As a Honda owner in Nairobi, Kenya, you rely on your car for daily commutes, family trips, and tough Kenyan roads. But when your engine starts showing trouble, ignoring it can lead to costly damage. At DOHC Auto Lab (Nairobi’s leading Honda repair specialist), we’ve fixed hundreds of Honda engines—from B-series to K24 models.

Here are 7 red flags your Honda needs immediate engine repair or diagnostics:

1. Check Engine Light is On

 What it means: Your Honda’s onboard computer (ECU) detects an issue—from a loose gas cap to severe engine misfires.
DOHC Solution: Our advanced diagnostic tools pinpoint the exact error code. We specialize in Honda engine diagnostics in Nairobi.

2. Strange Noises (Knocking, Ticking, or Hissing)

 What it means:

• Knocking: Low oil or worn bearings (common in Honda B16/B18 engines).

• Hissing: Possible vacuum leak (common in Honda Accord models).
  DOHC Solution: Our Honda engine overhaul service includes bearing replacement and leak fixes.

3. Poor Fuel Economy

What it means: A drop in mileage often signals faulty fuel injectors, clogged air filters, or O2 sensor failure (common in Honda CR-Vs).
DOHC Solution: We clean/replace injectors and sensors—saving you fuel costs long-term.

4. Excessive Smoke from Exhaust

 What the color means:

• Blue smoke: Burning oil (worn piston rings—common in high-mileage Honda Civics).

• White smoke: Coolant leak (possible head gasket failure).
  DOHC Solution: We offer engine resealing and gasket replacements.

5. Loss of Power or Stalling

 What it means: Could be a failing fuel pump, clogged catalytic converter, or timing belt issues (critical in Honda K20 engines).
DOHC Solution: We test fuel pressure and replace timing belts before they snap.

6. Oil Leaks or Low Oil Levels

 What it means: Leaks often start at the valve cover gasket or oil pan (common in older Honda Fits).
DOHC Solution: We use OEM-quality gaskets to prevent future leaks.

7. Rough Idling or Vibrations

 What it means: Dirty throttle body, spark plug failure, or engine mount damage (common in Nairobi’s stop-and-go traffic).
DOHC Solution: We clean throttle bodies and replace mounts with heavy-duty alternatives.
