Ok so I have the dreaded black death on the accord. Seems like its been this way a while. I bought this car as a starter family car so am a bit concerned about the fumes in the cabin more than the loss in mpg or emmissions. I was told by a guy at the motor factors that its fine and to just leave it be but I wouldnt mind having a bash at sorting it out although I read some horror stories about injectors breaking inside the cylinder head. I was also told to pour a can of coke over the injector and leave it overnight to eat away at the black death. Im quite handy with a set of spanners and have performed engine swaps and turbo conversions on hondas in the past but have never worked in a diesel. Should I just get the seal from honda and set aside a weekend to do this? If the injector doesnt come out first time should I just pour on more coke and leave again, using time to get the job done rather than brute force? It would be nice to hear from someone who has had a go at doing this. I cant see it being rocket science but I obviously dont want to cause a hefty repair bill.
Any pointers would be grealty appreciated
