Hi Mark and welcome to the forum. Does your car have the Nav or is it the other consol? My car has the sat nav built in which does have a sort of basic diagnostics screen, or more to the point a map of various items that I guess go through the nav panel control. Ant, GPS, navi ECU, Audio...

Hi Brian, I had a look under the hood and don't think it is possible to remove the compressor from below unless you lower the sub frame or maybe slide it out the inner wheel arch. Since you have to remove the auxiliary belt to get the compressor out, it is only 10 minutes work to pull the...

Yep took alternator out then aircon fan and finally compressor out, all from above. I only popped in to see if anyone replied lol. I'm working on a friends Vectra at the moment. he said it was rattling. The idiot who changed his cambelt had split the cambelt cover and bodged it with fibreglass...

I connected the patch lead to the sensor only and got similar results to my previous readings. Resistance Again if you look at sensor and number the pins from top to bottom as 1, 2, 3 (***uming the plastic release clip on the sensor is facing the front of the car) I had readings of 1-2 =...

Nearly there. When I got home I got straight to it. 1) Poly belt off with my newly made extended 14mm spanner. 2) Alternator out 3) Condenser fan out 4) Air con pump out Fitting is the reverse All covered elsewhere so no point in clogging the DIY with repeat pics unless anyone wants specifics...

Hi Brian, RE. The flashing glow plug symbol, it only started flashing the moment I started the car up after they sucked the refrigerant out. I had done those tests on the pressure switch the day or so before that, with no flashing light. Hmmm the only other thing I did at the same time as...

Yeah I'm not convinced with the switch measurements either. I may make a patch lead so I can test it in situ. One other thing I forgot to mention, when I had the refrigerant sucked out the injector heater coil symbol is now constantly flashing. From what I understand this means that the system...

Not yet. I changed the condenser yesterday and did a fuel filter change this afternoon then the spare compressor turned up. Now I know what to check for I think I can remove this outlet pipe easily without removing the unit. I will try tomorrow after work. If it doesn't (hope it doesn't) then...

Replacement pump arrived today so will fit on Friday evening hopefully. On checking it, appears to pump fine. I put a rubber glove over the outlet and sealed it tight. Even just rotating the pump by hand inflated the glove. I did video it and have it on photobucket (sad I know) so just need to...

Damn I love you guys. I did the oil & filter change last week then ordered a fuel filter, pollen & air filters. They arrived yesterday (yep all original Honda parts). Air filter was 5 minutes if that, (incidentally my car has been secretly smoking as I found a cigarette butt and a leaf in the...

Update: I have swapped out the condenser this evening... well 4 hours of swearing. I wish car manufacturers would use stainless fixings on the lower areas, namely the spring type clips with nuts attached that hold the side under tray on. I broke all 4 of these clips and a small piece of under...

PM sent Thanks

Hi Jason, Ooops didn't spot the fact your running a 2.4 :rolleyes: Thank you for the info. I will ring HH tomorrow, is there a contact or do I just ring the sales number? Jay

Hi Jason, I'm thinking of changing this belt so am glad I found you write up thanks. As I have to remove my air con compressor (I have read about a revised shorter belt to reduce premature alternator bearing failure due to the amount of wrap it does on the pulley) and have noticed I have the...

Pedro, Thank you for the document info. It's a good find. Much appreciated. Brian, Thank you for translating the system function. Why is it that it is so hard to get electrical schematics of the Accord diesel? (I see that even Haynes is sparse on the Honda side). When I transplant the...
