Which grease is best for Honda cup?

There is the rubbish grease one mechanic use on the shaft cuo and after few days it turns something like water. It ruins the cup which now need change now.

Also which brake pad is best for Honda disk that will not be making those braking noise when marching brake.

Hello Guys,

I drive an Honda Civic 2008

I noticed that once in a while when i put the gear in drive or reverse, I notice a vibration for about 3 seconds but its stops immediately and the gear selects well.

What could be wrong?
check under your gear if your dried or if there is gear oil.

Hi guys.
I drive a honda accord discussion continue 2007
I recently observed that when driving with the AC on, the temperature guage rises above the half benchmark, but once I put off the AC, the guage comes down almost immediately.

Also this doesn't happen when I am driving at a free road, everything is fine if there is no traffic and AC is on.
But once I am in a stop and move traffic and AC is on, temps starts shooting until I switch off the AC before it goes down.
Please what could I be looking out for?
Thanks
it's over heating. The car have over heated before. Is the radiator vomiting water or any water shortage?
fineboynl(m): 9:21pm On May 19
MajorB009:


Yes, both fans are working
Even when I am on a stop and move traffic, the temperature is stable when AC is off, temperature rises only when I put on the AC.
The radiator has been washed, both fans are working pretty well.
I just can't pinpoint what actually is making the temps go up whenever I put on the AC

Unfortunately if there is no radiator like.

Here is likely the case. Honda can Honda over heating more than Toyota. The serious issue you have there. Putting on the ac means more load and more fuel, more combustion and more heat.

I am also experiencing the braking issues.
Have you been able to resolve it?

Brake pad also cause this if only happens when you brake. First use sand paper to file your brake pad before installing

If it stop. Then change the brake pad because it will start again after sometimes especially if water enter.

Go for MRS grease, last time (like 2yrs) I bought it, it was around 8k. And it lasted well.

I have been using asimco brake pad. And they last well without noise. Though, I think fake ones have been introduced.

But there is one Grease that's square is around 4k I heard it's also good from one mechanic.

For brake pads I heard asinco spoil the brake disc. Because Brake pad that refuses to chop will likely have impact on the disc itself.

For your peace of mind, replace exactly what you removed. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Check if the correct belt size was used. I suffered this thing last two weeks on my car. My mechanic fixed a wrong belt size and I didn't know. My bearings started making embarrassing noises. It became so noisy shame dey catch me tonput on the car at home. I bought 2 more belts of same size and the noise won't go away. He said it was the rollers. I told my colleagues and they said na wrong belt size. I went to my former mechanic and he got my main belt and the noise stopped. My car uses 6pk1753 belt size and the former mechanic was putting 6pk1791. Until I got the right belt size, that's when the noise stopped.

There’s this jerk when my car shifts gear, sometimes multiple jerks when driving. Rpm meter also fluctuates when such occurs. Thought it was fuel line issue so I changed fuel filter & spark plugs. Issue still persists. Ran a scan yesterday and the mechanic says fault is from the gear box though he wasn’t specific and says he doesn’t work gear boxes. I’ve already ordered for the dw1 oil for an oil change but I’m afraid if issue persists afterwards I may begin to consider a gear box replacement. Scary! Anyone experienced this before?
The car is a 2016 accord v6

Thanks so much.
Exactly, the noise is sometimes embarrassing and just like you said I guess it maybe the belt isn't the correct size, pls how do I know the correct size or number for civic 06

Good evening, Seniors.

I hail everyone.

Please, my Honda Accord 2008 started making a sound like a dragging sound when I'm driving. Even when I'm not applying the Brake, the sound keeps coming like something is dragging under my car.

What is the likely issue please? Has anyone encountered this before. I want to have an idea of the issue before I take the car to a mechanic.

Thank you Sirs.
