This is bad. Accidents happen. His brakes might have failed. And he was lynched like this? Why not allow the law take it course? This is very barbaric and should be condemned.

Happy Easter, folks...

I'm in urgent need of an Acura TSX 2006 or equivalent.

Toks or clean Naija used options are highly welcome.

Good car. Very good car.

buygala:
Search for "EOD" or 2003-2005 Honda accord" in the AUTOS section on this forum, and make your choice from there...no need being rude ontop 1.1m.

Unless you encounter a distress sale, a clean one of that vehicle is above your budget..

One dude here bought a Honda DC for 1m on jiji, after discarding the ones here as being too expensive.. Now he has created more than 10 topics asking how to fix this or that on the car.. By the time he adds up the 1m purchase price and the funds he has and will expend in bringing that car up to shape, e fit don reach to buy toks.. That's if the moto no bankrupt am laslas

If you like hear, if you like no hear

@AutoManual, stray bullet don hit you oo

Prior to the shredding of your previous belt, was your car experiencing battery drain and startability issue?
If yes, you need to probe further to find the fault, if no, have the alternator voltage checked when car is running on idle with:
1. Battery voltage before starting of vehicle,
2. one terminal disconnected,
3. both battery terminal connected,
4. battery terminals connected and all electrical loads turned on
5. Battery voltage after engine is turned off and terminals disconnected for 1 hr.

Use a digital multimeter with its dial at 20V and test then revert back with the voltage readings at the above tests.

No. I was not experiencing any battery drain prior to my serpentine belt cutting nor any startability issue.

Good morning kingreing, jceesquare an other car gurus. I drive a 2008 acura tsx.
On Feb 24th precisely, my serpentine belt cut. I called my mechanic and he sent his boy. He claimed he was too busy to come. Getting the right belt was quite difficult for the boy since the old one really shredded. First one he got was too small to fix. Second one was too big. Finally got one that sized it and the car started. But ever since then sometimes my car battery fails to start my car till I borrow someone's battery. It has happened like four times since then. I want to rule out alternator cause I believe once u start a car and remove the battery head, if the alternator is bad, the car will go off. Mine does not go off till i put my battery back. And whenever i jump-start using someone else battery, i can use it up to two weeks of daily driving before the next incident.
What prompted me to write this was that stuff embarrassed me yesterday. I escorted my friend to his introduction. I was parked somewhere waiting for him to drive up and meet me and we start going. When he came, my car refused to start. Car I drove out from the house. My battery is 75amps. He brought out his own battery which was 65amps and it couldn't start my car. I had to beg a sienna transport driver and immediately I put his battery my car started immediately and I paid 2k. We got to the venue, I switched off the car and switched it on, e no gree start again. We went if for what we came. The introduction was a long one. We came out 3 hours later and the car started one hand. I got home, parked it and later started it and it started immediately too. So what could be wrong? Is my battery bad? 7th of may will make it one year i bought the battery. I have started seeing thread in the new belt that was fixed on Feb 24th. It was since this belt was fixed I started experiencing this.
I have no OBD codes. I scan my car frequently with my scanner. If my car is on and I connect my scanner, the battery voltage hovers around 13.5 to 14 volts.

Right now I am contemplating should I buy a new battery? But I feel one year is too small for my battery to have issues. Should I change that serpentine belt?
Or it the fault from my battery connector cable?
I need professional advise.

samobaba4u:
The guy did the same for this fellow. When you read the story, you will know I'm not greedy. If I was I would have for the same cos the guy was promising so many things foe someone to fall but when he discovered I was not moved by all his promises he started using other people around to execute his mission. The only money I parted with was the one I paid for food we took the first night I met him and when he promised to pay together I just lockup.
We didn't slept in the same room and I always lock my room from behind. I shared my lọcation and his phone number to all whatzapp group I belong to and also my family and friends. The only thing that made me slept was because I discovered he's total stranger in the area. I already alert a Police officer about him the following day that I was bringing him so he can be detained. I can only do this with someone I know because I have no evidence against him and I have made up my mind that even if he's clean I am on a safe side sine the Police is my uncle so he would be able to defend me in case the guy wanted to use his power (that's if he turned out to be who he said he was).
Anyways, I will advise we all share his photos in all groups we belong to safe others from falling for him and for us to take him out of this scamming he's doing before he cause serious havoc for someone. I have spoke with thiz other victim, hmmmmmmmm he really enter them wella

All of una no dey streetwise. You should be able to smell a scam from 2 miles away.0 Then of all people to scam una, e come be this orobo. How does he get away after scamming you guys? Maybe him dey use jazz for all of una.

