Yes pls,
These are the effects of using only water in your car cooling system::

Water corrodes metal, it doesn't contain lubricant properties to lubricate the water pump, it contains deposits & minerals which block thin ages in cooling system, and water isn't sufficient as a coolant in extreme cold or hot temps.

..
The coolant is red/ pinkish but the only available colour is green.
What do I do

thank you.
In all honesty, I don't trust him because after seeing the code he immediately advised me to changed the catalyst in bank 1. when was discussing with people, I got to discover it is a trick to get me to remove the OEM and install china catalyst. then they would go and sell the OEM for their own profit, and the car might start developing issues along the line.

Don't you think it's in your best interest to all together avoid visiting a technician who you do not trust?

A mechanic fixes the car that you put yourself, your family and loved ones into and travel at a considerably high speed.
Incase you don't know, it's like trusting him with your life and those of your loved ones, yet you can't trust him for money or parts?
.it's an ironic situation or do I ignore this very dangerous picture I'm visualizing?

Personally, I don't joke with people that handle my food, health and legal matters. If any iota of doubt creeps in, I push the person involve aside all together. Your Mechanic and part seller too should make these group of persons.

My 2010 Honda accord V6 engine makes this loud clicking sound on cold start-up.

The sound eventually dies down when the engine gets warm but I worry.

Mech says to remind him on next service to remove and wash some filter beneath the oils sump but can't wait that long.

I stay in Abesan estate ipaja axis.

I understand your concern about the loud clicking sound in your 2010 Honda Accord V6 engine during cold start-up. It's essential to address this issue promptly to prevent any potential damage.

While waiting for your next service, you can take some immediate steps:

Check your engine oil level: Ensure that the engine oil level is at the recommended level on the dipstick. Low oil levels can sometimes cause unusual engine noises.

Observe any other symptoms: Pay attention to any other symptoms like loss of power, unusual exhaust smoke, or engine performance issues. These can provide additional clues to the problem.

Avoid aggressive driving: Until the issue is resolved, avoid putting unnecessary stress on the engine by driving aggressively.

Schedule an earlier inspection: If the noise persists or you notice any other concerning symptoms, try to schedule an earlier inspection with your mechanic. They can identify the root cause of the noise and take appropriate action.

Research reputable mechanics: Look for reputable mechanics in your area who can diagnose and fix the issue properly.

Since you're in Abesan estate, Ipaja axis, you might want to inquire about nearby auto repair shops or authorized Honda service centers that can help you with the problem.

, addressing engine issues promptly can prevent potential complications and ensure the longevity of your vehicle.

Good afternoon everyone, I have a '97 pencil light Camry automatic transmission that my mechanic helped change the gear oil last week Thursday (first time I'd be changing the gear oil after using for over a year though we top it occasionally - it's a first car)

On Sunday 23rd July, I noticed it wasn't getting into reverse gear when I wanted to park and I called the mechanic but he was out of town. When I got back home I tried again to park with reverse and laboured to move it, reversing wasn't smooth, it jerks.

On Monday it reversed smoothly without jerks. I still notified the mechanic he then said that he will call someone whose expertise is in gears and will ask him to come and check the car. Reversing was smooth yesterday Wednesday too.

Although I plan to sell the car by November/December for another ride but I don't want mechanic to fleece me unnecessarily before then. Between Sunday and now, no mechanic has checked it because I am always busy at work and I would like to be present when they are checking it for faults.

Please I need your contributions on this, is it something that can be corrected without need of gear replacement, I want to be armed with information before any mechanic touch it.

Thank you.

Was it involved in an accident that affected that part of the suspension area, check the bushings if they are bad or tyre has been cut and used, check if the lower control arm is okay, avoid buying used or tokumbo shocks, invest in a good brand new shocks.

Benz ML 400 started showing a dashboard warning to replace the coolant.
I have done that multiple times but I noticed it still keeps shorting the coolant after a few drive.
My office maintenance mechanic has checked and scanned but can not find any leakage anywhere and all the monitors look good and have no overheating.
So I am currently confused and need good hand to check and fix it
