Doubt it Fahad if what Adam says is right the I ***ume it is the control valve itself. Will wait to see the results of Carls then order mine, although I had some jerking today on mine in 3rd gear when going round a roundabout with the valve disconnected. Hmmm could just be more money wasted for me!
Sounds good to me Carl. I have been doing some reading up too on these valves and everything you say seems to go with what I have read to.
Well I hope by Tuesday (when you get your bits) I will know if I need to order the whole lot or just the filter. I suspect the whole lot. Did you order it from your local dealer?
Carl interesting read about your theory on the solenoid valve.i was wondering if you knew anything about the evr valve which is also to do with the egr valve.it looks a bit like the solenoid valve I bought can that also affect the juddering nick is experiencing???
Just had an email from a member in Europe who was experiencing this problem too.. he read the thread, disconnected his solenoid frequency valve.. and guess what.. problem solved B)
Carl, for an accountant you sure have a good handle on engines!!
Carl, I do agree with you.. but I can't help but feel if at least one of the guys experiencing the problem would have just taken it to a friendly dealer like HH earlier - it probably would have been diagnosed quicker.. And I also note that CJ did definitely mention it on the old forum but even I missed it!!
Oh well, you live and learn I guess
Nick, I'll be picking the filter up hopefully Tuesday Lunchtime, then I'll fit the filter when I get back to the office and see how it is on the way home when the engine is colder, if all ok with just the filter change, I think I will wait until I have driven it the next morning to confirm. If it still shows signs then I'll replace the valve and let you know what happens, as soon as possible.Well fingers crossed, if it works it will be great.
Connected mine back up today and I definitely believe the hesitation and jerking is worse and more often. As soon as you find out one way or another Carl, let me know and I will go down to the local stealer
It does show a fault code mate (the hint is in the ***le of the thread)
It was there a bit at first, but I noticed it a lot more the second time and its there quite a bit today. Didn't really notice if it was quieter, but is does sound different. Also had a look at the swirl valve lever when it was disconnected and it doesn't move (as I suspected) when you plug it back in the swirl valve lever starts operating again, but mine seems to fluctuate a lot, which I am not sure if it should do that much!Nick, I'll be picking the filter up hopefully Tuesday Lunchtime, then I'll fit the filter when I get back to the office and see how it is on the way home when the engine is colder, if all ok with just the filter change, I think I will wait until I have driven it the next morning to confirm.

Also did you notice the engine was quieter whilst dis-connected as opposed to connected?

Also as you mentioned I have never had the warning light like Waj had, so I suppose it would have been difficult to find until someone had the issue.
Well keep me posted. By Wednesday/Thursday I could be down the dealer getting mine ordered!
Ed, IME lings is the last place I would get parts they always want top dollar, HH would be cheaper Im sure.
Agreed, I've never considered buying from Lings, though it seems looking through this thread Lings and Honda dealers are the same price for this part. I take it you don't think HH would do a discount for us then specifically on this one?
Carl, mine is facelift, but I'd wager its the solenoid vac unit that has failed, though would be nice it was just the filter. I'm abroad until the first week in November, but watching this thread with great interest, I'll ask my wife to ring up and order the bits so that they are waiting for me to fit as soon as I'm home if the results are as favourable as they seem to be. Anyway fingers are crossed it might just be a bunged up filter, though did I read that they had redesigned the solenoid/vac unit as the original needed improving?
All eyes are on you now, we are waiting with baited breath.
