Morning all.Checking out a 2.4 type s today but Ive only ever had the cdti or the dtec engine.What are the common problems I can look out for on the 04 type s 2.4? Ive had the run of the mill manifold and calipers with the diesel so not wanting to buy a pup as it where.Any advice appreciated

Hi did you sell this? Looking for a carat present

Hopefully tyres then! Borrowing a complete set off another car to try and discover if its the car or the wheels

Hi thanks for responses Im not sure if they were balanced on the car or not as Honda done it.The alloy that was repaired was balanced off but the rest I am unsure of.I suppose what would be a way to tell would be to swap wheel off another one.Doubt whether honda may do that.They wont test drive...

Hi just recently got an 8th gen type s.Brilliant car but when you get above 70mph...obviously for over taking purposes..there is a shocking vibration.I literally feel it everywhere.Through the floor, seat and steering wheel.Ive had the wheels rebalanced and an alloy with a skight ding repaired.I...

Thanks guys.Yeh spoke with Honda today and they are saying I SHOULD be fine after the update etc etc doesnt sound like it on here.

So if i was to drive it 25 miles in each direction a day but took it for a good tun at the weekend we could b ok? Honda said to me today that there was a known issue on 09-12 plate dtecs but with a new software update they wouldnt expect to replace the dpf until 140k

Does anyone know how many miles into a journey before regen takes places.My main daily trip is only about 20 mins of dual carriageway about 17 miles of journey.Works well for my cdti but will i kill of an 8th gen dtec with this?

I am going to tackle the dealer.If they replace it I would feel much easier about it knowing my own driving style etc.Knowing its already had a regen on mot could be useful.if not then deals off I would rather a petrol in that case.

Its pretty bad then if the way to fix it is what is then considered to be an illegal move.Frustrates me as its really putting me off but REALLY want the car! Does anyone have a good story with these? Does sound like I would just need to get it removed.

Nice one.Thank you

Hi cheers Matt.my 7th is a diesel and thats faired pretty well.I do 50 miles a day driving up the a11 so it wouldnt get a bad drive.Would you happen to know what sort of price I maybe looking at for a removal?I would have a 12month warranty ar least but I think I may need to check if the dpf...

Hi all, looking at replacing my 7th gen icdti with a 8th type s 2.2 diesel.I an however concerned that I will need to pay for a new dpf As never had a car with one of these before is this an item that will need replacing by a certain time? The car has done 80k but on last mot they said Hinda...

Thank you for replying.Im not really sure whats going on with my clutch now.it doesnt slip in high gears and its stopped slipping since its little meltdown the other week where i was left with no clutch.However turned the car back on and it was fine.Maybe its a hydraulic issue.Ive probably done...

Im now at a cross road of fixing my 7th gen which i think is now dosplaying issues of dmf or clutch or hydraulics.Something isnt right therebut its still going.now on 152k with original parts still.excluding manifold and a caliper.What sort of mileage can I expect to keep this going smooth...
