Hey guys,
An accord 2015 owner here. Car is plagued with many issues since I got it, but after spending so much since Nov 2024 till now, I felt the month of march was relatively stable until the car broke down at 11pm from a night of flenjo.

After series of trying to start it, it suddenly picked up 10mins later and luckily I was near home and r fuse to drive anywhere afterwards

Called a nearby mechanic to come check and first he said nothing is wrong with car that it is my fuel and I should used a fuel injector cleaner.

Got home and it broke down again the next day, luckily again I was close to my house when it happened.so this time the mechanic checked the pressure of the fuel pump, spark plugs and certified it good, serviced the fuel injector system. Now he says one of the cylinder is misfiring and they are suspecting it's a brainbox problem.

Rewire is suggesting testing another brainbox on the car, and if that fails they would have to check the engine if maybe gasket is bad but it has been established that one of the cylinders is the issue

I m wondering why they aren't seeing the exact cause since they use a car scanner abi thier own na for sakamanje or could this be a mechanical issue

I am already tired coz this is now day 4 at the mechanic workshop.
Who has experienced this before with an accord 2015

Forgot to add, the car starts and after 10 seconds it goes off except I keep on reving it like a danfo drive otherwise it will go off
Its like I need to keep reving it for it to stay alive

Car is just 6 months old in my hands and now at verge of selling it at a discounted price.

The issue now is
Most so called rewire (electrician) doesn't even know how a car fuel trim works not to even mention short time fuel trim
And that's making it had for me to find someone that really know and understand how to read a car live data with an OBD scanner.
That's the only way we can know the exact sensor causing the high fuel trim issue.

HenryWilliams:
I've noticed it as well.
4GB data on 9mobile didn't last two days max, no heavy surfing or nothing..
What is going on?
There's no sector growing in this country

Damlesky:
Good day everyone... My mechanic told me a month ago that my shocks are leaking and I also need to change my shafts completely, since I know next to nothing about cars (new car owner), I gave him the go ahead and he changed both.
The problem is ever since he did the repair, I've been hearing this crackling sound coming from the front wheel everytime I apply brake. The embarrassing sound is loud enough that people will often look at my car everytime I step on the brakes.
I've taken the car back to the mechanic up to 7 times with no solution to the problem, he's changed the calipers, hob, brake disc etc all to no avail and I'm fed up.
What could be the problem and can you please refer me to a competent mechanic?
Car is Honda Accord DC.

DrCassidy:
Good morning. Please help!
I drive a VW Golf 4, 2.0 engine, 2004 model.
Recently, I noticed the car did not fire well, I took it to my mechanic, who scanned it and told me it was a gear transmission problem, specifically the solenoid. That I was driving only on gear 3.
The mechanic claimed he ordered a "Belgium" solenoid with its body valves. After replacing the solenoid on my body valves and the car scanned, it was noticed the transmission was jerky on gear selection and subsequently went into a leap mood (steady on gear 3).
Now, my mechanic feels it's no longer the solenoid issue but that my gear fibres are faulty, hence not having a good connection with the "changed" selenoid.
Please, Car talk, kindly help me!
Thank you.

Hello my Chiefs,

I was waiting in traffic the other day when the car off, to start became wahala. Had to allow it to cool off small.

Pls make una help my life.

Another one is Car consume fuel when I drive with ac and can be sluggish picking up speed especially on starting speed.

Hello GAZZUZZ,

My wife's Toyota Corolla 2010 has stopped responding the remote key of door and boot opening. I had the battery changed and it still will not respond. The battery on the key is a very good one with good voltage

Good evening guys, I erroneously left my radiator cap unlocked even though I closed it but I forgot to pull it off to confirm if it was closed after which my sister drove the vehicle to work and on her way back the vehicle shut off on the road and it was discovered that the coolant had escaped from the radiator and it had overheated.
Took it to a mechanic who diagnosed that the top gasket had failed and so I paid for its replacement. He also did some maintenance works on the engine caused by the damage from the overheating of which I will provide the details of the repair here for those who understand what he did.
I collected the vehicle yesterday and he advised me not to use a thermostat any longer as he explained it the way the usual Nigerian mechanics do. On driving it, I noticed the temperature gauge was etching towards the normal operating temperature mark which I thought was abnormal since the mechanic said he had removed the thermostat. Soon after the temperature needle started to move much higher on the gauge which is when I knew for sure something was wrong. I stopped the vehicle and waited for some times before I added water and I was able to drive the vehicle home.
Took it back to the mechanic today and he pointed out a leak in the radiator top rubber as was don clips holding the hose which I replaced. Carried out test drives and the issue persisted. Radiator was washed but the issue still persisted. He then consulted another mechanic who suggested we change the radiator completely. I purchase another double cell radiator @45,000 and unfortunately the issue still persists. I don’t know what else to do and the mechanic obviously doesn’t know what to do either. Please what could be the problem and what are the possible solutions?
Engine is a 2AZ engine. No visible smoke and no sign of liquid in the engine oil dipstick. No visible leaks except for when the engine has become very hot and I see a little bit of water that escaped from the radiator cap which I don’t think is enough to trigger overheating at that pace, usually 10-15mins after driving on high speed.

Also, is there any auto shop in Abuja I could go to? My transmission is faulty. The D light blinks and it frees itself like it was on neutral, revving as I drive.

I would have to turn off the car and put it back on.

DJ Damian or what ever you call your appellation... in as much as in the past you have the aptness to oppress others with the useless help you render to them without freedom. should give you the temerity to speak to me in such a derogatory ways.

I am not your employee for your information. Even if you are in Benin, so I should leave my office and set a location for us to meet right, because of what ..

if u ain't idle, by that particular time you ought to be in your office. ohh I forgot that the only way you have been making money is to used others like slave or thrall, even if they are in point of moribund. may God have mercy on your evil soul..

And if you ain't guilty also of all allegations, I don't expect you to do Audio give away. I will advice you to send that money to ur mom in the village, it's will be beneficial to her.. don't try and buy people conscience here. we already know how manipulative and authoritative you are...