Super story.
If they are serious, tey should liase with motor vehicle licensing office and get an updated data of vehicles they have registered and merge them alongside the CMR police issues out.

There are a lot of people who are not aware of this news. So the publicity is poor and hence it won't work.

What if it was a test and they are watching on the CCTV which applicant will pick it?

Zico5:
Despite being able to spell desperation, you are still in poverty following failed Obi up and down

Lol
You are below my level bro. Not gonna engage you further.

AutoManual:
the previous owner use this car for 2 years. when i ask him of the oil he was using he said mobil Super. I ask me how much he said the last time he bought it was 11k.

And since I bought it I have been using it like that my mechanic check the oil there was no sluge and he said the oil is still ok I can use it for another one month even though the car is showing service -55. the car is now showing service -244.



I want to change the oil this week to be on the safe side. What do you think? Should I continue with the mobil super?

Your car has an oil life timer which should be reset back to 100% after every oil change. This readings cannot be relied upon since you don't know how long ago the former owner really changed the oil. Best thing to do is to change that oil immediately after you bought the car. Then learn how to set the oil timer. If possible, use the oil weight recommended for your car. It is written on the oil cap and it is in your manual there. When you change the oil, reset your timer and drive. For honda, when the oil life gets to 15%, SERVICE DUE message starts appearing on your instrument cluster notification panel. When it gets to 5%, you will see the message SERVICE NOW. You should try to do your servicing then. When you continue to use it without changing the oil, the timer gets to 0 and starts reading in negative. That's why you are seeing the -244 and so there. And when it starts reading in the negative, your car ECU system cannot vouch for that oil in your engine again. Damage might happen because that oil has broken down very well.

Zico5:
The way Peter Obi is going, it won't be surprised that he will be a history in the few years. His despiration is second to none and Nigerians are watching with keen interest. Let them continue to dig, but the reality on ground is that Peter Obi lost this election gallantly. It's case closed right from the beginning.

Go and learn how to spell desperation first before yarning dust from your mouth.

Donphilex:
contact Gazzuz he no dey finish for him hand

How much is it sold? Any idea?

jceesquare:
What makes you think the engine started having issues because he used a 5W-30 instead of a 20?
Have you also wondered why oils designed for higher milage cars have slightly higher viscosity?
That's a 2003 car with well over 100k in miles.

He scanned the car and he is having error code P0010 or so. Will find out from him. But he said something about the camshaft actuator malfunctioning due to the wrong oil he used. I stand to be corrected though. We learn everyday.

jceesquare:
For the oil change interval, depends on the oil. Use 5W30 if bought Tokunbo, or ask previous owner what oil they use and continue with it. Change every 3 months/3,000 miles whichever comes 1st for mineral oil or 6 months/6,000 (safe spot) with good filters whichever comes 1st for synthetic oil.

You'll need a technician to physically inspect the A/C. Call 07089030689 for proper diagnosis.

Are you sure of 5W-30 bro? He should check what is on his oil cap. A colleague who bought an 03 accord last year ending, changed the engine and started using 5W30 instead of 5W-20 on the cap is having issues with the car now. This is honda application guide and what I see there is 5W-20

Seems you love attention a lot. I don't see the need for you to create multiple threads. You can maintain just one thread or go to car talk section and state your problem under the hinda thread there since you bought a honda car.

Na to sell my car oo.
I can't be buying fuel at that price. Sell the damn car, add money and process japa things

Na to sell my car be that naa

HilcomTech:
1) I made two separate requests to the forum only for you (in a sly manner) reply both requests telling me to contact you through your phone number. Why can't you post the information here like everyone is doing. Besides, other folks in the same situation can also benefit from such information because I have benefited a lot from other people's experience on this thread. I have also helped folks on this forum in my own little way without thinking of cornering and fleecing them of their hard earned money. You can keep hoarding your knowledge and shove it up your **se. Other non cunning members of this forum will help. Just watch and see.

2) Only an unintelligent person would not have noticed that my ID/monicker is suggesting I am someone in the field of technology and I am not responsible for your inability to earn PhDs

You were too hasty in drawing conclusions. You could have contacted him first to hear what he has to say before concluding he is out to fleece you. Kingreign has helped a lot of people here. He is in abuja and I am in lagos. But once in a while, I chat him up on whtsapp on car issues and he gives me advice on what to do or ensure my mech does. I can even bet he does not know who it is that is typing this cause we are many he comes through for. So chill bro.

kingreign:
Lol
You now feel humbled and intimidated already that’s why you’re running to your hole with your tail in between your legs.

Conner44:
As usual the things to check are your tyres for damage, if all is okay there then move on to their balancing and alignment.

