accord to a 2003
Mercedes c240. Well, I'm back now, just got a 2016 accord v6. Glad to see Gazzuz,luvinghubby, adanny01, nurey still offering help since the last 6years (wow @ 283 pages so far) that's how long it took me. Back here to benefit from the wealth of knowledge and experience and share mine as well. I believe my choice of returning to Honda is worthwhile. Bless you all.

Congratulations on your new ride.

Good morning house,
I drive a Honda Accord 2006 model(DC) and lately I have been experiencing delay in transmission up to about 2 to 3 mins when engaged in drive or reverse early in the morning before the engine warms up. My mechanic said he suspects the sensors and advised I allow a Rewire to check it out for me. Pls I need assistance if their is anyone who had/has similar problem. I want to draw from your wealth of experience pls. Save a soul. I am in IBADAN and won’t mind a referral to an expert. Thanks

Why don't you start by scanning your car and posting the error codes here. Secondly what colour is your transmission fluid and it's level in your car?

Hello guys,

Is a 6 months Nigerian used (unregistered) Honda Accord a good buy for 1.4m?

The engineer, says there isn't a major thing to fix in the car.

The body is fairly clean too.

Please share your thoughts.

Honda Accord...what model/year?

Good post!
So from the writeup can we conclude that catalytic converter has nothing to do with fuel efficiency/economy...

HottieCoach:
A catalytic converter is a device incorporated in the exhaust system of a motor vehicle, containing a catalyst for converting pollutant gases into less harmful ones.

This device had been available in vehicles since the 1970's

The catalyst's job is to speed up the removal of pollution. The catalyst is made from platinum or a similar, platinum-like metal such as palladium or rhodium. A catalytic converter is a large metal box, bolted to the underside of your car, that has two pipes coming out of it.

The catalytic converter is very valuable because of the precious metals that are included in the converter, such as platinum, or platinum-like material such as palladium or rhodium. So, the more expensive the material, the more expensive it is to replace.

Due to the fall of the naira and a rise in the cost of precious metals like platinum and palladium, the contents of the catalytic converter is highly sort after. The parts have become an unusual windfall for thieves, who can make hundreds of naira from selling them to auto parts suppliers or scrapyards. Catalytic converters can be melted and the highly valuable metals, like palladium and rhodium, extracted.

At present a typical 2003-2018 Toyota Corolla catalytic converter (its content) can fetch between ₦100,000 -150,000.

How to prevent catalytic converter theft.

1 Do not leave your vehicle unattended with your roadside technician.

2. If you do, tell him bluntly that you have your catalytic converter intact and it should not go missing .

3. If for any reason you have catalytic converter failure and it has to be unblocked , collect all the contents, tie it up in a bag and contact me I'll show you where to sell it for good money

OP
Good post!

Check long term fuel trim and short term fuel trim using live reading on obd2 scanner at idle

Do you know any mechanic that can do this scan and rectify the error thereafter? Please provide mechanic details and location. Thanks

Please House, does coolant have effect on a car mileage? The reason am asking is because I discovered after adding coolant to my radiator for the first time in January, since then have noticed appreciable increase(improvement) in mileage, infact my car breathes better, covers the same distance with almost half the same litres. Am trying to know what I did right that could cause that significant increase in mileage. Before my Honda pilot covers about 65miles with 30litres, now the same 30litres gives roughly 100miles(this is only city driving with frequent stop and go)

How many litres of coolant did you pour in the radiator?

Wow. This is a good learning point. The experts in the house should be able to explain this. But what prompted you to add coolant in the first place? Was your car overheating?

Single cell

That's where the overheating problem is coming from. Replace it with a double cell radiator and the overheating will stop.

My car (Honda Accord 2006) was over heating, so I took it to one mechanic who specialized on Hondas only. First, he said it was Themostat and should be removed. It was done but the problem continued. Next, he said that the fan was not working. I bought a new fan and replaced but the problem continued still. I went back and this time, he said that the top gasket had burnt and should be changed. I dropped the car with him and it was changed. But the problem continued, I went back and he discovered that the radiator cover was bad, which I changed before leaving the village. But I found out after changing the top gasket that check engine light appeared on the dashboard. I went to the mechanic village and was directed to one electrician who scanned the car. After the scan, he didn't tell me anything but told his boys to loose the sensor. I got angry and told them to close my bonet and went home. Later changed my oil but found out that oil life reads 15%. Could the sensor really be bad? I need an advice because I don't have more money to waste. The car is in the East.

As per the overheating issue, is your radiator single cell or double cell??

Heartiest congratulations ma.

The fish!!!

Fuel trims?

Don't understand. Please what do you mean by fuel trims?

Kingdemu:
Post the scan results

There were just two error codes.
1. Catalyst
2. Oxygen sensor

Good day everyone,
Please my car drinks a lot of fuel. I have scanned the car the results made me take the following steps.

1. Catalyst was fixed into the exhaust.
2. Oxygen sensor which was previously absent was added.

However there was no change in the fuel consumption. It still consumes a lot of fuel. Half tank can barely take me from Berger to Ajah and back. Please help a fellow brother ohh.
I drive Honda Accord 2003 model.

Ochima75:
2003 honda accord delays to move when engaged in "". Even when it finally moves it disengages on motion, i have to rev the car high before it picks up again, and it doesn't switch to gear 2. I have replaced gear oil & filter due to this, still no change. I cleaned out the "solenoid sensor" beside the gearbox and samething still happens. Anytime it delays in moving when i shift to D the green light near D starts blinking with check engine light. I scanned and it showed "shift solenoid A valve stuck open" sometimes it's "shift solenoid B valve stuck opened". It just dangles between both

I met several gear mechanics,they tell me the gearbox is gone,i should go get another gearbox or rebuild the one on it, even without scanning. I personally don't feel it's true and from research i have been making, some people still experience such even after replacing the gearbox.

Please anyone who had experienced this before and how did you get it resolved because car has been resting since before Christmas.

Sad Truth is you need a new gear box.

Bro, please go for tokumbo. Don't go for Naija used. You will have less things to fix as you use the car.

Is it compulsory to be registered NSE before COREN?

I noticed in the registration form for COREN you have to fill in your NSE number

It used to be compulsory, today it isn't.

Awesome

kokaneprodigy:

An obvious vibration of the car when the car transmission is in D with AC on but car is on standstill. For example when I’m traffic and gear is in D with AC on car vibrates aggressively.
Vibration disappears once car starts moving

Check your engine seat(s).

Which one is onsite and virtual exam?

Onsite are for those who will leave their homes and go to the CBT centre to write the test. Virtual exam are for the candidates that will write the test from the comfort of their homes.

madri4u:
The test will be so easy. For experienced hired focus on ur related discipline, situation jugdement, oil and gas based multiple choice question. There will be No maths and english questions

How do you know this? What's your source?
@Newcastle2023 please confirm madri4u's post.
Best wishes to all.

SwTeee:
Exams has been postponed to 14th nov

Why do I have a sneaky little feeling that virtual exam will be cancelled and everyone will eventually write this exam at a physical location.
