He's saying he doesn't know the estimate you are asking for. He's not in Pakistan.

It worked once, i tried three different ELM never worked. Besides other than basic codes and values one is not going to benifit much. Go for Honda HDS if possible and explore entire new level of detail

Launch ones would also work with it

Well you see I would not suggest you to mess with them unless you feel something. K20 has problems for leaky VTEC due to gasket. If you plan to open it do change its gasket. Available new one is for 2500. If your are changing it dont worry cleaning it. Otherwise you can use carb cleaner but that may swell the gasket. Remove the gasket clean the vtec with carb cleaner.

CAUTION: You will have to make your hood a bed to open this VTEC solinoid. 3 10mm bolts. Also make sure to torque like wise guy not gorila as they tend to break if over tightened.

Xulfiqar Sb / Any other forum member, I own a honda vezel and it has reached 40,000 Km. Now is the time to change the transmission oil. Luckly i contact honda japan asking for the correct transmission oil for honda vezel and they recommended "Honda genuine ULTRA ATF-DW1". Any idea if this is available in the market as i cant seem to find it and its neither available with Honda dealer ship in Pakistan.

A suggestions for fellow vezel owners, do not rely on local honda dealer ship if they tell you CVT transmission oil is used in vezel (same as the local HRV). I have an email from honda japan stating other wise. Gives you an idea on how professional dealerships are in Pakistan.

@xulfiqar Just a general question: Do torque mounts have a role in isolating engine vibrations or are they just concerned with minimising torque production of the engine???

@xulfiqar

[ahmed2396]

very heavy oil for cultus

I would instead use this oil in some kind of racing engine, small block chevy or Bmw M. But for car like cultus i will never use 5W50, but delo 15w40 or 10w40 sg sj

my Mira custom is leaking engine oil from the joint of engine and transmission.....i think the seal has become weak......should i go for a "leak stopping formula like STP etc .....is it effective in stopping the leakages for a short duration......many thanks sir

If gear oil is leaking than first check if transmission is overfilled and then inspect breath pipe of transmission

Sir Zulfiqar, i have a problem with my charade on cultus engine with MX17 auto transmission, now the issue is with auto trans mission
today i found time and went for silencer work after the silencer being fixed, i return to home, as i went further i noticed a weird sound from the gear box suddenly feeling power loss, as i came near to my home the car was not moving at all, 2, 3 times i shifted it from parking to D, no power on wheels at all, so i turned off the engine and checked ATF level it was on a bit higher side, then i started engine the ATF level remains at that level, means that its not decreasing at all as in normal auto transmissions do,
now sometimes it engages the clutch sometimes it doesn't, but as i press accelerator in parking gear a weird sound comes from the gearbox,
now what should i do replace the ATF or it does need a transmission repair?

sounds like your transmission pump is not working, in your gearbox's torque converter the dog ears that drive the transmission oil pump can fracture which completely stop the transmission from working.