If it persists then there are many other things that can be wrong. But the two above are usually where to start from

Many other things like?
I have been suffering ths since last year sept. I changed complete hub and yet no reprieve. Yesterday I changed shaft. Still no solution. Mine occurs at lower speeds, when I move from rest or if I slow down and later wanna speed up. That is when I feel the wobble on my front passenger side. The matter don tire me. I have spent a lot to correct t that nonsense. Now I am hearing is because of the shaft I bought didn't include that part that enters the gear. I called the person who sold the shaft to my mechanic this morning and he said when my mechanic brought my complete axle abi shaft, he noticed that side that enters the gear has a small issue. That I have to pay another money for that part. That my car shares that part with CRV. My car is an acura tsx 2008 model.

Jceesquare and conner44, abeg make una put mouth for this my matter.

Beremx:
Buhari and Emefiele should give an official statement on this matter. They are suffering Nigerians a lot. Their silence is hurting and annoying. The money is being rejected because the two devils haven't spoken 😥😥

Your buhari. Where is your second obiageli? You no longer sty at alaba rago abi? E be like u Don go owerri after all the atrocities you supported in lagos.

SONDACURRENCY:
Exactly , a lot of people don’t know the major work of the engine cooling system of a car engine and other engine but let’s focus the cooling system on the car engine . Let’s start from your car thermostat function and it’s relationship with the radiator and the team work they are both doing for your engine . In a sim play layman understanding; you start your car , your water pumps start working as the engine is working because the your engine belt runs through it also , now it passing the water in and out of the engine and through the thermostat in your engine , so your radiator absorbs the engine heat , retains it to help your car gets to its peak performance, ( every car need to be heated up to a certain level ) so when the heat is getting above recommended heat for the engine , the heat pressure pushes and compresses the thermostat which automatically triggers your fan to work , so now the thermostat gets back to it position the moment the heat is reduced and the fan stops working . Now it’s keeps your engine are a particular heat level , not to go too high or too low.
Back to the reason your car consumes more fuel after listening to your road side mechanic who will have told you that 9ija is too hot and where the car is coming from is too cold so you don’t need the thermostat, or else your car will keep overheating lolz , fiam them don remove am and by pass your fan relay , INFACT that is the beginning of your car problem but you might not notice immediately.
Yes when your car runs on below recommend temperature for your engine , it’s takes more fuel , my next post I will show you exactly how but let me focus on the one you will understand faster, I saw lots of post saying alternator charges the battery while fan get power from battery there for it has nothing to do with fuel lolz , INFACT is has everything to do with fuel , “have you had of battery over charging before “. What you are doing is making the alternator over work ,most times when your battery is fully charged your alternator stops charging it but you will never notice that because it’s does not work like your AC compressor that you see the physical cutting of power , that is the reason your battery don’t get overcharged and the moment your battery start over charging, that mean something is wrong with your alternator, in conclusion, you are making your alternator work too much by always charging the battery since the fan is always on there by take more tole on engine .
There is another major important of thermostat a lot of people don’t know , immagine you driving on a raining day through flooded str , if your thermostat is working , the minute you enter flood , the engine temperature drops immediately and the fan will never pick Exept your AC is on ( why it’s always advisable to off your AC while driving through flood ) but what do you think happens when you connect your fan directly, it’s means your fan keep running inside flood and in most cases destroys the blades and in a long run the fan engine . Am a professional online mechanic, ask me any questions about car mechanical aspects.

Learnt a lot from this.

MDX looks more matured. I will go with it.

The led-light
The Two white lights
The spraying ( slight dent caused) by a keke



Anybody have any idea of the amount 4 this ?
My mechanic required them

At least snap and post a picture so that people will have an Idea of the dent.
And also state location. Sometimes locations determine prices. What you can fix for 10k in ojo lagos might cost you more in gbagada lagos.

Any one?

Go to transport companies in Kano and get a driver.

Oga stop beating around the bush. It is very wrong to put all of us in one basket. Call the name please

His name is obviously omoapena. He knows himself better than everyone here.

But they take a lot of time to deliver money if you do a transfer. Their app has been working very well this period but it takes forever before the other person gets an alert.
They really tried by removing transfer charges to help their customers. I benefited very well from that.

Mehn, birds of the same feathers really flock together.
I am wondering how someone who calls himself my friend will pitch this kind of idea to me and I buy it wholeheartedly and join him sef. Never.

She needs a new lover. She don dump her prophetess rubbish. That itch between her legs needs to be scratched.

It must always be from this tribe of the fallen demon. Keep hating the igbos while they succed.
